Honda CB500X 2016

Honda CB500X 2016

Good wind protection, a comfortable, somewhat higher seating position and a relatively comfortable chassis make the CB500X look good even on long journeys. The extra price compared to the naked CB500F is therefore justified and well invested - especially as the CB500X remains unbeatably affordable!

Sophisticated looks

efficient windscreen

high speeds possible

fuel economy

Combined ABS.

The front single disc is slightly weakened when driving in a sporty manner.

For pure fun, the 690 Duke without the R is already sufficient. The potent single-cylinder engine is almost identical, as is the weight and handling, and the appearance is too similar to be a real selling point for the 690 Duke R.

Light weight

sufficient power

low consumption

No chassis adjustment possible

low comfort
