Subjectively - more fun and satisfying to ride because you get to really crank them open and get closer to the limit, rather than having some power you never use.

I jumped from cb650r 2020 to cb500x 2022. Holly cow, what amazing bike it is! No regrets of switching bikes! It's great fuel saving (3L of petrol) all-round bike! Since we have extremely big fines here now (Poland), Im really happy that it switched. I never imagined that 500cc bike is going that much fun. This Honda brings everything what motorcycle feel is. It's totally NOT a bike for just newbies. It just open Your mind to adventure with burgling and bang sounds.. I really love it sound, it's fucking loud bike!

Hi Clayton! I've had a Street Twin for a year now. I commute frequently on it and I've done a couple of weekend trips. I've done 5000 km so far. I had a short experience with a friend's V7 III for a couple of days. To me they felt very different in ergonomics and character. The ST more planted and better performer, better brakes, amazing torque. However I can't compare to the new model with the 850 cc engine. I have the medium sized OEM screen, which is enough to deflect air from the chest and have clear flow on the helmet, and OEM heated grips (neat design and toasty hot). The seat is on the hard side but roomy for two. The tank is just 12 liters but it's quite frugal for a 900 cc (3.8 L/100 km on average for legal speeds). I downsized from a big ADV, wanted something different, I was totally sure 5 minutes into the test ride. Just ask if you want to know anything else, but you won't go wrong with either, both are beauties. Cheers

I just watched your video with Africa Twin, and then others where you talk after the accident and surgery. I hope you are completely healthy today and enjoy the carefree rides. My next bike is just one of the ones I watch on your channel, cb500x, africa twin dct and nc750x dct and the decision is really tough. Do you have any advice? Money does not play a role, I just don't want to buy the wrong motorcycle. One is not powerful enough, the other is maybe too high and heavy ... always something! haha

@Schaaf

I'm doing quite OK, thanks!! When money is not an issue I'd go for the Africa Twin. It is - just like all Hondas - incredibly easy to ride and the weight is not an issue at all. Unless you plan to do hard Offroad.

This is the bike I want to test out at least once my A permit is completed later this year (125cc with a car permit for now only here...). Hope I am not too short for it, seen mixed opinions on this area, but the bike looks really nice!

hey thanks for the low-key video and beautiful country. I'm kind of a new rider and have a couple questions for you (I'm getting a '22 500X in about a month): About 30 times during this video you give a flick of your throttle wrist once or twice. I'm wondering what the reason for that is. Is it just the acoustics, because it definitely sounds nice. Do you think it works out the engine or any components a little bit quicker, though? Is there any reason to do it is what I guess I'm asking. You're using a phone app for navigation. I've been hearing that the vibrations, even with the dampeners that quad lock and other mounts have, can do damage. And besides, if you get a phone call or whatever it seems like it's just a hassle. Have you ever considered a dedicated GPS router, like the ZumoXT2, for example. Yes it is 500 bucks US but I'm just wondering why as a serious rider why you haven't moved to something like that… Thanks
