Thank you for the ride. Had to give up my passion of riding to a 4 year battle with cancer. Sure enjoyed this video.

I took a rental CB 500 X up that same road the summer of 23. It’s a heck of a ride.

I have always had a problem with really cleaning a bike. There are so many nooks and crannies and I tend to be a perfectionist so I get stuck in the details. It either takes way too long or i quit in frustration.

I like mine a lot, it's a 23 with a bunch of off-road add-ons (SW Motech bash plate, crash bars, top box, pannier racks, Barkbusters). With the right tyres it's way more capable off-road that the people buying it. If you can get the most out of a T7 or Africa Twin, then it's not for you, but many people with T7s and Africa Twins would be just fine with a CB500X...

I just put Perrelli Angel on my bike and love them.

Thanks for the video, I just replace my tires with the Roadsmart GT4 ....I have a 2006 model ....Tell me if you like her.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4fHnIKooch5qcksi=iU2-Batv-LetPIgl

what brand and model is that wind screen?

If the upper tank is kept empty, that is going to severely corrode

Thanks for this, waiting to pickup mine later this month. Just wished I could see the digital display during the video. Cheers.

How do we know you're only occasionally evil ?

Hey, I've seen 2 or 3 post about the Shinko's get to wobble a lot?

amazing

In your case it is the 8th, in my case is the first ever and I really love it. So happy about this purchase of mine. Completed it with central stand, crash bar and handguards all original.

Just rode a CB 500x on the Mae Hong Son loop in Thailand. It’s a reliable, economical machine but it drives like a small truck which took away a lot of the motorcycle fun on those 2000 plus curves. A big top box and 10kg of luggage made it feel very ungainly and prone to squirrel on the slightest bump. I longed for my old XL600.

Greetings, As always another fantastic video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos about the CB 500 x

What a lovely road!

I have exactly the same bike, same year. Love it. What kind of bag is that on the back? Good size. I don't like large top boxes.

I have a new 2022 cb500x and I love it. It would be hard to say how many people have complimented me on its looks . I am enjoying it!

This game seems really unpolished

Sorry for the question...but how old are You?

Thanks. I am considering one of the Honda 500cc variants as I am finding my modern Triumph Bonneville heavy at age 77. Thanks for a short video - most are WAY too long.

Nah ..

I had one new in 2014 and loved it, I sold it after a couple of years to get get something with more power. Next week I take delivery of my second brand new 2023 CB500x - like you, it was the best bike I had ever owned. I would always rather ride a slower bike fast than a fast bike slow. Great seat and riding position and the new upgrades over the past few years have made it the perfect bike for me.

How would you lower the pegs?

Been running verge 016s on my vfr for a few years now and they are really good compared to the pilot road 2s that i used to run on it.

Great video, gorgeous landscape...

Does it come with a baffle?

This exhaust sounds amazing, doesn't it?

Such awesome views in very moody/smoky light. Must have been in the early part of the day eh. The CS exhaust sounds great. Are you catching the modification bug yet? Ride safe. I went down on my CRF yesterday. Recovering now. Tire choice is a big deal especially when you get it wrong.

How is this bike with getting pushed around on the highway? (wind etc.)

I changed my plugs at 80,000ks The new plugs made no difference to the running of the engine. As for fuel consumption, I've had 572ks from full tank. When I went to fill it, it only took 27ltrs. So there was still about 2 litres left before empty.

I got this model , its overhyped.

Roadsmart GTS or what I have on my ST1300 great so far I have over 12,000 miles and I'm two trips to and from North Carolina to Arizona. And as far as the crossed it's just part of the Peace of mind. You pay for what you get. When you pay for cheap tires cheap tires or what you get

I have to agree! I have a '22 500X that is my 7th bike. I began riding in the '70s, offroad for about 4 yrs before I ever did any onroad riding. (and believe me, that's the way to do it if you can!) I have two bikes now, the other being a '20 WR250R. I love the WR also, it's a great bike in its own right. I agree, the seat of the 500X is very comfortable. However, I feel the seating position cramps the legs a bit, which causes me some hip pain after an hour. A short break from the bike fixes that. In contrast, my legs can stretch out when I'm on the WR, as its seat position is much higher and the riding position is not cramped at all. Then again, it has about a foot of suspension travel so there you go. Anyhow, the 500X is fantastic overall. I'm 59 yrs now and don't ever expect to get rid of it. Btw I see you took the stock wind screen off. I replaced mine with a "Sport" model from WRS and like it a lot. It gives only minimal protection, but some is better than none, and it looks great. Safe riding!

I also began to ride bikes back in 2008 I am on my second one, had a GS 500 and now a 650 Bandit.

I picked up my 2023 10 days ago. I mostly compare it to my Versys 650. Versys was tall and VERY top heavy. Slow speed maneuvers were difficult. The bike wanted to tip over...fast. The 500X seems much more balanced and it's easier to control. That moment where you're stopping and you put your foot down, the Versys could be hard to control. The 500X is much better. (same goes for lateral control at a complete stop) Shifter on the 500X is much better. I didn't like the Kawi-Clunk. It always felt like it was breaking.

How do you bleed brakes and clutch without removing the fairings? It's a pain but it should be done every 2 or 3 years

I really like Shinko tires they grip very well and have 3 bikes now, without counting a 50cc scooter, and my tires get old before worn out .
