    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.

    • @Octanetrails
      @Octanetrails  Місяць тому +1

      @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❣️❣️

    • @Octanetrails
      @Octanetrails  Місяць тому +1

      @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 ♥️

  • @suryateja2k11
    @suryateja2k11 Місяць тому +1

    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.

    • @Octanetrails
      @Octanetrails  Місяць тому +1

      @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.❣️❣️

    • @Octanetrails
      @Octanetrails  Місяць тому +1

      @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 ❣️
