My Review of the CB500x I broke it into two parts (too long otherwise).
First part is the first Kms and twisties!
Second part has a nice conclusion to the review, and some riding in-town.
Bike was a graciously loaned testdrive from linhaway (www.linhaway.pt). Wanna see me on a KTM RC390? Vote here!

Outstanding review. Love your casual conversational style. You speak clearly and actually enunciate your words which makes it fairly easy to understand you. Seems that's asking for a lot nowadays on KZfaq. Anyways, will pass on the CB500X after watching this review. I was actually debating between the NC700X and this bike. Seems like this bike is more suited for city riding at lower speeds. Thanks for posting this. Will check to see if you (hopefully) reviewed your NC700X.

Excellent and quite comprehensive, better than almost any other review I've seen by anyone. Would like it better without some words though. I especially liked the comparison between the 500 and the 700 as I can't decide between the two. Great job!

Nice ride! Very good review. I am actually going to buy the 2019 model in a few months. I live in Canada so there is little point to have it earlier than mid April. I really like the changes and upgrades that Honda has made to the bike (I hated that orange speedometer!). The countryside where you are is very beautiful (Spain, Portugal, somewhere in South America?). I had to laugh about your lack of fuel dilemma in the middle of nowhere (always at the worst possible time!); it brought out your dark side a little bit (also wanting to shoot the designer of the road twice where it really counts!) For the longest time I would not even consider a 500cc bike, but after hearing so many positive reviews of the 500X, and seeing how well it handles speeds of 100 -120 kph, I am convinced that the power is adequate for my requirements. The bike that I really wanted was the Tenere 700, but we won't get it until 2020! I had also considered the NC750X, but I think the 500X is more engaging and more fun in most circumstances. Thanks for the review; it was very well done.

Thanks Cager great video. Portugal looks like a beautiful place to live. Was worried your video would be long and boring. No chance, instead it was very informative and entertaining. Even if a person doesn't want a bike, this video is worth watching just for the scenery and hearing Cager's take on things.

This bike is amazing, i currently own one. The performance is very nice in addition no matter the fact that is an entry level motorcycle. It actually stood up to BMW's GS series (from 1200 to 650's within the group) with no problem. If by any chance you'd like one, you'll not regret at all.

"Ok. This is dangerous. And enough!" I was watching your review this morning but didn't get to the end of it before I had to go out and drop my youngest off with his mother. I then carried on for another 50 miles to a bike dealer in Manchester, and within 15 minutes had signed on the dotted line for a brand new CB500X, in white. I hadn't reached your "And enough" bit by then. I am so looking forward to this bike!

Hey Cager. Have you done a test and review of the Kawasaki Versys 1000? I have the Honda CB500X and am looking at stepping up to a bigger bike. Mainly for weekend touring, with the wife on the back on occasions. I am torn between the MT-09 Tracer, VStrom 1000, Crossrunner and the Versys. Leaning toward the Versys on comfort and looks. What is your feel on comparson of these bikes?

Thank you for the only detailed ride and commentary on the internet for this bike haha. I was 100% set on the V Strom 650 ABS, then this came out . . . I love that it is lighter, more economical, etc. I have one question for you. If you have ridden the Strom and similar bikes, how is the footing position in comparison. My one worry is that they didn't move the peg forward on the X model and I have bad hip/knees/back so I'm curious what your opinion is. Thanks so much, brother.

Cager, How is this thing on the highway/Interstate? Are you maxing it out at highway speeds? or does it have some punch still and can pass cars easily? I'm curious about it's long-term viability for me because I mainly need a commuter bike that's fun to ride. But I don't want to sacrifice mpg because it's hitting it's limits on the interstate.

I have a question. I heard CB500F has about 1 inch shorter seat height than 500X. Did you feel the height different between X and F? I am a little bit of shorter height. Since, 500X is not considered hard core adventure bike, can I just get a custom windshield on CB500F for long distance/mini adventuring bike. Thanks.
