New Honda CL500 - Test Ride Review with Sound Check of the new Scrambler 

Quite comprehensive review and thanks for mentioning on the tank / fuel range. Appreciate that ☺️

Well done! Great review,very thorough😊

Wonderful review - excellent commentary and footage. Greetings from the USA!

Appreciate your hard work on that review.

Good, thorough, candid job, Thanks.

Yo Juliane, Oh yeah, I remember those Dream CL72s they were my first rides as a youth. Great Motorsickles. Easy to ride. Oh yeah I'm showing my age. I have 58 years riding under my Butt. I still Live, Breathe & Bleed Honda Red. Thank you for a great review and all the specs. Most people overlook these smaller displacement Motorsickles. They forget how fun they are to ride. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up. Hello again from Mid Michigan, USA 🇺🇸

I didn’t even know the existence of this bike… thank you for bringing me the news, Juliane!😊

Very nice review!! Keep it up!!

Such a pleasure watching your vids, you always have terrific content with great insights and information 😊

Thank you for review! I'm also big fan of scrambler motorcycle appearance.

Nice review, I like the look with the hand guards and front mud guard … looks like a good all rounder for everyday use 👊

Great review , informative and fun.👍

Love the look of this bike, great review :)

Great review….always like your focus on rider considerations such as seat height, handling and temperament.

great review, thanks!🎉

Fantastic review! I just came across your channel and am very impressed. I'm seriously considering this as my second bike. Thank very much for your discussuion at 11:39 about passenger comfort...you are the ONLY review to give proper consideration on that topic. My wife is 5'2" so it sounds like she would be just fine there. Again, great job! Just subbed.

Thank you. Very much appreciated . The sun always seem to shine in your beautiful motorcycle videos and you provide just the sweetest Dutch German flavoured American English accent.

Thanks for addressing the pillion aspect of this bike, and cool jacket!

Great review 👍👌

Beautiful Bike!!! Congratulations!!

Nice review! soon to get mine 😊

Wow, that wasn't your normal voice for sure. You sounded like heat exhaustion was kicking in. Thanks for soldering through a very informative review Juliane.

Excellent review, Juliane! I really like the scrambler look. The 790mm seat height is appealing to me because of my 28” inseam. I hope to see this bike in the U.S. soon. I enjoy your channel 😎

I miss my old CB500! Sold it for a triple though ;) happy riding Juliane!

Great looking bike, glad it is finally appearing in showrooms, being similar height to you I do like to get your take on a machine, hopefully get to test ride one soon.

cool, thanks for the video

Nice review and bike.

I really like the idea of this bike. It's what will bring more GenXers to riding motorcycles.

I wish Honda would sell a larger tank for this with the “adventure package” even 3-4 more liters would bring a lot more peace of mind on longer trips

I have Honda Navi 🎉 This is my first bike. "Scrambler" cl 500 be next. Best review on RU-vid.🎉 Thank you very much.🛠️🙏👍🐥

Love this bike, takes me back to my youth

packed with information! 👏Thank you. exposed exhaust and radiator may cause problems off road perhaps.I guess you couldn’t take off your lovely Segura jacket because of the microphone? You could do clothes reviews too because you looked absolutely fabulous in that gear !👌

Top Lass! Great! Thorough Review Of The Bike! ignition switch unusual position! to the norm! Looks like you really enjoyed had fun! I hope I enjoy the bike as much! Cheers, Graham.

Thanks nice Video , nice bike. Thinking to buy it for second bike for smaller tours and offroad

I have an scl500 with very few miles on it because I bought it on end of year clearance so I've only had it during the winter. Years ago I had a early 70s 360cc Honda Scrambler that I rode the holy crap out of because I got it well used at a low price. Between the two they have the exact same build ethic, street engine with slightly modified frame and high muffler. I think I am going to love this Scrambler as much or more than the old one, and I am going to ride the crap out of her but not abusively. I will be turning her into a street racer.

Thanks for the review Juliane, nice one! Since you reviewed the RE 411, how do you feel between these two?

Looks great without the white plastic on it ❤

new subscriber here from Philippines, very straightforward review and informative. Perfect to what I have to know for this CL500, hope to see this in PH, i;'m sure the corrupt dealers here will take advantage of this. I think this will be a good choice versus Triumph, Ducati scrambler.... yeah I know, displacements are far from these pricier bikes, but it's honda, I think this is a well balanced bike.

Nice bike. 👍

thks good bike for city.😊

They'll sell millions. Jury is out on the tank shape but I'm old school and would like the tank line to carry on below. But hey...by the end of the video it was growing on me. Not so much the muffler. Pity they couldn't shoot out two pipes. It would look wicked. I'm looking at a new bike. Had an earlier CB500X. Just can't go wrong. But the new CB500X (really like it) or this scrambler? Hmmm...I could travel and daily either. Great review Juliane. Thank you. Love from NZ. Ride safe everyone.

que increible moto

I certainly think it looks better with the off road extras ( handguards, mudguard and fairing) but what a shame they're not available in the same colours as the petrol tank. They just look like generic aftermarket add ons.

Looking at some frames of your video, it seems that the exhaust muffler does not cover the the complete top..some part of exhaust is exposed on passenger side. Really liked that you specifically addressed that part in your video. I was a about to comment that I might not be confident as a passenger with that exposed exhaust.

7:09 nice lookright there, I have the same heigh as yours so I can really use it as a ref, thanks

Another clip of my favorite motorcycle reviews. Until leading to the decision to buy a honda CL500 to be used to travel to work in a big city with dense traffic jams and not disappointed at all It's fun to drive it all morning and evening 6 days a week. I have a question What is the model of your riding shirt, brand?

Nice review as always, I really like this and would consider buying an orange one. One thing I did find odd is the ignition key in the side of the bike, very odd I don't recall seeing one there in a modern bike before.

Coming to the States in Matte Green and Orange for the 2024 year lineup!

dear its a great review , but from Ur experiment are that bike good for travel around a counters or just for the city especially its Tank fuel is too small to can go high way ? i.m Egyption from Cairo have Trumphe bike

ITS COMMING!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I love it! I hope Honda bring them to the states. They sell Rebel 500s like hotcakes here and once they bring their Scramblers, they won’t last a day in any Honda Dealership.

Nice, comprehensive review. Handy little bike and it did look good with the off-road/style pack. The only thing I did notice was how far through the stroke the forks seemed to sit, even with a lighter rider like yourself on smooth roads. I guess comfort is the name of the game, but I wonder how much suspension reserve the forks had under braking? Especially with a 100kg rider!

Which is better, Rebel or CL500? I am having a hard time choosing between the two. I prefer the CL500 but I think for the long run and longer trips with my gf on the back the Rebel is better. Can someone please advise?

For some reason reminds me of my old Honda XL 250 I loved and rode everywhere. Hmm, 500cc twinn, 6 speed. Maybe 🤔

in along with my previous comm are the Torque ( just 47 HP )of this bike enough to enable travel a high way ? thanks in advance

What kind of jacket did you wore in the Bike? Thanks

What about wind? Do you know if a screen is an optional extra?

Really wish they had an 1100 Scrambler. I ended up trading in my Rebel 1100 for a GSX S1000GT because I couldn't get used to the cruiser riding position...

Great review. Bottom line, would you buy this bike?

Awesome review! Great looking bike for sure. It would a great commuter and the perfect starter bike. It would be fun to customize as well. What color would you get? Best!

There's been examples of the engine case snapping in 1/2 on the 500's. They use the engine as a stressed member of the frame. That's OK if it's in the Rebel. But when people bring these off road, it's too much stress. A Scrambler needs a cradle frame, like all the dual-sports have.

Olen nähnyt kaikenlaisia esittelystä Honda cl500 mutta kertokaa onkohan pyörä enemmän enduro vai katupyörä?

Can anyone tell me why some bikes have silver radiators

The green one

How would the size be for a 188cm person?

Seen one and I ask why??; when the 500x is sleeker, more comfy, full size pillion seat. They have the exhaust up next to the passenger.

Nice review. Has anyone said you look like Princess Kate Middleton? :)

❤🙌

love from sikkim, gangtok.

Good

I guess if this gets successful then Honda will come up with their new 750 and/or 1100 engine scrams which would be very interesting...

Schönes Video, Danke Juliane 😊 Da hat es jetzt schon 32 Grad? PS: Dein Gepäck ist schon wieder weg? Das darf doch net wahr sein 🙈

Great review Julianne! Thank you. How’s the seat height? I am 5’4 tiny girl so a bit worried about this as I make my next bike decision. Hope someone can reply to me!

Will they come to Australia 😢

Imagine classic SL350 pipes on this. It would be TDF.

I'm shocked no-one has made like a shade for the LCD display yet.

Inspired by Royal enfield Scram 😊

Hi, again, off the subject. Have you tried Aprilia Tuareg 660?

I bet in 2024 it comes with twin brake disks in front. They should have made a 750cc model scrambler

che fikone🥰

Could i please ask what jacket you are wearing?? 👀

Hhmmm. Wonder if that seat will fit on the CB500X

All the manufacturers are pretending a bit much with these "retro" offerings. Honda's website description of a "high-mount muffler" is laughable. The headers run under the frame, so, any non-pavement riding will have to be free of rocks, logs, and ruts. That said, this bike is a giant step up from the Rebel in my opinion. I can't imagine owning a motorcycle that as no passenger accommodations. My teenage and young adult life would have been ruined with no way to offer fair maidens a ride on my motorcycle. The SCL500 rectifies that problem.

Honestly if you plan on doing light offroading/ gravel then why get a cb500x. I just wish the tank had a full shape instead of the chopped off Rebel like tank

There are so many cool bikes that don't seem to make it to the US shores.

Is ok for smaller persons not sure someone 6.6 will look right on it, is ok for Juliane, she can ride anything but a small bike is ideal as long as its got power/torque enough for her, 500cc should be ok,

Nice little Bike 👍🏻 but the gastank looks like a hat 🤔 thx for Presentation

CL500 or CB500X?

The extra seat does not fit properly and it is moving/wiggling. The pipe exhaust cover interferes with the heel and is fast-scratched/ worn by boots. Footrests are exactly in the place where you want to put your feet on the ground like on V Strom 650.

👍🏻😀

Love the look, but I am a bit concerned about the size of the bike as I am 180cm (5'11").

Hard to call it a scrambler, suitable for mild off road, when it does not have laced wheels. Chromed laced wheels would definitely make it look the part of a 1960's derived Honda CL.

Wouldnt the exhaust start to heat your luggage? Otherwise lucky you to be in Seville! Watch out for the sun😉

dunno about the bike but love the jacket!

Dear Honda we need this Scram in India

Slinging the exhaust under the motorblock is not acceptable for a scrambler!😂

I don’t care for the upsweep at the front of the tank. This style bike should have a more classic style tank. I just doesn’t fit the aesthetic.

Needs wire wheels and better suspension (usd) fork

It would look and perform better with wired wheels

I wonder what is the real world range of the gas tank.... How is it at highway speeds... Best cruising on the highway speed ? Seems a worthy competitor to the scam....
