I wholly agree, though I wouldn't say this is exactly an "ugly" bike either. The outgoing CB design fits better with the Transalp but the new one does match better with both the NC750x as well as stuff from various other manufacturers like the Tenere 700 from Yamaha and the Desert X from Ducati. And there seem to be a bunch of improvements in other areas to this one including that great new TFT display which is a terrific addition on a bike in this mid-size category and matching price range.
That screen is a massive improvement over the CB500X. The 180 degree firing phase of the motor is a deal breaker for me. I think the Honda NX500 will face some stiff competition from the CFMoto 450MT
I'm 5'4 i currently ride the 2023 CB350 comfortably with one foot down. I can put both feet down but cant flatfoot - 800mm seat height. Can i ride this bike? Its 830mm😂 I've heard that once seated it lowers upto 815 - 810. Thanks.
I would suggest getting down to the dealership to sit on one. So many people make this mistake and go by gut instinct or what they read online.... always try before you buy.
Maybe let’s see. It looks like the system may be compatible with a range of models but they will role it out bit by bit and see how popular it is before giving it to all models is my guess
I’m 6ft 3” and I rode it from our workshop to the dealership and it was really comfy. Geometry is basically the same as the old CB500X that this replaces and I used that over weekends and it was perfect for me. Hope that helps.
Mais vous avec oublié de mentionner que l'ecran n'affiche pas la température moteur comme sur tous les modèles actuels à refoidissement liquide . Je précise que je viens d'acheter ce modèle et informé Honda de cet oubli ! Si vous voulez connaître la température, ce n'est qu'en cas de panne de surchauffe d'après le manuel du propriétaire .Le service client Honda m'a contacté pour me renvoyer au manuel...
Now that's a balanced bike. City, highway, offroad. Perfect.
Could not agree more 👍 rode it this week and it felt fantastic to ride so I think we should sell a healthy amount of these this year.
Agree
I might get a lot of flak but I reckon the CB500X is a better looking bike although I do like the display.
same thought here
Agreed!!

do it all bike,, honda are really good at do it all.
I had over 10 beemers, some Honda's, this NX I realy want.. Great bike, I would swapp my GS1200 for it.
Good video. But i don't think you're on direct sunlight to check the screen's visibility
Being 6'3'" tall how do you experience the angle at your knees in relation to the seat height and the distance to the footpegs? Cramped at all?

The video contains only the left audio channel. Quite weird to listen with headphones.

@@JohnBanksGroup1974 Sound advice. 👍
Is this coming to America?
Colour between the tank and the fairing looks different shades
Very much considering this bike. Is the windscreen adjustable (with a tool; I don't expect on-the-fly adjustment), or is it entirely fixed?
I am unsure about this new one, but the old 2023 cb500x, wich is what this basically is a new version of, did have tool adjustable windshield.
The Nx500 has a fixed non adjustable screen,
Nice but pity about all the black-out and low Horsepower, compared to the new Transalp, 60 Bhp would proportional out of a new 500cc?
I'm only 5'7? Can this be a novice bike?
could this one get an e-clutch?

Will it be comfortable for a 6’2 guy?
