Thank you sir, appreciate your feedback! Enjoy your wonderful machine😉

Fully agree, it's my favorite bike of 2022! I'm sure it's capable of way more than I could test. Would be great to have one with no responsibility at all haha. Enjoy your beautiful machine sir! All the best!

You remind of me.. I go back and forth, between 500 and NT1100 which is not available in United States yet. I’m touring kinda guy... I want make trip to Colorado rockies someday soon.. stay safe my friend.

Yeah you should put the 16 🦷⚙️ you will be super happy, I put it on my bike & I don't really see much of a downside it rides really nice & just drops your RPM about 4-500 RPMs on the 🛣️ & makes 1st ⚙️ usable! 👍👍💯 Takes less than 1 hour to put on & cost about $20 bucks. Not like it's hard to put the stock one back on if you're unhappy

it's pretty solid indeed, I enjoyed it very much :)

Hehe very nice sir, congratulations! You will have tons of fun, it’s such a wonderful machine! :) Let’s see what the next year brings though. Hornet is the first middleweight by Honda with upgraded electronics, so others might follow soon as well. Would be a nice to have, but the 500X doesn’t get much better than it is now anyway. The upgrades done to breaks and suspension are a massive jump forward!

Yep. Giving it the tft dash from the new hornet (and transalp?) is probably in the next upgrade package since it streamlines production for honda. Other than that there really isn't much expect maybe give it a bit better rear spring and more colour options to be pretty much perfect for what it is.

I have the 2019 cb500x absolutely love that bike I was going to get the new 1 but I just decided to save some money & get the '19 model because I don't really ride off-road much I just enjoy having the 500cc motor & the bike was almost brand-new with only 500 miles. I think it's better than the Africa twin imo main reason is it's just easier to ride & not so heavy

Absolutely, this bike caught me completely by surprise. Didn’t expect such a great perfomance in every situation :)

Thank you very much for your comment Bill. I think you summed it up perfectly, fully agree with everything you said!👍 Ride safe, all the best!

Amazing my friend, I’m so happy for you!!👊🙏 Enjoy every bit, you got yourself a wonderful bike!

right? I think Honda is absolutely killing it with this model. great value for money and totally does what it was built for, even more

thank you buddy, appreciate your feedback! and also congrats, this bike is an excellent choice!

Well, you have some real treat to look forward to! Happy for you man, feel free to share pics then! ;)

absolutely agree!!

Would the NC750X suit your needs?

absolutely agree, thank you! :)

Thank you buddy, appreciate your kindness! Of course, I love having reasons to travel! We can surely catch up next season, that would be nice!

Hvala ti bratee!!

Thank you, well noted! Glad you enjoy your bike, it is an amazing machine indeed! :)

Thank you very much for your kind words man! And hell yes - this bike is simply amazing!

Right? RIGHT?!!😁

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I always try to include all those things that I myself would like to know before I buy a bike, so I’m glad when it is useful to others as well :)

Thank you so much, I am super happy you found it useful!

Chillout pussycat, it’s supposed to be fun..😜 I’m nowhere near an off-road rider and even if I was crazy enought to try something extreme, I would have to make very sure Honda approves destroying the demo bike.. which they obviously didn’t. Cheers, ride safe!👊😉

congrats, amazing choice!! :)

Thank you sir, appreciate your kind feedback! :)

thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it! ;)

Cheers man, I'm super happy you found it useful! :)

Haha thank you so much my dear friend!🤗 The green one is definitely my favorite, too! A great color for any adventure bike really. I’ll make sure to bring some more reviews this season, happy you liked them so far!🙏😌 Take good care, all the best!

Sounds good man! Wish I had one of these babies for a proper unlimited test. Very capable machine indeed!

oh yes, we are so much dependent on them, especially since we have no subway here.. :( so we need a lot of busses and trams in every bigger city :)) Anyway, I would love to see Melbourne one day, it looks gorgeous in pics and videos, lucky you!! :)

Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed it! :)

great choice my man, enjoy it!!

thanks, what you said makes sense👍

I call bullshit; mine has been over Ophir, Engineer, etc...

Heyy thank you so much for such a kind reaction! I'll try to bring more fun content for sure! :) Now about your questions - I didn't expect any fuel surge or any unexpectedly violent reaction from the engine. This thing is really smooth at slow speeds, as well as at high ones. Maybe one little nit-pick I would have is that on highway I sometimes felt as if the front wheel was wobbling. Really just micro movements, but it was there. But I read on forums that it is normal. Maybe it has something to do with the decreased weight of the front wheel. But again, it didn't make my riding experience any less awesome. Barely noticeable. And regarding the engine heat - there wasn't one moment when I would be bothered by it. It's a rather small engine, so it produces pretty low heat, even for the two-cylinder standards. Hope this helps, cheers! :)

I'm the owner of a CB500X 2020 model. The engine can be a bit "twitchy" at very low speeds, but once you learn how to use the clutch and throttle just right, you can glide on through anything at slow speeds. I find the bike a lot smoother to handle if I keep it in the 2nd gear at slow speeds, as much as possible, and slip the clutch a little. It's only when it gets down to about 5km that I'll drop it into 1st gear. Throttle and clutch control skills are all you need to keep it purring no matter what the speed. My home's driveway involves coming up a VERY steep hill, with a hair pin turn at the top and only about 2 meters to make the 180-degree turn. I can handle it easily.

:D :D :D jooj sorry, niekedy ''v terene'' clovek nevychyta vsetky muchy :D ospravedlnujem sa vsetkym ktorym som sposobil akukolvek ujmu alebo traumu. podme sa radsej sustredit na tu krasnu motorku :D vela stastia kamo, dufam ze sa ti podari nasetrit a kupit a budes mega spokojny!

👍 :)

I would disagree about the ''nearly the same thing''. Rode both bikes and I wouldn't compare them at all.. I agree with the rest though. The new Hornet is practically impossible to beat when it comes to value for money.

well, even though I am way too far from an off road rider, I see you're making a valid point sir :)

Thank you very much! :)

Interesting take sir, you made a good point there. I only had experience with Africa Twin and this bike kinda reminded me of it in some ways, hence the comparison :)

@@KingJulienMoto understandable. I think a 21/18 wheel setup would make a stronger argument for that. But many people have used these as dedicated adventure bikes regardless of wheel size and it seems to have a very strong following from people that are getting outside and having fun.

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! :)

Hi Alen, I totally do recommend this as your first bike! It's very capable and fun for a beginner so it doesn't get boring soon, unlike most of the 300cc bikes. At the same time, the power delivery is so smooth and linear that it surely won't surprise you. Also, if you drop it, you can easily pick it up and it's very unlikely that it would get wrecked after a minor fall. It's a very solid and durable piece of machine. I just recommend you to visit your local Honda dealership, sit on the bike and see how it fits you. I am 6 cm shorter than you and it is by far the most comfy machine I've ever ridden, but everybody's different, so better see for yourself :)

@@KingJulienMoto thanx a lot for your reply 👍. Unfortunatly in Belgrade, the only Honda dealer don't have the cb500x in the shop, never had in order to see it, seat on it or even to try it...delivery time is around 6 month and only 2 years warranty. But will go to buy it anyway, made my choice!!! Thanx again and love your videos ✌️

@@svaralen I see, that’s unfortunate.. But I really believe you will be happy with the bike. It’s wonderful. Or another option would be to come over here to Slovakia to test ride it😀

I road bikes all the time from my early teens to my mid 20's.(I didn't bother getting a car untill I was about about 24 years old) Then, as always, life changed and didn't get back on an MC until a couple of years ago in my late 50's. At first, I found the weight and height of the CB00X a little daunting, but now 3 months later and 1200KMs of riding in all sought of conditions, it feels perfect! (PS: I'm 6ft, 78KG but have a short inner leg measurement)

I have to confess I wasn't aware of this. Thought it was essentially the same display with the same functions as the 2020 CBR, but I guess they made some improvements after all :)

me too! :)

Hey, everything you see here is Honda OEM accessories, manufacturer unknown. But you can order them via Honda website.

Both are beautiful, but remember that red adds 5 ponies :D You can't really go wrong with either of them. I love the green color but when I saw the red one in person.. a completely different animal. I couldn´t decide either :)) and yes, the seat is really good!

The seat is terrible! Especially after miles! Look it up,loads of people hate the seat....

Hey man, the one I had on my demo bike is a Honda original accessory, which you can order via Honda website or any dealership. Costs around 500 Eur. Hope this helps, cheers!

nope, didn’t have to care about anything really :))

Of course you do

I wish! unfortunately, I'm probably not gonna make it this year. next year for sure :)

Agreed it belongs on the road, though with those tyres you can survive pretty well in a mild off-road terrain, too. That’s it :)

Honestly, I didn’t play with that. But I had the very same dash on my CBR and it sucked no matter what I did😏

Hey there, thank you for your suggestions! ;) About the bike reviews.. I’ll see whether Honda wants me to test any of their demo machines. If so, then I surely would like to get my hands on the two you mentioned but I can’t promise anything right now. I will defo keep everybody posted! I would strongly advise you to get your test ride scheduled mate, CB500X is a great machine, you’ll see! Please let me know your impressions then, thanks! ;) Regarding the running joke, that might be a little complicated haha. I happend to have a ridiculous amount of cigarettes that my friend from Austria ordered (see, they’re a lot cheaper in Slovakia), so I thought I should use them somehow, but it was an isolated incident since I don’t smoke, haha. I will make sure to come up with some other stupid shit for sure though. I know I can’t be normal for 30 minutes straight so no worries :)) Frame sliders is a pretty interesting topic, I will defo have a look at it and see whether a whole video about it makes sense. Otherwise I could at least suggest some solid brands ;) Cheers, see ya around!

Hey! Update: I will do Hornet and Transalp this year ;)

@@KingJulienMoto That some great news! :D If I were facing now which one to buy - Hornet or MT07, then Hornet seems like such a no-brainer for me. Its full of cool stuff like riding modes, self canceling indicator, build-in navigation, QS Up/Down, and a lot more. Also if I recall correctly it is also cheaper, and has more power. But please, don't make me want this motorcycle as much as you did with Rosie, I don't have room for another one. 🤪

@@removed.account yeah Hornet vs. MT07 is a no brainer indeed. It has all you said, except the navigation really sucks. But in its defense, there is not one dedicated motorcycle app that would actually work properly. They’re usually delayed and not always actually showing data on display. I didn’t figure out how to display navigation on Hornet and it seems that you can only pair your phone with the bike to control the phone etc., but the navigation has to be viewed on the phone. I need to double-check though, maybe I just didn’t figure it out :)

@@removed.account Rosie is still top Honda middleweight though, in my humble opinion😇

I would absolutely recommend to test ride it if you have a chance, but it was definitely one of the most comfortable machines I've ever ridden. The ergonomics are extremely nice and everything else feels smooth and in its right place. The power delivery is definitely there but it's not scary, so I find the engine great for both, beginners and older riders. But as I said, you should at least sit on it to feel the bike or even better take it for a spin :)

a wonderful little bike that will eventually get there :D you have to understand mate, I only did it for the catchy headline ;)

haha okay fair enough.. but if I tried harder I could be. especially on an even terrain :)

hahaaaaa who doesn’t brother?!🤣🫶

no.

You’re missing the point sir, it’s to make the review more fun. I have enough integrity not to destroy a demo bike in a terrain that’s beyond my capabilities ;)

Plus it is not build for the terrain you call “extreme”, which should be obvious from the review, too. Cheers.
