Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM RC 390 2024
The KTM RC 390 presents itself as a sporty and dynamic bike that is particularly suitable for riders looking for an agile and manoeuvrable machine. Its fully adjustable suspension and low weight ensure precise and easy handling, while the comprehensive electronics package, including the innovative supermoto ABS, offers additional safety and riding pleasure. The engine, on the other hand, shows weaknesses in power delivery, especially at low revs, which is not what you would expect from a single-cylinder engine. The aggressive riding position is a double-edged sword: it enables a sporty riding experience, but can be uncomfortable for longer rides.
Honda CBR500R 2018
The new CBR500R ranks directly below the popular CBR600RR super sports bike in the model segment of the Honda CBR family, at least in terms of displacement, and thus has high expectations to meet. However, it solves this task with flying colours and carries the model designation worthily into the entry-level segment. Especially with its captivating looks, defined by the use of LED technology, there is no need to hide with this motorbike. The improved engine is now even more fun to ride, as the sound has also improved considerably thanks to the new rear silencer. When racing, you should choose the right track due to the limited top speed, but it still remains very stable in every situation.
