Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Honda CB500X is a versatile and appealing motorcycle that checks many boxes for Indian riders. It boasts a 471cc parallel-twin engine that delivers linear and tractable power, making it suitable for both city commutes and long highway rides. The bikes comfort is exemplary, with an upright riding position, a spacious seat, and a moderately sized windscreen that offers decent wind protection. However, the CB500X falls short in a few areas the rear suspension can feel too soft at high speeds, and the lack of advanced electronics like traction control and cornering ABS might be a drawback for some. Despite these minor issues, the CB500Xs overall build quality, smooth engine, and excellent ergonomics make it a great choice for those looking for a reliable and enjoyable ride. However, the high price point, especially when compared to other models in its segment, is a significant consideration that potential buyers need to weigh carefully.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Honda CB500X is priced on the higher side in the Indian market. Ex-showroom, the bike typically costs around 6.5 lakh to 7 lakh, depending on the region and any local taxes. Once you factor in on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other fees, the total price can easily exceed 7.5 lakh. This pricing makes it challenging to justify, especially when compared to other adventure bikes like the Kawasaki Versys 650 or even some of the more affordable options from KTM. The high price is a significant barrier for many potential buyers, despite the bikes many positive attributes.
