Pros Cons of Honda CB500X

Pros

  • Great all round package
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Decent performance

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Only available in BigWing dealerships
  • More options available

Verdict

The Honda CB500X is a good touring machine and can take on the rough easily too. It is available in two colours - Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic and Grand Prix Red. The one big gripe that we have is the pricing, which feels exorbitant. Honda CB500X is actually a versatile motorcycle and It is perhaps the best-rounded package in the 500 cc space, but customers will have to be willing to pay the price for it.

Pros Cons Benelli Leoncino

Pros

  • Its parallel-twin engine produces gradual, predictable acceleration alongside a great exhaust note.
  • It has sharp stopping power with excellent feedback and response.
  • Rear suspension has a thoughtful side-mounted knob for quick, tool-free adjustments.
  • The dual-channel ABS can be completely switched off.
  • Its upright seating with wide handlebars gives you good control on daily commutes.
  • Wide and grippy tyres, both front and rear, offer confident grip especially while cornering.
  • Its neo-retro design elements make it an attractive motorcycle.

Cons

  • You will notice that the finish levels are inconsistent.
  • The front end can feel heavy while riding at slow speeds.
  • Its heavy clutch lever action makes riding in stop-and-go situations difficult.
  • There is no wind protection, which leaves you with wind blast at highway speeds.

Verdict

The Benelli Leoncino 500 is a nice effort to offer a classic neo-retro looking motorcycle. It’s addictive twin-cylinder exhaust note, linear power, quick braking capability, and relaxed ergonomics will make your weekend highway runs pleasant.

However, at its price point, you will not appreciate niggles such as the improper fit and finish, the heavy steering feel, and the stiff clutch lever action. Yet, buyers who love its road presence, comfortable ergonomics, and pure exhaust soundtrack will certainly lean towards it because there’s plenty of emotional appeal.
