Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys-X 300 2018

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Honda CB500X 2014

Good wind protection, a comfortable, somewhat higher seating position and a relatively comfortable chassis make the CB500X look good even on long journeys. The extra price compared to the naked CB500F is therefore justified and well invested - especially as the CB500X remains unbeatably affordable!

Sophisticated looks

The front single disc is slightly weakened when driving in a sporty manner.
