Any CB500X / NX500's here? - Ollie - 09-15-2025 Yesterday I picked up a new (to me) other bike in the form of a 2023 CB500X. For years these bikes have been of interest to me and I've watched how Honda has refreshed the model every few years. With the 2022 update which included a second front disk and improved forks I started keeping my eye out for a decent deal on one but the few dealers that had them wanted full msrp plus, shipping, fees and I didn't want one that much.   Last week this used 2023 showed up locally on Facebook Marketplace and it was just what I wanted in accessories, even the color. It included Honda rear rack, center stand, radiator protector / light bar, and Bark Busters that were still in the package, and the bike has only 375 miles. When I brought it home yesterday it was a little dusty from sitting in his garage so here it is after a quick wash. I like the rad guard but don't care for it being silver so I think I'll spray it black. I may order a Seat Concepts kit and 16T sprocket to replace the stock 15T but that's about all I can think of.

I have admired the CB500X since I met a moto vlogging couple from Europe on a pair of them, riding around the world. They said the 500 was all the bike needed for their adventure.

RE: Any CB500X / NX500's here? - peterbaron - 09-16-2025 Nice bike, congrats Ollie RE: Any CB500X / NX500's here? - the Ferret - 09-16-2025 I had a 2016 CB 500x for a year. I thought it was a nice little bike butfor me it just needed too much shifting. Left off for any reason and you needed to downshift twice to catch up on speed.
