2023 Honda SCL500 Scrambler review Part 1

[@paracog]

I'm about to turn 78 and don't drive any more, had a 305 Scrambler in the 60s, and if I could drop 20 years I'd have this bike. My heart went out to it as soon as I saw it. I don't envy today's youth for much, but this.....

Ive been watching your videos, since you have the KPM 200. I used to own the Lifan KP 200. The naked version of the KPM. Now I have a Honda Rebel 500. And the Lifan KPV 150 scooter, for everyday commuting to work. And I use the Rebel 500 for leisure riding on weekends.

Hey Keith, I came across your videos last week. I live in Apalachin, I recognized the roads from our rides to Americade up rt.8. I would love to see the bike in person sometime , thinking of downsizing from my harley Deluxe.

[@dualsportjourney]

Thank you for stopping by and for the comment! Rt-8 is a great road to ride through north to the Adirondacks!

[@DogMania]

Love your review! This is a compelling new scrambler with Honda Reliability…. Do you still have the KPM 200 and will we see more KPM content? Keep up the great work!

[@dualsportjourney]

Thank you for stopping by and for the comment! I do not still have the KPM200, but I do miss it! As much as I would love to keep them all, I have limits.

I just bought this bike in green as a second bike! Picking it up in the morning. I cant wait. lol

[@dualsportjourney]

Congratulations!

[@RatedRob]

@dualsportjourney I love it. It's such a great bike thank you!

[@dene1196]

How much is it?

[@dualsportjourney]

MSRP is $6,799 on these, which I think is a great value due to its versatility and everything else considered.

[@censored4christ162]

Problem is buying new is such a scam.

[@tmmurphy]

I was sold until you said it didn't have a tach. After living through the 80's with cars with no engine info except idiot lights, I swore I would never buy another vehicle (especially a manual trans) without at least a tach.

[@deaczorz]

dude your talking about getting used to stuff, that goes for everything.

[@censored4christ162]

People oooh and aaah at this bike because we are poor

[@deaczorz]

@@censored4christ162 when i test drove this i also tried the new hornet 750, i liked the cl500 better :|

[@thedanrobergeexperience7881]

The sound is terrible

[@dualsportjourney]

I agree 100%! I will be working on that going forward. Thank you for stopping by and for your input!

[@carlgoogle2869]

I want

[@censored4christ162]

I think the grom needs a rebel 300 engine crammed under it. For some.reason i just think we need to put cruise control on more bikes. I basically have to step up all tbe way to an mt09sp to get cruize control

[@carlgoogle2869]

I'm selling my Harley to buy this

[@dualsportjourney]

You won't regret it. So fun to ride, ease of maintenance, low overall cost to ride and maintain, will go just about anywhere, and a sore face from grinning on your helmet all the time! 😜

@@dualsportjourney my first bike was a Honda Rebel but I've been riding a 95 Wide glide for 5 years. Harleys are overrated prone to repairs,upkeep and breakdowns,and suck gas like pigs. I call it a couch on wheels. I love Honda. Both cars and bikes. Plus, I wanna be able to do a little dirt.

@@dualsportjourney I just got rid of my 99 Honda Accord. It had three hundred thirty thousand miles. I beat the living 💩 out of it doing doordash

[@dualsportjourney]

@@carlgoogle2869 😯wow, that's alot of miles!

@@carlgoogle2869 without singling out any group of riders... some people are more concerned with status projection and less about the ride.
