Which is basically what it is but you have to remember that these updates, while hardly ground-breaking, have been done to what is already the established benchmark in its class. And that means the result is a bike that takes the already excellent Honda CB500X as a base (a bike that has won the Best A2-legal bike category in the MCN Awards a remarkable five times in succession) and makes it even better - which is no mean feat. While certainly not the flashiest of machines, although its sharp new look certainly makes it more visually appealing than the CB500X, the NX500 (which stands for ‘New X-over’ if you were wondering...) sells on the fact it is incredibly practical, comfortable and easy-going. A bike that is equally effortless to ride through a city’s streets, on a long dual carriageway trek or spiritedly down a twisty B-road, the NX is very hard to fault in any given scenario. Its parallel twin motor is punchy where needed as well as smooth and vibe-free while its chassis, thanks to the upgraded suspension and lighter wheels, delivers a lovely plush ride quality. Add to this a new dash that is wonderfully clear and has the ability to be linked to a smartphone as well as incredible economy figures and you quickly see why the NX500 looks set to continue the CB500X’s success. Unlike with some budget-conscious bikes, Honda haven’t skimped on the components that matter with the NX500 and you get inverted Showa SFF-BP forks, Nissin brake calipers (with ABS) and Dunlop Trailmax tyres, which makes all the difference to how the NX feels and responds. A bike that instantly feels effortlessly relaxed, the Honda is pleasingly narrow and has a riding position with comfort at its core as well as a reassuringly low 830mm (it feels even lower due to the bike’s narrowness) seat height. Everything just feels right on the NX and even its new dash (shockingly for a Honda...) is intuitive and clear to read with just a single backlit toggle switch to swap between functions. It feels like a bike that is has done its time and evolved into a final and very compete package, which is exactly how it rides. In town the NX’s light weight of just 196kg makes it easy to manoeuvre while on bumpy B-roads the Honda’s tweaked Showa suspension and new wheels deliver a wonderfully plush ride quality with compliance to absorb harsh jolts yet still enough support to prevent the bike pitching around when you want to be a bit more spirited. Honda haven’t seen fit to touch the parallel twin and it is identical in most ways to the CB500X’s unit, which is a good thing. Although they claim ECU improvements see it gain a bit of low-rpm acceleration and enhanced power delivery, you would be hard pressed to spot any difference and it makes the same A2-legal 46.7bhp with 31.7ftlb of torque as the CB did. That said, it does gain Honda’s traction control system (HSTC) for 2024, which can be deactivated if required. Not that there is any need to do so as it is a good system. Just like the rest of the bike, the parallel twin motor is easy-going and friendly to use and has more than enough power to allow you to keep ahead of any traffic. Flat out it will top 100mph but it is far happier to sit between 60mph and 70mph, which is around 5000rpm and right in the meat of its torque curve. Smooth and vibe-free, if you are in town the clutch action is lovely and light and when you need to work it, the gearbox is pleasingly slick. Some of its rival middleweight certainly deliver more top gear roll-on performance but the Honda’s engine has a proven track record for reliability and records over 60mpg, which is all you can ask for. The NX, just like the CB before it, is built in Thailand and not Japan, however this is no real issue as the build quality seems very impressive. Owners rave about the reliability of the CB500X and the updates Honda have done to create the NX500 shouldn’t do anything to harm this record.

im so happy you can change the screen to black, having a bright screen at night would have been realy distracting, this is the first video ive seen where they show off the screen functionality

@trailrider1980 The headlight of the NX500 it's definitely way much better than the Transalp's. Also the air filter it's under the seat. Still it's a different category bike suited perfectly for a beginner rider.

So, you're saying the engine is manufactured in Japan? By that I mean the engine is sent assembled, from Japan, to the assembly plant?

@IdealBike

That's what I've been told. Engine made in Japan and assembled in Thailand. Sometimes, depending on the factory production volume, some engines/bikes/components/erc. are sent to the other factory to discharge the production volume lines... Better logistics strategy I suppose

Do you have any information if the refreshed version of NC750X is expected?

The engine in the CB500X makes 47.58 PS and 43.2 Nm . On the other hand, the power and torque of NX500 stand at 47.5 PS and 43 Nm respectively. Honda offers the CB500X in 2 colours whereas the Honda NX500 comes in 3 colours. Plus more electronics.

Compared to a 2019 CB500X, there have been significant changes! The front suspension alone, with Big Piston Second Function Upside Down Fork, should have caught your attention. Also, the dual disc brake and the TFT display from the Hornet, now featured in many models like the CB and CBR650R, are great additions. Traction control (switchable) and an anti-hopping clutch are now standard. With a new headlight, rally fairing for better wind protection, and more, I believe they've significantly improved the bike. It's a shame you didn't notice, though.
