Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 GS 2019

BMW G 310 GS 2019

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price

Honda CB500F 2019

Honda CB500F 2019

In summary, the new CB500F still fully lives up to the motto "playful and effortless". Thanks to modifications in the intake and exhaust area, the engine now delivers 4% more in the rev range between 3,000 and 7,000 revs, which should be positively noticeable in the less fast but all the more important everyday operation. The other innovations such as the anti-hopping clutch, LCD display with gear indicator and the proud handlebars make life even easier for two-wheeled beginners. In my opinion, there is no need for traction control on A2 machines. On the contrary, I think it can't hurt to learn how to use the right hand yourself at the beginning. The CB500F is indeed ideally suited for precisely this beginning. And experienced riders could also be truly thrilled by its smoothness. Especially when the road goes downhill.

Playful and easy to handle

high-revving engine with linear power delivery

low fuel consumption

smooth clutch

smart LCD display with all information

Brake needs a lot of force on the lever
