Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500X 2014

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.

Honda X-ADV 2018

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover motorbike. For the 2018 vintage, the off-road capability is underlined even more with the new G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT. However, the X-ADV's true playground is the country road, where it performs excellently and presents an ingenious mix of sportiness and a level of comfort that is otherwise only known from large tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.
