READY FOR ADVENTURE WITHOUT LOSING ANY OF ITS CITY MANNERS

Often you feel like picking up a corner of the map and wandering, and sometimes you need a fast trip to the stores. For a lightweight bike that can perform true trips and all the journeys in-between, the Honda CB500X is a ride for you. The 471cc twin-cylinder engine provides easy-to-use power and plenty of torque. Light and strong, this bike shines on the backroads as well as on the city streets. Together with a sturdy styling, a long-distance suspension, a tall windscreen, and more, it's primed for adventure.

Offering plenty of midrange power and torque, the 471cc CB500X liquid-cooled engine features parallel cylinders and dual overhead cams. Tiny, small, and strong, it just strikes the right balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine is meant to be.
