Honda NX500 A baby Transalp, that's almost perfect. 

Passed my DAS in December 23. I bought this bike brand new for my first bike. Did my DAS on the Yamaya NT07I’m 6ft 2 19 stone. This bike is very comfortable, sounds great, plenty of torque and fast enough for me as a new rider. I’ve done 1300 miles and loving it. Approximately £20 to fill her up. Brand new bike, heated grips, wing deflection, main stand, black smoked screen and 12v attachment for £7,200. Great on the motorways, around town and twisty roads. It’s very comfortable and I did my first big ride from Manchester to Whitby in one go and felt fine doing it on this bike. If you are new to riding or experienced rider this is a great bike. It’s not going to pull your arms out your socket but personally I prefer comfort to speed. The tft screen is fantastic in all weather conditions. Very smooth clutch and bright led lights all around. Double disk break that gives you that confidence in breaking. . Overall great bike, fun and feels well balanced on all roads. Can’t wait for spring /summer.

If we all dropped the ego, we would be riding one of these!

Brave man parking up that close on a riverside. One little wobble getting it off the side stand on “Splosh”😂

I like videos like this a lot. You get to see a bit of someone else's part of the world and enjoy the ride, without paying the insurance.

Its basically a CB500X with a redesigned fairing and change of dash & switchgear. I had a CB5X, bought new in 19 and it is a great engine that feels like it has more than its 48bhp spec. They're also brilliant on fuel like the NC and can easily give 80+ mpg. These bikes also feel quite light. This p twin engine has also proved bulletproof reliable. After having mine for 3 years i wanted something a bit more substantial and with more ponies for longer rides. So i chopped it in for a 650 V Strom. But i do miss how light the CB5X felt.

I had a local upholsterer who does many bike seats put a 25mm layer of memory foam on top of the standard stuff and it works well,cheap too.

Just one wrong move and it could be in the lake! Good review. Thank you.

Look very good

good review, cheers. i'm gonna test ride it this saturday. my preferred options will be heated grips, hand guards and a top box. i will most likely not get the center stand and no fog lights. then i probably will get a crash bar. there are a few more styling options, which i don't need, there is this winf deflector, which is useless and who needs a tainted screen? looking forward to it.

I have the new NX500. The reason is the price and specifications for ADV bike is superb. The reason that i chose his bike is because it’s not too big.😂 Because i’m 5’7 Asian. And this is my 1st bigbike ever. Not too powerful but also not lacking in power. Also, respectable fuel consumption. I was considering the Transalp 750 but it’s wayyyy too big and too powerful. Maybe in the next 5-7 years i’ll upgrade to a 650 or 750 even 850. But NX-500 is a good bike. But the stocks tires are not impressive. And the hot air coming out from the engine when riding is something. Not too hot. But still mind boggling.

Enjoyed your review (except the music, no need, even if the wind was causing clipping 😉, and yes I am a vlogger too). I am now a CB500X/NX500 fan after riding my mates CB500X the other week, and will hopefully be looking to buy one, to run alongside my RE Classic 350……but which to go for ? I like the look of the NX, but prefer the look of the last incarnation of the X 🤔. Decisions decisions. Keep up the good work.

Spot on. It’s an upgraded CB500X. (But not as good looking in my opinion) I love my 500X and there’s nothing on the NX that makes me want to change.

Is there an advantage of having two 2 piston brake calipers on dual rotors as opposed to one 4 piston caliper on a single rotor?

Im a transalp XL750 owner and I rode a courtesy cbf500 earlier, thats out me off 500's, I know some people scale down but Im not sure why, felt like a kids bike

Looks like Pound Hill, you must be near me (Copthorne)? Nice review, have a test ride booked with P&H.

Does it suffer from the horrendous wind buffeting that the CB500x has?

Unfortunately there were times when i struggled to hear you when you were riding even though i had my volume at its highest. You missed one of its main selling points, for me at least, it doesn't have one of those stupid beaks which so many adventure bikes have, these days.

How do you compare the NX500 to the Triumph Scrambler 400X as an everyday bike?

Audio in left speaker only fyi

Isn't USB an inexpensive *option* ?

Has not got fly by wire it’s cable throttle

..why you riding so slow,...???
