The Honda CB500X is a very affordable adventure bike engineered for tackling both the urban jungle and light trail routes, providing a rewarding experience in both scenarios. Light, nimble and sporting a low center of gravity, the CB500X is easy to flip and handles like a dream, while the ample suspensions are great when leaving the asphalt behind.


The half-liter parallel-twin engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and provides constant torque and power across the whole rpm band, making the CB500X easy to operate even on rough ground. Add in the commanding upright riding position for more comfort and control, and the excellent range offered by the 17-liter tank for a bike that's truly calling for adventure.

The nifty Honda CB500X middleweight adventure bike receives  enhanced security by means of the anti-locking brakes which are offered as an option over the base specifications. When riding on asphalt, knowing you can stop in a shorter distance is a reassuring feeling, while being able to brake harder when riding in the wet as maintaining stability gives more peace of mid, as well.

The 2013 CB500X is the second-year model of the new middleweight adventure bike Honda introduced to fill the 500cc niche. This bike retains all the centralized mass-design of the family, and brings in several touring-worthy features to make life more beautiful when in the saddle.

==2014 Honda CB500X ABS==
[[File:honda-cb500-2014-2014-0_HHFSYaJ.jpg|600px|2014 Honda CB500X ABS]]


An all-rounder with a very prominent adventure character, the 2013 CB500X ABS benefits from the addition of anti-locking brakes, as an option. Road safety-focused riders will appreciate this add-on for their middleweight two-wheelers, especially as it only brings several extra pounds.


The CB500X ABS remains faithful to the family philosophy: a nimble, light machine which can do well both on asphalt and off the road, with great city-slicing capabilities and a highly practical nature, fir for both new and more experienced riders. Cue in the economical engine and you've got a super-sweet first bike.


==2016 Honda CB500X==
The Honda CB500X is back again for 2016 as it should be because it’s been one of the better sellers out of the 500 cc trio from Honda that include the CBR500R sport bike, CB500F naked sport bike / streetfighter and the CB500X adventure bike that we’re covering here. The CB500X was first released back in 2013 and I’ve got to say I was rather surprised to see Honda was throwing some upgrades & changes at the CB500X so quickly.
The CB500X adventure motorcycle gets a major boost to its crossover style with improved wind protection thanks to being able to adjust the compact windscreen to varying heights (plus it’s 100mm taller this year), other upgrades include a larger fuel tank that is carefully shaped to give the rider an unrestricted riding position, restyled LED lighting with a new headlight and tailight, spring preload adjustable front forks and adjustable brake lever. a hinged fuel-tank filler cap, front suspension that’s now adjustable for spring preload, and a front-brake lever that’s adjustable too.
==2017 Honda CB500X==
[[File:honda-cb500-2017-2.jpg|600px|2017 Honda CB500X]]
[[File:honda-cb500-2017-1.jpg|600px|2017 Honda CB500X]]
[[File:honda-cb500-2017-0.jpg|600px|2017 Honda CB500X]]
The 2017 Honda CB500X is coming with programmed fuel injection and many other features. With them, ride on the machine is smooth and excellent for longer trips.
==2017 Honda CB500F==
[[File:honda-cb500-2017-4.jpg|600px|2017 Honda CB500F]]

[[File:honda-cb500-2017-0_D445Oug.jpg|600px|2017 Honda CB500F]]
The new CB500F will be available with a 471cc DOHC engine– creating 47 HP (35 lb-ft). The naked CB500F sport bike gets a hard-edged makeover for 2017 with a more stripped down, muscular look; other upgrades include a larger fuel tank, LED lighting, spring preload adjustable front forks, new lightweight exhaust and adjustable brake lever.
