5000 Mile Canadian Motorcycle Road Trip on a Honda CB500X

- I bought my first motorcycle, a 2018 Honda CB500X and went on a road trip around Western Canada. My route took me from Victoria to Vancouver, up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler, east to the Rocky Mountains along the Icefields Parkway into Canmore and Jasper then back through Prince George, Prince Rupert and finally back to Victoria.
Read the full road trip report on my website: anthonyjoh.com/canada/
In a future video I will cover my review and full mod list that I've done to the bike such as exhaust, rally raid, top speed, off road capabilities, etc. Overall I'm happy with the CB500X as a beginner bike but I definitely feel that there are some limitations to this bike.
I made another video covering the specifics of the route I took. In case anyone is also planning a road trip through BC, this video might be helpful. • Tips On Riding Your Mo...

Amazing amount of camera angles and time. I just can't enjoy my adventure when living through a camera lense and worrying about getting shots. It takes someone with patients to do such an amazing video. You deserve a lot of views!
When I went to Africa I felt the same way. After I filmed the wildebeest crossing the river I realize that I never actually "saw" it as the whole time I was looking through my tiny viewfinder. 😆
This videography makes this adventure such a pleasure. It must be just a most remarkable memento to show to your kid and grandchildren or family and friends, much better than slides with commentary. I wonder, do you like this bike or would you want one a little bigger? Texas
@@papajeff5486 I like the size but want more horsepower for highway riding.
I know exactly what you mean, as someone who is perfectionist, I've done 1 road trip video on my other channel & I've never done one since.
I thought "oh being a youtuber will be fun" screw that, I want to enjoy my trips not be driving back & forth down the same stretch getting angles, setting up drones, worrying about go pro battery levels, find out I wasn't recording & have to do it over again.
I really respect the youtubers who put the work into these videos.
As awesome as it is, most of it is really "B roll". B roll makes a video more interesting and varied. However i think front helmet cam, looking back at the rider cam and audio commentary is enough.
Very nice demo video for the CB500X, you really get the full sound of the motorcycle.
Had a great time watching this, and feeling very inspired. Thanks for taking us along with you, the hard work required to bring this video together doesn’t go unnoticed.
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm leaving for a road trip next week so will have a new video coming soon.
The production quality of this is top notch, really fantastic. Great work
Wow, this deserves way more views and this guy deserves way more subscribers.
Looks like a wonderful trip! I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to safely ride again, until then videos like yours are a pleasant escape.
You and me both! Where I live I have another 4-5 months of rain before the weather turns nice.
Wow, awesome! Love your commentary, photography and since of humor. You are a class act! Also loved the horses!
Seems the bike did very well for you!
Absolutely inspiring! I've done some of those roads, but once is not enough. Prince Rupert and the ferry ride back is perfect. Great video work!
Totally agree! I'm already planning my next trip for this summer!
Your excitement was at the peak after seeing your childhood house. Western Canada scenery is awesome.
Video production quality is so high. Amazing camera angles, equally amazing conversational skills and exhaust note of Honda engine just adds to the charm of the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video! Wish I could have seen my old stomping grounds of PG more, but your video has inspired me to plan my own similar route for this coming summer! Thanks!
Check out this video. These guys spent a lot more time in that area than I did and now after watching their video I also wish I spent more time there as well! czcams.com/video/ebQIn2A875s/video.html
You are no stranger to video work and edit 👏🏻 This was really nice to watch...thank you so much for sharing this. Canada looks really interesting when it comes to more than just motorcycle travels. You storytelling skills are great. I'm taking notes here. Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks like you have a lot of amazing riding areas in Norway.
@@AnthonyJoh Yeah, Norway is quite nice to travel, I can highly recommend it 👏🏻
Great vlog, thank you. I've bought my NC750x this year and I'm looking forward to have a trip like this.
Thank you for uploading this video. so inspiring.
Ride safe.
This was a nice video to watch. You filmed it beautifully. I like the exhaust note of your motorcycle. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Anthony! What a great video -- I watch a lot of these and one learns to appreciate the ones that are done well -- great narration too!! I've travelled most of these roads on motorbike -- this sure is making me look forward to some motorbike rides in a few months.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm also waiting for summer to arrive so I can start riding again!
Thank God I come across to your channel. It inspired me to ride explore, experience something that will outlast it.
Excellent. I am in Central Saanich and have been thinking about taking a trip like this but always seem to procrastinate and never get down to doing it. You have motivated me to plan something for summer
Do it! Southern BC has some really fun roads to ride. I'll post another video soon about the specifics of my route as a number of people have asked about it.
Being married to a Canadian and having traveled on those roads and expensive BC ferries I can appreciate the time and effort you put into documenting your trip. I don’t think people realise quite how far you traveled and how bad some of those road surfaces can be. Kudos for doing it on such a small capacity motorcycle.
I’ll be travelling home to BC in a few weeks from my home in the UK, such a shame I won’t be able to do any riding as we’re in the depths of winter.
Love Vancouver island, such a serene and laid back place to live, unlike London. I can’t wait to revisit it and make my way back to Tofino in the summer.
Great memories last a lifetime.
Thanks for watching. Welcome back to BC, bring your umbrella as it's pretty wet right now. I can't wait for spring when I can start riding again.
One of my favourite co-hosts of the Bangkok Podcast doing something that has been on my bucket list forever! Great video Tony! The CB500X was on my short list but I ended up buying a Versys 650. These small capacity bikes are perfect for these kinds of trips! Hope to see more bike content from you 🤙🤙 all the best, Merry Christmas
Glad you enjoyed it! Depending on the travel situation next year I hope to do another road trip.
What amazing adventure!!!
I’m from north of Brazil and I love to ride on Brasil 🇧🇷 and 🇵🇪 roads.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed and inspired watching this! Awesome shots and great storyline!
Great footage. Very smooth and beautiful driving tour. Thanks for sharing
Just finished a week long trip through to the interior of BC. Did a lot of the first half of your trip. Thanks for taking the time to document.
Glad you enjoyed it! Southern BC has some fantastic roads!
Best in class photography. The editing is in a class of its own. And yes informative too. Waiting to see more.
Glad you enjoyed it, more videos to come as summer approaches!
You are great ambassador of this bike man! Lovely footage. Greetings from Bulgaria
My local Honda dealer has a 2018 with under 3000 miles on it! I'm seriously considering it to set it up much like this one.
Hello Anthony
That was a really fun trip you took us on. Thank you very much for that. Keep up the good work and enjoy exploring!
Best regards
Thomas
Glad you enjoyed it! I have another trip planned for this summer which I will film as well.
Awesome documentary Anthony. I loved the multiple camera angles. You deserve 100k followers.
Great video - love your lighthearted style. Man you crammed a lot into that 28 minutes!!
Amazing content, thanks for putting in the effort! Loved it
Highways 99, 93 and 31a are 3 of the top 5 rides in western Canada. I do almost that same trip every summer for the last 10 yrs. Never gets old.
So much fun!!
Great ride with amazing photography. Well done!
Oh dear. Now I feel like an adventure is due. My poor, suffering family 😂.
Thank you - a tremendous video with some outstanding and varied camera angles. Well done, sir.
The natural landscape route is wonderful. I love your adventure
Thanks for watching. My next trip is to Alaska so hopefully lots more amazing landscapes to see.
Awesome! It was great to get to know you and I will follow you fr now on.
Fabulous video of an epic journey. Can't wait till this is over so I can get up there and ride those roads.
Yeah me too!
Can't wait to get my CB500x and do this kind of ride. Enjoyed watching your adventure!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you Anthony great video you have helped me make a decision on my next motorcycle.
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent overview of some of the great BC spots. I also recommend Hwy 3. Lots of twisties and small towns between Hope and Waterton Lakes, Alberta. Really enjoyed your video and couldn't help thinking about how many cameras you had to set up and the amount of editing you did! Thanks for you efforts!
Highway 3 is fantastic! I rode that as a precursor to my trip. Very scenic through Manning Park.
Amazing footage from a fellow 500x rider! I'm impressed your ass and back let you ride so seamlessly lol I can't get more than an hour at a time on my 2020 500x. Thanks for sharing, very inspiring.
I bought a custom seat from Seat Concepts. Very happy with it.
I should have done that ride a few years back, I live in Victoria. I let work get in the way and put it off, not this time. Great video and thanks for putting it together and showcasing the beautiful roads, towns and scenery of BC. 🇨🇦❤️
Go this summer! Lots of great roads around southern BC. I'll be posting a video detailing my exact route soon.
just discovered your channel and WOW, you know how to capture a ride and adventure! Nicely done!
Thanks for watching! If you like check out my new series where I ride around the western US.
Great job Anthony.
Beautiful Canada 🇨🇦
Great CB500X.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards from Madrid 🇪🇦
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
Great video. I like the editing you did. I got inspired for sure to seek adventure!
Epic adventure! Loved all the different camera angles
one of the best times in life is riding motorcycle for adventure and enjoy the scenery..
I completely agree!! Those who don't ride won't understand it.
Very well made, love the storyline and the narrative!
Awesome thanks!
Your filming and editing is amazing. Great work
I've watched a lot of CZcams biking videos and even made a few myself and must complement you on the quality of yours. Best I've seen yet. Next stop Western Canada! Thanks
Thanks! Enjoy your trip!
Can't wait for this summers adventure........thanks for some inspiration!
Me too!!!
Thanks for this video. It brought me 2 inspirations: The Honda CB 500x motorcycle that should be my next motorcycle and a possible immigration to Canada. Good to know that we have the CB 500x in Cánada, here in Brazil it is a very popular bike! Brazilian hugs!
Thanks for watching. It's a fun bike for sure!
The exhaust has a nice vroeeeemmm to it! Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it.
Yeah I love it! The stock one sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
@@AnthonyJoh Mine is much quieter than my vacuum cleaner, hehehe
@@ljoelmchanley3676 Mine now isn't! ;)
Great meeting you at The Miners Delight in Atlantic City, Wy. Incredible cinematography, man! Can’t wait to see what you put together for this trip. Enjoy Idaho. The Lochsa and Selway is some beautiful, wild country!
Awesome meeting you to! Safe travels. I almost feel guilty riding a bike. 😆
I really enjoyed this video. Excellent job.
i love it i enjoyed every second.. i was just looking for a cb500x review, i am now dreaming to visit canada someday.. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching. I'll be posting a review video of my bike soon.
The production and video quality is unbelievable
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! I need to get on a bike again, and your video may have been the last bit of impetus I need to pull the trigger. I need to explore more of the province!
Do it! BC has some amazing roads to explore. Especially around the souther BC areas.
That was fun to watch. It looks like it was a great adventure.
Nice view, nice camera angles. Great vlog. Hope to be able to buy this bike soon too.
Great video. Really enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nicely done !!
I had such a blast on 31A last year I rode it twice in the same day before riding on. 👍👍
It's a fun road. So many great roads in Southern BC.
Awesome video 👍
from a fellow hoser🇨🇦, and CB500X (2014) rider.
Great quality video! It was great to see some of the same roads I rode in the summer of ‘21… “The Fun Way Around BC”
Glad you enjoyed it! So many great roads in BC!
A lovely video, thank you. I was interest in you comparing the Rockies with Switzerland. I did a road tour from Seattle through Kamloops, Banff, Jasper, Whistler, NW Vancouver Island and back to Vancouver. It was a great experience but I remember thinking that the Alps were better mountains which came as a surprise.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think the Rocky Mountain look better with snow on them. In the summer they are a little underwhelming.
amazing beauty and photography...great job
You have a such amazing travel with your bike. I hope someday to travel or perhaps live in Canada and see the beauty of the country. Cheers!
Had to give you a follow for such a fantastic video. Talk about fun, educational and oh i love the scenery
Awesome, thank you!
That was absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations, amazing video!.
Canada is beautiful!
We agree!
Nice video man!
The CB 500X doing great!
very authentic. I am beginner myself thinking of buying honda cb500x. Thank you for great insight. Keep the good mood :)
it's a great beginner bike!
Wow. Great trip. Canada has some beautiful scenery. Quite a bit different than what I am used to here in Texas. I enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro the videography is damn good .bg music is like heaven and the editing and coloring is top notch . I very much enjoyed this 28 minutes.
I loved it.❤️❤️🤘🤘
Awesome, thanks for watching.
Nice video dude! You got mostly great weather too. Riding through the Kootenays is fun. I grew up there and love that area of the province.
Yeah I really lucked out with the weather.
Felt like watching a movie. Excellent work 👏 i enjoyed watching every second of your video. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice tour. Great footage!
I love your joy about it all! 😄😍
Thanks. It was a fun trip!
Nice trip & Vdo. Thank you for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy New Year Anthony
Thank for capturing your big adventure and sharing with us. I can appreciate the time invested!!
I am getting the same bike as u this Spring and much excited to travel the Kootenay portion as u did.
PS We got lost trying to find the fire lookout last Summer!
Stay safe!
DWM
The Kootenays are awesome! So many great roads to explore in that area.
Very nicely done video. Good cinematography and nice story telling style. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. Wish you all the best for your channel and hope to see more content from you! 😎🤘
Thanks for watching. Hope to produce more motorcycle content this year.
My wife did her Graduate studies at UVIC. BC is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We have some WONDERFUL memories of our time there, some dear friends, and I love Canada almost as much as I love my Country.
I also own a 2018 CB500X. GREAT little Bike! It's PERFECT for me. I've been riding since I was 7 years old, I'm now 67 Years old, and "Speed Racer" is long out of my system, LOL! I still love to ride, and when I test rode my current Honda it was love at first ride! Its fast enough for the freeways, is a DREAM in traffic, and I would not hesitate to ride it across the U.S.
Funny you mention riding it across the US as that's where my next trip will be! Planning a 5 state road trip for this summer.
Congratulations on the video. Top notch.
Thank you!
Beautiful landscapes and a great bike for it!
Ótimo vídeo, ótimas tomadas de câmeras. Vi que usa várias. Cheguei até o seu vídeo pesquisando pelo modelo da moto CB500x. Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Obrigado por assistir!
Fantastic video. Greetings from Australia! My mum is a Vancouver Island gal, so we've spent some time over there. Always love taking the ferries.
Cheers, thanks for watching! Your mum is a long way from home! ;)
What a place! I’d like to ride through Canada with my CB500x (2018). It would be a dream for me.
I’m from Italy 🇮🇹 and I hope to visit these amazing landscapes in Canada 🇨🇦 one day. I’m envious of your fantastic journey Anthony!
Post more videos because they are outstanding and I’m really looking forward to watch them.
Thanks for watching. Italy is one of my favourite places to visit! I'd really like to do a motorcycle tour through Northern Italy. More videos coming soon!
Dude, have you riden the Stelvio Pass?
Beautiful scenery! Ride safe out there.
How do you have only 3.6k subscribers?! The video is absolutely amazing.
Wow amazing video and scenery. Really enjoyed following your trip. Ride and stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it

@@AnthonyJoh LOL

Just Subscribed. Very underrated channel, keep uploading!
Thanks for subscribing!
Great video! I just got a CB500X last year and think I'll do the same loop, but jump into it in Jasper. I've been on all the roads in your video before, but never on a bike, so very much looking forward to it, especially 31A!
31A is fantastic. Also the highway out of Vernon was a nice surprise.
Great ride Anthony. Stay safe always.
Thanks, you too!
The best motorcycle adventure movie I’ve ever watched 👏
Thanks I appreciate it!
Great video. Thanks. Good choice of bike for solo riding. Cheers from UK.
