Pros Cons of 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.

Pros Cons 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.
