Great review bro ! I own cb300r and want to upgrade to nx500. The only issue i see with upgrading to nx500 is about servicing. The fact that it can only be serviced at Topline is big turn off for me. Please update in future if it can be serviced at all bigwing ss.
@mayurdepp Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❣️ I’m planning to create more content around bikes,maintenance tips, long tour travel videos, and more. The CB300R is a fantastic machine, and you’d absolutely love the NX500 as an upgrade. You’re spot on about the servicing issue. The biggest downside is if Topline doesn’t have the parts in stock, we might have to wait for days for them to be imported. While Honda bikes are usually reliable, any error code, unwanted noise, or engine light would mean towing it on a flatbed, which can be costly. That said, the regular servicing part doesn’t bother me as much since it gives me an excuse to ride 1,000 km for the service trip. 😁 Happy Riding, bro❣️❣️
@@vfxA9kin this ain't a beast. It's a proper adv tourer built for extreme long touring. 10000 km tour on this one is easy and this sweet parallel twin motor is known for its bullet proof reliability. I'm really eyeing on NX500. Hopefully I'll be able to buy this one in next 3 years.
@@suryateja2k11 even im planing to switch from my vstrom 250 to nx 500...because of service network im unable to take decision...i only like japanese smooth engines...im happy with vstrom 250 ,crusing upto115 ,butter smooth engine(31k kms done sill feels like new engine),low mantainance n good milage...feels bit low power on 4 lane highways.
@@sangamesh74 I think you need to clock more km on your vstrom is still in great shape. 31k is very less considering its a Japanese engine. BTW how much far do you stay from your nearest Honda BigWing and which city do you live in?
It took them 2 months to deliver it. But I don't think you'll have to face the waiting because when I got it, there were only limited bikes came to India.
@ashishkumarpachar960 The old KTM 390 Adventure already outclassed the NX500 in terms of features, and the new one takes it even further with even more advanced features. However, the engine figures don't stand out as much. Let's see how the new KTM performs in real-world riding conditions once deliveries possibly start in January 2025. Note: There's also the KTM bankruptcy factor, which I’m a little concerned about for KTM fanboys. Happy Riding mate ♥️
Bro this bike is a CBU hence the pricing is on the higher side. If it was manufactured in India, we would have got this one under 6L on road. And coming to features, when there is no ride by wire throttle how can we expect cruise control and riding modes? And don't forget its bullet proof reliable parallel twin motor. It's easy to ride even for a person who just started riding a 100 cc bike. Its that friendly in nature.
@suryateja2k11 Exactly, it’s a CBU, and that’s why. The demand for these bikes isn’t high enough yet for Honda to set up a manufacturing plant here. I know it doesn’t have ride-by-wire, so no cruise control, but reliability and refinement were my main priorities with the NX500. Honestly, it’s super friendly and nimble to ride. Even coming from a 100cc bike, the transition felt easy.❣️❣️
I am also looking for this bike from 6 months , everytime i am about to buy it ,the 7 lakhs just feels odd for this bike , will wait for ktm 390 r and then decide which one to pick up . I like features , my budget is okay to pick up this bike.
@rocksaidso I totally agree with your point 7 lakhs is indeed on the higher side. The old KTM 390 Adventure was ahead of the NX500 in terms of features, and now, with the new model getting cruise control, it’s even better equipped. But we shouldn’t overlook the key difference: the KTM is a single-cylinder, while the NX500 is a twin. Honda’s refinement and reliability are in a league of their own compared to KTM. That said, it all comes down to personal preferences and priorities. I’d recommend taking a thorough test ride of both at least 40 km each to truly understand, which suits you better. Happy Riding ❣️
@@Octanetrails I was about to buy 650 versys , but took it lil off roading and it didn't work out for me , i am 6'3 88 kgs so weight of the bike was not a prob , then did a test ride for nx 500 and fell in love with it but just the price , if it was 5.5 to 6 i wouldn't even think twice . It's a superior bike to both ktm and himi 450 in almost all dept . except switchable abs and riding modes and obv the price . Thanks a lot for the reply though . Ill wait till feb and see which one to pick up .
@@rocksaidso Versys 650 is also cool, and it’s not like it can’t handle small rough patches, but it’s definitely not like the NX500 because of the wheel sizes. Personally, I also have a soft corner for the Versys 650 in my heart. No problem, I'm always here if you have any queries.❣️
@philosopherlife555 nhi nhi bilkul bhi bekaar nhi h punchna😄 bilkul sahi jagah aaye ho, jb bike leni thi na tab maine cb200x bhi dekhi thi, bdiya bike h iss price range mein, mileage bhi bdiya h, 50-100kms aaram se comfortably touring kr skte ho, mere kehne matlab ye nhi h ki or lamba nhi ja skte, ese to bande splendor se bhi ladakh ghum aate h. Cb200x bdiya bike h aap kamse kam 30-40kms ki test ride lelo you'll understand. Dusri baat aap Honda ki bike lo to zyada features expect mt kro kisi bhi segment mein dekh lo aap, par jo reliability, smoothness, low maintenance cost aapko honda degi vo next level h. Mujhe to personally gaadi bdiya lgti h.
Yes, the V-Strom SX 250 is a great bike and offers good value for money. However, being a single-cylinder 250cc, it belongs to a completely different segment compared to the NX500. They cater to different needs and riding preferences. Happy Riding ❤
@ agree with you. Never driven a twin cylinder bike so can’t share my opinion on this. I’m a happy vstrom owner till 90-100 kmph performance is very smooth.
@ramesht7111 Ohh, my bad.. Im 6 feet, and my legs perfectly reach the ground. The only thing is a little concerning is when I sit on the air seat that I mentioned in the video, my confidence gets a lil low because my heal doesn't touch perfectly when I sit on the air seat, I'll reduce its air, that'll help for sure..
@@chiragladani2395 Bhai, baat bike ki top speed ki nahi hai, baat meri comfort aur riding style ki hai. Nx500 sirf speed ke liye nahi li, uska comfort, versatility aur long rides ka mazza lene ke liye li hai. Har kisi ka apna style hota hai, mera bas safar enjoy karne ka hai.. Ride safe bhaii🙏🏻❣️
Haha, no, I haven’t been to London. But with the internet, news, and foreign vlogs, you get a pretty clear picture of how things are elsewhere. The reality is that road conditions in India often fall behind international standards, which is why I mentioned it.🙏🙏
@WasimMirza9988 Bro, yes, ktm 390 adv is super feature packed, and nx500 is a little overpriced, but there are some things that make #nx500 different. Have you watched the full review video, I also mentioned why I chose nx500 over Ktm 390 adv, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and Kawasaki versys 650. The review is really detailed. You can watch it, and if you have any more questions and doubts... let me know. Happy Riding Bro🙏🏻❣️
@WasimMirza9988 I understand that everyone has different expectations from different bikes... some prefer feature packed, and some are more inclined towards smoothness and reliability. Congratulations in advance for your new bike purchase 🙏🏻❣️🤗
@bibbinbravoable Yes, it's a little bit pricey. It can be good for someone who likes refinement, smoothness, good range, reliability, and low maintenance cost.
Are you talking about Honda bigwing? I never heard about this anywhere. May be few dealers but majority of after sales service especially their premium range offers good experience. Btw which dealership are you talking about and where it is?
