Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Honda CB500F 2015

La nouvelle CB500F se présente, comme ses prédécesseurs bicylindres CB500 et CBF500, comme une moto sophistiquée pour les débutants, les personnes qui reprennent le travail ou pour les trajets quotidiens vers le travail. Grâce au phare à LED moderne et au feu arrière à LED, Honda vit avec son temps et propose ainsi un super package dans la catégorie de permis A2. Avec sa maniabilité agile, elle convainc aussi bien dans le trafic urbain que sur les routes de campagne et, grâce aux retouches apportées au moteur et à la boîte de vitesses, elle fait une figure plus sportive que jamais. Le châssis offre en revanche suffisamment de confort, qui est encore renforcé par le levier de frein réglable.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2018

Alors que la Continental GT 650 n'est pas un modèle totalement nouveau (il existe déjà la Conti GT 535), c'est la première fois depuis près de 50 ans qu'une Interceptor 650 à moteur bicylindre est lancée sur le marché. Le style reflète donc habilement le flair des années 1960, tandis que la technique est à la pointe du progrès. On cherche en vain des fonctions électroniques, mais le moteur bicylindre parallèle de 48 ch et 53 Nm de couple est étonnamment agile et la maniabilité est très neutre. Le frein Brembo plaît également par son bon dosage et les pneus Pirelli ne présentent aucune faiblesse. La position de conduite est très confortable, ce qui permet à ceux qui ne souhaitent pas rouler de manière sportive avec leur Interceptor 650 de cruiser tranquillement, car elle le fait aussi très bien.
