I take a look at the new Honda CL500 and compare it to the Svartpilen 401 which I've owned for quite a bit of time.
The two bikes represent very different takes on the scrambler theme, with the 401 delivering a more sportier and hard-nosed option more ideal for those who like a single-cylinder, razor sharp handling, and value for money.
The CL500 is a more accessible machine, with a stronger mid-range, more casual ergos, low seat and laid back overall handling characteristic, making for a more forgiving but still fun machine.
The CL500 also offers a great alternative to the Rebel 500 for people who like the package, but want something a bit different, but does give up the ultra low seat height of the cruiser.
MotoHub in Sydney were kind enough to lend me their demo Honda CL500, so check them out if you're in Sydney and would like a test ride (they also stock Husqvarna!):
