I also appreciate the fact you acknowledge that some features you show are new to you, and when someone owns a bike they will learn their bike and it will all be second nature. Finally, you took the bike on a little, worn and torn country road and that is exactly where this bike belongs. Thanks yet again from another former CB500X owner.

I’ve been looking for reviews on this bike for a long time and this is the first English review out there. I passed my MOD2 in December and I’m picking up my new black NX 500 next Saturday. Can’t wait but I little nervous. New bike, new tyres, new breaks and me a new rider plus it’s going to be wet. I’ve ordered. The bike with the comfort pack. 3litre tank bag, 12v plug, heated grips, wind deflectors, knuckle guards and main stand. I’ve got a few questions: What’s the best way breaking in this engine. Best way breaking in new tyres especially in the wet. Can’t wait to finally pick it up. Thanks for the review.

Nice intro to the bike. Yeah the 12V output should be standard, but I actually would prefer an USB outlet there. The tail light has now a red glass, previous transparent/white glass. Otherwise it looks quite similar. I like the new front fairing, the windshield is a bit different(larger also?), hopefully it gives more protection. I loved the previous TFT (many didn't) but the new seems to be OK, nice that it's possible to get info from your phone like weather and nav. The bike has now traction control.....hardly needed on such a small engine...but I its there 🙂 For most other parts the bike looks unchanged. A great bike 🙂 Congrats, you are the first (as i know) to get out some impressions, when the 2019 came I was the lucky one 😀

Yep thats much better looking than the outgoing CB500x. Shame the new Transalp looks more like the outgoing x - would be better if modeled after this one lol.

I have a 2020 CB500X (post 19 inch front wheel and LED headlight, but pre twin discs at the front) and can testify to that being a great bike. The NX500 looks to have some styling differences but are they enough for me to think that I need to upgrade? Nope. Granted I do like the look of that new instrument panel. Honda have made the mistake of making a bike that is too good - at over 70mpg too it even beats off the temptation of bigger bikes. In answer to your question though, yes, the rear light is a different style to the past model.

Honda would have to try pretty hard to F*** up the CB 500 X. In some ways I was disappointed when they finally revealed the NX as many were hoping it would be a more off-road capable variant of the X, with more clearance, tubeless spoked rims and increased travel. As things stand, if owners wanted to do more involved off roading they'd have to carry out the same modifications as they do on the outgoing model. Shame Honda didn't follow the same route as Suzuki with their two versions of the same DE platform. That said, the CB is a great bike (I've owned and loved mine since 2016!) and I imagine this latest iteration will be just as much fun to own and ride. Props for the first UK road test Mr. Fish!

Congrats on this world exclusive! Btw the shifter is mounted on an adjustable rod and boot clearance is very easy to manage. Afterall some will ride this bike to the Opera while others will cross the Sahara, to each their own boot 😅😅 Cheers 🍻

Serious question. Can you put a skid plate on this bike at all? The engine is a stressed member. It has no frame, and therefore no frame to engine motor mounts. Skid plates generally mount under and to the bike frame rails, and crash bars use the frame to engine motor mounts as an anchor attachment point. This motor has no frame rails or motor mounts. How would a skid plate or crash bars mount? I think the engine would have to be designed to provide attachment anchor points for these, or else I don't see how.

If only they put a Dash like that on the NC 750X.... you've even got Twin Discs upfront

Great video 😊 I will be test riding one soon, I have a 2017 cb500xh & think the nx500 is a bit step forward, what's not like 😊

The old 650 single Dominator was a VERY desireablebike, for those who didn't earn enough to pay for a Transalp! This bike looks a good and a worthy successor! Be VERY interesting to hear your comparisin with the NEW Himalayan 452cc, from Royal Enfield?

Like I said to someone else . If Enfield want to lend me one I’ll happily ride it

Its pretty much adventure styling on a sports bike. Would be fine as a daily commuter .
@Mrfish201510 ай бұрын
I wouldn’t call it a sport bike 😉

size does matter, I am quite tall, and ride a kawasaky versys x300, so flat footing it is no problem/ just a bit odd to have my thighs at an angle toward the road instead of flat like my prior motos. geometry of each motorcycle just has to fit you for your choice, enjoy your ride.
@leeinwis8 ай бұрын
The engine noise of the x300 weirded me out .
@bradaltemeyer44728 ай бұрын
people say it sounds like a sewing machine, but I am so old, to me it sounds a lot like George Jetsons Flying car. (or is that supposed to be Jorge Jetson), One reason I bought it, is simple it was in stock.@@leeinwis

Great video...Does it have a centre stand as well as a side stand please?

Only as an option not as standard

The reviews I read on the CB500X said that the engine tended to get buzzy in the higher rev range. Was that your experience with the NX? How off road capable could it be with the the modifications you mentioned (new tires, riser bars, crash bars, etc.)?
@Mrfish20156 ай бұрын
It’s still a bit buzzy but not a deal breaker , off road will be limited by ground clearance etc , mild off road should be fine with the mods

The Dommy/Tenere style square'ish front fairing & screen looks promising... and then you look down & see the weedy forks, cast wheels & the boring CB500X silhouette. As a commuter? - Excellent. As an adventure bike? - No chance!

Nice to see this first review. I have a CBR500R and it's great for riding back roads but it's painfully obvious every time I get on that this class of bike needs 60 HP. This 47 HP BS is getting old.

Can you completely turn off the rear ABS without removing a fuse or unplugging a connector? Thanks

The previous years had adjustable windscreen, I guess they traded it for the updated dash screen.
