Test rode this bike multiple times and finally purchasing it Feels weightless, zero heat feels at peak summer in mumbai, generates power when you need it, that exhaust note❤. Stretched my budget for this awesome machine. Money spent on good quality is always money spent well

[@sameerkharade7750]

Among the RE twin cylinder engines, Kawasaki Verseys 650, Z650 and Z650RS that I have ridden, the NX500 sounded the best to me. It even generates that lovely pop sound while deceleration.

[@SumChatter]

At the outset thank you for posting an excellent review. I am selling my Triumph Tiger 800 XR to buy the Honda 500 NX. Because i find the Tiger's engine heat unbearable in city stop-go traffic and I stopped enjoying riding. Almost 10 years ago when I bought the Tiger, I was 10 years younger. I did Rajasthan, Ooty, Goa, Tadoba... i loved the adulation of being a Tiger owner, the speed, the bragging rights of BHP, Torque, etc. I went through a temporary phase of buying the BMW 1250GS and the many "reasons" given to me why the Boxer engine does not heat as much as the Tiger. I almost bought the 1250GS. But then, i asked myself WHY AM I NOT RIDING? Engine heat, weight were reasons. I took a pause. Checked out the Versys 650 and the Honda 500 NX the same day. I loved the 500 NX because there's no engine heat (my biggest problem), the weight management is simply brilliant, the power and accelaration is adequate for my need (i am 56), the engine is smooth like satin, braking is excellent, the front suspension travel does not sink each time i apply the brakes and the exhaust note is sweet. On Indian highway roads, on a 2-wheeler, a safe speed would be 80 KMPH and the NX500 can easily sustain 120-130 KMPH without the engine feeling strained. The ergonomics for long distance as well as city rides is just perfect for me (5'8"). I only wish the NX500 price tag was slightly lower but being a CBU (made in Thailand) the taxes are higher. I think i found my new motorcycle and hopefully a new companion for the roads. Wishing safe and enjoyable rides to all fellow riders.

[@eddale5557]

Same issue i had on my Triumph 900 Rally Pro the damn heat from the engine it almost burn my legs in the last summer so i sold it and purchased a Honda 500 NX in may and no heat issue at all on that perfect bike and now i have drive it 100 kilometers so fare and it is a very good bike!

[@boredbanda3168]

[@sathishveerapandian235]

I have been using 2019 model honda cb500x for daily commuting and long distance touring in the Netherlands for past 7 months. Honda CB500X is well-suited for touring due to its comfortable ergonomics, reliable and efficient engine, good wind protection, and versatile suspension setup. It strikes a balance between performance and comfort, making it a reliable companion for both short trips and extended tours. I can easily cruise on long trips 130 km all day with sufficent amount of power left for overtaking. And i have done trips to germany alps with bigger companions sv650,moto morini 650 and few bigger engines. I can very easily cope up with them because of its versatile nature and linear torquey smooth engine.

[@SD_003]

So you say the suspension on 310GS is smoother than this? I was actually considering the 310GS for its supple suspension. Power and all is good enough for my needs(barely cross 100/120 on two wheeler). But this bike somehow got me all excited and I hoped it to have a smoother suspension on bad toads compared to 310GS

[@dhavald4359]

310gs has worst engine I ever experienced. threw away after a test ride.

[@rajendragangurde4577]

The GS is not a good bike, do check some comparison videos. The KTM 390 ADV is much better than it. It's just due to the BMW badging that it sells. I'm not discouraging you from buying it, just suggesting to do some more research.

[@ajay9048]

Hey Strell ! I completely agree with your statement that "there's no point in comparison between this and the ADV 390. " What are the perks of a 2-cyl engine over a single cylinder ? If i buy the ADV 390 instead of NX 500...what would i miss ? The power figures are close for both of the motorcycles...but there's significant difference in the torque. I dont understand the point of upgrading from a single cylinder to a 2-cylinder motorcycle when i compare the power figures and all. You also checked the top end of this NX 500 and its similar to that of the ADV 390. I am confused as so many things between these motorcycles appear similar to me(maybe only to me!)...btw i never rode a 2-cylinder motorcycle. Please clarify me Strell 😅. Asking as a motorcycle enthusiast... looking forward to your answer!

[@darren.s.s]

Take a test ride of the NX, you'll probably find it out yourself

[@anmolkale16]

Bro, Twin Cylinder has better low end compared to something like a ADV 390. This happens cause these engines make a pretty good amount of torque very early in their rev range

[@prashasakpanda3754]

The confusion you are facing is not based upon the mere facts and figures, rather it is deeper than that. A test ride will clear most of the confusion.

[@rv6569]

close your eyes and go for adv 390. you wont miss much. ofcourse, there are differences in terms of engine reliability. this will easily last 1lak kms. braking will be better. so unless you are going to ride 1 lak kms there is no point buying this bike. you can save lot of bucks.
