Features

Pros Cons of Yamaha FZ-X

Pros

  • Comfortable city bike
  • Decent road presence
  • Connected features

Cons

  • Overall quality 
  • Minor vibrations at high speeds
  • Poor feedback on brake levers

Verdict

It's a design, which, in a way, feels incomplete, rather than being generally attractive. That is its biggest weakness, and to us, the FZ-X comes across as a well-rounded package, but still doesn't quite cut it as being "special," like the first Yamaha FZ-16 did, more than a decade ago. The Yamaha FZ-X offers an interesting proposition. The idea is great, and will probably start the first of the crossovers in the 150-200 cc segment.

Pros Cons 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.
