Honda's A2 Adventure around SCOTLAND NC500 // Second ride? CB500X!

[@JayMatt89]

Living in the states outside of Philadelphia, a friend of mine Hwe, told me to watch your videos if I want to see the beautiful Scotland country side....I dont know if I will ever be able to get there, but watching your videos makes me feel a part of it....Cheers

Too bad the weather wasn't better, but still great scenery and another very enjoyable video! Thanks Kate!

No, thank you for watching Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it!

Kate, I could listen to you talk for hours! Love your accent! I live in Tennessee, so I may have one as well.😊

THE VIEWS ARE WONDERFUL!!!! This video makes me 1000 times more excited to get my first motorcycle. Thank you for such a relaxing and joyful experience. God bless you

Lived and worked there back in the 70 s , on my days off , straight on my bike , happy memories, great vlog Kate , I had a vf 750 in those days 😊😊😊👍👍

Glad you having a good time on a press bike ride. Will be interesting how you like the third bike. The "whispers" about Ruby's selfies was precious!

haha do you think i will like the CBR500? and I'm so cruel to poor ruby!!

[@mikep.9371]

@@UsernameKate Not keeping the differences in my thoughts. Just bought a used 2005 Suzuki DR200SE single air cooled ... it will be fun. Sort of reminded me of my Bridgestone 200cc air cooled twin from about '71.

[@alfredocesarano757]

I have the same bike, bought new 2 months ago, and preferred over the brand new NX500. Black color, with the same crash bar, hand guards and central stand. I love it, I don’t need more.

[@UsernameKate]

Oh, you've ridden both? What was the deciding factor as picking your CB over the NX?

[@alfredocesarano757]

@@UsernameKate I decided for the aesthetic impact, I liked more the cb500x despite nx has got some more modern things such as the colour display etc.

[@UsernameKate]

Interesting! I haven't ridden the NX yet but the CB is a bonny thing

[@rickterry8148]

Hi Kate, so glad you enjoyed the roads, there are many more to explore, off the beaten track, with even better scenery. I live on the Isle of Skye and the area you were in is my playground, on my africa twin adventure dct es, which is amazing. The weather is not always perfect, its pissing down just now, but you just have to enjoy it all. and it does not look like is phased you at all, which is credit to you. That rider infront of you was quite keen, you know the one I mean.

Loch Ness isn't the biggest loch in Scotland but, if you took all the water in every resovoir in England and Wales it still wouldn't beat the volume of water in Loch Ness which is approximately 27 miles long and 1.7 miles at its widest point.

[@stephenpotts8170]

Hi Kate enjoyed this leg, Sutherland my favourite part of Scotland, you lot certainly gave those little 500's a good thrashing, and I'm with you the X is the one I would pick out of the bunch. Look forward to the next one, thank you.

[@bobtorn2027]

Another great vid Kate. As a 67 year old returning to biking on retirement I bought a new 2023 CB500X. A great bike to ease my way back in to biking. Only problem is I think Honda has a cunning plan to persuade riders to upgrade! Loving the look of the new Transalp and yearning for an Africa Twin. Love the vids, keep them coming.

[@chrishart8548]

I looked at all 3 yesterday. I much prefer the cb500x now it's got twin discs and USD forks it sorted as far as I'm concerned. I came to the conclusion if I was thinking about the transalp I would just get the Africa twin. As I get older lighter and narrow bikes seem to appeal more. Some how the 500 feels like a 125 to me. I currently have a F800GS

Nice vlog kate, That bike did suit you and you were,nt hanging about.

[@staryjanek]

In the old days, it was thought that green bikes were bad luck, why I am not sure, maybe because green makes you merge in with trees and bushes etc etc. It was a long time ago though :) Macleod is pronounced like Macloud :) A family friend had a wee cottage down among the Machair just above the beach, it used to get pretty crowded when we all piled up :) On one of those trips I managed to weld the starter solenoid to the frame of the bike, when it came loose. Mate behind me said he could see the welding sparks as he rode behind me, had to swiftly disconnect the battery earth, and then got home by using the wiring from an old kettle that had been dumped in a bin to start the bike by hot wiring the starter motor directly from the battery positive, those old Honda CX 500s were hard to kill :)

[@1990-t1j]

I prefer the CL500, Kate. In fact, I'm contemplating one as my second bike to my SCR950.

[@chrishart8548]

I have a soft spot for the SCR950 it's very cool in its own way. Bit like a more usable Bolt. It's a bit of a mongral but I like it.

[@1990-t1j]

@@chrishart8548 Thanks. I like it, too. So much more than the sum of its parts. Peak power may only be 53 bhp, but peak torque comes in at 3,000 rpm. The bike is very responsive. I have been offroad on it. A bit of a lump. I wasn't intending to but ran out of tarmac somewhere north of Chiang Rai city. I also have a Mk2 KTM 390 Duke. Regards, Nick

Nice vid Kate. Hope the 23’ version is not as snappy (on-off) in first/second gear when cold, as my 2019 Honda 500x. Hope you continue next ride with a lot of sun. Big thumbs up 👍👍🇳🇱

Can you really compare a cd500x with a goldwing 1500. A cb500x is almost cheaper than walking if you need transport I would say go for one . Most people can't afford the cost or inconvenience of dealing with a goldwing, especially if you're a 5'4" woman.
