How is the CB500X in two-up riding and long-distance touring?
Opinions of the Honda CB500X tend to be split; while many like the versatility, some question the performance as a two-up touring bike. While the bike is perfectly capable of carrying a passenger and luggage for longer trips, some riders find the bike's comfortable ergonomics and stable handling make it easy to ride with a passenger and luggage. Some say the 471cc engine can’t handle the added weight, especially on highways and in mountainous areas. In this context, the bike’s fuel efficiency, wind protection, and seat comfort are also hot topics. Riders debate the CB500X’s ability to be a true all-rounder and do comfortable two-up touring or if it’s a solo adventure bike that you can occasionally carry a passenger with. As such, this is a question that often leads to others based on comparisons to larger, more touring-oriented motorcycles and whether it’s worth the trade-off between the CB500X’s manageable size and the capabilities of bigger bikes.
It’s ok for two up for weekend trips, but I wouldn’t want to do a cross-country tour two up on it. With a passenger and full luggage, it feels a bit strained.
