Reviewed: Honda NX500

Honda's hugely popular CB500X has been given a makeover for 2024, as well as a new name - the NX500.
This adventure bike inspired 'crossover' utilises Honda's venerable A2 compatible, 471cc parallel-twin engine and delivers an easy going and versatile motorcycle, now with the added advantage of less weight, more aerodynamic bodywork, added rider aids and a smart TFT dashboard.
Insidebikes' Paul spent some time with this 'new' model earlier to bring us this video review. Read his full report on our website, at: www.carolenash...

I have been a biker for over 50 years, had loads of fast bikes, but now I'm older this size engine and wieght suits me just fine. Highly recommended if you want a comfortable high mpg machine!

[@kevinarmstrong478]

Same here I love my CRF300 but something a little more powerful and interesting would be nice.

[@rontheretiredone]

@kevinarmstrong478 I've had interesting and powerful, but as you get older (70+) your needs and expectations change! Love from Leeds x

[@kevinarmstrong478]

@@rontheretiredone very true I hope I will be riding into my 70’s plus too. And yes the NX is a great bike for us older guys I went with the CRF but would like something a little lower and slightly better on the road and the Nx is on the short list!

​@@kevinarmstrong478make it a 350 or a 400cc will be much better. It will be the same VED band and will still sip fuel

[@stephenparsons5039]

Traded in my gs exclusive for one of these , loving it 😊

[@chrishart8548]

Ive seen this bike now i think i prefer one of the last cb500x

[@leeinwis]

Bam ! Me too .

[@jon3340]

Can I ride this bike 65mph for an hour comfortably?

[@roadwarrior8560]

NX750 with the Transalp engine is needed to go up against the Vstrom 800re now.

[@eddale5557]

In Norway the price is 9800 Euro pluss registration the dealer cost then it cost about 10500 euro!

[@chrishart8548]

does seem expensive to have any vehicles in Norway.

[@leeinwis]

[@eddale5557]

@@chrishart8548 No an i have put on enginebars 200 pound then a main support 230 pound so now it is pretty good actually and it is cheap insurance too it cost about 350 pund a year for full coverty so i am happy _)

Rather damning with faint praise, basically "It's not as bad as you'd think" conclusion. Other reviews have been much more positive.

Why is he talking so loud?

[@kevinarmstrong478]

The CF Moto 450MT is going to slaughter the NX looking ah how much more the MT provides.

[@georgeharsin6292]

Make sure you pack your toolkit when riding your CF Moto Lol

[@dparmar005]

It's no Honda though.

[@jamiepops62]

I bought my cb500x for the long haul,the CF Motos won't worth fixing when they are 5yrs old

[@kevinarmstrong478]

@@jamiepops62 very true I expect with the minimal of care my CRF should make it way past 100 000 kms however CF Moto have been in Australia for decades and have a decent reputation and the 450 is a reasonably sedate low compression engine that should last well.

[@chrishart8548]

​@@kevinarmstrong478the 450 cf moto does seem to good to be true.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

How is this bike in motorway speeds? Do you feel much vibration on the handle bars and footpegs?
Also, what are the fuel economy mpg, numbers?
