My favorite thing about my old CB500X was the engine and gas mileage. It was a beast on a tour. I was thinking of gettin a new CB500X but this NX500 is a no-brainer. This after having gone from CB500X to Africa Twin; I'm going back. An outstanding commuter bike, that you can take out for a weekend road (even dirt road) adventure. It appears to be more of a baby TransAlp then a baby Africa Twin. I love the accessory package and would still add a bash-plate and side cases.
I know you've only just posted and there will be more reviews on this bike but this is the best I've seen so far. Like the double act and like the criteria put up on screen throughout. Taking my full test this year and seriously looking at purchasing in white with the adventure pack extras. You've confirmed a lot of what I thought about it , a good do it all bike with Honda tested reliability. Already subscribed. I'm watching your 'likes' mount up as I type , 88 in 32 minutes. Well done son !
That´s so interesting for me. I would like to know, why do you mean it? First I thougt the Honda managers/designers went crazy, but it’s not obviously true. There are many people who like this new look. From my point of view, the new head lights, it’s like for kids, good for those plastic small bikes. Actually, it’s the reason for not buying this bike. CB500X looked much better and Transalp looks much much better too, of course. I dont understand NX500. Maybe new generation or more focused on Chinese consumers, I dont know. Compare it with design of Italian bikes or Triumph. NX500 is terribke. Just my opinion.
Don’t know why people are so excited for the CFMoto & Himalayan 450s when this bike exists. All 3 are the same weight but this has more power and better fuel economy. And it’s a Honda
Price segment , himalayan 450 is approximately half the price for honda NX500 in india, not everyone can afford honda Himalayan 450 is around 4,00,000 rupees Honda NX500 is around 7,00,000 rupees
Sounded like they only focused on the positives on this video, which doesn't bode well for the suspension. That's a shame because I'm quite interested in this bike
@@zenjm6496 I drove the previous gen offroad and it's can do some tricks there. Sure, it's not even close to Tenere 700, for example, but it definitely not the tarmac-only bike.

The Honda nx500 motorcycle will always have a great love by their owners. Plus nx500 has that sweet spot for those who don’t want a hug adventure motorcycle . Like for me I find the v-Strom 650xt adventure motorcycle is perfect for me !! Thank you for another awesome review!!
Such a great review and what I love about the channel i.e I’d never entertain purchasing a bike like the NX but still interested in watching Motobob uploads due to your enthusiasm and general positive vibes...🤙
Greetings from India! It's a welcome update to a proven bike for its target market, so may sound like an ad indeed, but overall a nice summary. My two cents about the updated switchgear - the joystick like backlit switchgear pairs well with Honda Roadsync app, and simply transforms your connectivity experience while riding. I have been using this combination on their CB350 series launched in India, for the past 3 years, and I don't want to go back to a motorbike that doesn't have it! Not having to lift your arm to reach intercom mounted on your helmet, when cruising at 100km/hr or more, is a big relief. The app is thoughtfully designed, controlled using the joystick or even voice and allows to pick or dial call, dictate or send preset texts, switch on/off music, start navigation by picking from set favourite destinations etc. Really helpful when touring long distances.
Nice review. You guys are so good together. I think this bike would be a bit underpowered for me. But it’d be a great little bike for commuting or touring or even weekend fun just to get out there
I’m not an ADV guy but even I’m starting to think I may want to swap my Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory for either this bike or the Transalp. They both look like good, no nonsense bikes you can just hop on and ride.
@@dIsAstErTR Yes, lots more power and premium components, of course, but there’s a lot to be said for a having a bike you don’t necessarily mind dropping.
Great review. I am still riding the 2021 version of this bike and here in Japan it is sold as the 400X. This is due to license classifications in Japan being up to 400cc and over 400cc. I love my 400X but i do find the gearbox to be a bit clunky going from first to second and it seems very heavy. Otherwise can't complain. Look forward to seeing the 2024 model.
Honestly, no. I feel like I'm wasting my money if I have cheap plastic factory handguards and go about replacing them with barkbusters, better off keeping the initial price as low as possible and let the buyer decide what extra parts to get rather than force them on everyone. Same with skidplates, factory ones are mostly no good for the job and you end up replacing them anyway. Better off if Honda keeps the standard price down by say $200 instead of throwing useless extras on. 12v plug should come stock though.
@@Tobias611 in my country,There is premium version with Crosspro crashbar and skid plate,Barkbusters hand guards and original centre stand with 12v socket all for USD900 extra.If you opt for Moriwaki exhaust,ECU upgrade and Velocity stacks that will be USD1600 extra.
@@Iamwhatiam76 I would be interested in these parts you mentioned. Can you please let me know more info on Moriwaki exhaust,ECU upgrade and Velocity stacks ? I'm from India.
I'd much rather they increase ground clearance and provide a better rear shock, the aftermarket provides lots of good options for the items on your list.
Love riding through chedder gorge...just got my brand new benelli trk702x yesterday so will be there this week ...had a benelli trk502x before it and it was a gr8 bike...the 500cc bikes are really good indeed ..you don't need a 1000cc monster for touring
Hey, great review! I was genuinely waiting for this machine to be reviewed. One question, can we know what are the possible 8 things that you didn’t like about this machine compared with this same segment motorcycles? Please also share your reviews on this. Thank you!
Honda just needs to put the Transalp engine in this style of bike with cast rims and tubeless tyres, throw in cruise control and the thing will outsell everything on the market. The big 'adventure' bikes are just too heavy and thirsty. For real world motorcyclists what we need is a mid sized do it all bike, Suzuki have it now with the Vstrom 800re,haven't tried one yet but I'm hoping Honda step up before I make the change from my DL650. this is an open goal for Honda, they have to produce an NX750 now.
@@HDcamel yea. idk how it'd work but if only this NX500, the Transalp, and the NC750X had a baby 🍼🏍️ then Honda would have nothing to upsell and go broke and we'd all be very unhappy, so yea, I'll be careful what I wish for.
How many HP you need? EU A2 bikes are restricted to 48 HP so if you live in EU or UK you can derestrict it and have 6 more ponys. Just call to closest dyno workshop.
@@hex_surfer4588 some bikes here in Australia, like my XSR700, have sleeved cylinders. So, derestricts give you peanut gains. And there's also stuff about legality and insurance non-compliance if you choose to derestrict. I'd rather not the headache.
The fuel consumption on the Honda 500s is bloody amazing for what you get. It’s the perfect bike for an 18 year old as a do-anything-go-anywhere that won’t kill you with faults, petrol or servicing. When the kid is old enough this is the kind of thing I’d love for him to get.
1. light and more nimble 2. outstanding fuel consumption. 3. Simple and not loaded with too much electronics options that you do not need. 4. decent power (why do you need fast bikes? speeding is illegal anyway)
Also like the look, but i even think in the other direction. Give it a single with around 40HP but assuming bike weights even 20kg less! THEN TAKE MY MONEY :D PS: very nice condensed review!
I have a 2020 500X which looks great, but the updated front end looks horrible! Very square and boxy compared to the sculpted look of the previous model.
I bought one last Saturday. The white color model is sold like hotcakes. It is sold out in many countries. The next batch is in September. My initial thoughts: it is a Honda what else? Pros and cons are in your mind and how many hours have you been influenced on RUclips 😂. Though, who compare CFMOTO with Honda, i guess that those folks have never seen any of them or they had never had a honda product in their ownership. If you don't know, I cana tell you right now. It is expensive, it is ugly, it uses mostly OEM parts but each time you uses it, it gives you a deep feeling of satisfaction, almost a smile on your face and that you weren't ripped off by a marketing scam, and you wouldn't mind to pay even more for what you got. Not many products can give such genuine satisfaction.
I test drove this bike a week or two ago and the cons imo are as follows - slightly underpowered - strong midrange but the low and top end leave a lot to desire -non-adjustable suspension (factory settings are stiff)
Other than the TFT, this doesn't strike me as a noticeable improvement to the 2022/2023 CB500X. Wind protection is likely worse, with that smaller windshield. The adventure pack is too expensive, there are better aftermarket alternatives for less. Disappointing that Honda didn't take this platform to true ADV status, which they could have done with more ground clearance and a better rear shock.
Everybody wants more ground clearance, but Honda knows how many riders they loose for every inch of increase in seat height...if you can barely tip toe the bike in the showroom, most riders will choose something else.
the chinese are now making this type of bike fully laden with accessories for the base price of this Honda. Some people will always rather pay extra for the Honda brand, but there's nothing on this that stands out.

Those are much more hardcore off road machines, different category. 21 inch front wheel, etc. But for touring on asphalt the Honda is much better.
Agreed 🫶

Himalayan 450 is around 4,00,000 rupees

they should add a bash-plate! who needs crash bars on a small easy to handle bike like this? are they just there to hold the aux lights?
Better than the transalp light,better on fuel,has tubeless tyres can easily do touring but then I own the CB500X for the past 4 years and love it
Does it still "vibe" at motorway speed?
Sweet looking little bike! I was always on the fence about the CB500x but now man...def!
Not a word about suspension, which is one of, if not the most, important things for an ADV bike.
Sounded like they only focused on the positives on this video, which doesn't bode well for the suspension. That's a shame because I'm quite interested in this bike
It's gonna be just OK like the cb500x.
It's more like a tourer that kinda looks like an ADV. More like an everyday motorcycle.

A shame that this is still a 200kg bike. One drawback from the excellent cb500x was the weight. This is a 500, it should be lighter, imo.

Cheddar Gorge.
Like it I'd say that adventure pack for 980 is a relative bargain
wish they had of included that better lcd screen on the 22, its my biggest gripe about my bike. makes it feel cheaper
quick shifter as an accessory and boom...the perfect bike!
Does it have a servicable suspension, or is it the absolute CB500X crap that you throw away after 20k? Is it made in Thailand?
