Test rode this bike multiple times and finally purchasing it Feels weightless, zero heat feels at peak summer in mumbai, generates power when you need it, that exhaust note❤. Stretched my budget for this awesome machine. Money spent on good quality is always money spent well

Among the RE twin cylinder engines, Kawasaki Verseys 650, Z650 and Z650RS that I have ridden, the NX500 sounded the best to me. It even generates that lovely pop sound while deceleration.

I recommend Sarge and Strell reviews to all of my collegues, amazing work as always, Bengaluru Summer Pink everywhere

Awesome NX500 review…honest n detailed…not like some people out there confusing us with 4lakh cheaper bikes than this

Really well done ..good job ..now you made me want to take a good look at this bike ..from Canada. Have a good day

At the outset thank you for posting an excellent review. I am selling my Triumph Tiger 800 XR to buy the Honda 500 NX. Because i find the Tiger's engine heat unbearable in city stop-go traffic and I stopped enjoying riding. Almost 10 years ago when I bought the Tiger, I was 10 years younger. I did Rajasthan, Ooty, Goa, Tadoba... i loved the adulation of being a Tiger owner, the speed, the bragging rights of BHP, Torque, etc. I went through a temporary phase of buying the BMW 1250GS and the many "reasons" given to me why the Boxer engine does not heat as much as the Tiger. I almost bought the 1250GS. But then, i asked myself WHY AM I NOT RIDING? Engine heat, weight were reasons. I took a pause. Checked out the Versys 650 and the Honda 500 NX the same day. I loved the 500 NX because there's no engine heat (my biggest problem), the weight management is simply brilliant, the power and accelaration is adequate for my need (i am 56), the engine is smooth like satin, braking is excellent, the front suspension travel does not sink each time i apply the brakes and the exhaust note is sweet. On Indian highway roads, on a 2-wheeler, a safe speed would be 80 KMPH and the NX500 can easily sustain 120-130 KMPH without the engine feeling strained. The ergonomics for long distance as well as city rides is just perfect for me (5'8"). I only wish the NX500 price tag was slightly lower but being a CBU (made in Thailand) the taxes are higher. I think i found my new motorcycle and hopefully a new companion for the roads. Wishing safe and enjoyable rides to all fellow riders.

Im not a bike enthusiasts but it does look like a Honda from every amgle except from the front as it looks very much like a suzuki

Many yrs ago they also had a 500,I have a feeling this bike will make it's iwn legend,they always make bikes that often become legends

Hey - Getting this bike next month. Thanks for the great vid! From Wales, cheers

I have been using 2019 model honda cb500x for daily commuting and long distance touring in the Netherlands for past 7 months. Honda CB500X is well-suited for touring due to its comfortable ergonomics, reliable and efficient engine, good wind protection, and versatile suspension setup. It strikes a balance between performance and comfort, making it a reliable companion for both short trips and extended tours. I can easily cruise on long trips 130 km all day with sufficent amount of power left for overtaking. And i have done trips to germany alps with bigger companions sv650,moto morini 650 and few bigger engines. I can very easily cope up with them because of its versatile nature and linear torquey smooth engine.

yo, why are the coconut trees pink?

What’s your camera setup i want to know im interested What filming accessories do you use

Is it good for ladakh and sikkim ??? Will it handle those roads??@iamstrell

In this price i can get a himalayan 450 and a shotgun 650 😜 That’s the only thing stopping me from buying it 😂

Bruh i need ur help , i was in second hand market to buy 500 to 600cc adv bike i found 2021 honda cb500x ridden for 7000km asking ffor 5.5 lakhs do u think its still worth to pay that much and worth it or ask little less (by how much?)...any suggestions bruh ? will be waiting for ur reply 😊

Hey Strell ! I completely agree with your statement that "there's no point in comparison between this and the ADV 390. " What are the perks of a 2-cyl engine over a single cylinder ? If i buy the ADV 390 instead of NX 500...what would i miss ? The power figures are close for both of the motorcycles...but there's significant difference in the torque. I dont understand the point of upgrading from a single cylinder to a 2-cylinder motorcycle when i compare the power figures and all. You also checked the top end of this NX 500 and its similar to that of the ADV 390. I am confused as so many things between these motorcycles appear similar to me(maybe only to me!)...btw i never rode a 2-cylinder motorcycle. Please clarify me Strell 😅. Asking as a motorcycle enthusiast... looking forward to your answer!

nice review and to the point. Did a test ride and really considering to buy.

At What speed it starts heavy vibrations?, Can we do heavy off roading with it?, Comfortable for long tours? And compared to Benelli trk 502x which one is better?

Please suggest for hornet 2.0 alternative aur filters

@strell Could you please mention about the exact ground clearance this motorcycle has and if it has quick shifter & auto blipper features? Also, considering I'm riding solo on a BS6 2020 Duke 390 until now would NX 500 be a decent upgrade for rides having pillion? Can someone cruise at 130-140 KMPH being solo on this machine? I look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance!

Should I buy this or used Suzuki Vstorm 650 at the same price point for long distance touring with pillion and luggage?

The suspension on new Himalayan is far superior than anything adv/sports tourer in 500cc range

Informative video as always. Is a 12V charger a standard fitment? Also are OEM crash guards available as official accessory?

Hey Strell, it will be a great support if motorcycling community can make Honda to launch more bikes with this engine, like Hornet 500. Please try to contact Honda.

As a Honda fan I hope one day you have this bike CBR 1000RRR Fireblade for review...

If we are comparing with ktm adventure 390, which one would be better ... for touring and city ride ....

Can you tell me which suspension is too good compare to Himalayan 452

The front sode looks that way, because Honda has made some cost cutting to make the naked and fairing version use same type of headlight design... The naked version is not available in India for now i guess...

Great video my friend

Are there noticeable vibes on the bike, in any rev range?

Can we expect cb500 or cb750 with engines from nx and transalp respectively

So you say the suspension on 310GS is smoother than this? I was actually considering the 310GS for its supple suspension. Power and all is good enough for my needs(barely cross 100/120 on two wheeler). But this bike somehow got me all excited and I hoped it to have a smoother suspension on bad toads compared to 310GS

What's that weird sound that comes while shifting?

Accessories are crazy expensive. The petty center stand cost around 15k. The small piece of rubber on tank (tank pad) cost somewhere around 4.2k. Besides, people are paying some 5.5-7.5k for the first service where you don't even have much work. Why Honda.....why !!!!

Been waiting for this video

Does it come with engine/radiator/hand guards

@iamstrell please make a video on your GoPro settings and editing and moto vlogging setup

Could you do Translap review also, personally waiting for the CB 125R/ 150R if it comes to indian market 😢😭

that krrr sound may be because of air flow through gaps near handle bar

Why the trees are in pink colour

What an amazing thrilling content😊

I thought there’s something wrong with IR filter of the camera!

What’s the location in Bengaluru?

Hello, bossman. I have a CB350. Do you think a BMC airfilter will help with the low end? Also my bike had a difficult time breathing at around 14k feet in Spiti. Will the BMC help?

In terms of low end and high end how does the new duke 390 engine compare with this ? Aksing because, Im wondering if i should wait for the new 390 ADV or not. I already have 2013 duke 390, looking to buy one bike for touring whcih can do well with pillion?

What place is that at the start of the video?

should keep two bikes at least. one big tourer/adv (with cruise control) and other small street fighter. I see 500/650cc segment is jack of city and highway usage. trying to fulfill both duties make them not best tool for anything. Bikes of around 500cc can go 150kph but keeping it there for long is not a comfortable experience.

I recently took the test ride of this NX500 in Bangalore. I can completely relate to what you have said. It is indeed a bit laggy specially when the engine is reving low. And yes, the suspension could have come with an adjustable set up like the previous cb500x. One question to you @strell - If you need to choose between this nx500 and the cb350 keeping comfort as the only sole parameter, which one would you choose?

Which location is this bro?

Seat length really not up to the mark for touring with pillion. For avg Indian height ( apx 5 ft 8 in).

Bro please suggest to Honda India to launch cbr150r

What location is this?

Hey strell! An excellent review! Can you also provide your opinion on the eliminator 400

Strell anno, pink colour theng aadyamaayittanu kaanunnath, ith aeth naadu

Bro vitpilian 250?

why is everything pink?

Wait.... So Honda has two advs now in the 500 range? 500x and NX500?

Hey, thanks for the review, I have a bizarre question, I own a really good city bike & planning to buy a Honda for occasional touring - one that can comfortably & confidently cruise between 100-110kmph, made well and is reliable for next 10 years of touring, should I get the highness 350 & save money? Or should I get the NX500? I know it’s different class and category, but I expanded my requirements.

Location?

Would it make sense to sell my 2019 versys 650 to buy this ?

Very nice review sir but again when talking about the price I have to really disagree with you on that front,a 500cc motorcycle at 7.7 lakhs even if it's a twin cylinder makes no sense,in the Indian market we are limited so if we look from an options standpoint yes,but in a broader sense the price still doesn't justify itself I think

Why does even coconut trees look pink?

Should we be worried that it doesn’t come with e20 complaint sticker? I am planning to buy this for using at least 5 to 8 years.

Can it be compared with Benelli trk 502?

Heyy strell any chance for review translap 750 ??

If Honda did what Aprilia pulled out, this would have eaten ADV390s and Himalayan for breakfast.... BTW do you have any idea when will be the CB650R 2024 version going to launch in India??

Whats wrong with your editing / camera ? Why do all the green's look pink ?

is the seat height comfortable for 5’7 ?

ur cbr 650r is the best at the price point you acquired it 😊

Why is all green turned to pink?

The horn switch placement is infuriating

Bro please review Honda CB200X 2024

Ok, but why does every tree's leaf look pink?

@strell showroom guys are confused about service charges- I enquired someone saying it around 8k and some around 4K. Could you please confirm

Colour Full 😁

Every trees got a pink and violet shade ..... something went wrong...

Waiting for nx300

Post ur pick , just to admire the creator

Could you do a review on the cf moto 650 mt or at least give ur veiws on the motorcycle. I'm really confused if i should be getting it

I don’t see E20 sticker on it. So it seems like it isn't E20 compliant yet.

I think with this price point ktm 390 adventure makes more sense.

Love from kharagpur

I heard this engine can give milage upto 35kmpl. Is it true??

waiting for CB350 review

Wating for cb150 r

Oooohooooo🎉

Today, nothing can be trusted soo blindly just because it has been there since a long time.what was there 10/15 years ago has no relevance from what you get today. Quality of parts, suppliers , changes with time WHICH NO ONE KNOWS

Looks like 1st Gen Karizma R

❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤

Honda Please reduce the price to 6.5 lak on the road 👍

some body from CFmoto got fired and got hired by Honda 🤣. its not a honda way though

✌🏼

Also sounds robust and long breath for open roads

Bro please review honda CB 200 X 2024 version

If only it was 80k cheaper

😊7.58 lakh is too much, its definitely overpriced and will see price slash in near future

Please someone needs to fire the one making all the new motorcycle designs they are HORRIBLE .
