Honda NX500 2024

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Thoughts? Wheres it made and essentially is it just a redressed CB500X?

Weight wise its heavy for a 500 buy it does look good.

Looks great to me.

My 'issue' is that I'm tall/biggish (not adv wide) and riding a decently quick bike that's quick through the gears and a decent shove on the motorway stepping back/down feels just a chore.

I rode a few 500s, 650s etc and I just found it such a chore. Just too much.

Lightness first then engine size. But it needs to have at least 80bhp...

I just think 44bhp is just too pedestrian. That's not testosterone talking just a spoilt rider.

I’ll just leave this here.

I like it, I like the look of it but in a one bike garage it wouldn't work for me


...and the comment where I said still I'm open to ideas, change.

Nevergonnahappen, but that with the 750 Hornet/Transalp engine would interest me.

But then it would be a transalp!

Saying that you could buy one, A2 restrict it if you had restrictions.

I had a 2021 cb500x, nice riding position but painfully slow, got a 750 hornet now handles and goes really well but not that comfortable on long distances.
Had a sit on new the transalp too big for me, not much smaller than the African twin.
FFS honda just but the 750 motor in the Cb !!

These adventure bikes are the MC equivalent to SUVs and leave me stone cold.

Depends what you are using them for. A chap took his Suzuki GXR1000 across Africa alot off road... stock.

I hoped this is what the Transalp would be, but instead they put tubed wheels on it to make a faux bog hopper.
