Yo Juliane, Oh yeah, I remember those Dream CL72s they were my first rides as a youth. Great Motorsickles. Easy to ride. Oh yeah I'm showing my age. I have 58 years riding under my Butt. I still Live, Breathe & Bleed Honda Red. Thank you for a great review and all the specs. Most people overlook these smaller displacement Motorsickles. They forget how fun they are to ride. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up. Hello again from Mid Michigan, USA 🇺🇸
I didn’t even know the existence of this bike… thank you for bringing me the news, Juliane!😊
Wonderful review - excellent commentary and footage. Greetings from the USA!
Quite comprehensive review and thanks for mentioning on the tank / fuel range. Appreciate that ☺️
Thank you. Very much appreciated . The sun always seem to shine in your beautiful motorcycle videos and you provide just the sweetest Dutch German flavoured American English accent.
Thank you very much! 😊
@@ridenroll.juliane You are so sweet we should meet. I know I will have to settle for only dreams. Wishing you and yours all the best.
Well done! Great review,very thorough😊
Such a pleasure watching your vids, you always have terrific content with great insights and information 😊
Thanks so much! ☺️🙏
Appreciate your hard work on that review.
Nice review, I like the look with the hand guards and front mud guard … looks like a good all rounder for everyday use 👊
Good, thorough, candid job, Thanks.
Great review….always like your focus on rider considerations such as seat height, handling and temperament.
Wow, that wasn't your normal voice for sure. You sounded like heat exhaustion was kicking in. Thanks for soldering through a very informative review Juliane.
Thank you for review!
I'm also big fan of scrambler motorcycle appearance.
Very nice review!! Keep it up!!
Excellent review, Juliane! I really like the scrambler look. The 790mm seat height is appealing to me because of my 28” inseam. I hope to see this bike in the U.S. soon. I enjoy your channel 😎
Thanks so much! Happy to hear! Fingers crossed it will come to the states! ☺️
Fantastic review! I just came across your channel and am very impressed. I'm seriously considering this as my second bike. Thank very much for your discussuion at 11:39 about passenger comfort...you are the ONLY review to give proper consideration on that topic. My wife is 5'2" so it sounds like she would be just fine there. Again, great job! Just subbed.
I miss my old CB500! Sold it for a triple though ;) happy riding Juliane!
Thanks for addressing the pillion aspect of this bike, and cool jacket!
Great review , informative and fun.👍
Great looking bike, glad it is finally appearing in showrooms, being similar height to you I do like to get your take on a machine, hopefully get to test ride one soon.
Love the look of this bike, great review :)
Nice review! soon to get mine 😊
great review, thanks!🎉
Great review 👍👌
I have Honda Navi 🎉 This is my first bike. "Scrambler" cl 500 be next. Best review on RUclips.🎉 Thank you very much.🛠️🙏👍🐥
I really like the idea of this bike. It's what will bring more GenXers to riding motorcycles.
Beautiful Bike!!! Congratulations!!
Top Lass! Great! Thorough Review Of The Bike! ignition switch unusual position! to the norm! Looks like you really enjoyed had fun! I hope I enjoy the bike as much! Cheers, Graham.
The ignition switch is in an old school(retro) position, in keeping with the vibe of the bike😉
And, my first bike a Honda XL 100 (1977) had its ignition in exactly the same place - strange place,yeah sort of!! But in keeping with the era😉
Nice review and bike.
Looks great without the white plastic on it ❤
I have an scl500 with very few miles on it because I bought it on end of year clearance so I've only had it during the winter. Years ago I had a early 70s 360cc Honda Scrambler that I rode the holy crap out of because I got it well used at a low price. Between the two they have the exact same build ethic, street engine with slightly modified frame and high muffler. I think I am going to love this Scrambler as much or more than the old one, and I am going to ride the crap out of her but not abusively. I will be turning her into a street racer.
I wish Honda would sell a larger tank for this with the “adventure package” even 3-4 more liters would bring a lot more peace of mind on longer trips
+1
I've already spoken to Nomad and Acerbis, might need a trip to Italy, as their English office is worse than useless(too busy moving buildings to talk to customers)!
I think your awesome taking on the challenges of riding that style bike long distances.
1000 litre tank would be good
@@paulharris3149 That's an S500....Scania
cool, thanks for the video
new subscriber here from Philippines, very straightforward review and informative. Perfect to what I have to know for this CL500, hope to see this in PH, i;'m sure the corrupt dealers here will take advantage of this. I think this will be a good choice versus Triumph, Ducati scrambler.... yeah I know, displacements are far from these pricier bikes, but it's honda, I think this is a well balanced bike.

They'll sell millions. Jury is out on the tank shape but I'm old school and would like the tank line to carry on below. But hey...by the end of the video it was growing on me. Not so much the muffler. Pity they couldn't shoot out two pipes. It would look wicked. I'm looking at a new bike. Had an earlier CB500X. Just can't go wrong. But the new CB500X (really like it) or this scrambler? Hmmm...I could travel and daily either. Great review Juliane. Thank you. Love from NZ. Ride safe everyone.
packed with information! 👏Thank you. exposed exhaust and radiator may cause problems off road perhaps.I guess you couldn’t take off your lovely Segura jacket because of the microphone? You could do clothes reviews too because you looked absolutely fabulous in that gear !👌
Love this bike, takes me back to my youth
yoot
Thanks nice Video , nice bike. Thinking to buy it for second bike for smaller tours and offroad
I love it! I hope Honda bring them to the states. They sell Rebel 500s like hotcakes here and once they bring their Scramblers, they won’t last a day in any Honda Dealership.
I hope so too! 🤞
Thanks for the review Juliane, nice one! Since you reviewed the RE 411, how do you feel between these two?
I certainly think it looks better with the off road extras ( handguards, mudguard and fairing) but what a shame they're not available in the same colours as the petrol tank. They just look like generic aftermarket add ons.
Nice bike. 👍
Nice review as always, I really like this and would consider buying an orange one. One thing I did find odd is the ignition key in the side of the bike, very odd I don't recall seeing one there in a modern bike before.
Rebel 1100?
Looking at some frames of your video, it seems that the exhaust muffler does not cover the the complete top..some part of exhaust is exposed on passenger side. Really liked that you specifically addressed that part in your video. I was a about to comment that I might not be confident as a passenger with that exposed exhaust.
7:09 nice lookright there, I have the same heigh as yours so I can really use it as a ref, thanks
que increible moto
thks good bike for city.😊
Nice, comprehensive review. Handy little bike and it did look good with the off-road/style pack. The only thing I did notice was how far through the stroke the forks seemed to sit, even with a lighter rider like yourself on smooth roads. I guess comfort is the name of the game, but I wonder how much suspension reserve the forks had under braking? Especially with a 100kg rider!
Thank you! There were guys on the press ride with >100kg and the fork worked well for them and had enough reserves.
After looking at all sorts for an Americas ,25.000mile ride, best bike was the Versys 300, once you take all factors into consideration, this ticks all the boxes,apart for the tank capacity... I've already spoken to Acerbis, need to follow up, and see what they say(UK office useless).
@@williamrae9954 the stock black seat has a really harsh edge pressing against your thigh too, it's soft on the butt but I felt that weird straight edge after 12km, I would recommend a different seat then it is very nice, otherwise it will be bittersweet
Another clip of my favorite motorcycle reviews. Until leading to the decision to buy a honda CL500 to be used to travel to work in a big city with dense traffic jams and not disappointed at all It's fun to drive it all morning and evening 6 days a week. I have a question What is the model of your riding shirt, brand?
ITS COMMING!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Coming to the States in Matte Green and Orange for the 2024 year lineup!
Awesome review! Great looking bike for sure. It would a great commuter and the perfect starter bike. It would be fun to customize as well. What color would you get? Best!
Thank you! I think I like green the best. You?
@@ridenroll.juliane The Gunpowder Black! With gold wheels.🤗
For some reason reminds me of my old Honda XL 250 I loved and rode everywhere. Hmm, 500cc twinn, 6 speed. Maybe 🤔
There's been examples of the engine case snapping in 1/2 on the 500's. They use the engine as a stressed member of the frame. That's OK if it's in the Rebel. But when people bring these off road, it's too much stress. A Scrambler needs a cradle frame, like all the dual-sports have.
I don't consider this bike in any way a scrambler. Its just not for off-road,,,,,
Really wish they had an 1100 Scrambler. I ended up trading in my Rebel 1100 for a GSX S1000GT because I couldn't get used to the cruiser riding position...
Great review. Bottom line, would you buy this bike?
Schönes Video, Danke Juliane 😊
Da hat es jetzt schon 32 Grad?
PS: Dein Gepäck ist schon wieder weg? Das darf doch net wahr sein 🙈
Danke! Ja Flugpersonal streikt überall -.-
The green one
Nice review.
Has anyone said you look like Princess Kate Middleton? :)
dear its a great review , but from Ur experiment are that bike good for travel around a counters or just for the city especially its Tank fuel is too small to can go high way ?
i.m Egyption from Cairo have Trumphe bike
in along with my previous comm are the Torque ( just 47 HP )of this bike enough to enable travel a high way ? thanks in advance
Which is better, Rebel or CL500? I am having a hard time choosing between the two. I prefer the CL500 but I think for the long run and longer trips with my gf on the back the Rebel is better. Can someone please advise?
love from sikkim, gangtok.
Good
What kind of jacket did you wore in the Bike? Thanks
What about wind? Do you know if a screen is an optional extra?
Inspired by Royal enfield Scram 😊
❤🙌
I guess if this gets successful then Honda will come up with their new 750 and/or 1100 engine scrams which would be very interesting...
I really hope they’ll also make a big scrambler 😻
750 comes with the Hornet/Transalp engine both in CL and GB750 formats in 2024...they are on RUclips... look em up
Nice little Bike 👍🏻 but the gastank looks like a hat 🤔 thx for Presentation
It does! Looks like a helmet, though. 😂
I'm shocked no-one has made like a shade for the LCD display yet.
Seen one and I ask why??; when the 500x is sleeker, more comfy, full size pillion seat. They have the exhaust up next to the passenger.
Can anyone tell me why some bikes have silver radiators
Great review Julianne! Thank you. How’s the seat height? I am 5’4 tiny girl so a bit worried about this as I make my next bike decision. Hope someone can reply to me!
It's 79cm. I am 5'4" with a 74.5cm inside leg. With 2" heels and the narrow seat, you should be able to flat foot or near as.😊 Always sit on a bike before you decide. For us smaller people, weight and balance are just as important.
Will they come to Australia 😢
Imagine classic SL350 pipes on this. It would be TDF.
che fikone🥰
I bet in 2024 it comes with twin brake disks in front.
They should have made a 750cc model scrambler
Hi, again, off the subject. Have you tried Aprilia Tuareg 660?
Unfortunately not
Hhmmm. Wonder if that seat will fit on the CB500X
Is ok for smaller persons not sure someone 6.6 will look right on it, is ok for Juliane, she can ride anything but a small bike is ideal as long as its got power/torque enough for her, 500cc should be ok,
There are so many cool bikes that don't seem to make it to the US shores.
How would the size be for a 188cm person?
CL500 or CB500X?
Honestly if you plan on doing light offroading/ gravel then why get a cb500x. I just wish the tank had a full shape instead of the chopped off Rebel like tank
Could i please ask what jacket you are wearing?? 👀
Yes it’s the Segura Vanda Ladies Jacket 😊
@@ridenroll.juliane thank you 👍👍👍
Wouldnt the exhaust start to heat your luggage? Otherwise lucky you to be in Seville! Watch out for the sun😉
As I understand it the luggage bag is only for the non exhaust side; you can then put luggage on top as well but not on the exhaust side!
👍🏻😀
Hard to call it a scrambler, suitable for mild off road, when it does not have laced wheels. Chromed laced wheels would definitely make it look the part of a 1960's derived Honda CL.
Available from Rally Raid Products... spunk yer cash,get your wish...simples
Also cannot disable the traction control for rooster tails..
dunno about the bike but love the jacket!
Olen nähnyt kaikenlaisia esittelystä Honda cl500 mutta kertokaa onkohan pyörä enemmän enduro vai katupyörä?
The extra seat does not fit properly and it is moving/wiggling. The pipe exhaust cover interferes with the heel and is fast-scratched/ worn by boots. Footrests are exactly in the place where you want to put your feet on the ground like on V Strom 650.
Dear Honda we need this Scram in India
You got the Scram 411 from RE though
Love the look, but I am a bit concerned about the size of the bike as I am 180cm (5'11").
I saw a review from another guy who was at this 'release', he is 6'3" and a decent build...no problems for him at all - he said! The only thing he did was to change the suspension settings,once he did this he loved it!!
@@mattbryan8535 name of the reviewer? I would love to watch that!
@@ScreaminpirateEDC The channel is visordown motorcycle reviews - good luck!
Slinging the exhaust under the motorblock is not acceptable for a scrambler!😂
My first thinking
Just mount it on the side as normal
@@the.communist the point is ground clearance. Honda is wasting about 10 centimetres or four inches. Not acceptable for a srambler
Than emission standards for that bulky and ugly and unnecessary catalytic converter, because there is no where to put the stupid thing. A 5-600 deg F box by your leg will cook it.
Honda CB500X de-cat pipes and a Rally Raid Products sumpguard, no issues...can't win,read Triumph comments, too hot at the right leg...better being under with a bash plate!
Needs wire wheels and better suspension (usd) fork
What for?
It would look and perform better with wired wheels
I wonder what is the real world range of the gas tank.... How is it at highway speeds... Best cruising on the highway speed ? Seems a worthy competitor to the scam....
I don’t care for the upsweep at the front of the tank. This style bike should have a more classic style tank. I just doesn’t fit the aesthetic.
I am sure it'll be a great fun bike, my old 650 Dominator was one of my favourites. But looks wise, this bike is absolutely drab, it has zero charm. It's missing something, an alloy front guard would help, anything to break up the drabness.
