Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CL500 2026
The Honda CL500 is an uncomplicated scrambler with a cool look, light-footed handling and a surprisingly revvy engine. It offers riding pleasure for everyone, whether on the road or on light off-road terrain. The CL500 shines on winding roads in particular with its agile, intuitive riding experience. Its versatility and accessibility make it an ideal companion for everyday use, while Honda's extensive range of accessories allows the scrambler to be customised. Even on demanding long-distance routes, such as the Balkan Rally, the CL500 has proven to be a reliable and fun partner.
BMW F 450 GS 2026
The BMW F 450 GS is a surprisingly mature A2-category adventure bike. Its 420cc twin cylinder produces plenty of grunt on public roads, its low weight keeps handling pleasantly light even with a passenger, and the adjustable suspension provides clear feedback whilst maintaining a decent level of comfort. Two slender riders can travel comfortably on it with luggage, provided the limited payload and narrow pillion seat suit the riders. On long journeys, the only moderate wind protection and the lack of cruise control become more noticeable; at higher motorway speeds, revs, vibrations and fuel consumption increase. Those not expecting a luxury cruiser will find an accessible, economical and agile touring motorbike that is capable of far more than its 48 Horsepower would suggest.
