I believe the early valve check only applied to the first year (2013?) of the CB500s, when this was a new engine design.

Until I read this article I had never actually considered an adv bike based on the fact they’re all too large for me. This could change that.
Also.. >4L/100km is ridiculously good. Also glad to hear that it is better than the suzuki, given my allergy to suzuki. 🙂
Nice writeup!

I was considering one of the previous generation variants of the CB500 as my “move up” motorcycle, but I blanched at the requirement for an early and expensive valve adjustment. Have they addressed this with the new model?

In para 12 you say “illicit”, which means unlawful, though you meant to say “elicit”, to evoke.

Stock tires are soft and will need replacement by 10,000 km. Fun bike & light, enjoying mine so much I sold my 650 Strom.

Had the CB500X out for a ride yesterday on Honda’s “Come Ride with Us” demo tour. Really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms46RV8hXZY

Do like the 500X just too bad Honda didn`t provide more suspension travel and larger diameter spoked wheels, adding the rally raid products kit is quite expensive , not ruling it out though. Oh and that colour.
