Honda CB500x

[Papa Weeley_imp]

Congrats on your new bike, Papa Weeley!

I'm coming to the CB11 from a CB500F, which is identical to your new bike, bar the ADv styling, slightly longer suspension and different tyres. I loved my 500. I had no plans selling it but the CB11 came along and, well, it was love and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I do miss my 500. It is a great bike. I put around 20k kms in the two years I had it, rode it almost every day, and loved all of it. It's very practical, yes, but also lots of fun. I chose it over the NC because I thought the engine characteristic was much more pleasing than the 700. I also had several trips two-up with my wife, and we had no problems, power or suspension/handling wise. My wife found it very comfortable. As for touring, I took that bike across the Alps twice and had a blast. Here's a picture from one of my trips:


Enjoy your new ride!

Lovely photo Alphonsus. You should post more.

Now you got me longing for a CB500 Papa and my budget says no.

Hahaha - sorry?
(Do it - they're cheap!)

Congrats on the new bike Papa, your going to have a lot of fun and maybe some of road

Thanks, CIP - I'm hoping to!
