2021 Honda CB500X Launched In India : PowerDrift

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Honda's CB500X is a motorcycle that Shumi's raved about repeatedly over the years. And now, it's on sale. Honda is opening bookings with the price set at Rs 6.87 lakh ex-showroom and deliveries at the Big Wing showrooms are expected to start in April. The CB500X is Honda's mid-size Adv and it's a simple motorcycle with a 48.5PS/43.2Nm twin-cylinder engine that displaces 471cc. The specs and numbers are basic but as Shumi loves to point out, the motorcycle does so much more than its hardware suggests! Actually, why don't we let the CB500X's biggest fan introduce you to what to expect from the newest Honda on the market? And yes, the price does seem high... even to Shumi.

    harsha viswanadha as Shumi and I say always, ride both the bikes and see what connects with you. The 390 is a capable tourer, but due to its high revving engine, heat will be an issue for long stretches. It is also not capable for hardcore offroading. You say that you already have a Himalayan (which is more capable than the 390 offroad) and want a bigger bike so a 650 is the ideal upgrade (not necessarily RE). Just giving my two cents on the subject✌️

    When Honda changed the front rim size to 19 inches, i took it as a direct response to the Kawy Versys 300, and it's all that took for people to consider the Honda CB500X for multiple use scenarios. I would still take the Versys for a more off road use because it's better suited for it, but the Honda is the best all rounder for the price. I'm still waiting for a response from Kawasaki, i mean, they have the perfect engine for it, the Ninja 400's engine pretty much was born to be put into a Versys frame, it has more torque, it's lighter, if they tune its power it could even be more efficient than the 296cc engine. Kawasaki needs to step up their game, if they make a Versys 400, Honda will no longer have the best do it all on the market.

Because I'm a little bit disappointed with them because they didn't bought the CBR250RR in India....which could make a very good sell in the market.....because the 2021 version of CBR250RR produces 40bhp......and if the ninja 300 can produce 39bhp.....so what's wrong with 250rr.......because 250rr also comes with lot's of features....3 riding modes....ride by wire throttle....all LED setup.....aggressive looks(I don't have any idea of sitting position though) then a beautiful looking exhaust.......🙃Honda should've bought that machine to India....
