Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.

Apart from the somewhat grimmer-looking LED headlights, the main difference between the new SH350i and the SH300i is the new, 50-cubic larger engine. This makes the SH350i even more agile than the already amazingly nimble SH300i. The handling is as stable as you would expect from the big wheels, yet pleasantly manageable and, above all, very comfortable. The practical Smart Key system remains, new are the HSTC traction control as a "safety net" and the full LCD instruments that make the 350 SH a smart evolution of the SH300i.
