Overall Good Bike
The Honda CB500F is a 470cc bike with a sleek design and average to good looks. It comes with dual-channel ABS and front and rear disk brakes. It can go up to a top speed of around 190 kmph and has good performance. It has a 17-liter field tank and a liquid-cooled engine. The overall riding experience was powerful and the bike felt great except for a little discomfort while riding due to a little low handlebar. It can be great for shorter distances but for long rides, it feels uncomfortable. It gives around 28 kilometers per liter which are not bad compared to the performance.

Excellent bike
The KTM RC 390 is a standout in the entry-level sportbike segment, offering a perfect blend of performance, style, and technology. Powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine, it delivers an exhilarating 43.5 horsepower, making it ideal for both city rides and spirited highway runs. The bike’s lightweight trellis frame ensures sharp handling, while its WP Apex suspension and dual-channel ABS provide confidence-inspiring stability and braking. The aggressive design, complemented by full-LED lighting and a TFT display, enhances its appeal. Though the firm seat may feel uncomfortable for long rides, the RC 390 remains a top choice for thrill-seekers and enthusiasts.
