Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500 Hornet 2024

Honda CB500 Hornet 2024

The Honda CB500 Hornet proves to be a mature and well-balanced naked bike that is an excellent choice in the A2 class.

Smooth but really sufficient engine power

good revvvy even at low engine speeds

precise and smooth clutch and gearstick

vibration-free riding performance

stable and pleasant chassis damping

excellent turning-in behaviour

powerful brakes with double disk front brakes

high build quality

clear and informative display

good handling and agility, user-friendly electronic Advanced Rider Assistance Systems

comfortable seating position

good balance between riding pleasure and safety.

higher weight compared to some competitors could be annoying for very light riders

suspension can be overloaded with a sporty riding style or higher rider weight

possibly less comfortable for taller riders

Suzuki GSX-R 125 2017

Suzuki GSX-R 125 2017

Maybe not in comparison with its big sisters, but in this class the GSX-R125 still passes for a real super sports bike. With a power output of 15 hp and a 6-speed gearbox, the Gixxer accelerates briskly towards the horizon, up to 125 km/h, thanks to its low weight of 134 kg. The lowest weight in the class also has a positive effect on the riding dynamics; the GSX-R125 can be thrown playfully from bend to bend. Only when the going gets really fast do you wish you had more feeling for the front wheel and better brakes.

low weight

strong acceleration for 15 hp

125 km/h top speed

wheelie capable

LED headlights

informative display

Brakes could be stronger

more front wheel feel desirable
