I have a 2011, surprized at how bad the buffeting was on the helmet. Tried the height adjustments on the wind screen, didn't help! Removed the wind screen all together and that solved the problem! Cheers! 😁

Those are big internal weights... how is handlebar vibration with the weights off and the handguards on?

Nice, but still very expensive here in Australia. I'm going to probably get the WildHeart 2x18L panniers, similar to the Rhinowalk ones but better quality.

Crashing hurts our pride more than our bike. As long as you are ok that's the main thing, and we all learn from mistakes! Your fall, the speed and impact were very similar to my recent fall! All the best to you!

Unlucky but hey, stuff happens. I've ridden 8000km with my CB500X and it's my first bike. I've dropped it a few times, but only once with forward momentum (You can see it on my channel it's pretty funny actually) - but luckily I only had some minor scratches. One time a taxi driver caused me to fall of my bike while stopped and I bent my rear break. Similarly to your shifter - I had to get a pipe around it and pull it back out without twisting it. Other than that I've not had any reliability issues whatsoever. Anyway, all the best, I see you dont post much anymore, I hope all is well. Cheers

I hate the stock tyres. After falling off in some slippery tracks I realised how bad they actually are. They can handle gravel, but not too fast when cornering. I've just ordered a set of MotoZ Adventure/Dual Venture tyres and believe I will have much more confidence riding off road with those. We seem to have similar experiences though. I'm just a new rider though I'm 53 and have no bash plate yet, but will soon. Then some lower crash bars at least. My plan is to go on some camping adventures here in Western Australia where we have plenty of rugged terrain :) I've enjoyed watching you and have subscribed, perhaps you will return the favour? :D My KZbin is just beginning and I only have 56 subscribers lol. Oh and picking up the bike - far easier to turn around, and use your legs to push with your back to the bike :D

Very nice why Honda make this so annoying is bad well it is for the viberation reduction they made it so yes hehe i installed only a handgouard the Honda one who you not need to remove this because of this issue i guess i can install some real handguards soon then!

Thanks for the review.

Thanks and very nice explanation.

You've saved me so much time, I appreciate it, thank you!

Pozdrav, imam novu hondu nx 500 i prednja vilica mi se čini skroz ok nisam primjetio probleme koje si ti naveo možda je to poboljšanje sa upside down vilicom. ostalo sam i ja primjetio nije za velike brzine nit po autoputu nit po težem makadamu iako se po kamenoj cesti ponaša čisto ok. Nemogućnost isključivanja absa jest limit iako u samoj umjerenoj vožnji po šumi i makadamu nisam to osjetio kao problem. Prije sam imao stroma 1000 i osjeti se razlika u vožni s dvoje. Ipak je honda skučeniji motocikl. Sve pohvale za analize hondinih performansi. Samo tako dalje

ma ide ona i po terenu, makadamu šumskim putevima bez pronlema.... provjereno sa nx 500.Par vožnji i kad se opustiš ide off ko koza. Kad je rocky samo po plinu.

Svaka čast. Duže vrijeme tražim po stranim you tube kanalima i nigdje nema ovakve reportažice i detaljnog opisa vožnje u dvoje s prtljagom za ovaj motor. Samo naprijed s pametnim stvarima i objavama

Great material. Does this effect of bouncing in cornering also exist when you ride a motorcycle alone?

Ehhh da sam ranije našao ovaj video. Išao sam istom rutom kao i ti od sjevera prema jugu ali sam izgubio guzicu negdje na putu. Mogu samo reća da F serija isto može izgurati put od 8sati ali treba isto tako 8 puta stati i malo se rastegnuti te odmoriti guzicu 😁. Istina to mi je bilo prvo duže putovanje na motoru pa nisam baš znao šta mogu očekivati i kako se pripremiti. No sve je to zanemarivo kad ideš lagano i uživaš u ljepotama Hrvatske.

Super video a i super motor. CB500X? Nov sam u svijetu motora pa ako smijem pitat: Kakve i koje torbe tj. kofere na zadnjem sjedalu koristiš? Mogu li poslužiti i na CB500F? Koliko vidim CB500F i X su skoro pa indetični. Kakvim ti se čini GIVI S920 mount? (Vidim da si ga koristio) Imam priliku uzeti GIVI s920 mount pa me zanima tvoje iskustvo.

I have a 2023 model. The only real complaint (or something I would change) is 6th gear....it's too short. At about 115 kph, the engine is screaming at about 6000 rpm. And while it may be able to keep that going all day, it just seems too high. Honda should have just made 6th gear taller. Get the rpms down to about 4500-5000.

Maybe I missed thism. Did you max-out the pre-load for the trip?

Bicicleta fantástica

Parabéns Guerreiros...🫡Saudações do Brasil... Eu também tenho uma Cb500x e adoro andar.. Se inscrevam no meu canal do KZbin viva na cb. Abraço e bons ventos

I rode 30.000km from Scotland to Mongolia and back through the Stan's. Zero issues, tackled everything Mongolia could throw at me. Not one mechanical issue. I am going to be riding from Australia to Scotland next year and I will be taking the V-Strom. It's a great bike for touring in wild places

A great riding bike up 100 kph .. a dog at my 5000 ft altitude

Agree totally .. at 5000 feet above sea level lose 18% so max gps only 137! Ok at sea level i think

How is the Givi windshield after all this time? Do you like it?

It won't change colour, it might seem like lesser quality but it sure isn't, by all accounts.

Completely nonsense...

The CB500x is a comfortable and capable motorcycle. Thank You for sharing the beautiful scenery with us.

wich go pro mount are u using?

2004 650 non-ABS Vstrom owner here to dispell some of this nonsense. Well...yea the brakes are not Brembo, however, mine doesn't have ABS so they can lock up pretty damn fast if you want. So it's not the brakes it's the rider. Remember you're riding 2-up with heavy panniers on a relatively heavy bike 220kg wet without passengers and bags. Adapt your speed to the driving conditions...the brakes are fine enough. Trust me...they do lock up pretty darn fast ask me how I know. 2nd- the wind, yes the original windscreen is limited, and a bigger screen would limit wind hitting your face. However no airflow means no cooling. Were you wearing earplugs? 3rd Handguards. I have been riding my 2004 in code orange rainfall doing 100km/h with a taller windscreen and the stock handguards the only part of my body to get wet were my legs. Seriously if you're complaining about wind hitting your arms...motorcycling is NOT for you. Try riding a naked...and you'll have some wind to complain about. 4th. Stability riding 2 up with bags. Have you adjusted your suspension preload? Experience tells me you had im propper preload adjustments for riding 2up with bags. It's a top heavy bike with alot of plastics to catch the wind, if you don't adjust your preload the front is going to float especially with extra weight on the back. 5th vibrations and original seat. Well it's a V2-90° cylinder engine...and for a V2-90° cylinder engine it's pretty damn smooth. Again...stick to cars or get a Goldwing...which is basically a car on 2 wheels. Seat too hard on your butt after 2 hours of driving? Even a comfortable reclining chair gets unfomfortable after 2 hours...ever been on a 2 hour + flight? Anyway you're supposed to stop every 2 hours for safety reasons. Truck drivers have to stop every 2 hours by law.

hi my honda cbx is 2014 modèl do you think these Voigt raisers will fit ? i am afraid because these parts are expensive thank you

The stupidest review I ever seen LOL guy complains about upside down of its smartphone screen. ROTFL

Do you remember what tire pressure you had? Did you increase it for the two person ride? Thanks

still enjoying the GSA? I have a 1250 GS and looking to swap for a new GSA. Tried the 1300GS but not sure really?

bravo , od gusta pogledao

you want to pop up wheelies just with the engine power? yes is underpowered for this you want to ride without the fear of constant speed tickets? then is fine

Good job, Thank You.

aerodynamics with adventure panniers......???

Thank you for a fantastic review with your pillion passenger. You covered many things about the CB500X that I wanted to know. You have helped me decide to aim for the 2024 Honda NC500X (former 2023 CB500X). Best wishes 👍👍

Didn’t work I was there for an hour 😂

I love this view, my mother I from Opuzen but she come to Austria about 1969. We have family in Opuzen. Summer 2024 I will go to Opuzen Again.

These are not Adventure bikes....

Quad Lock is alright, but all these phone mount companies are asleep at the wheel, same for the Bluetooth headset/communicator companies. They must try to keep selling without enhancing or improving. I didn’t want to buy a Quad Lock, because I wanted a system I could mount which would have a magnet lock in like my SW-Motech tank bag but for the phone, wireless charging, 360 dual ball flexibility, and could mount to my 12mm navigation bar. None of them have an option. You either need to come c,OSW with Quad Lock or Peak Designs. I prefer Peak Designs, but the lack of wireless charging in this day and age is amateur hour and forced me to discount them and go with the less well-designed Quad Lock.

Can’t wait to get mine, January 2024

Stay safe. I have a CB500X but haven’t had it off road yet.

Looked prepped to me.

Thanks for sharing. Seems you have found the best solution for 5'10 - 6'0 rider. Comparing the WRS to the stock at high setting was brilliant. Just a small increase with improved width. Great review. Ordered one.

Just get standard givi, if someone wants it bad they will take the whole bike

I purchased a 2017 model new. I have done 53,000 km I agree brakes are poor, in fact I took it to the dealer and asked them to fit softer brake pads. Did not make an ounce of difference. I also agree about the windscreen, it is almost useless. I purchased a Givi air flow screen. It is brilliant. I don’t agree about vibrations. I have no vibrations and never have. I suspect your wheels need balancing. Stability has never been an issue on my bike at any speed. It’s as steady as a rock, very confidence inspiring. As for the stock seat, that is very subjective. Many people say it’s the most comfortable seat they have ever had. I have purchased a Air Hawk to put on my seat. It has made a huge difference to my comfort.

Hi, thanks for the review i just bought a cb500x and im thinking of doing the same setup with the damper, can you mount the phone vertically or just horizontally?

now im thinking guga foods 😂
