What Is It?

The Honda CB500X is an A2 friendly adventure style bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 471 cc parallel twin engine, producing 46.9 bhp at 8,500 rpm and maximum torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine is a stressed member of the frame.

Features include:

• Steel tubular frame and swingarm
• 320 mm wavy disc up front with Nissin two piston caliper
• 240 mm wavy disc at the rear with single piston caliper
• Dual channel ABS
• 41mm Showa fork with 140 mm travel
• Rear pro-link shock with 9 level pre-load adjustment and 118 mm travel
• Manually adjustable screen over 40 mm
• 6 speed gearbox

It's basically the same bike as the sports CBR500R and naked CB500F, but with more of an adventure bike twist. Compared to the base CB500F there's a larger 17.3 litre fuel tank, 20 mm taller suspension, higher 810 mm seat height and slightly longer swingarm.

The LCD dash gives you the usual speedo, revs, fuel level, dual trip meters, fuel consumption and a clock while the 12-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 160/60 at the rear.
