Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500F 2017

Even after a few years in production, Honda manages to keep the CB 500 F fresh. With LEDs in the front and rear and a revised engine, the naked bike remains a great A2 motorbike tip. Its grown-up appearance gives it a real big-bike feel, which means it doesn't have to hide at all. It could only be better if it had a gear indicator.
