2023 Honda® CB500X

EXPLORE YOUR HORIZONS

Don’t let anyone tell you that you need to ride to the tip of South America or across the Sahara to have a great motorcycle adventure. Adventure can be right in your own back yard—at least if you have the right bike. And one of your best choices is a Honda CB500X. First, it’s rightsized, not too heavy or wide. Next, it has legit adventure-bike styling, and an upright seating position. Its twin-cylinder engine is a spectacular choice for all kinds of riding, and it returns some pretty impressive fuel efficiency too. And finally, there’s its attractive price. Anti-lock brakes are standard, and so is a Pearl Organic Green paint scheme.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, the CB500X features a 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.

HANDLING

UPSIDE-DOWN FORK

The CB500X features an inverted-fork design that makes the front end much more rigid, for more precise steering input and feedback. The fork itself is a Showa Separate Function Fork--Big Piston (SFF-BP) design—one of the best in its class.

STYLE

UNIQUE STYLE

The CB500X just looks right—tough, capable, no-nonsense. Plus, the adventure-bike posture and seating position let you move around freely.

COMFORT

TALL WINDSCREEN

The CB500X’s windscreen offers excellent wind protection.
