Honda CB500F 2013

Honda CB500F 2013

However, such minor details cannot tarnish the good image of the Honda CB500F. After the first few metres, there was no question that it would be an excellent choice as an entry-level motorbike. But the fact that it can also meet higher demands is a little surprising, especially the engine pleases with its agile response and pronounced revving pleasure.

Relatively low overall weight

Honda CB125R 2018

Honda CB125R 2018

If you prefer a retro look in the 125cc class, the Honda CB125R is exactly the right bike. Not only does it look very grown-up, the components installed are also of very high quality, as is typical of Honda. Even though the engine only produces 13.3 hp, the CB125R compensates well for the missing 1.7 hp with its ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. On the chassis and braking system side, the Honda is clearly ahead of the competition and is reminiscent of much more powerful motorbikes in the naked bike class.

good responsiveness

powerful brakes

sporty chassis

high-quality workmanship

low weight

Limited seating position

could have more power
