I quite like the hornet,I was looking at a red one the other day 🙂. If you bought these you wouldn't get the chance to do your valve check video as there 16,000 miles!!😅
I loved my CB500X but sold it last week, to a guy who has just passed his test. Super reliable and never missed a beat.
I have gone slightly retro, with a Kawasaki W650, 24 years old with only 14,900 miles on. Love to see your biking videos.
Take care folks.
At the moment Honda has ONE good/price bike : the NX500, or if you can get cheaper = even better – the CB500X2023. Other Honda bikes are either half-baked, or overpriced. Honda actively, deliberately "neglects" their ( or even worlds' ) best MC development – the NC750X – which lacks some stuff to be the PERFECT bike for alllloooot of people. Well, as things are today – the NX500 IS the thing to go – if Honda is on the menu – but not for Jodie – too high 🤷♂🤷♂
If you get these / one of those bikes, don't forget to buy the rack for top-box ( obviously the box itself ) and the center-stand ! MUST have !! – at least on the NX…..
The "backfife" from the exhaust is on all of them 😁😁
A great adventure you two had, on this trip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video nick and jo the hornet does look good.
I like the hornets looks over the nx500s too
I am surprised you are not going for a Nc750, Fuel costs being what they are and how good they are for fuel
Vanilla Himalayan!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys, i have a cb500 which i love, mine is an early one on carbs
My cb500f was a lovely bike and it popped and cracked on the over run so it’s sounded awesome. They are so comfortable I done a 1500 tour of wales and is was great.
Can I just say… I don’t think Jodie got lost or poor sense of direction… it was Nick whom didn’t give clear instructions!
I was all for a cb500f or the new cb500 hornet for a long time, but decided to go for the 750 hornet because you get so much more at an affordable price difference, but you can't really go wrong with any honda IMHO, they know a thing or two about building bikes, even if the styling may be a bit boring for some, but it's substance, value and reliability i look for
Hi Nick. Got myself a CB 500X last year. Cracking bike, all I'll ever need. Amazing fuel consumption and tank range. Great on motorway and so comfortable and light. Toss up between this and the NC 750. Good luck choosing your next bikes 👍
Reading between the lines, NX500 for travelling and commuting, anything else for fun..? 😉 Great vid guys, love the banter and the opinions on the bikes.
The price of the NX500 here in Ireland is about the same as the TRK702 which is looking more interesting with every review…
Gotta love CJ Ball, I’m a regular visitor there lol I also bought the CB750 Hornet from there last year. You have to test ride it, you won’t be disappointed 😂
Right correct side, sounds like the movie a fish called Wanda😂
Now that I have full licence I might go with the cb500f its the perfect balance of lightweight, cheap and enough power.
The cb500x has too low of a ground clearance to be an adventure bike.
Good channel and like the banter I've got a cl 500 just sold me x11 but strangely don't miss the power
Woah, what did you do with your orange leather glowes Nick?
Seems I was lucky enough to find you again, nice to see you guys are looking through some variety. Good luck on the next trial.
Passed Mod2 other day like I told ya, and went looking at some bikes yesterday – NC750, Tiger, Tracer 7 and Hornet looking at 😀 just gotta decide what I am really after 😀
Great review guys and hello from Australia. Are they the same gear ratios on both bike? I have heard that the CB500X have a short first gear to help off road so just wanted to know if the Hornet 500 had a longer first or not.
It’s amazing to think what a better OEM exhaust would do for sales of the 500 Honda range. 1 company that has perfected it is KTM.
