Sven Olsen did a complete Rally Raid on his CB500X, then sold it to his brother for a T7 and loved the T7.
I own CB500X 2020 with some RR mods. I went to 2000 miles trip. Part of this trip was MABDR. This bike did it so well. No problems what so ever. I went to so called “technical” sections on MABDR. It was full of big rocks. RR skid plate took some dents there and protected my bike.
Really enjoyed your feed back and honesty. Will definitely look for more.
The rims on the cb500x are very strong so the need for spoke wheels is not so critical. And my cb500x is Rally Raided to level two and makes a big difference on and off-road.
You start the video about simple, straight forward. Really straight in weight and road manners.. yes significant differences between Tenere 700 and a CB500.. what Honda or someone else should do.. put this medium size twin in the frame cradle of a CRF250/450. Aluminum frame, 21in front wheel, great suspension and the missing link road manners and oil capacity..a bike you can go on a trip on and return without needing a top end rebuild and a new soul from being vibrated to death on the freeway. And then the bonus..a bike that is OK off road.. someone needs to make a bike that you can ride on and off road.. don't kid yourself..,450-550 pounds is not anything to do with off road..dirt roads sure but off road no
Thx for the great content - happy new year ✌️
I love your content! One thing to mention though your conversions to kmph are wrong on this and the KLR Q&A vid. 70mph is approx 112kmph.
The CB500X/F is a great platform. Had a chance to ride my buddies CB500X, I thought it was a blast.
Your channel has great content. I’ve ridden dirt a long time ago, been a street rider for 30 years. I have been looking for some time at duel sport or small ADV just to ride some hard pack and FL sand. Your content and reviews have helped me narrow down the field.
I like that you're honest about it, what's bad is bad, what's good is good. Please keep that!
thanks for the great video! Happy New Year
I love the QandA videos - really interesting stuff! Well done.
Hi, I'm an owner of a CB500X 2014 Rally Raid stage 2 (stock rims, 17" front). I've had it since 2016, when I bought it used without the kit from a Texan. I flew out and rode it back to California in four days (~500mi/day). I've since added the RR kit and plan to add the bigger rims as soon as they are available.
I think the main reason there isn't a smaller Africa (Transalp or Dominator) from Honda yet is Honda's fear that people will stop buying the big Africa. And my other thought is, when you think about it, it's a strange coincidence that the Japanese manufacturers don't seem to compete with each other in the ADV segment in a very direct way.
Hey Ian, thanks for your work! Your first vid on cb500x did a great deal in helping me decide between this, the T7 and the V-strom 650xt. And so, right about your publishing this second q&a vid I just brought home my very own cb500x, my2021, a demo bike from Honda with hardly 700mi on it. The improvements brought about by the 2022 model were not convincing enough for me to shy away from what ended up to be a fantastic deal (just over $6.5k) on a 8-month old bike with very low mileage, in like brand-new condition. I put on some minimal dressing (upper&lower crash bars, central stand, handguards, radiator mask and a 12v outlet) and I'm looking forward to weather impriovement. In trepidation...
Ian, thanks for another great review on 2022 CB500X, looks like another contender for an adventure affordable bike.
It's so funny, I've known Juan for a while as I'm a pilot and he's the best resource for all aviation accidents and incidents; now that I've started looking into getting a motorcycle, specifically the 500X, he's been coming up regularly with his adventures on ADV bikes. He's well worth a follow in any case!
Your channel & videos just keep continually improving. Listening to you today was a real education as it usually is - your bike knowledge and experience is extensive, especially for such a relatively young fellow. Anyway, slowly but surely working my way towards a purchase of my first bike in 40 years - & an ADV bike for certain. Like many of your viewers, trying to find that perfect product for my specific needs, assuming one exists, that provides not only the 70:30 ratio of "on/off road" riding that I anticipate in my future, but also within a budget I can afford. Great answers to some good questions today. I too wish Honda would make a middleweight 600-700cc Africa twin, as I would be in the same line, right behind you, waiting to buy one! Until then, looks like it will be either an NC750X with a Rally Raid suspension upgrade & a few other improvements, or an F750GS.
Great content Ian Happy New Year
