The Yamaha MT-07 2017 and the Honda CB500F 2019 are both naked bikes that offer a thrilling riding experience. However, there are several key differences between the two models that set them apart.
In terms of engine performance, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 comes out on top. It is equipped with a powerful in-line twin engine that delivers 75 horsepower and 68 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the Honda CB500F 2019 features a slightly less powerful in-line twin engine, producing 48 horsepower and 43 Nm of torque. This gives the Yamaha MT-07 2017 an advantage in terms of acceleration and overall power.
Both bikes have liquid-cooled engines and are equipped with steel frames, ensuring durability and stability. However, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 has a slightly smaller displacement of 689cc compared to the Honda CB500F 2019's 471cc engine. This means that the Yamaha MT-07 2017 may have a slight edge in terms of overall performance.

In terms of braking, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 features double disc brakes at the front, providing excellent stopping power. On the other hand, the Honda CB500F 2019 only has a single disc brake at the front, which may require more force on the lever to achieve the same level of braking performance. This could be seen as a weakness of the Honda CB500F 2019.
Both bikes have similar front tire widths and diameters, with the Yamaha MT-07 2017 having a rear tire width of 180mm compared to the Honda CB500F 2019's 160mm. This wider rear tire on the Yamaha MT-07 2017 may provide better stability and grip on the road.
In terms of dimensions, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 has a slightly shorter wheelbase of 1400mm compared to the Honda CB500F 2019's 1410mm. Additionally, the seat height of the Yamaha MT-07 2017 is slightly higher at 805mm compared to the Honda CB500F 2019's 790mm. These differences may result in a slightly different riding position and handling characteristics.

When it comes to weight, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 has a kerb weight of 182kg with ABS, while the Honda CB500F 2019 weighs slightly more at 191kg with ABS. This means that the Yamaha MT-07 2017 may feel slightly more agile and maneuverable on the road.
In terms of fuel capacity, the Honda CB500F 2019 has a larger fuel tank capacity of 15.7 liters compared to the Yamaha MT-07 2017's 14 liters. This may result in longer riding range and fewer fuel stops on the Honda CB500F 2019.
In summary, the Yamaha MT-07 2017 offers a more powerful engine and slightly better braking performance compared to the Honda CB500F 2019. However, the Honda CB500F 2019 has a playful and easy-to-handle nature, lower fuel consumption, and a smart LCD display with all necessary information. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on individual preferences and priorities.
Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-07 2017 compared to Honda CB500F 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2017
Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
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.
