Challenges may be similar to those for the CB1100 ... in North America at the very least, possibly worse with the issue of dino consumption being threatened every several years. The GB500 must be great on dino consumption.

Similarly, the late model Honda CB500X is supposed to be a "carefree" and economical, yet still fun ride. This is probably Honda's latest take on bikes in the class of the the GB500. Who knows? Maybe the CB500X is tomorrow's GB500.

For our generation I don't think the CB500X will be a classic.
But maybe for the current crop of new riders will feel differently in, oh say 30 years.

I wasn't thinking classic, but in the age of electric, probably all the models will become classics. For today, the retiring riders seem to be talking about these class of machines more than usual. |
