People do not understand how much importance weight management holds in a motorcycle. And I think Honda is doing very good in this field for all their bikes. I rode my friends CB350 and it is way way easier to ride compared to my classic 350. I kinda started regretting my decision to own RE after I rode that bike. Just this weight management can completely change the character of the bike and I agree with Bulu bhaiya on the points he discussed in his video.
But don't you feel it should have more low end torque , I was frustrated to know that you can't ride on low speed on higher gears like RE bikes . I can easily ride on 40-50s on 6th gear on int650
Very happy that a CZcamsr is finally talking about the importance of weight management because it is the most important quality dealt with on a daily basis. I am happy that you put a great emphasis on practicality rather than many useless factors as done by instagrammers(not riders). You are a true rider. I am tired of telling people that RE bikes simply put unnecessary strain in handling the bike when the engine is cut-off.
RE Himalayan sounds good for less price but wherever i go, the review of RE bikes are generally average or bad & Honda is well appreciated across the globe.
After owning gt and classic 500 for years, recently upgraded to interceptor and H'ness,,,,I can surely confirm that RE is no where in comparison with Legends like Honda... RE is just another piece of iron with stupid emotion and chunk of problems every now and then with mediocre service experience.... Honda has good research wing that puts lots of expertise which reflects in the bikes out.... Just don't teach me about RE.... Looking forward to sell of interceptor and go for transalp... Money is always not a deciding factor when feeling is priority...@@S-R-D7
I can see your passion for bikes… through all your videos… good detailed evaluation from evolution of bikes from your riding experience… “ JOURNEY “… definitely helps just not regular riders but also passionate bikers… appreciate your riding experiences of different bikes without which good evaluations are not possible… they are genuine and quite unbiased… wish you a very happy long riding experiences…
Bulu amazing review. Yea all set to book this bike coming December. This bike is a big hit in Canada. You nailed it 🎉. Dont stress too much on the bike horn, remember it’s a Hon-da. Take care man. My close friend Anand has a CB500x and it’s just amazing. This bike ticks all boxes. 😊❤
Hows is the servicing experience of CB 500 of your friend? I have heard that since the CB 500 and NX 500 have less sales because of the price point, the parts availability may be difficult to live with
I don't know if you tried Transalp 750, it was very lightweight too with enough power for luggage and pillion. i honestly think if one has budget and needs powerful lightweight adv then that's the one. beautiful bike. New to your channel and really enjoyed how well you explained every small detail you explained and how you explained it, such small things matter when buying such kinda expensive bikes. probably best review on nx500 imo. but I think twin cylinder has very different feel compared to single cylinder some might disagree but I strongly believe that.
Bulu bhai u are such a great motovlogger because u show the most important thing of a bike i.e practicality. U highlight the best things that a rider will focus on. Love ur work❤.
@Bulu Bhai, did you face stiffness in the front suspension and any issues while leaning the bike on a curve road? What after Market accessories available for the bike?
Hello @bullubiker sir, I want to upgrade from the xpulse 200, and I am confused between nx500 and vstrom800de. I know they both are very different bike genres but I need a bike which does it all onroad, offroad city etc everything for a very long time. I like the nx500 but I don't want ki after 3 years i get bored and feel like upgrading again so shall i buy the nx500 or stretch a lot and buy the vstorm 800 de?
Bulu I am one of your earliest subscribers, what a frank and outstanding review 😊👏👏 you have grown into a very very trustworthy reviewer, the aspects like weight balance and dynamics which no one else ever covers find so much weight in your videos, I have a AT and am looking for a bike for my son therefore the first thing I did was go to your channel 😎👍 keep up the good work and thanks a lot.
Thank you so much brother for understanding, when others feel I am trying to defame Royal enfield when I talk about weight management🤦♂️ People do not understand quality in motorcycles.
Bulu whoever says that doesn’t know what he is talking, you are not trying to defame Royal Enfield but indirectly pushing them to raise their game more to be able to compete with international bikes like Honda, I still have my 1990 500cc Royal Enfield with me and am a total RE loyalist, RE has definitely come a long way from our college days but still has lots to do to be able to come up to the standards of bikes like Honda or Kawasaki. You are doing them a favour if you ask me, not many with RE will have the guts to tell them the truth 😊👍 Be frank, be bold, be loyal to your viewers and we shall keep loving you and your content always, like they say- Bash on Regardless. 😎👍
Bulu Bhai, I was influenced by you for interceptor and I love interceptor. What do you suggest from upgrading from interceptor to this machine? Should I wait for vstrom 800 or ktm 890?
In the year 1999 I guess I had the only RD350HT in Bhubaneswar. Then one fine day I met another guy from Cuttack. Indian bike scene has improved so much!! Now I am thinking again and NX looks promising.
I did get a Dominar based on your opinion but now after 4 years feel the seating to be uncomfortable What is you suggestion, should i go for NX500 or get the Dominar seats changed to after market seats
Absolutely spot on... weight, torque, rev band and quality. But get this, what works for Bulu might not work for everyone. Take a test ride and decide.
LOL people who are comparing a 8.5 lakh rupee vehicle to an RE itself shows the desperation. With the price range, it should be compared with a Triump or Kawasaki. If Honda can bring down the to RE level, then we will talk about compitation kids.
Please talk about engine heating during crawling traffic and also it's an E10 compliant machine, E20 compliant machine is preferred in the current era of India
sir please help me im thinking of buying nx500 is it worth buying it im not thinking about money and is it obd2 ready or not should i go for nx or trk 502
Get off that piece of bad designing. If the bike is being shown as touring and adv bike and it does not have good weight management, say it like it is.
@Bulu Pattnaik : Bulu bhai...Please bear my weird question. If comfort from seat & suspension is the only sole parameter, which one is better out of this nx500 and the cb350 ?
Bulu bhaina Mu gute bike nebi bhabuchi kintu confusion ye achi ki mu fast bike chahunchi au highway ride pain darkar kintu budget problem achi 390 duke bhabuchi ta thu au value for money bike disuni kintu vibration katha bohut loka kahu chanti ta ra alternative husqverna bhabu chi please suggest
At What speed it starts heavy vibrations?, Can we do heavy off roading with it?, Comfortable for long tours? And compared to Benelli trk 502x which one is better?
Just to add on sir honda now owns showa and nissin I own cb 300r n I have done 1500 km highway riding n I understand what you are saying about suspension it's amazing how honda do it for tyres I'll suggest to look for Michelin anakee adventure u will be amazed by tht tyre I'm using tht in cb300r rear n it comes with lot of sizes for lot of bikes
This feels closer in size and feel to the ADV 390 than the Himalayan. All other flaws aside, the Himalayan feels a lot more substantial to ride. After seeing the NX, it made me want the Transalp even more. Save up for a few more years and go directly for the Transalp. That's a more complete motorcycle and reasonably priced amongst its competition.
This was a good ownership review albeit not very detailed. A few questions.. How is the spare parts availability? Is it still as bad as it was with the Cb500x? I don't think getting a bash plate for this is easy. And since it is a CBU, in case any parts need replacement in guessing we'll need to wait for a long time. Like you rightly said.. NX500 is a small, big bike. Whereas the 450 and 390 are big, small bikes. You made a good point. Bulu sir, it'd help more if you could share the service and maintenance side of things as well.
Parts we have to wait n see after some days, since this time a lot of buyiers r interested in buying this bike, so Honda may stock some parts with them, only time can tell this
Bulu I rode the previous model & was getting a lot of wind buffeting at speeds above 125 km/hr my height is 5ft11 in or 178 cm. Can you please comment on this topic please. I was using the Schuberth C4 pro ⛑️ so I did have a good aerodynamic helmet. This is only thing that has kept me from buying this bike. I need a bike that can I can cruise at 130 /140 km /hr for 100 + km in a stretch. The other option is CB650R but that does not have luggage carrying possibilities like the NX & more sporty riding position & more expensive to buy maintain, heavier etc. I have not yet tried the 750 NC which i think will also be a good option for my needs. Thanking You 🙏
Every bike and its brand has its characteristics, Honda is the master of reliability, and quality, there is no doubt about it. That being said RE is has its own characteristics, its consumers like metal, chrome, vibration and heaviness, of the machine. I remember people of my father's generation saying that the RE classic model released nowdays is lighter than the ones they bought in the 1980~90's, sound is not satisfying etc etc. so the comparison between RE and honda is between apples to oranges. There is no point in doing so!!!! Also Bulu da has a bias against RE which he himself mentions, so he disliking RE and nitpicking about them is also normal. Ultimately we must keep in mind about the price difference between these two motorcycle. Thus, proving that comparing these two is completely idiotic and makes no sense. Also if people think that a bike shouldn't have engine noise and have no vibration on the bike's body, then what would they say about BMW's boxers?? are they engineered less?? do they have less R&D done to them??
One of the negative I noticed on the bike is. Short handle bar length. Really I can’t believe why such small handle bar. The exhaust note is super awesome.
Again some problems are there. Showroom is saying if you book now, you will get next year. Import restrictions placed on imports from Thailand. Now bikes will come as CKD from Japan. Whats going on Bulu? Can you find the real picture?
Can you do a breakdown of cb350 and nx500 ,i understand totally different bikes and genre but in terms of comparison . Should one go for cb350 or nx500 .
What are you riding right now? Woh matter karta hain. Some people like the laidback posture of the CB, some like the aggression of the NX. To woh decide karna hoga.
Me too on the same thinking... Currently owing an interceptor. Will it becomes a downgrade is my only doubt or should I go for Z650 or Triumph speed twin 900
Considering our road conditions especially during monsoon, you're far safer on an adventure bike especially on long rides with a pillion. You don't have to worry about potholes, crazy road humps and rough patches of roads. Even during minor floods you're safe. These bikes only have weight disadvantage but Honda has solved this issue. Ye Gaadi actually best bike hai hamare country ke roads ke liye. I just wish it was below 6 lacs.
Hei? As per my experience I felt the gs well balanced. I have 390 adv, driven himalayan for 2 months, and rode yezdi adventure a lot too! The gs felt quite easy to make it straight.
Bulu bahi I have question not related to this bike in particular. I live in Delhi and the expressways around Delhi don't allow bikers. Is touring on an expensive bike worth with these kind of rules?
Sir in actual u don't have to ride big bikes faster to enjoy them, basically big bikes ride effortlessly at speeds where smaller bikes u need to put more effort
Bulu Bhai apka preference tha Reise ek mahine se jayda wait kiya mila hi nahi, Reise sirf social media per dhayan deta hai aam logo ko maal nahi deta h 😮 NX500 ka service cost per ek estimate type ka bhi ho kuch jankari
Bulu bhai I own cb350rs since sept 2022, should i go for this bike as iam looking for an upgrade in 2025? Is it worth upgrading to this? Also Strell bro said it is missing honda characters like the panels are vibrating, front is looking like a cf moto bike...
You'll be shifting to a completely new category of bikes, which is an ADV. You might want to try riding a similar bike like a KTM 390. Because the height, the weight balance, power delivery is completely different that the 350rs.
I have submitted a query on Honda big wing official website. Can you share your insights on them. 1. WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED SERVICE COST FOR FIRST 5 SERVICES OF HONDA NX 500. 2. WHAT IS THE REQUIRED JOB ON EACH SERVICE. 3. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF VARIOUS CONSUMABLES THAT ARE MANDATORILY CHANGED or ADDED ON ANY SERVICE. Thanks
Nice review. 2 questions. Is Suzuki V Strom 650 still selling in India? If yes is it comparable to that? I currently have Standard 500 and thinking to upgrade. So watching all your videos on YT. Even did a test drive. Just decision making is pending
@@BuluBiker Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully i should be able to decide :). Also please share your first service experience when it happens. Also any accessories you are planning to add?
Bullu ji aap ne new cb350 ride kiya hai uska seating posture straigh and comfortable hai nx 500 ka seating posture kiya cb 350 se comfortable hai ..though both are different segmen bikes fir bhi aap se sun na chahata ho.kiya lagta hai up ko pls give response
Bulu bhai mu bhabuchi 160 cc bike ru 500 cc pai upgrade kariba thik rahiba ? Gadi nebi jafdi kouthu kinile better rahiba, apna W B ru gadi ani Bengaluru re chalnti kich problem hueni?
Bhai budget re bahut bada jump heijiba, jadi budget issue nahi then u can think of this bike don't worry about power n all, u will slowly get used to any bike u buy, bash for the first couple of months try to ride slowly
Ha bullu bhai , only aap purchase kr skte ho because aapke pass andha paisa h 😂 but kuch logo k sapne hote h or woh sapne kuch company h jo pura krne ka try krti hai toh kuch kamiya accept krni pdti h 😊
Sorry to say Bulu Bhai we Indians are more emotionally driven and most of the time we follow the trend blindly but very few understand what you are explaining.
I think this will be the same story as that of the CB300R, which is also a great bike but Honda will find a way to cut down a decent amount later on and make us happy😃
Bulu bhai. I don't think Honda big bikes service cost will be on par with premium brands. As far as I heard, Honda is the only premium brand which has affordable prices to maintain a bike. For eg, I heard that gold wing service costs not more than 10k so in that case, NX500 should not cost more than 4k. Also you haven't told us about 1st free service at 1000 km as your bike crossed 2k km. Happy for your bike. Its a mile muncher for sure.
@@BuluBiker also this bike has become my favourite but currently not in my list. I felt the same weight balance issue in meteor 350 as well when compared to cb350 hence going with cb350 for it's reliability. Will clock around 1L km before switching to another bike as this is gonna be my first bike.❤️ Wish me all the luck. Lots of love to you❤️❤️
4k 😂 bro. For highness I am spending 15k per annum. What are you talking. 😢 Be ready to pay 25-30k. Tyre itself is 30k. Chain sprocket. Engine oil brake pads . No way.
Parts availability haunts all the Honda riders. The other day i met. Honda Highness rider who was forced to ride his bike for 2 months with clutch cable on the verge of dying. Buying this bike will be a pain in the @$$ in terms of long term ownership!
People do not understand how much importance weight management holds in a motorcycle. And I think Honda is doing very good in this field for all their bikes.

Yes sir weight management is the actual engineering in Bikes, for example is the Goldwing, its 430kgs but while riding feels like a small bike to ride
Yes that's the reason I stopped considering meteor 350. Going with CB350 highness
But don't you feel it should have more low end torque , I was frustrated to know that you can't ride on low speed on higher gears like RE bikes . I can easily ride on 40-50s on 6th gear on int650
It's interceptor, you can't do that on a 350 Cc RE
@@unnikrishnannambiar3904 you can , try it on Classic 350 . 40KMPH on top gear is easily possible .
Very happy that a CZcamsr is finally talking about the importance of weight management because it is the most important quality dealt with on a daily basis.

I think a lot of people still feel that more metal in a bike makes it better n stronger, they don't understand practicality
I've been waiting for this video since you bought it.❤
I'm also own Honda hiness 350 ,what a machine comprisin to RE classic love the Honda technology ❤

Bulu amazing review. Yea all set to book this bike coming December. This bike is a big hit in Canada. You nailed it 🎉. Dont stress too much on the bike horn, remember it’s a Hon-da. Take care man. My close friend Anand has a CB500x and it’s just amazing. This bike ticks all boxes. 😊❤

I will buy sure this month to see your honest review.
I don't know if you tried Transalp 750, it was very lightweight too with enough power for luggage and pillion. i honestly think if one has budget and needs powerful lightweight adv then that's the one. beautiful bike.
New to your channel and really enjoyed how well you explained every small detail you explained and how you explained it, such small things matter when buying such kinda expensive bikes. probably best review on nx500 imo. but I think twin cylinder has very different feel compared to single cylinder some might disagree but I strongly believe that.

You don't have to worry about potholes, crazy road humps and rough patches of roads. Even during minor floods you're safe. These bikes only have weight disadvantage but Honda has solved this issue. Ye Gaadi actually best bike hai hamare country ke roads ke liye. I just wish it was below 6 lacs.
Bulu da is the ride quality better than Himalayan ?
Thank you for review ..
Fanta....bulas.... Love it.
Bulu bhai, for a shorter rider, would you take this or CB350RS to Manag ride? I took GS310 and did not like it at all, very top-heavy.
Hei? As per my experience I felt the gs well balanced. I have 390 adv, driven himalayan for 2 months, and rode yezdi adventure a lot too! The gs felt quite easy to make it straight.
is it worthy upgrade from GS310?
Bulu bahi I have question not related to this bike in particular. I live in Delhi and the expressways around Delhi don't allow bikers. Is touring on an expensive bike worth with these kind of rules?
Sir in actual u don't have to ride big bikes faster to enjoy them, basically big bikes ride effortlessly at speeds where smaller bikes u need to put more effort
Dear Bulu bhai,
It has been 3 months of your ownership with NX 500. A long term review is awaited
Yes sir will make it after a long trip that I will be doing next month
can you please compare this with trk502 or 502x?
I am also a re owner , but i am thinking about getting a nx 500 within 3 years
Bulu Bhai apka preference tha Reise ek mahine se jayda wait kiya mila hi nahi, Reise sirf social media per dhayan deta hai aam logo ko maal nahi deta h 😮
NX500 ka service cost per ek estimate type ka bhi ho kuch jankari
Bhai why none of the new bike has the crash guard or Aux lights as advertised on the catalog!?
Bulu bhai I own cb350rs since sept 2022, should i go for this bike as iam looking for an upgrade in 2025? Is it worth upgrading to this? Also Strell bro said it is missing honda characters like the panels are vibrating, front is looking like a cf moto bike...
You'll be shifting to a completely new category of bikes, which is an ADV. You might want to try riding a similar bike like a KTM 390. Because the height, the weight balance, power delivery is completely different that the 350rs.
Now we want a video on Himalayan also picking it up from side stand without hands 😂😂😂
Wo nahi ho paatha hai bro, bahut difficult
@@BuluBiker 😂😂 damnn
I have submitted a query on Honda big wing official website. Can you share your insights on them.
1. WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED SERVICE COST FOR FIRST 5 SERVICES OF HONDA NX 500.
2. WHAT IS THE REQUIRED JOB ON EACH SERVICE.
3. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF VARIOUS CONSUMABLES THAT ARE MANDATORILY CHANGED or ADDED ON ANY SERVICE.
Thanks
Bhai chapters dalo if the video is so long. Helps in choosing what you're exactly looking for.
Nice review. 2 questions. Is Suzuki V Strom 650 still selling in India? If yes is it comparable to that?
I currently have Standard 500 and thinking to upgrade. So watching all your videos on YT. Even did a test drive. Just decision making is pending
I think vstorm 650 is not selling now, n its quite expensive as well. But I kind of like the versys over vstorm
@@BuluBiker Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully i should be able to decide :). Also please share your first service experience when it happens. Also any accessories you are planning to add?
@@gnprashi sir I have already done first service cost is about 5k
Engine oil oil filter n labour. As this is a cbu bike so no free service.
@@BuluBiker Thanks for the update sir. Happy Riding
Billu bhai ek maintenance cost ki video banao tyre change or chain chain set wagera service cost plz
Bullu ji aap ne new cb350 ride kiya hai uska seating posture straigh and comfortable hai nx 500 ka seating posture kiya cb 350 se comfortable hai ..though both are different segmen bikes fir bhi aap se sun na chahata ho.kiya lagta hai up ko pls give response
Bro seating posture is good in cb350 but compared to NX500, NX has better suspension n travel as well also the seat is better
Could you also tell about the service.... I was informed no free service and 6k service interval however the manual mentioned 12k service interval
There is no free service in cbu bikes sir, oil change services will cost about 6k and other services around 3k
How do the 41mm BP SFF Front forks of Honda NX500 compare with 43mm forks of Scrambler 400 ya Himalyan?
Showa India vs Showa Japan that is the difference. Quality vs quantity.
Sir how much is the on-road price in banglore ?
I love your comment "fighter plane nahi chalna hai " 👍👍
Weight management plays a major role while riding. Honda isthe best in this game.. i Guess
One Stop centre for NX 500 fans🎉
@Bullu Bhai did you get any accessories yet.... still trying to get crashguard...
Crash guard I guess you can order from bike n biker
No sir not yet, will visit Bikenbiker on Monday. But they don't have crash guards yet, so I may go with Honda crash ghards as of now
Bulu bhai mu bhabuchi 160 cc bike ru 500 cc pai upgrade kariba thik rahiba ? Gadi nebi jafdi kouthu kinile better rahiba, apna W B ru gadi ani Bengaluru re chalnti kich problem hueni?
Bhai budget re bahut bada jump heijiba, jadi budget issue nahi then u can think of this bike don't worry about power n all, u will slowly get used to any bike u buy, bash for the first couple of months try to ride slowly
@@BuluBikerthanku bhai
gadi ta Odisha ru kini haba ki ? Bengaluru re road tax bhut adhika.
1. ? seat height
2. ? Mileage
3. ? Price
05:09 being a short biker I know exactly what you mean❤
Ha bullu bhai , only aap purchase kr skte ho because aapke pass andha paisa h 😂 but kuch logo k sapne hote h or woh sapne kuch company h jo pura krne ka try krti hai toh kuch kamiya accept krni pdti h 😊
Why don't you purchased Honda CRF 300 L Rally which Noraly (itchy boots) rides. It's also a proven all terrain bike by her.
Bulu bhai leli maine nx500. 6000kms chala bhi li...
Ekdum makkhan 🎉🎉
The legendary honda 🌟🌟❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️‼️
Bhai Maine yah bike aapse do din pahle delivery Li, but abhi tak iska dhang ka koi accessories nahin mil Raha hai kya Karen
Sorry to say Bulu Bhai we Indians are more emotionally driven and most of the time we follow the trend blindly but very few understand what you are explaining.
Bulu bhai what is the yearly maintenance and insurance for owning Honda nx500?
Bro maintenance will not be able to calculate now, will take some time.
Insurance first one will be 35k
Second onwards should be about 15-16k
I think this will be the same story as that of the CB300R, which is also a great bike but Honda will find a way to cut down a decent amount later on and make us happy😃
Bulu bhai. I don't think Honda big bikes service cost will be on par with premium brands. As far as I heard, Honda is the only premium brand which has affordable prices to maintain a bike. For eg, I heard that gold wing service costs not more than 10k so in that case, NX500 should not cost more than 4k. Also you haven't told us about 1st free service at 1000 km as your bike crossed 2k km. Happy for your bike. Its a mile muncher for sure.
Yes yes I mean spare costs r cheaper than other big brands
@@BuluBiker also this bike has become my favourite but currently not in my list. I felt the same weight balance issue in meteor 350 as well when compared to cb350 hence going with cb350 for it's reliability. Will clock around 1L km before switching to another bike as this is gonna be my first bike.❤️ Wish me all the luck. Lots of love to you❤️❤️
4k 😂 bro. For highness I am spending 15k per annum. What are you talking. 😢 Be ready to pay 25-30k. Tyre itself is 30k. Chain sprocket. Engine oil brake pads . No way.
Please make a review on suzuki v storm 650
Parts availability haunts all the Honda riders. The other day i met. Honda Highness rider who was forced to ride his bike for 2 months with clutch cable on the verge of dying. Buying this bike will be a pain in the @$$ in terms of long term ownership!
