Honda CBR500R 2022

Honda CBR500R 2022

The Honda CBR500R impresses as a versatile and reliable bike with good throttle response, smooth engine running and comfortable ergonomics, ideal for touring riders. Its effective brakes and stable suspension ensure confidence and safety. Visually appealing and with a high-quality finish, it offers solid electronics. However, the high weight and less torquey power compromise sporty riding. The limited maximum lean angle limits the sportiness. Overall, it is a reliable bike with comfort and safety, but with limitations when it comes to sporty riding.

Good throttle response and controllability

Quiet and silky smooth engine running

Comfortable ergonomics suitable for touring

Effective brakes and reliable ABS system

Stability and confidence-inspiring suspension

Attractive appearance and high-quality workmanship

Solid electronics with user-friendly traction control

High weight affects handling and power

Less powerful and aggressive engine than expected

Suspension only adjustable at the rear

Limited maximum lean angle due to footrests touching down early

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2020

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a perfectly sized supersport motorbike. With its 130 hp, sporty but controlled riding is possible. The shorter gearing and the 36cc extra displacement ensure that you can be a bit lazier on the road. A worthy flag-waver for the 600cc supersport segment.

Great engine with a great mix of revving and torque

supersport pleasure with lively handling - but still no ascetic feeling in the saddle

well responsive fork and decent, adjustable chassis.

Some details could do with more finesse - number plate holder and indicators!

The overall silhouette is not sporty enough. The sporty bike could do with more aggressiveness.
