I have put over 33,000 happy kilometers (20,500 miles) on my CB500XA over the last 3 summers. My riding season is only 6 months long, and the bike is only used to ride the back roads in cottage country.
After returning to motorcycling after 25 year hiatus, I was concerned about buying a motorcycle this small. But this is great bike. Quick, light , nimble, and Honda reliable. If it looked more like the CB1100, I would probably keep it. I am not fond of the looks of modern motorcycles. So I will trade it in when my 2017 CB1100 EX becomes available.
