Love my '22 CB500X. Perfect for my commute. Just changed the chain and sprockets and put new tires on. Went with Pirelli Scorpion Trail II's, and what a great upgrade. Feels better than new.

Great video. You are so right about the mind-set for smaller capacity bikes. I have the Honda Rebel 500 and tour on it too. Recently in Scotland, and making plans to go to Europe (Spain) as well. Just means getting the set up right. Comfy seat, good waterproof luggage and gear!

The rebel should be great for that. My girlfriend and I went on a three week camping trip from Denmark to Monaco on my Suzuki GT550 in 1979. No problems except halfway carburetor adjustments and a high speed front wheel puncture on the Autoroute on our way back. 500 cm³ is more than sufficient for touring. Enjoy your trip to Spain!

1st stop when it doesn't start like that is the battery terminals. I had the same problem going up the bumpy Hardknott Pass, the bike stuttered and stopped. Got it going again and got home, and it was just a loose terminal. As for the seat, I had a local upholsterer to just scallop a bit of foam out making the seat more level instead of the slight forward slope. It changed the bike immeasurably, even made the handling better, lowering the centre of gravity.

Looking for a replacement to my CB500X, as it got nicked earlier this month. Was looking at the 22-23 model CB, but i'm kinda coming round to the NX, despite the new styling. Lot of benefits to help me overlook the new front end.

It's funny. Booking a service in the middle of winter is never a problem. 🤔 The hot grips are great. It's always strange how they can be so much better than a lot of the standard manufacturers items. Love the fuel economy. 👍

Another great review/vlog. Bought the CBR500R (24 Plate), 560 miles in and 1st service due, currently 76mpg aswell. After a Hornet 750, I've found this to be a great bike, proof that 47hp can be very rewarding and a lot of fun!!

Only 76mpg, it'll get better than that! My 500x and 500f usually do 94 on b roads. It's does better mpg if I spin it up hard. I really loved the mix tours for all year round riding 72 miles a day. Problems... my f broke down at 310 miles with a failed eng temperature sensor. 😮

I've had my CB500F for about 10 months now and I love it It , least powerful bike I've owned since the 1990's and I can't believe how light and responsive the thing is. It's not fantastic on dual carriageways but I avoid those anyway and am lucky enough to mostly be able to do so and these days if you speed you're going to get caught sometime,.somehow. The days when there were no speed cameras and I could blast down the A38 at 110 on my Fazer down the outside lane for mile after mile are long gone ;-)

Oh! So you bought one! I’m glad. In my case I think I’ll go with Black Widow exhaust, my friends have the older CB500X, basically the same as the NX as you well know, and they sound awesome. And they’re quite a bargain. I did have a look at the Fuel like you’re having but it’ll come quite expensive for me since I’m not living in the UK. I haven’t got my NX yet, but I’ve already got a radiator cover for it. Mine is ordered with some extras like the extra lights, crash bars and heated grips. I’m adding a CarPlay unit which I’ve already have and contrary to you will be changing the tires to more road oriented ones as I don’t go off-road. I’m most probably going for the Michelin Power 6, a bit overkill I know but there’s not much with that 19” front.

I feel your pain, I bought the 500 Hornet from P&H and booked the running in service when I picked it up as I do 600 miles commuting in 3 weeks. I liked the NX, when I test rode it I preferred the Hornet though I had to convince myself it was a better for my use case, especially after the V Strom I had previously which put me off tall adventure type bikes (I also got a lot of buffering on the NX and am only 5' 7") Have put handguards on mine, a fender extender at the front (the Hornet mudguard is ridiculously short at the front) and a hugger at the back, plus crash bungs from Powerbronze. Proper commuter now, just need to put a 16T front sprocket on to improve the MPG a bit.

I found the Mixtour tyres excellent on the road. I’m currently trying Anakee Adventures which are also good. After two and a half years of riding and moto camping touring I have decided that I don’t need anything more off-road on the 500X. It manages all the off-road I actually do on it on the Mixtours and Anakee Adventures. For more extreme off-road I use my Voge 300 Rally anyway. It’s a great long distance touring bike. Mine has never been on a motorway, there are always better routes.

Hey Mr Fish. Great choice with the NX, I’m looking forward to watching your adventures. I’ve just bought a pair of rackless soft panniers, each hold 26L, and what they call a pannier bag, which goes on the rear rack or back seat, which is another 30L, from a brand called Rhinowalk. It’s also modular so you can add extra if needed. Great value for money, look like they’ll take a beating, and I’m currently watching an Aussie guy on KZbin called Joe Ryan who uses this luggage brand on his tour of New Zealand, mostly off road, on a RE Scram 411. Hope that helps!

Loving my 2022 CB500X, but thinking of an NX, maybe next year. The 500X is a great bike, so no grounds for complaint other than that the screen is hard t read and I would prefer one that can be controlled with switches from the handlebars. I use the stock luggage, and they're just fine for my purposes (alternate them with soft bags on occassion). I also have the SW Motech tank bag in place - works fantastic with the tank ring. I've been using a wind deflector since day 1 (brought over from my previous bike), and frankly wind buffeting is not an issue at all.

You fuel consumption surprised me. In May I bought a used SV650. During the first 8000 km it gave me 28.9 km/l. Including a two week camping trip from Denmark to Harz. Maybe you are a more aggresive rider? I've been riding motorcycles since 1974. I see 500 cm³ motorcycles as medium capacity. They are more than sufficient for what I want to do: Day trips, weekend rides and long summer camping trips to the south of Europe.

I currently have a 2022 ATAS and when it was in for its big service I got a Nx 500 as a loaner. I couldn't go from my ATAS to a NX500, to much of a down grade for me.

Different grade 😂 … if I didn’t have the 250 rally i would be more inclined to keep the twin

Hi Again, I'm thinking about getting rid of my 2018 CRF1000L Africa Twin, and replacing it with a XL750A Transalp, do you think that sound's like a sensible idea? I'm 68 years of age so I need to start riding a lighter and more manageable bike, but still do some adventure touring. I can get a cracking deal at the moment at my local Honda dealer, and have every conceivable extra thrown at it...😳👍

Can you please tell me what model # of Barkbusters handguard mounting kit ( the metal part of the Barkbuster kit) you have on your bike? I see people saying the CB500X 2019+ kit or the 2023 Transalp kits work on this bike, I just don't want to make that gamble and get the wrong ones.

Great video! Btw, how are the ergonomics for a tall guy? You are 6'2 how do you fit on it, what's your knees angle ? I am 6'4 and ergonomics are a big issue for me especially on mid size japanease bikes. Given that I started considering maxi scooters, they are roomy and comfy. But maybe the NX will be something suitable. Cheers!

It was designed specifically for BMW GS riders after the Long Way Around. The idea was that the peak would catch the wind, lifting the rider's head up so they could look down their noses at other riders(!)

Honda has come out with their sport variant Africa twin with the 19 inch front wheel. A little less of a beast. Was that an option for you before you bought the 500? Cruise control is kind of a big deal if you’re touring.
