Ever since its introduction, Hondas CB500X has been a breakaway favorite with riders. Thats no surprise to anybody whos ridden one: the CB500X is an adventure-style motorcycle that delivers comfort, versatility and a can-do attitude at a surprisingly affordable price. And to make a great choice even better, the 2016 CB500X features a bucketful of improvements this year.
You still get plenty of performance, and the capability to excel at everything from adventure rides to sport touring. The torquey 471cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers the broad-spectrum power that Honda twins are famous for, while the CB500Xs upright handlebar naturally accommodates a wide variety of riders. You can adjust the compact windscreen to varying heights (plus its 100 mm taller this year), and the larger-capacity fuel tank is carefully shaped to give the rider an unrestricted riding position. New for 2016: A restyled LED headlight and taillight, a hinged fuel-tank filler cap, front suspension thats now adjustable for spring preload, and a front-brake lever thats adjustable too.
The CB500X is an excellent choice for riders ready to move up a displacement class, or for anyone who appreciates a great middleweight motorcycle. And the bikes sharp, new styling this year makes a great choice even better!
