Honda CB500F (2016 - 2018)

The Honda CB500F is an outstanding beginner bike. It looks good, is affordable to buy and rides really well. It might not be as inexpensive as some smaller A2 bikes such as the KTM 390 Duke, but it certainly feels much more like a full-sized motorcycle.

Being an A2 bike, the Honda CB500F is not as powerful as some bigger motorcycles, but it has plenty of power for urban riding and short-distance commuting. On top of that, the fuel economy is excellent and you are buying a Honda, which means good reliability and high resale value.
