Honda CB500 Hornet 2024

Honda CB500 Hornet 2024

The Honda CB500 Hornet proves to be a mature and well-balanced naked bike that is an excellent choice in the A2 class.

Smooth but really sufficient engine power

good revvvy even at low engine speeds

precise and smooth clutch and gearstick

vibration-free riding performance

stable and pleasant chassis damping

excellent turning-in behaviour

powerful brakes with double disk front brakes

high build quality

clear and informative display

good handling and agility, user-friendly electronic Advanced Rider Assistance Systems

comfortable seating position

good balance between riding pleasure and safety.

higher weight compared to some competitors could be annoying for very light riders

suspension can be overloaded with a sporty riding style or higher rider weight

possibly less comfortable for taller riders

Kawasaki Z650 2024

Kawasaki Z650 2024

The Kawasaki Z 650 is probably the most docile motorbike in the naked bike segment. And that is to be understood in an absolutely positive way - as long as you are not particularly tall and heavy. It is slim, light, agile and accessible. All the controls, but also the engine, do not overwhelm. If you are looking for spectacular performance, you should go for the Z 900, but if you are looking for a nimble and easy-to-ride motorbike, you will be satisfied.

Very accessible handling

Very compact and easy to manoeuvre

Motorcycle appears light and compact

Gives small riders a lot of confidence

Adjustable levers

Not enough space on the bike for tall riders

bike looks a class smaller than 650cc overall

engine looks a bit tame

very defensive seating position

handlebars too narrow and cranked too much for a naked bike.
