I just got the cb500x. This is the first video I’ve watched that pushes it to the limit. It did great! Good job showing me what my motorcycle can do. Y’all are awesome!
I doubt I’d ever ride it like that but it’s nice to know it’s capable. Thanks for the video.
I bet that was a heck of a work out, lol. Something about bashing through the woods on these adventure machines brings out their true potential. Great riding. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Yes yes yes! Good to see these type of videos again. Keep em coming!
Holy crap! Dude, you represented the CB500X right. Drove it like it was a DP bike. GREAT RIDING! Thanks for sharing 😎👍
"I'm sliding all over the place" I call that a sure sign crashing will ensue.... Glad you're out having fun. Amazing job keeping it on two wheels 99% of the time.
Ha ha. Thanks! ;)
That was an excellent bit of riding...
Ooh I'm out of breath just watching.
But you showed how capable the little honda is.. I've just bought one and although I'll never encounter such horrific trails, it is nice to know,,, that in an emergency, I could..
Thanks guys great video angles too.
That was the Best camera angle to make me realize just how exposed the Honda exhaust header pipes are when you ride uneven roads so i will definitely be buying a Skid plate.
Thanks Buddy
Fabulous ride along, fellas! I live in west Wales and even I reconised some of the trails from last year. Epic!
Thank you!
I like the video's, when you are out riding/exploring with your buddy.
Me too😊
Great video.
Keep having fun !!
great episode
sorry you crashed out man, i always take my favorite extras with me
cable ties and Gorilla tape can hold most broken parts temporarily until i get home
Anxiety lvl 10 watching this. I wouldn’t want to ride my CB500X on those trails in those conditions on road bias tyres. You guys did amazingly. Great vid as always. Stay safe. From the uk
Ha ha. Thanks man;). It was a fun day.
enjoyed this vid...imagined I was back on the road again...or mud rather!
Haha, hats off for taking those bikes on muddy singletrack, man. You’re nuts, but I like it!
Ha ha. Thanks!
Awesome trail looks like a little challenging when muddy nice views 👍🤟great vid!!
Thank you.
Greetings from Thailand.. thanks for the ride.
Impressive job on those road tires!
Good ole Rogers Camp! Easier with Knobs for sure.
Really been thinking about a little versys 300 but the sound of the honda alone makes me want to reconsider lol
Awesome video. Honda missing an opportunity by not making the 500 a little more dirt worthy with the middleweight ADV market so hot right niw. You're the best ambassador for the bike going! Admire your skills...but not your tires :)
Ha ha! Thanks;)
Nice, enjoyed watching that.
Right on brother, love the vid! 👍👍
Can't wait for it to dry up... I'm ready for some good riding.
Hey awsome video! And really wholesome with all the laughing, was a great watch!
Question: How did you record your comms chatter on gopro?
Thanks for these videos! Nice work! I'm stuck between getting the CB500X and the 390 Adventure, so these videos hit home for comparison. Still a tough decision though.
It is...
@Old fisheyed Fool I'm leaning toward the KTM. Cheaper with more options. The power isn't too far off from the Honda either.
The ktm has better rubber for the conditions,great job on the tyres you used 👍
Great adventure, really enjoyed, 500x held her own!
Thinking of purchasing the new 2022 model cb500x. Downgrading from a Triumph tiger 1200.
ive just had a similar adventure on my klr650 and the other was a dr650....unfortunately didnt have a camera to document our crazy adventure!
In Thailand, I can't decide between 3 Choices. Secondhand 500X mod (CRF250 suspension) or brandnew 390 Adv / KLR650. Can you suggest me?
@@Channel-lv2ot I'm the same but I'll take a DR650 over a kLR just because of weight. Im eyeing on the Honda too for reliability over the KTM
@@Dansk55 thanks bro. Now I ride CRF250L. It's good for me, but I want to go faster when go 500km+. I want lightweight dirt bike like DR650 (or anybrand 600cc+) but Thailand don't sell it.
looks like a lot of fun but id be so hard pressed to take my brand new bike out there, those are trails for the XR400 :-)
Try the mitas e07 tires. They'd be good for the riding you do.
Don t beat yourself up, you di great on the girl. Cheers and enjoy
Best video ever. Keep it up
Thanks! 👊
That's a lot of work.
ballsy to go on a trail with those tires but at least the crash bar is gonna see some use lol. I have a similar setup on my cb500x but I'm thinking about getting tires like TKC 80 for this kinda trip.
Crash bars got some use;)
I have some TUSKS bags that would look good on your bike...
Side bags and tank bag...
Good to see you out there again. Are you still commuting on the motorcycle? I pretty much parked mine at the end of October because it's "too cold" and we are a little warmer and a lot dryer than you here in central Cali. Mine drifts around on the less travelled loosely packed roads out here on the stock 80/20s. I'm at 6,000 miles on my 2020 and will probably make it to my first oil change on the originals. What tires are you running right now?
Still commuting here and there. Not everyday though. I have the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires. They are really good.
Nice video. Wanted to ask, how is that ICON helmet? Is it silent around 100km/h(around 70mph)?
Love it. No it is not silent at 70.
looks cold enough to freeze the walls off a bark humpy...lol. did you drop the pressure in your tyres? lov to see you send it with full knobbys. awesum.
Yes. One thing I didn’t mention. I dropped the front and back to 20 psi. Probably could of went a lil lower.
Got to love this motorcycle it can do everything it's sporty when you want it to be. Good for touring good for light trails. I always enjoy these kind of bikes more than sport bikes which are useless at everything but going fast. Which in the UK you can no longer do here. If you go over a 100mph here you'll love your licence straight away.
Which makes sport bikes redundant unless you want to take them to the track. Hotsellers in the UK now are either mini pre 500cc sport bikes. Adventure bikes or touring bikes. Naked bikes seem to be popular too.
Do you use stock tires? Love the video like always:))
Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires.
I am so torn between these two bikes! Ugh!!! I have to make a decision.
I did not see your gear bag listed. What is the brand and model of that dry bag? Looks like a good size.
KemiMoto brand. I’ll have a video up soon about it. Here’s a discount code. KMYTBA Good for 12% off. Here’s a link. I don’t have an Amazon link yet. www.kemimoto.com/products/motorcycle-tool-bag?CZcams&Oregon%20Motorcycle&F1116-02201RD-1&Agnes
What a great bike CB500X! I'm having it since Dec 2020 and already have been surprised it's off-road capability. Your video just took it to the next level even. Well done getting out of the hole there.
BTW, what's the rear bag you have ?
Ha ha. Thanks! Just wait till you see what we did yesterday 🤣. The bag is awesome. Check this out czcams.com/video/WobcLuLU3pM/video.html
Good effort boys, considering the wet, muddy conditions. Looked like hard work, but fun! What tires are you currently running on the 500X?
I think he's said in other videos he has dunlop trailmax
Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires;)
Very nice video! thinking in getting the 500X, i like how it looks and how it performs. Maybe you can try 50/50 tires and do the same road again.
I do have 50/50 tires. They are just a lil worn out. Time for some new ones;). I have the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires.
@@OregonMotorcycle Michelin anakee wild also a good option
@@larasep that’s what the KTM in this video has.
@@OregonMotorcycle Get those bro, and then a super video commenting and analyzing the differences
No suspension upgrades.? Whats your weight?? I've been in the market for one of these bikes for commuting and light adventure biking. I had no idea these bikes were single track capable without constant bottoming out or rock bashing.
Suspension upgrade on this bike is a complete wastes of money. If you need more suspension, you need a different bike;). I weigh 150ish. Usually carrying 20-30lbs of extra gear.
Awesome looking ride man! Fuck that tank bag tho huh? With the crash bars there are a lot of strap on options, or the sw motek one with the mounting plate. Also check out the continental tkc 70 rocks. I watch a lot of your vids and I bet it would suit you better then that trailmax
What tyres were you running on the trail? Considering the mud, they were ok and you did well.
Thanks. I have the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires with almost 14k! Time for new ones.
Thank s mate, sadly can t get them in Australia but great reviews. Keep up the great vids an happy riding. I ve been watching the progression in your riding and you re doing great, on a fun machine that s not great for anything, but good for everything. Cheers
I think you need to be in second gear, when the terrain is slippery and clumsy and stand on the pegs of the bike.i think you will be better controlling, it what i see right now, i don't have a lot of experience of that, but iv done that on a Yamaha 125 endurance, and it was ok.
Hangisi daha iyi?
For a taller guy with quite a weight (100 kg), what would you recommend? Older CB500X, but the model with smaller wheels, i think it is the 2017 one, or 2019 KTM? In my state, new CB500X Is too expensive for me now, but older ones are in my budget and KTM too. Thanks in advance and stay safe, this was a great video And Fun to watch
Thanks. If you plan on off roading I would go with the KTM.
@@OregonMotorcycle thank you very much, i will try to rent one for test and possibly buy one then
i love this video bro i want to do this with my bike
Do it!
@@OregonMotorcycle i will thanks and ill put it on my channel thanks for the support
Hey man I live In powers oregon would you recommend any trails near me ? Love the channel
I’m not sure of anything around there;)
@@OregonMotorcycle aye you ride out here man we could explore the logging roads and Johnson mountain with me and my buddy on his xr650l and my 22cb500x
Demmmm... pushing hard 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Which bike is better off road, and which is better on the highway?
Both. It’s all about rider skills or balls.
@@OregonMotorcycle Fair enough. But for a brand new rider (like me) looking for my first bike, planning on doing 80/20 on/offroad, which would you recommend and why?
I slapped some knobbies on mine with forks off a wr250r…. Game changer! It’s on my channel if you’re interested in seeing the changes. But these Cb500x bikes are awesome totally happy with it
Guys I'm over in Vancouver, with another 390adv. Let's meet up and ride!
Oh shit another 390 a. That’s like 5-6 in the Portland area now 🤔. Still can’t find anyone on a new CBX ;)
Great effort on those tyres in the mud. Still no bash plate?
Na. Maybe someday;)
@@OregonMotorcycle dude get a bash plate
I think for a such riding that you are doing some Honda CRF250 Rally would be more appropriate. I can see how you fight with that handlebars due to small 19 inch front wheel. Must be very exhausting.
agree ...and maybe some training wouldn't go amiss
@@lordflinty Well i assume you will agree that if you have not appropriate tires (90/10) and bike, training will not do much
@@NVK85 Actually training and experience will take you much much farther than a 2" larger wheel.
I see double the fun and building upper body strength.
Wow, nice! Is it fair to say the KTM handled that ride much better than the Honda?
Hello, I've just bough my CB500x! Can,t wait to get my licence to try it! Thank you for your videos. I wonder, what kind of communication system were you using to speak with your partner?
We use Sena 30k’s.
you bought a bike and have no license ummm ok
@@bofab521 yes, we have to start somewhere... I did my motorcycle course and now I got my license :)
in the part you get stuck why do you hold your front brake?? learn to use your rear on hills like that and carry a bit of speed dont stop like your scared
Where are these trails?
Brown’s camp area.
Maybe the wrong bike and tires on this wet trail
It’s all about perception. My perception says it’s the best. ;)
On my drz not cbx
Brave or crazy, not sure which ;)
😎
Time to step up to a 690 ?
Nope.
20:35 if you're here for the crash
Spill ;)
Why do you record yourself when riding? I want to see the track and part of the bike, not your head.
That tank bag is total shite mate.
Two heavier adventure bikes , two intermediate riders on wet muddy dirt tracks that only enduro bikes should be on , I wouldn’t want to take a four hundred plus pound adventure bike there , could get very expensive , lucky to have no broken bones but to each their own .
Pretty certain I have just watched both bikes and both riders make it and have a great time ... where are the rules that say 'just enduro bikes?
