Pros Cons of Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight

Pros

  • Classic H-D cruiser styling
  • V-twin engine sound

Cons

  • Small fuel tank limits range
  • Gearbox not very refined
  • Performance & acceleration

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.

Pros Cons Honda CBR650R

Pros

  • Solid performance
  • Focussed motorcycle
  • Good features

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Only available in BigWing dealerships
  • Committed riding position

Verdict

The Honda CBR650R is well-balanced with entertaining performance and with an agility that is quite likeable. However, it's still an expensive motorcycle and fails to convince for the steep price tag it commands.
