Honda CB500F 2021

Honda CB500F 2021

Honda has significantly improved the rounded package called CB500F for 2022. Thanks to better brakes and a higher-quality chassis, the handling has been significantly upgraded. Both beginners and experienced riders will feel very comfortable on this bike and enjoy it for many years to come. Only the suspension strut is not quite up to scratch - but there still needs to be room for improvement somewhere.

Yamaha T-MAX 530 ABS 2016

Yamaha T-MAX 530 ABS 2016

The Yamaha TMAX sets the bar high in the luxury scooter segment. The powerful 530cc two-cylinder pushes mightily, motorway stages should not be a problem. The sound and handling are more reminiscent of a motorbike than a scooter - in a positive sense. Comfort is also good, so holiday trips should not be a problem. Only the high weight and the dimensions of the TMAX are annoying, in the city you need almost the same space as a car. On top of that, the price is high, which will probably make the TMAX more of an exotic on our roads.
