Moin people, hope to get a little help from you. Last week it was finally time and I successfully completed my practical exam and now owns the driving license of class A (bes.). I wanted to get a machine as soon as possible. It should not cost more than 1500,-€. Since I liked my driving school machine, a CB500, extremely well, it should become “actually” also my first machine. Well, now questions have come up, which I want to try with To clarify your help so that the purchase is a little easier for me: 1. Honda CB500 or yet a Kawa ER-5 Twister / Suzi GS 500 E? (Would I “actually” set myself on the CB500, but you get for 1500,-€ something neat? I have already been looking for in the I-Net, well, the offers are net so dolle, with the other manufacturers there are mostly better offers for the same sum.) 2. Does someone know motorcycle dealers in and around Hamburg? 3. Is it “short” before the cold season a motorist 4. The CB500 has different variants, some with, some without disc brake at the rear. I had one with in the driving school. But almost all the machines in my price segment have a drum brake at the rear. Is the gap between pros and cons so large that it would be better to bring a machine with disc brake at the rear? 5. Should you pay attention to special parts of the CB500 before buying the car? e, where for the price, often high mileage, are prone to wear? 6. Since I can drive only limited to 34hp… should one buy an already limited machine? Is it harmful for the engine to limit a machine sustainably? 7. Insurance and control technology…how much does the motorcycle cost with 34hp for a season (all year?) ? Is the open machine with 58hp much more expensive than the one with 34hp? So, ask more don’t come to mind at the moment. ^^ I hope to number rich answers and your opinions and tips. Mfg Eugen
