Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500X 2013

Honda CB500X 2013

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!

Honda CMX500 Rebel 2020

It is always fascinating how much riding fun Honda has packed into the small Rebel 500. The technology is familiar thanks to the modular system and should - typically for Honda - last forever. Now, with the update for 2020, the little Rebel presents itself cooler than ever, because LED lighting and the optional Special Edition with quilted seat make it a cool custom cruiser ex works. Only the front brake could use more lard and the engine is a little characterless, even compared to the direct competition. Nevertheless, it is and remains a real insider's tip for cruiser lovers!
