Good idea! But these are different as the Africa 270 degrees shifted twin while the Madagascar is 180 degrees. First one simulates a 90 degree V-Twin using balancer shaft as a must while the small one compensate the piston movement itself, by each other.

I love the instrument cluster display on the new 2019 500 series bikes. It's not enough to make me trade in my 2016 CBR500R, but boy do I wish I had that new instrument cluster.

After watching countless cb500x videos youre one of the 2 persons who shift gears perfectly, i noticed it because im doing the same technique, fast and flawles shifting.. and i would like to add that youre correct about adventure bike they are cruisers dual purpose, im sick of these youtubers complaining about power, how stupid they are if they want power get a sports bike a liter bike.. this cb500x is perfect in any way in his class.. btw i had 9 bikes before all honda.. im done with speeds pumping my heart out of my chest nah im happy to be alive its time to enjoy and explore hahaha, im eyeing on this one hopefully my 10th honda.. take care bro and pray before you ride, peace...

Mister Fish this is one of the best videos I have ever seen describing any type of motorcycle . I have the cb 500 f and I love it, it has enough power for me to enjoy... and to do whatever I please, thank you and have a beautiful life mr. Fish.🙏😊

Well sir, my cbr500r goal has now been kicked into touch by this video. My first big bike is now going to be the 500x. Thank you for changing my mind and making such a great enthusiastic video. 👍

Finally, thank you for talking about ergonomics!! I'm tall and find nothing but issues with buffeting and comfort. Pleased your comfy, chances are I will be so a road test wont be a total waste of time!! Thank you!

Thank you for the CB500X update and review ( comparison with older models )

Good honest review-cheers mate. This may well be my next "adventure" bike. Hope it likes forest trails, some log hopping, beach riding etc. Looks like with some good tryes, a bash plate, bark busters, rear rack and spotlights, this could be a real "go most places" adventure bike. Nothing too hard-core, just exploring with a grin.

Excellent review, very complete and detailed. I really like the way you describe the characteristics and the sensations that the motorcycle transmits. I try to do the same in my videos but your category is much higher. I can say without problems that you are an inspiration for me in this motovlog adventure. Thanks for sharing

Great review! Thanks for taking the time. I was sold on the 2019 NC750 DCT but your review and a couple others have turned my head a bit. I also appreciate that you start your videos with your size. We are similar, so I’m guessing it will fit me as well.

Very good comprehensive look around and also the dash, great stuff Shane uk 🇬🇧 thanks

This looks like a great choice. It's nearly impossible to go wrong with a Honda. This model is certainly one of my five top picks I'm considering. It's been an age since owning a motorcycle. I have had big and fast models. At my riper age, I am ready for something easy and chilled to get the job. Along with the simple pleasures of a nice ride. I did notice as on past CB500X model years, there isn't a bash plate. I have seen others complain about this. I am surprised Honda hasn't gotten the message on this as they did on the other changes they made for 2019. I hope an aftermarket bash plate kit is or will be available. I enjoy your channel. Keep it up. Cheers mate!

I would still love to get a new future CB650X : same bike as great CB500X 2019 but with a 650cc engine, front inverted forks, bash plate, spoked wheels & traction control to change my CB500X 2017. A smaller Africa Twin 700cc would also be great. Cheers from Montreal. Maybe i will end by buying another CB500X in a few years 🤗; quality/price/fun/reliability/agility ... is unbeatable!

Just bought one of these - from Dobles - would recommend them - they gave me a great deal and great service. My last bike was an NC750 which I used every day for commuting. Have to say the CB500X is an absolute joy to ride compared to the NC. It's comfortable, light and easy to manoeuvre, and has all the power you need for an every day bike. Plus, it has an assist and slipper clutch, which makes changing gear on the daily commute an absolute doddle. Honda should sell large numbers of these - absolutely great bike.

Because of the current lockdown situation in the UK, seeing one in the flesh was next to impossible so I've ordered one "blind" so to speak. It's the quantity of great reviews (of which this is one) that made me take a leap of faith, hope it lives up to expectation.

Yup.. you are correct there.. you can have fun on any bike actually, just back from a round trip of 1800km in Southern Thailand on a Vespa alone. I left my R1200GSA at home... and it's great.

Excellent review bud and totally on point, super Honda CB500X

Thank you. This video was what I needed, looking into doing my A2 with Honda and getting one of these but was wondering about the fun factor. I like the look and practicality but but still want to be able to fling it into bends and have some fun. I don't need power to have fun, I have plenty of fun on my cg125 and throwing that into bends.

I love this bike, does it all and in style, all the best. Awesome beautiful fantastik review.

Definitely one of the best reviews for one of these bikes. Tested a 14plate at the weekend. Never thought about one of these bikes just sold my gsx750 after 10 years n it wasn't getting used.getting to heavy and inline4 wasn't doing anything for me anymore. 2bikes on my list was the xsr700, royal enfield interceptor but after testing riding one of these it seems perfect for my needs. Never had fairing bikes before but have falling hard for one of these especially that engine,comfort and just how easy it was! Will have to test the other 2 just incase but list is on the top now

Great honest review fishy well done , love the bike

Hey Mr Fish, thanks a lot for your lengthy review. I had already been gazing at the CB500X when I started riding a year and a half ago but then since I live in Costa Rica I picked an XR250 Tornado from Honda that is essentially a carbureted CRF250L (with a bigger tank, higher seat and ground clearance and a few other differences). Now I need to part ways with Yuki (she's Japanese, white and what thy call a mountain bike in Spanish, so I called her "Snow" in Japanese) as I am going to move to the US and it won;t be legal up there. So of course I am on the market for a new mount, and not too fast a bike: I want to be able to stop on a whim to take pictures. I guess your superb review just made the decision for me.

Great review

I have been waiting for you to review this bike, Honda are so bad the are making it almost impossible not to have this bike in my life! :-)

Love the bike, I have the 2020 model and it really is brilliant, however the wind buffeting is awful so I tried adjusting the screen to its two positions, still hopeless. I then bought a much lower screen off e bay, (2015 model) loads better, far quieter and lovely clean air rather than having your eyeballs rattled. Try it, you will be surprised. Spot on review Mr Fish

nice review fish... Honda should give you one.

I think I'm convinced :) I'd rather be looking at the scenery than racing around on tour. Plus it's nearly 8k cheaper than the Tiger 900 rally pro with luggage. It would put a few £k in the kitty for a Sunday Triumph Bonnie too :) Nice review, it makes alot of sense.
