    Should we compare it with the Benelli TRK 502, Kawasaki Versys 650 or KTM 390 Adventure?

    No wonder Indian roads have an extremely high accident rate. There seem to be no rules at all on lane discipline, overtaking or positioning. Everyone seems to go where they fancy. I'm really surprised there are not even more accidents. The average European driver or rider would find this totally chaotic and extremely dangerous.

    When the ktm490s hits the road, it'll have shit ton amount of technology will have more horses maybe equal or more torque and might be affordable than this. Then honda is gonna have to cut the price like the bmw310s & Kawasaki ninja300. Or simply they can just discontinue it because "ab bikta nahi hei re😬".

    Great review and thank you! So, if the Honda CB 500X was only 25% more in cost than a BMW G310Gs, would the Honda justify the extra cost over the baby GS? And putting the difference in cost aside, and having tested both the baby G 310GS and the Honda C500X, which do you feel is the better bike overall?

    • @shadow_realm47
      @shadow_realm47 2 роки тому +2

      G310GS more nimble, slightly better suspensions, More recognizable premium brand.
      CB 500x better power band.
      The CB 500x is a better bike, no doubt but not if it is more than 15-20% expensive than the BMW.
      right now it is priced almost double of the BMW here.

    • @Pisceanboi
      @Pisceanboi 2 роки тому +2

      @@shadow_realm47 Thanks! I'm in Australia where the G 310GS is A$8,500.00 ride away and the Honda (2021 model) A$10,500 ride away. So roughly 20% more over the BMW. When the 2022 model is released I'd expect the price of the Honda to climb by a few hundred dollars as well.
      Honda has a great name for reliability and cheapness of service; some think it a bit bland and soulless. With the BMW you get access to their wide range or accessories, - not just the bike but the clothing and helmets etc, and BMW also run riding events in different parts of the country as well as off road training and BMW riders clubs. So there's a lot of additional 'extras' with the BMW brand.
      About the only real criticism of the G 310GS for countries like Australia, is that it is down on power to maintain highish cruising speeds on the highway. It can do it, but you are pushing it and having it revving constantly hard, where the Honda is more relaxed being a twin and with more torque.
      At least that is from review - I hope to be able to ride them both soon once the 2022 Hondas arrive, as we are slowly coming out of lockdown and able to test ride bikes again.. :-)

      @kpbhagwan Рік тому

      Benelli 502 is heavy, 500x is light
      Refinement of Honda 500x is way ahead than benelli
      Benelli seat is slightly comfortable. But that's alright with Honda
      Due to heavy weight benelli has a good road grip but makes it difficult to manauver.
      I think with price factor aside, Honda 500x is much better.
