Latest Updates
Friday, 22 September 2023 05:03 AM

Honda has updated its entire big bike line-up for international markets including the CB500X for 2023. As part of the update, the model comes with a new color option called Pearl Organic Green. This color features on the fuel tank and partly on the front fender and is combined with black and light yellow.

Wednesday, 08 May 2024 05:23 PM For the 2024 model year, Honda is updating the CB500 series, including the CB500X, which will be renamed to NX500. The new model will have a fresh look, reduced weight, and new electronics such as Honda traction control and a 5-inch TFT screen. These changes aim to enhance the bikes performance and user experience. I believe these updates will make the NX500 a more competitive option in the midsize adventure bike market.
Thursday, 09 November 2023 09:20 PM Honda has announced that the CB500X will be replaced by the new NX500 adventure motorcycle in European markets starting in 2024, with a potential release in the US in 2025. The NX500 features improved suspension, lighter wheels, and new fuel-injection settings, along with Honda traction control and a 5-inch TFT screen. This upgrade should make the bike more capable for adventure riding. I think this is a great move by Honda, as it addresses several limitations of the CB500X and adds modern features that riders will appreciate.
Thursday, 09 November 2023 11:49 AM The Honda CB500X has undergone recent updates, including more robust Showa suspension and improved braking kits introduced in the 2022 model. These changes have made the bike more capable for adventure riding. Additionally, the bikes 471 cc engine is known for its midrange grunt and torque, making it a favorite among some adventure bike enthusiasts. I believe these updates have significantly enhanced the bikes overall performance.
Friday, 11 August 2023 06:57 AM The 2023 Honda CB500X has been praised for its suitability for riders of smaller stature, with a ride height of 32.8 inches and a wet weight of 439 lbs. It features a 471 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC parallel twin engine and a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The bike is ideal for road riding and light off-road use, although it lacks advanced features like multiple ride modes and switchable traction control. I think this bike is a great choice for those looking for a capable yet manageable adventure motorcycle.
Friday, 11 August 2023 12:43 PM Despite its limitations for heavy-duty off-roading, the Honda CB500X has a strong following, with many aftermarket companies offering mods and add-ons to enhance its capabilities. The bikes cast wheels and 4.3 inches of ground clearance make it more suited for road riding and light off-road use. I think the community support and availability of aftermarket parts are big pluses for this bike.

Discussions and Questions Honda CB500X

What is the waiting period for the Honda CB500X in India?
17 April 2025 09:08

There is no specific mention of a waiting period for the Honda CB500X in the provided sources. However, it is worth noting that waiting periods can vary by location and time, so it would be best to check with local Honda BigWing dealerships for the most current information.

How to improve the mileage of the Honda CB500X?
17 April 2025 09:08

To improve the mileage of the Honda CB500X, several strategies can be employed. Regular maintenance, such as keeping the engine clean and changing the air filter when necessary, can significantly enhance fuel efficiency; for instance, a clean air filter can improve mileage from around 80 mpg to 85 mpg or more. Maintaining the correct tire pressure and avoiding aggressive riding habits are also crucial. Riding at constant speeds, particularly on highways, can yield better fuel economy, with some users achieving up to 79.5 mpg on motorway and A roads. Additionally, optimizing the bike's setup can help; changing the front sprocket to a larger one or adjusting the gearing can improve fuel consumption, although this may affect pickup speed. Using high-quality fuel and ensuring the engine is fully warmed up before riding can also improve mileage. Minimizing accessories and reducing wind resistance by choosing aerodynamic gear can further enhance fuel efficiency. Finally, riding at posted speed limits and avoiding high speeds, especially above 70-80 mph, can help maintain better fuel economy, with some users reporting averages of over 90 mpg when riding conservatively[4).

What is the procedure for loan apply, and what kind of documents are needed for Honda CB500X?
17 April 2025 09:08

To apply for a loan for a Honda CB500X, you can follow these steps: - Apply online for credit pre-approval through services like Honda Financial Services or third-party financiers such as Roadrunner Financial. - You will need to provide details including the amount you wish to finance, your current and previous address , your Social Security Number , and employment information. - Use online tools to compare instant loan offers and estimate your monthly payments using loan calculators, which allow you to input the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term . - Prequalification can be done without impacting your credit score, as it involves a soft credit inquiry. Only a hard inquiry is made when you are ready to sign the contract. - Once prequalified, you can take the offer to a local dealership, test-drive the vehicle, and complete the paperwork electronically to finalize the loan and take possession of the vehicle.

Are there any exchange offers for the Honda CB500X bike?
17 April 2025 09:08

While there are no standardized exchange offers for the Honda CB500X, you can trade in your current motorcycle to a dealership as part of the purchase process. However, the trade-in value is typically not the retail price of the bike. Dealers usually offer about two-thirds of the retail price or less, and any accessories added to the bike are often not factored into the trade-in value. It is generally recommended to sell the bike privately to get a better price, but trading in at a Honda dealership might yield a slightly better offer compared to other dealerships[5>.

Can the CB500X get around for daily ride purposes and highway use?
16 January 2025 07:00
It’s not about the power; it’s about what you do with it. It's more fun to use 100% of this bike’s potential than 50% of a more powerful bike.

Honda NX500

The Honda NX500 strikes a balance between touring and adventure. Its 471cc parallel-twin engine delivers smooth, linear power. The upright ergonomics and spacious seat make it ideal for long rides. However, the suspension setup disappoints on rough terrain, feeling harsh and unsettled.

 A deadly beast on the road looks can only be given by the Honda CB 500x. The look, Style, And pattern are too killing and awesome. The chrome element with good finishing on the fuel tanks adds more charm to the bike. The price range is a bit on the expensive sidea.
