Pros and Cons in comparison

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

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.

Good engine performance

smooth running

throaty sound

comfortable seating position for smaller riders

very smooth clutch

pleasant riding performance

smooth gearstick

good throttle response

suitable for smaller riders

surprisingly good performance for the price

attractive display

The fork, for example, offers too little reserves under heavy braking

the smooth-running clutch is a little too soft and fiddly to operate for experienced riders

play in add-on parts

less precision at high speeds

insensitive front brake

lack of anti-hopping clutch

limited space for legs for tall riders

weak braking performance compared to competitors
