The Honda NX500 is a versatile A2-category adventure bike that is particularly at home on tarmac and has a lot to offer, from everyday commuting to leisurely tours. It has no major shortcomings, whilst offering many strengths, albeit not spectacular ones. On long journeys, you’ll appreciate the relaxed riding position and the good suspension, which performs well even on winding roads when combined with the improved brakes. Pragmatists will be pleased with the low fuel consumption and long range, and it even copes well with light off-road terrain.
