[@andregrastyan3403]

Wow, that's very cool I got mine in the green color right after I saw your video on it. Good luck with it. I got 3,100 miles on mine and have no problems yet at all and love it. Greetings from the NJ shore USA.

Hi Mr fish , great new bike day and it looks a great looking bike and enjoy it and alĺ the up greyds you plan

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks 👍

[@erikwoodward3788]

I love your new bike. I think that is a perfect replacement. Some of the things you might do for that retro look. Have the front fender chromed, get chromed mirror caps, and have the exhaust cover chromed.

[@samuelgillard2196]

Nice mr Fish 👌🏼

[@Mrfish2015]

Well said!

[@martinlowe9305]

Funny enough I knew on Friday what bike you had got. A little bird told me when I was looking at one of these in Doble's and I mentioned your previous review of it. Great choice and nifty colour 😊

[@alanwright9112]

Best of luck with new bike

[@christopherreed442]

Nice bike and that bit of a different offering to the more common cbf and now nx500

[@YammieBobber999]

Must admit I love mine…although wish now I’d added the higher seat. 5”10 and it does feel slightly cramped on a longer trip. Got mine as a winter hack…great wee bike! Is it a B road blaster for sure…did 80 miles up the duller the other day and she held her own. Fuel consumption is good too. I’m on A roads to work….roughly about 160 miles before the fuel gauge starts to flash. It’s does like to throw shit all over herself though even with a front fender extender 😂. For the money though you can’t go wrong 👌

[@grays5112]

A great choice, 🙂 great for the lanes and B roads in Mid Wales, I love mine, (blue as well), very economical and really good with the high seat, I raised my bars by 32mm to retain the OEM triangle, you'll enjoy it 👍 2 things I don't like (I've owned 103 bikes) the key position and the small tank capacity, but the set up is great for my needs, it compliments my other 2 bikes really well 😄 I've added Oxford Heated grips, mirror extenders, Givi Hand-guards, Headlamp surround flyscreen, 10" front extender fender (a must) Givi Tanklock bag, rear rack and Givi top box, ideal for all my trips out 👍

[@Mrfish2015]

I was thinking of raising the bars .. any issues with the cables ?

[@grays5112]

@@Mrfish2015 I have 4 sets (2 x 22mm and 2 x 28mm fatboy) risers, adjustable from 22mm to 50mm in height, that lets you play with the heights, I found 50mm too high, 40mm was just a bit too tight for the full lock on the clutch cable so I went for 32mm which is fine for clutch cable and brake line, and this maintains the oem rider triangle. 👍 The adjustability is a godsend as you can accommodate nearly all bikes, to your favourite position, got them about ten years ago from M&P, but haven't seen any for ages, they were ridiculously cheap @ £12.99 a set, sign of a cheapskate pensioner 😃

Cool...Bet you change that fat exhaust 1st, lol...Definitely some crash bars, just in case you hit some ice in winter, lol...Oh and a wee rack....Nice one Mr Fish 🙂

[@siwynjones]

I saw a couple of CL500s at my local Honda dealer a couple of weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised how much better they look in the flesh compared to the photos and videos I’d seen. Not sure if it’s the proportions, but they somehow look a lot more substantial in real life than in photos. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it.

[@Mrfish2015]

They do look better in the flesh

[@rogerkay8603]

Looks like a Hillary to me. I know exactly what you mean, I went down to a Suzuki 650 VStrom after a big KTM, my talent is now a bit closer to the bikes ability. Great demo of your little Honda, you just can't go wrong with one of them.

Fender extender. Help keeping the radiator clean. Ever tried those handlebar mittens? I have a pair that I use on my Meteor 350 when it's chilly. As good as they work I imagine if I had heated grips also I could probably ride when it's absolutely frigid. 🥶😎

[@Mrfish2015]

Just ordered the fender extension.. thanks for the tip

[@ronboe6325]

At first blush I was going to say "but it's too low for you!" but you got the high seat and you had one for a spell - so you knew exactly what you were getting and you're thrilled. So, well done sir! :bow:

[@gabrielw4146]

NICE. i feel like there's a huge lack of content on this bike. I have been considering buying one and building into a supermoto style bike. K-speed has some really trick bits that would really liven up the bike.

[@Mrfish2015]

I’ve seen the k speed stuff … looks good

[@anandsummanwar8941]

Nice choice of bike and a nice colour too. I did a test ride on this last year and enjoyed it from the instant I started riding it. I've owned a CB500X in the past and I was a bit surprised that the CL500 felt different to ride. I dont know if there are differences in the gear ratios or the sprocket sizes. I was also wondering if the CL500 is comfortable for the pillion rider.

[@Mrfish2015]

Can’t answer on the pillion but it gives its max torque at 500rpm lower

[@ioanjones9269]

def wasnt expecting that haha, very nice tho

Hi Mr Fish good replacement for you for the Honda CB125F.

[@robedmunds7163]

I think these bikes are great, except for that exhaust, I need panniers for camping and that kills it.

[@Mrfish2015]

Yeah limited for luggage

[@malcolmpatton7817]

Good on you sir perfect bike for you considering your other bikes. It’s the engine for economy. Do you really need crash bars ? not a high seat use your legs lol

[@Mrfish2015]

My bikes fall over from time to time 😂

[@tonywilliamson4512]

Well I never a 500 scrambler!! A bike that has not grabbed my attention until now,big change for me would be the end can and hoping its on your list cos it will be a good face lift plus also these bikes don't seem popular I may be wrong( after all I am married and hear it a lot) but deals may be had given its lack of sales we'll see. Any way think you will do it proud. Hurry up and start moding. 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

I kind of like the fact it’s not popular here .. I think it’s more popular around Europe

[@Mrfish2015]

Luckily I was 😂

[@markspash178]

I was so disappointed when I rode a CL, I love my 500F and really want to replace it with an X, my wife has the Rebel, which I’m not a fan of, it feels too long as does the CL. A feeling that is confirmed by the longer wheelbase. Instead of feeling like a scrambler, it feels like a Rebel with a tall seat. Triumph has embarrassed Honda on how to make a scrambler and it’s 400 is heaps cheaper too!

[@Mrfish2015]

Depends what you want .. it’s a lazy commuter for me so perfect ..

[@markspash178]

I had another ride on one yesterday and I kind of get it now. It did admirably on some dirt roads too.
