Pros and Cons in comparison
CFMOTO 450NK 2024
The CFMOTO 450 NK proves to be a surprisingly solid and price-conscious alternative in the naked bike segment. It offers good engine performance with smooth running and a throaty sound, an accessible riding position and a pleasant riding performance. Despite some weaknesses such as the torsion-prone fork under heavy braking and the very labby clutch, it has no serious shortcomings and is a real option for riders looking for an inexpensive, yet powerful bike. On the other hand, it also offers no advantages over the competition in this class. The price advantage is not big enough.
Kawasaki Z 500 2024
With 52 cubic metres more displacement, the new Z500 does not appear to be a ground-breaking development compared to its predecessor, the Z400, but the increase in torque actually makes for a much more confident and mature appearance. The handling remains extremely playful thanks to the low weight and narrower tyres, while the ergonomics are what you would expect from an easy-going A2 naked bike. The suspension surprises with a really successful compromise between sport and comfort for all weight classes. The unagitated brakes, the smooth clutch and the easy manoeuvring make it clear that the new Z500 is aimed at all newcomers. However, the better and more modern equipped Z500 SE does not cost much more than the standard Z500.
