I'm only halfway through this video, so do you realize how fortunate you are? The bike is more than capable in a most beautiful place. 500cc's will definitely get you down the road comfortably.
More beautiful scenery! If somehow I were able to ride those roads without dying of fright from the heights, it would take me forever to get where I'm going because I would stop at every single scenic overlook! haha
Hi, I love your videos, you live in such a beautiful place, I’m looking to get back into motorcycling, would you recommend the CB500f, is it powerful enough etc? Thanks
thank you. is it powerful enough? not an easy answer. it depends. for me it´s been ok. sometimes I feel it could have more torque. mostly up the mountains, to overtake with safety. but where I live, outside the freeways, the limit is 80 kms, so I would say it has enough power 90% of the time. in my videos you can see I´m a chill rider. everyone overtakes me. so the main question is... what kind of rider are you? at the start of every riding season I think about buying a new bike. with more power. but man... I sit down, start the engine... and I smile. nahhh... I don´t need a new bike. but i have a bias. this is my first bike and we´ve been through a lot together 😃. cheers and thank you
What a concise reply, I’ve had all types of bikes in the past, my last being a GSXR1000 but I stopped riding in 2017, I took a CB500f out from the dealership this morning, on the main roads which in the uk are 60mph (100kmph) I thought it felt a bit slow on acceleration but I took it down windy country roads and the bike came alive, I totally get it so much so I ordered one. Thank you, your advice helped me make my decision. I can’t wait until I get it now ready for the summer.
