Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 R 2017

BMW G 310 R 2017

The BMW G 310 R scores with easy handling that should not overtax any beginner. The great responsiveness of the single cylinder makes it easy to control, and the low seat height gives a secure footing at traffic lights. For reasons of cost, savings were made in some corners, which unfortunately also becomes visible. In comparison, the workmanship is not on a par with the competition.

Smooth response

low seat height

pretty design

throaty sound

Individual components look cheap

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
