However, such minor details cannot tarnish the good image of the Honda CB500F. After the first few metres, there was no question that it would be an excellent choice as an entry-level motorbike. But the fact that it can also meet higher demands is a little surprising, especially the engine pleases with its agile response and pronounced revving pleasure.
Yamaha MT-03 2019
The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.
