HONDA NX500 Honest OWNERSHIP REVIEW - Buy or NOT Buy

[@LowQualityPigeon]

People do not understand how much importance weight management holds in a motorcycle. And I think Honda is doing very good in this field for all their bikes. I rode my friends CB350 and it is way way easier to ride compared to my classic 350. I kinda started regretting my decision to own RE after I rode that bike. Just this weight management can completely change the character of the bike and I agree with Bulu bhaiya on the points he discussed in his video.

[@BuluBiker]

Yes sir weight management is the actual engineering in Bikes, for example is the Goldwing, its 430kgs but while riding feels like a small bike to ride

[@suryateja2k11]

Yes that's the reason I stopped considering meteor 350. Going with CB350 highness

[@imoimo772]

But don't you feel it should have more low end torque , I was frustrated to know that you can't ride on low speed on higher gears like RE bikes . I can easily ride on 40-50s on 6th gear on int650

[@unnikrishnannambiar3904]

It's interceptor, you can't do that on a 350 Cc RE

[@imoimo772]

@@unnikrishnannambiar3904 you can , try it on Classic 350 . 40KMPH on top gear is easily possible .

[@giridhars4821]

Very happy that a KZbinr is finally talking about the importance of weight management because it is the most important quality dealt with on a daily basis. I am happy that you put a great emphasis on practicality rather than many useless factors as done by instagrammers(not riders). You are a true rider. I am tired of telling people that RE bikes simply put unnecessary strain in handling the bike when the engine is cut-off.

[@BuluBiker]

I think a lot of people still feel that more metal in a bike makes it better n stronger, they don't understand practicality

[@individualofuniverse9110]

RE Himalayan sounds good for less price but wherever i go, the review of RE bikes are generally average or bad & Honda is well appreciated across the globe.

​After owning gt and classic 500 for years, recently upgraded to interceptor and H'ness,,,,I can surely confirm that RE is no where in comparison with Legends like Honda... RE is just another piece of iron with stupid emotion and chunk of problems every now and then with mediocre service experience.... Honda has good research wing that puts lots of expertise which reflects in the bikes out.... Just don't teach me about RE.... Looking forward to sell of interceptor and go for transalp... Money is always not a deciding factor when feeling is priority...​@@S-R-D7

[@chanduandfriends]

Bulu bhai's reviews are always honest, to the point and reliable 👏

[@muttineni03]

I don't know if you tried Transalp 750, it was very lightweight too with enough power for luggage and pillion. i honestly think if one has budget and needs powerful lightweight adv then that's the one. beautiful bike. New to your channel and really enjoyed how well you explained every small detail you explained and how you explained it, such small things matter when buying such kinda expensive bikes. probably best review on nx500 imo. but I think twin cylinder has very different feel compared to single cylinder some might disagree but I strongly believe that.

Bulu Bhai, I was influenced by you for interceptor and I love interceptor. What do you suggest from upgrading from interceptor to this machine? Should I wait for vstrom 800 or ktm 890?

[@gurjitsingh1926]

@bulubiker do you still have NX500? Have you faced any heating issues till now? Also how is the Suspension performance at higher speeds like 110, 120Kmph? Have read some reviews that at higher speeds suspension does not give that confidence. Im planning to buy one but after your feedback on these points. Im thinking of buying a 2nd hand NX500

Bulu bhai u are such a great motovlogger because u show the most important thing of a bike i.e practicality. U highlight the best things that a rider will focus on. Love ur work❤.

@Bulu Bhai, did you face stiffness in the front suspension and any issues while leaning the bike on a curve road? What after Market accessories available for the bike?

[@bikerspiritabi]

One of the negative I noticed on the bike is. Short handle bar length. Really I can’t believe why such small handle bar. The exhaust note is super awesome.

Thank you so much brother for understanding, when others feel I am trying to defame Royal enfield when I talk about weight management🤦‍♂️ People do not understand quality in motorcycles.

[@kilovictor777]

Bulu whoever says that doesn’t know what he is talking, you are not trying to defame Royal Enfield but indirectly pushing them to raise their game more to be able to compete with international bikes like Honda, I still have my 1990 500cc Royal Enfield with me and am a total RE loyalist, RE has definitely come a long way from our college days but still has lots to do to be able to come up to the standards of bikes like Honda or Kawasaki. You are doing them a favour if you ask me, not many with RE will have the guts to tell them the truth 😊👍 Be frank, be bold, be loyal to your viewers and we shall keep loving you and your content always, like they say- Bash on Regardless. 😎👍

[@BuluBiker]

Absolutely thats what I try to convince, not every motorcycle is the same for everyone, purely based on need n budget, every bike has its plus n minus

[@rdaroga]

This feels closer in size and feel to the ADV 390 than the Himalayan. All other flaws aside, the Himalayan feels a lot more substantial to ride. After seeing the NX, it made me want the Transalp even more. Save up for a few more years and go directly for the Transalp. That's a more complete motorcycle and reasonably priced amongst its competition.

[@nigeldsouza5239]

Bulu I rode the previous model & was getting a lot of wind buffeting at speeds above 125 km/hr my height is 5ft11 in or 178 cm. Can you please comment on this topic please. I was using the Schuberth C4 pro ⛑️ so I did have a good aerodynamic helmet. This is only thing that has kept me from buying this bike. I need a bike that can I can cruise at 130 /140 km /hr for 100 + km in a stretch. The other option is CB650R but that does not have luggage carrying possibilities like the NX & more sporty riding position & more expensive to buy maintain, heavier etc. I have not yet tried the 750 NC which i think will also be a good option for my needs. Thanking You 🙏

Hello @bullubiker sir, I want to upgrade from the xpulse 200, and I am confused between nx500 and vstrom800de. I know they both are very different bike genres but I need a bike which does it all onroad, offroad city etc everything for a very long time. I like the nx500 but I don't want ki after 3 years i get bored and feel like upgrading again so shall i buy the nx500 or stretch a lot and buy the vstorm 800 de?

[@krishnateja7728]

Have you finalised the bike?

[@sarthaktuteja3866]

@krishnateja7728 Yes, nx500 due to its light weight. I really wanted the v strom, but it's too expensive for me now and even weights more. I know a few years down the line, I will find nx500 less powerful, but then I will upgrade to inline 4 :p

[@saswatsnayak102030]

Considering our road conditions especially during monsoon, you're far safer on an adventure bike especially on long rides with a pillion. You don't have to worry about potholes, crazy road humps and rough patches of roads. Even during minor floods you're safe. These bikes only have weight disadvantage but Honda has solved this issue. Ye Gaadi actually best bike hai hamare country ke roads ke liye. I just wish it was below 6 lacs.

[@rajendragangurde4577]

You'll be shifting to a completely new category of bikes, which is an ADV. You might want to try riding a similar bike like a KTM 390. Because the height, the weight balance, power delivery is completely different that the 350rs.

This was a good ownership review albeit not very detailed. A few questions.. How is the spare parts availability? Is it still as bad as it was with the Cb500x? I don't think getting a bash plate for this is easy. And since it is a CBU, in case any parts need replacement in guessing we'll need to wait for a long time. Like you rightly said.. NX500 is a small, big bike. Whereas the 450 and 390 are big, small bikes. You made a good point. Bulu sir, it'd help more if you could share the service and maintenance side of things as well.

[@arvindk5559]

Bullu bhai I have not owned a bike in 30 years and have lived abroad. But rented a moto cross whenever I was traveling to far eastern countries. Love the off road and trails but never hard core. Did the Leh circuit on himmy 411 and I loved the ride. Now living permanently in india I want to buy just one bike to do adventure and also long rides am not so young at 60 but can outride a 30 year old for a fun ride. I had confidence issues in himmy when I did solo like parking retrieval and in very slow speed in trail the bike did not balance well. I never fell but was challenging. So I thought maybe it’s me who can’t handle the balance in trails in himmy. Now I see it’s possible to overcome with a better engineered bike. So what do I suggest for me. Second question is solo riding not recommended for longer rides like Delhi to Goa for example. Some people said always travel in group. How do you find groups in india. Sorry for two long questions

[@BuluBiker]

Hi sir that is exactly where u need a bike that feels light n practical. Sir highway solo rides r not an issue but plz ride only from morning 6 to evening 6 n share live location with Family. Take a RSA support for whichever bike u buy. Never discuss too much where u stop for food, drinks etc, just try to be reserve n if anyone asks u anything, just say we r a group of five people n I am the faster one so waiting for others to arrive... these things should be good. Everything is good when u r on highways like Delhi n Goa. Its safe. Do not take shortcut roots to save time. But still its better to be with one more rider, that will make the Journey little more fun with an intercom u can have lots of motorcycle discussions 😁

[@arvindk5559]

Much obliged for a detailed answer. I will test the NX and hold the Himmy. You know I tested the Xpulse and it was amazing fun. I did silly things with so much ease with it. Will love to have that also in the garage. But if I buy NX no budget to buy another😅. Your tips on solo on not sharing are an eye opener. How do I get to ride in groups as I don’t know anyone. who rides. Live sharing 🤔 don’t have anyone left to share anything in life now.

[@BuluBiker]

@@arvindk5559 sir have a look at the Scrambler 400 and the Ktm 390adv. As xpulse n Himalayan has tubed tyres so not great for solo touring. Ktm390adv can do everything that u want. Slight vibs will be there but u will be used

[@95Ar98]

Every bike and its brand has its characteristics, Honda is the master of reliability, and quality, there is no doubt about it. That being said RE is has its own characteristics, its consumers like metal, chrome, vibration and heaviness, of the machine. I remember people of my father's generation saying that the RE classic model released nowdays is lighter than the ones they bought in the 1980~90's, sound is not satisfying etc etc. so the comparison between RE and honda is between apples to oranges. There is no point in doing so!!!! Also Bulu da has a bias against RE which he himself mentions, so he disliking RE and nitpicking about them is also normal. Ultimately we must keep in mind about the price difference between these two motorcycle. Thus, proving that comparing these two is completely idiotic and makes no sense. Also if people think that a bike shouldn't have engine noise and have no vibration on the bike's body, then what would they say about BMW's boxers?? are they engineered less?? do they have less R&D done to them??

Also you haven't told us about 1st free service at 1000 km as your bike crossed 2k km. Happy for your bike. Its a mile muncher for sure.

Will clock around 1L km before switching to another bike as this is gonna be my first bike.❤️ Wish me all the luck. Lots of love to you❤️❤️

4k 😂 bro. For highness I am spending 15k per annum. What are you talking. 😢 Be ready to pay 25-30k. Tyre itself is 30k. Chain sprocket. Engine oil brake pads . No way.

Bhai! Any update on the delivery??? 😢

Ye bike himalyan se nhi trk 502 se compete krta है beneli se comparison ka video banao if possible

[@ramkrishnaparadkar2349]

How is it compared to Triumph scram 400x specially handling bad roads? Currently I own dominar 400

[@BuluBiker]

This one definitely handles better bad road sir, but will take it to some good trails n post soon

[@ramkrishnaparadkar2349]

@@BuluBiker thanks, I can consider this one if it handles this aspect well as most of the roads around are badly broken once you are off the highway and on ghats around Pune and across Maharashtra though very scenic :-)

Bulu Bhai any accessories planned? Please update 😊

[@PJ_andhismotorcycle]

Y not compare this motorcycle with 502C from benelli?

[@_drupath_]

What is the service interval of this bike? What is the approximate service cost?

[@Tonyx.yt.]

first after 1000 km, then every 12000 km

Benelli trk 502 and honda 500 nx plz vdo banaiye sr

[@mallikarjunhr]

LOL people who are comparing a 8.5 lakh rupee vehicle to an RE itself shows the desperation. With the price range, it should be compared with a Triump or Kawasaki. If Honda can bring down the to RE level, then we will talk about compitation kids.

@@mallikarjunhr I am not disputing that, but you said that the NX is 8.5 which is only 5.9.

@@mallikarjunhr ok sir and I saw the onroad price in Bengaluru is sub 7.5 lakhs, how do you figure 8.5?

[@konark11]

Could you also tell about the service.... I was informed no free service and 6k service interval however the manual mentioned 12k service interval

[@BuluBiker]

There is no free service in cbu bikes sir, oil change services will cost about 6k and other services around 3k

Dear Bulu bhai, It has been 3 months of your ownership with NX 500. A long term review is awaited

[@BuluBiker]

Yes sir will make it after a long trip that I will be doing next month

[@josephonguitars]

Bhai...amazing video and absolutely informative. Thank you!

[@shaarodmahanta2473]

For someone having budget around 4-4.5 L which bike will you suggest for long term ( preferably parallel twin) Or should I go for any used machine for the same price?
