I jumped from cb650r 2020 to cb500x 2022. Holly cow, what amazing bike it is! No regrets of switching bikes! It's great fuel saving (3L of petrol) all-round bike! Since we have extremely big fines here now (Poland), Im really happy that it switched. I never imagined that 500cc bike is going that much fun. This Honda brings everything what motorcycle feel is. It's totally NOT a bike for just newbies. It just open Your mind to adventure with burgling and bang sounds.. I really love it sound, it's fucking loud bike! Guys drop Your man behaves and try that bike! Well made bike!
I've just rode today my CB500X 2022 from dealership to my home and I agree, I've switched from 250cc naked bike, but this Honda is just amazing and that sound even with Euro5 is great. I have unlimited driving license but I don't mind to ride A2 license bikes like this. Plus of course is fuel efficient. I'm glad I've chosen this over Yamaha Tracer 7.
@@marcelpursche5339 much better, the brakes have way more feel and bite but my biggest gripe was the old suspension. It was way too soft for my liking, especially for more sporty riding. The new forks are brilliant; stiff in de corners and the ride feels way more plush when riding on lower quality roads or bumps. It’s the upgrade it needed imo
Went to Peak District last summer with the CB500X and absolutely asked everything from that little engine uphill. There's no better feeling than twisting the trottle to the max and not having to worry about too much throttle or too little speed.
Owner of a 22 CB500X here. Former owner of many very fast and sporty bikes in my past. This bike puts all of them to shame in every meaningful category to real riders. Fun, agile, torquey and flexible engine, great fuel mileage/ range, good wind protection and it looks great. People who say it's another boring Honda.... I have to disagree with both halves of my brain.
so glad i see you riding this bike , remind me of your cb400 days , i am actually passing my test and this is the bike i am going to get (in green) thanks for showing this nice little ride
I love my 2017! But I will be changing to something else soon. Only really issues I have with it is that it is a cheaper bike so the stock suspension isn't that great and the 47HP and short gearing is not quite enough for me to do everything I want as a primary bike. I'd happily spend money on suspension upgrades if it had better power and gearing for higher speeds. Sustained 70+mph is not very fun but anything below 60mph the bike is fantastic. Great price and it is really agile and fun for what it is. I'd buy a bike with the size and feel of the 500x immediately if it had a bit more power (I use Givi hard side panniers as I ride it 6 days a week as primary transportation and it kills speed above 65mph) but unfortunately anything ADV is quite a bit bigger size wise and has spoked rims and 21" front wheel and loses the feel the 500x has. Wish another company would come out with something similar that has more power. I'd love to try out a 2022+ model (or NX500) for the brake and suspension upgrades and some engine tuning fixes. For your note at ~5:50. I tend to ride the bike the same way. It doesn't sound or feel that great really revving it out and getting into the peak power range. I usually shift below 6000rpm when accelerating and stay between 3.5-5k a lot and use the torque more. I have a lot more fun with it that way.
What a wonderful looking place to ride! And you took full advantage of it, from all appearances. I can't wait till my new 500X is broken in, then I can rev it out a bit. So far I'm only about 1/6 of the way to 300 miles. But in my defense, the weather has been awful here lately, not suitable for riding. Really looking forward to nice, sunny Spring days here in Western Pennsylvania. Thanks for posting a great video!
Der Schaaf ist einfach der Besste der holt auch aus einer 500 er dass letzte heraus mit einer sauberen Linie, macht wieder Laune selber auf die 500er zu sitzen.
I am 46. Never on the bike before. Picked my 2022 500x 2 weeks ago. Just put 400km on it. Never been so happy with bannana on my face the minute the engine starts.
@@heydejuju No it's just removing a small right-angle snorkel over the intake that quiets it down. I've found you get a little bump in the mid-range but slightly less responsive right at idle (ie. when taking off). Gives a more throaty intake sound.
Nice, as always. Gran Canaria looks very nice, I am considering going on an organized motorcycle tour there, but it’s pricey for two people. Will see. Have fun and nice weather.
Wow, was für Landschaft! Das sind so Strecken wo ich mich nicht entscheiden kann zwischen "Fahrspaß" und "Glotzen" beides zusammen provoziert ein Unglück...
Ohhh BONUS !!!! I do like me a good topbox 👍👍👍👍👍 I also liked that you kept the revs low (but then I am old and knackered). If I did not have my NC750X I would definitely consider the CB500X.
Nice Video, i love it! Thanks a lot Schaaf! My Wife wants to get this Bike as a Beginner-Bike. I guess she watched too much Videos of a Blonde from the Netherlands ;) I like Honda in general: quality long living Bikes with lots of innovations.
You display on the NC750x is more torquier than on this CB500x,may be I don't know if it's because we all were made to believe the NC750x was a dull machine and you actually proved us wrong.Great videos as always.
I just watched your video with Africa Twin, and then others where you talk after the accident and surgery. I hope you are completely healthy today and enjoy the carefree rides. My next bike is just one of the ones I watch on your channel, cb500x, africa twin dct and nc750x dct and the decision is really tough. Do you have any advice? Money does not play a role, I just don't want to buy the wrong motorcycle. One is not powerful enough, the other is maybe too high and heavy ... always something! haha
I'm doing quite OK, thanks!! When money is not an issue I'd go for the Africa Twin. It is - just like all Hondas - incredibly easy to ride and the weight is not an issue at all. Unless you plan to do hard Offroad.
@@creepermaster9043 I've read somewhere that the ninja pulls harder than the cbr and its a bit cheaper, but the 2022 cbr has better suspension and brakes and also has more power
This is the bike I want to test out at least once my A permit is completed later this year (125cc with a car permit for now only here...). Hope I am not too short for it, seen mixed opinions on this area, but the bike looks really nice!
hey thanks for the low-key video and beautiful country. I'm kind of a new rider and have a couple questions for you (I'm getting a '22 500X in about a month): About 30 times during this video you give a flick of your throttle wrist once or twice. I'm wondering what the reason for that is. Is it just the acoustics, because it definitely sounds nice. Do you think it works out the engine or any components a little bit quicker, though? Is there any reason to do it is what I guess I'm asking. You're using a phone app for navigation. I've been hearing that the vibrations, even with the dampeners that quad lock and other mounts have, can do damage. And besides, if you get a phone call or whatever it seems like it's just a hassle. Have you ever considered a dedicated GPS router, like the ZumoXT2, for example. Yes it is 500 bucks US but I'm just wondering why as a serious rider why you haven't moved to something like that… Thanks
Gran Canaria, riding there is something amazing. I know these curves. Unfortunately, I could rent maxi scooter only. Thanks for Honda's advocating, I consider it as an adventure bike far more than GS or Multistrada. Mid size universal bike
Thx for your first impressions 🙏🏻 Means a lot to me, cause YOU know the CB500F quite well. Sadly spoken, I’m 6.1, guess to tall for the F 🥴 Curious about a follow up, ride safe 👋🏻
I used the CB500F for my motorcycle course and it was not great ergonomically (I'm 6'3" / 220lbs). We put about 500km by the time the course was done, and my butt and lower back were not happy lol
@@Schaaf 👍🏻 … I will ! Interested in the Tiger Sport & the T7 too. But the 500X isn’t only a beginner bike, and worth the money anyway - have to ride it soon ✨👋🏻
Would you recommend the CB500X or the KTM 390 Adventure for 95% onroad riding, mostly riding on weekends and mostly for 1 day of riding(about 300-400 km a day)?
@@Schaaf You're absolutely right, sorry for my lack of precision. I wanted to know which one you would recommend for a beginner biker mainly for commuting and week end getaway in the mountains but with the possibility of longer travel from time to time. Thank you for taking the time to answer 😊
Great video! I used to have a CBR500R - great bikes in every way, except for the boring engine sound. Change the exhaust all your like, but there's no going away from the fact that 180 degree parallel twin will always sound bland.
Seems like it's a little "too" flickable like it's a little top heavy. Floats around a little much for me. I like the CB500F over the X I can tell from these videos, so thanks for that ;) I'm waiting on the rumor, CL500 Honda Scrambler < That's my bike , thanks again for the great POV test ride ;)
I love when your videos drop. Even if it's a bike that I don't care about I still watch. Would love to see you do a Moto Guzzi V7. I'm having a hard time deciding between that and a Street Twin as my next commuter bike. I'm leaning V7 mostly due to it being a 6 speed. I'll definitely be putting some highway miles on it.
I have never ridden the street twin but im a happy owner of Moto Guzzi V7 II who has ridden over 30 000 km al over Europe and i can only recommend it. You can do easy 4 to 500 km on a day, its also good for highway riding (of course its not a BMW GS), and you have enough power to be faster than most cars at normal speeds.
i'd choose the street twin, or even better the speed twin, totally amazing machine even schaaf would be happy riding it. currently driving a cbf500(2005)
Hi Clayton! I've had a Street Twin for a year now. I commute frequently on it and I've done a couple of weekend trips. I've done 5000 km so far. I had a short experience with a friend's V7 III for a couple of days. To me they felt very different in ergonomics and character. The ST more planted and better performer, better brakes, amazing torque. However I can't compare to the new model with the 850 cc engine. I have the medium sized OEM screen, which is enough to deflect air from the chest and have clear flow on the helmet, and OEM heated grips (neat design and toasty hot). The seat is on the hard side but roomy for two. The tank is just 12 liters but it's quite frugal for a 900 cc (3.8 L/100 km on average for legal speeds). I downsized from a big ADV, wanted something different, I was totally sure 5 minutes into the test ride. Just ask if you want to know anything else, but you won't go wrong with either, both are beauties. Cheers
did Honda improve accelerator on-off effect? i mean, its smooth enought from closed to slightly open? i ask because that's the issues of my cb300r and my local Honda dealer didnt have any cb500 for a test ride

I love when your videos drop. Even if it's a bike that I don't care about I still watch. Would love to see you do a Moto Guzzi V7. I'm having a hard time deciding between that and a Street Twin as my next commuter bike. I'm leaning V7 mostly due to it being a 6 speed. I'll definitely be putting some highway miles on it.
I unfortunately can't help you since I haven't ridden those. But I'd probably go for the guzzi as well because its engine has more character
I have never ridden the street twin but im a happy owner of Moto Guzzi V7 II who has ridden over 30 000 km al over Europe and i can only recommend it. You can do easy 4 to 500 km on a day, its also good for highway riding (of course its not a BMW GS), and you have enough power to be faster than most cars at normal speeds.
i'd choose the street twin, or even better the speed twin, totally amazing machine even schaaf would be happy riding it. currently driving a cbf500(2005)
Hi Clayton! I've had a Street Twin for a year now. I commute frequently on it and I've done a couple of weekend trips. I've done 5000 km so far. I had a short experience with a friend's V7 III for a couple of days. To me they felt very different in ergonomics and character. The ST more planted and better performer, better brakes, amazing torque. However I can't compare to the new model with the 850 cc engine.
I have the medium sized OEM screen, which is enough to deflect air from the chest and have clear flow on the helmet, and OEM heated grips (neat design and toasty hot). The seat is on the hard side but roomy for two. The tank is just 12 liters but it's quite frugal for a 900 cc (3.8 L/100 km on average for legal speeds). I downsized from a big ADV, wanted something different, I was totally sure 5 minutes into the test ride. Just ask if you want to know anything else, but you won't go wrong with either, both are beauties. Cheers
Hey brother, how do you feel handling/cornering compared between cb500x and yam tracer 700? Would appreciate your opinion🤔
The Honda is quite a lot less agile
Entre la cb500x y la nc750 adt, cual preferiría para carretera, ciudad y el uso diario?
Hello, what exhaust you wear on this cb500x 2022
Such a great bike , but too pricey here in India. Love your vids
thanks
is it mph or kmhr . do you feel any vibes around redline . BTW what is the redline rpm
Kmh and yes quite strong vibrations in the higher rpms
Ist das originale auspuff oder nachgerüstet?
When you are upshifting, you are not using the clutch?
Does it look like I'm using the clutch?
@@Schaaf No, thats why i asked. I've got mine a few weeks ago, did't know you can do that with it.
did Honda improve accelerator on-off effect? i mean, its smooth enought from closed to slightly open? i ask because that's the issues of my cb300r and my local Honda dealer didnt have any cb500 for a test ride
They rolled ecu update to smoothen it out on cb300r in india. Check ur country has it.
@@rv6569i sold my cb300r and got a nx500
@@rv6569 btw i bought nx500 in the meanwhile, little on-off actualy
How do you feel this bike ( and overall) vs Yamaha tracer 700? There are great bikes.
It's a lot slower and a bit less agile but way more stable and better suspension
@@Schaaf More stable because the cheap suspension in Yamaha? I tras Many people is upgrading this
