Best list of problems I've ever heard. Basically nothing really wrong with this bike :)

There are rear baggage racks available for these that are very practical and don't lookout of place. The horn button is an issue on many bikes, I have a Suzuki Gladius with the same problem but you soon get used to it.

Bits where the engine sticks out, the ignition and the steering lock are all the same as the Rebel which shares the same engine and main body. That cover for the clutch is always getting in the way but at least I'm not burning my feet

What about the throttling problem RevZilla are talking in their scl500 review (at 12th minute mark)?

I love the side luggage! I did myself with a Blauer waterproof bag and I find it very cool and suitable😎

I put a 30 litre bag on the seat and strap it. No worries whatsoever. Could be an issue with a very large overhanging bag I guess, but in what situation would you need say 60+ l with that bike. There are also good after market rear racks if you really need it.

Spoked wheels are available, from Kspeed Thailand, they are tubeless too

One of the most annoying things I’ve noticed is the exhaust pipe keeps switching sides! 0:27

In sunny weather the display is utterly useless. Fine when the sun is behind you but otherwise invisible. Fine at night. Would love to have an analogue display on this bike - love it otherwise. Might just mention the small tank (12Litres) but phenomenal mileage (85mpg UK) so range not bad. Would have liked a centre stand but paddock stand makes maintainance much easier

Is it hard to reverse the image when using the front camera?

what about display? Is it readable in bright weater?

Get a good backpack guys. The saddle bag has been sold out forever here in the states. Get a good backpack and then it's fine.

I drive an nc750x and the layout of the indicators and the horn are worse. The horn is just where your thumb naturally goes. I think they have solved it better now on the cl.

If anyone has modded this with a lower exhaust so it could have twin panniers I'd be interested. It has same switchgear as CB500F, and I've hit the horn a few times unintentionally

I wonder what is the experience of passenger riding with you with that big exhaust right there

Cut that horn button down a bit with a dremel but the keying arrangement is really dumb. Both locks are exposed to mud and grit splashes while main one could even get knocked. The wheels are great, leave them alone.

The steeting lock being on the other side is just weird and would likely annoy me

Your camera's wrong when front facing. Never had any of the problems you mention.

I have this bike never hit the horn when using my indicators myself😊

Luggage = It's not the only option if you simply add a rack .

In my opinion, this video is total nonsense. I have now ridden almost 5000 km with my CL-500, and not one point you have listed is significant or annoying. 👎

K-speed offer spoked tubeless rims for this bike
