CB500 Hornet 2024 vs Vitpilen 401 2024

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The CB500 Hornet and Vitpilen 401 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the CB500 Hornet. Its seat height is 35mm lower than the Vitpilen 401, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops.
