I think the 500 is a very nice bike. I've done over 60,000 miles since 2017 doing deliveries on a Honda SH125i. It does 65 mph and 130ish to a gallon. I've just come inside having just changed the oil it's at 28,000 miles. Really long journeys I tend to do in my diesel smart car that always give me 500 miles to a tank, too much rain this time of year here in the UK. Only reason I would use a bike is if traffic was really bad and of course for fun!!! If I had a moderate commute I would consider using a bike, probably the 500 as it's economical. Fuel here is around £1.70 per litre and seems to still be going up. So seem a very calm rider, which I think is a good thing!

Would you say it's comfortable for 300km rides? Is it tiring without the wind protection?

I would add a windscreen for long rides. I never rode my bike that far so didn't need one.

I'm torn between this bike and a cb650r. It will be my first bike, got my license a month ago. is the 500f enough to keep me happy, doesn't sound like it cuz you are already getting rid of it. any suggestions?

The CB500F is a great beginner bike, especially if you just start riding. For me, it somehow felt a bit weak on the freeway. However, it doesn't lack of power or never felt boring. It's a super fun and nimble bike to ride. I decided to upgrade because I commute on the freeway a lot. If this is your case, I'd say don't go with the 500F. I'd recommend a 650 or the Suzuki GSX-S750.

different engine feel too. the 500f is a parallel twin which is punchier down low, while the 650r is an inline 4 which is smoother and has the power up higher in RPM

I have a Cb500f. It's my first bike and I'm very happy with it. Versatile, comfortable and not too fast for a beginner. I looked at the Cb650 too. It's got a four cylinder engine. Sports purists love it but apparently you need to rev it a lot to attain maximum power, plus there's reports of a dip in performance in the lower rev range. I don't know. I'm happy with what I have but, that said, had I bought the 650 I'd probably be happy with that too.

By the way, Honda have just released a new model, a Cb750 Hornet. It's like a beefed up cb 500 f, with that bit more power for highways etc. Check it out.

This bike or a 650 would be plenty I'd say.

You'll need to look at the CB500X at your size.
