Thanks for watching
It is a special ride, and a very very easy handling ride to on the twisties. That’s why I’m getting one.:)
Lovely vid 😊
I know exactly what you mean about the enjoyment of chilled out ride , The CX ( in the picture earlier ) is a 40 year old version
It not only makes me smile but mates following me laugh too 😂😂😂
The best thing about bikes is the smile 😃
Life is not bad my friend 😂
I’m getting 1 ✅😊
Excellent video, Fish!
More please!
Thanks
The stock Dunlops on my 500F were scary even in the dry. They would slip on tar snakes. The only good thing about them is that they didn't last long. Sticky sport touring Bridgestones were a vast improvement. The bike is now awesome.
Totally agree with you on the tyres Mr fish, they fit the same type of tyre to the NC 750 X and coming out of corners even in the dry you can feel them squirm underneath you .. I think Honda have fitted a cheap tyre to a otherwise good bike ...
I'm thinking of getting one of these... I currently ride a SV1000 and over the sport bike thing. Great video, thanks dude.
Thanks for the video. I just sold a bike and am looking hard at this for my next one. The white plastics would look better on the black tank version. And black out the shiny bits, (guard, end piece on the exhaust muffler), or fit an aftermarket exhaust.
I like it. I hope Honds releases the CL300 other markets. It would be fun to see a Mr Fish review, compare and contrast of the CL 300 and CL500. Happy trails. Thank you.
Probably never come to these shores I’m afraid
Great Video as always, Great review.
I appreciate that
I took a royal enfield scram out on test and i got that same chilled feeling, loads of fun at a more sedate pace,.now looking at cl 500 as it would 2 up better, lots to like on these bikes,.my favourite bit is a proper rear mudguard and light set up, i do like the exhaust aswell, this would have epic with a 270 crank motor
If this had the option of a centre stand and the dash was actually readable, I would probably own one right now. The 500 motor is a gem and more than enough for our roads these days.
Can add a centre stand relatively easily
I'm not so sure. Haven't seen one designed for it but just buy a swingarm stand for the garage. I find the dash is just about the worst in class but I should just ignore it when I ride anyway.@@lewisallan9963
The dash is readable 99% of the time too.@@lewisallan9963
Nice review. I sat on this bike at the dealer and it was very comfortable. The styling is off for me. Dog's dinner springs to mind. 😊
😂
I’ve had a cb650r , 500x , nc750x but I’ve now gone for the cbr500r and I absolutely love it , I prefer the little 500 it’s more than enough power I don’t want to go stupid speeds so it’s perfect for me . 😃
Good choice!
How did you find the CB650R? I am torn between that and the CL500. Thanks!
@@ekostopoulos personally I didn’t like it , purely for the fact it’s a naked I don’t like the wind blast , if your ok with that it’s a nice bike .
Superb as usual Sir. Thanks 👍 🇬🇧
The shin problem. Just like on my SCR950. CL500: I'd just have the cowl and the side bag. If I wanted a 350/500cc bike, it would be the CL500. Nick J
this might be my next bike 😀
Fitted an anti-glare cover to the Speedo and this made it a bit easier to read. Never notice it buzzing so maybe the issue is with the bike you tested.
Where did you get the anti glare cover please?
5:14 the footpegs. Weren't some people complaining about the Rebel's 'pegs tucking your foot too close to the engine and becoming uncomfortable? I think it was something to do with the shape of a casing or cover.
It seems a great bike, I think I'd still prefer the Rebel even after seeing you hustle this along some very twisty country lanes! 🙂
Little legs ? 😂
@@Mrfish2015 😃Yup! 😃
Had a Rebel on loan when my 390 Duke was written off, hated it.
hello Mr. Fish, after 15500km on cl500 , i change to Conti Trail Attack 3......much much better than the dunlop....after driving 90000km on c125 super cub,i ll be very haply with this bike ...16000km since mai ...no problems...price in Germany now 5999€....not so popular....Frank, Duisburg
90,000 km on a 125 SuperCub? That's amazing
Dunlop tyres are generally crap anyway. Generally the scrambler niche of the motorcycle market makes no sense to me at all, just my opinion.
I can’t agree on the dunlops .. I run them on my twin ( not these ones though)
The standard bike does not come with the white bits.
Can this bike be fitted with a center stand?
I do t think so .. plus it would probably hang too low (catch on corners)
what setting did you have the rear suspension? - hardest setting?
I have no idea … it was as it came
How does it compare to the cbr500r?
It doesn’t 2 different bikes
Nice video.
It is an entry level bike but you still need to know your speed and have a good ear to know when shift gear.
Unfortunately when sun is shining is not good, so agree dashboard is not the best.
I would be nice to have more choice to rear racks for luggage soon.😊
My humble opinion
The clocks are definitely a bit of a pain to read
Ever get to Rykas Mr Fish?
A lot , it’s not far for me
@@Mrfish2015 hope to see you there fella
Most of the stuff you are complaining about are Honda accessories which is rather annoying as it's nothing to do with a stock bike.
Surely that’s a good thing then ..
@@Mrfish2015 Not when you fail to mention which are Honda accessories on your loan bike.
@@FairladyS130there are 3 vids on this bike if you skip to the last one ( this one ) then you wouldn’t know that I mention them in the first video … it’s all there
@@Mrfish2015 What happens is that the feed comes up with a video which I watch or not. When a reviewer mentions something in that video why would I spend time looking elsewhere to see if he maybe said something different?
@@FairladyS130 no worries sorry I didn’t cater to your needs , I thought you were a subscriber so you get things in order ..
86 mpg ? Um noway.
That’s what it said on the dash ..
Mr fish is right ive been getting 94 mpg and that's coming from a x11 so I know how to ride nice review
UK mpg are different than US mpg since they have a larger gallon.
It’s 71-72 mpg US. Still really excellent for a 500.
@@Thirsty_Fox that's a good point. I'd never thought of that when watching reviews before.
