I just recently got a CB500x. It has a good amount of low end power for commuting. And the brakes are very good. I don't have much to compare it to since I'm a new rider, but I would say it's a great commuter bike.
Thanks for the video test drive. I'm thinking of getting one of these. If I wove in and out of traffic like that around here, I'd expect someone to open a car door on me.
Liberty4Ever Yes, it is quite shocking to see how it appears to be perfectly acceptable to lane split and weave like that in some areas and I guess it is actually legal in some places (but definitely not here). I would have been thrilled to do so 40 years ago but wouldn't have the gristle to be comfortable doing so now. Any time I ride another bike, the best part is getting back on my own, guess that means I made the right choice for me (ZX9R).
Oh God hwo i Miss my old 2002 BMW F650GS, rode it for over 5 years, did 400Km a week, 5 days a week. Was my first and only bike so far and the only troubles i had with her was a small back puncture once and a broken shift cable, so yes i had to put them clutch less shifts for an entire trip and they weren't easy. The sound got gruntier with the use but nothing compared to the nuda. Agile? Yes definitely on the city was a great bike :D . Had to sell it with over 60000Km Thanks again for the video
6:06 F*%KING STOP hahaha that made my day. Had a few of them in my past too when on someone else's bike. Great vid showing the difference from your bike to the BMW
This is my first and, so far, only motorbike (a 2005 model). Great for country rides and moderate off-road, fun and flickable in town, intended to be mild-mannered and affordable. Gas tank under the seat for low center of gravity on an otherwise tall bike. Single-cylinder gives it a bit of personality, pulls hard if you give it the revs. Wind screen sucks on the old models as well as the new.
Atleast it doesnt have a boxer engine sticking out on the sides :p But to be honest i dont get the BMW bikes, exept for the hardcore racers. Their probably good for Dakar, but when would you need it elsewere?
I got a used F 650 CS and the gear shifting really took a while to get used to, but I really like it now, its even got heated grips. I never owned anything other than single cylinders before, so I am not spoiled in that regard. The saddle is very comfortable too. The only thing I liked better about the Yamaha 660 was its easier maintainance due to all the oil in one spot. This thing needs to be taken apart a lot, just for the oil change. If I had to pick a new one though, I'd still take the Yamaha XT 660, wish I kept that bike.
always great to get to try out other bikes as well! Hopefully your BMW dealer will give you something more decent and modest next time. Like an S 1000 RR ;)))) Nice video!
Damn, you push so high the engine directly at the exit of the "spa". Come on, a guy like you know that 10 miles are necessary to heat up the bike :/ I'm almost shocked xD
his own bike is the 'naked' type of bike, so he does not complaint about noise while riding in general but his complaint was that this "windscreen" make it much worse...
i quite liked the 800/700gs's i guess it depends what you want out of a bike, i like long distance travelling and touring so 800gs is good for me - getting one next year.
Hearing you on this bike makes me realise how spoiled we normally are with the soundtrack of the Nuda.. Maybe with an Akro on it it wouldn't be quite so bad
there is sole in their... YOU... just have to unsmuther it... shackled & burried in all it regulatory constraints... have ride on an xmoto... basically the same bike but what a difference... set aside lazy prejudices... its been tidied down by mass market trinckets & safety... theres a real bike in there
Yet they make the most popular and arguably the best Adventure bike (the r1200gs) and they make the best literbike supersport (the s1000rr hp4). I wouldn't call that crappy
"Take the Nuda in for a service" - I imagine that the Nuda is returned to the monks of Husqvarna that cleanse its soul and allow it to meditate for a while by the clear pool. Meanwhile you get to ride around on a bike. I hope the Nuda is back with you soon.
My first bike was the original version, the F650 GS. Nice bike if you're looking for everyday riding economy but... overpriced parts, silly electronics, shitty gearbox. If some of you guys want to buy a trail BMW, please save your money for a R1200 GS. If you wish to have a 650cc trail bike... better go for the V-Strom.
I did my test on one of these, the difference between that and my 125 was just fucking ridiculous lol! Quite nice bikes but expensive I guess. Wouldnt buy one myself.
Sorry to tell, but that bike was so boring that even the recommended "NO FEAR FOR HUSQVARNA WOMAN - BMW MOTORRAD" video got me and I paused yours... :/ Missing your Nuda. Cant wait for it to return.
Seriously? You should have seen my face when i read the thumbnail. I was forced to drive a G 650 GS in my driving lessons and I hated it. My Monster 796 is better looking and a lot more emotional:)
My 650GS has a soul. I love that thing even when it burns the crap out of my leg. So good to ride.
compared to the Nuda seat, that was like sitting on an air cushion, total comfort :)
Love my gs650, feels very rewarding to ride!
I just recently got a CB500x. It has a good amount of low end power for commuting. And the brakes are very good. I don't have much to compare it to since I'm a new rider, but I would say it's a great commuter bike.
Never get rid of the nuda, because of your videos its ine of my all time favourite motorcycles
easy actually, you sit upright, good view ahead and the bars are not that wide. You need to change the mirrors though
Thanks for the video test drive. I'm thinking of getting one of these.

omg the noise difference, i had chills at the end! :D
you can adjust the screen up/down and a bit of tilt...
last time it was a 1200GS, depends what they have at the time. I don't mind either way as long as I leave on a bike :)

And they just updated those for the 2013 models, significant improvements.
Hi RJ!
What gloves are you using? really like them !
6:06 F*%KING STOP hahaha that made my day. Had a few of them in my past too when on someone else's bike. Great vid showing the difference from your bike to the BMW

Hello There, Its really funny price harm What's your opinion about it !!
Atleast it doesnt have a boxer engine sticking out on the sides :p But to be honest i dont get the BMW bikes, exept for the hardcore racers. Their probably good for Dakar, but when would you need it elsewere?
the husqvarna sounds awesome,nice one mate.
I got a used F 650 CS and the gear shifting really took a while to get used to, but I really like it now, its even got heated grips. I never owned anything other than single cylinders before, so I am not spoiled in that regard. The saddle is very comfortable too.

mine is!! got carbs and you feel the diff from warm to cold engine ,the weather and how youve drven her the last cuple of hours.
You sit higher than most cars, level with a Range Rover, you blip the throttle and the sound massages their internal organs, it looks and sounds mean.
How much does it cost? any what might ur occupation be, you dont have to go into specifics. if you would want to tell me
How was the motor for you Royal? If been interested in a Husq TR650, which does have that motor, but slightly more powerful.
Cops are on PIaggio MP3s over there, very cool.
I saw a guy riding a Nuda in Melbourne today, such a badass bike!
Is this the bike designed to fit within the categories of the A2 license?
it sounds like a tractor! is that the fuel cap on the side of the bike?
wow
that was a huge motorcycle
Bikes can have a huge personality.
was for me as the Nuda is a high bike, best answer is to try it.
don't mind them
I hear people say this a lot and I'm always intrigued by it. What do you mean that your bike is "emotional"? Can you describe that?
Hey RJ, do you like the front lights?
How does the Nuda allow you to dominate your area? It seems pretty compact! I'm very curious.
always great to get to try out other bikes as well! Hopefully your BMW dealer will give you something more decent and modest next time. Like an S 1000 RR ;)))) Nice video!
is it the same engine, but less pumped up?
the bike sounded very boring haha
Damn, you push so high the engine directly at the exit of the "spa".
Come on, a guy like you know that 10 miles are necessary to heat up the bike :/ I'm almost shocked xD
Hmmm I thought I would actually go one video without that beautiful sound. It was a scary first 7 minutes.
no, don't like the attention, what I missed was the way the Nuda helps me Dominate my area on the road...
his own bike is the 'naked' type of bike, so he does not complaint about noise while riding in general but his complaint was that this "windscreen" make it much worse...
that is actually one of the most out of context comments I have ever read. Try and think harder next time you want to be negative...
actually can be a nice break from people looking at you all the time :)
thank you!
And by the way, really enjoy your videos, keep it up! :D
i quite liked the 800/700gs's i guess it depends what you want out of a bike, i like long distance travelling and touring so 800gs is good for me - getting one next year.
If you can afford it just get a 1250 gs
Hearing you on this bike makes me realise how spoiled we normally are with the soundtrack of the Nuda.. Maybe with an Akro on it it wouldn't be quite so bad
Do you use a tinted or clear visor? :)
It must be very difficult filtering with this bike....I'm I right ?
The alarm will turn off automaticaly after rotating key into start position.
I really want this motorcycle
The only negative thing with this bike is the seat. It is like you're sitting on a plank.
I didn't hear anything, did the bike start or not :P
At 4:27 it sounds very agricultural. I haven't riden the G 650 GS (yet), but I'd probably go for the NC700X if I would only use it for commuting.
If u complain about noise from the wind while riding, then why did u even buy yourself a bike?
OK, nothing special. I know Husqvarna heavily rework those engines, so I bet they would be different, in a good way.
there is sole in their... YOU... just have to unsmuther it... shackled & burried in all it regulatory constraints... have ride on an xmoto... basically the same bike but what a difference... set aside lazy prejudices... its been tidied down by mass market trinckets & safety... theres a real bike in there
What bike would you get if you had an A2 licence (as in restricted to 47bhp/35kw [max power you can restrict is 93bhp])?????
The gearbox needs a stomp and the rev range is good have to work it - quipment is good and german.
Them things always sound like the big end has gone to me hehehe.
I can't stop @ 6:05!
I had a demo on a f800r brilliant bike.
obviously you don't ride or else you would know the meaning of that statement....
Yet they make the most popular and arguably the best Adventure bike (the r1200gs) and they make the best literbike supersport (the s1000rr hp4). I wouldn't call that crappy
i read your comment before watching the video, and you were more correct than i expected.. even my cbr 125 sounds better than that (i hope)
That's a great bike.. for normal people. :-)
It's as far from a Supermoto as a Harley is from a super sports :)
There isn't a BMW I would be even slightly interested in buying. It' a damn shame we will have no more Husky Nudas! :(
"Take the Nuda in for a service" - I imagine that the Nuda is returned to the monks of Husqvarna that cleanse its soul and allow it to meditate for a while by the clear pool.
Meanwhile you get to ride around on a bike. I hope the Nuda is back with you soon.
Alpinestars Alloy
london just london i love it this city!!!!
Wdym no soul 😢 they have one, only it’s one cylinder
hey royaljordanian, can you ride(review) Kawasaki Er-6f ?
Seeing you riding an other bike than the nuda is so... So... strange. :D
If someone volunteers their bike :)
chalk and cheese
It sounds like a diesel engine... :?
Can hear rear breaks screeching.
This new bike ? Husquarna what happens? :(
nice bike
Riding incognito!
That BMW has no oomph :) but still it´s probably a good quality bike.
How look driving bmw and nuda, differences...?
everything sounds like a landmower/kart compared to the Nuda! :D
Interesting! thanks for sharing :)
I bet you missed that roar!
People, Description is only one sentence.
It likely does have your answer if relating to the missing Nuda.
My first bike was the original version, the F650 GS. Nice bike if you're looking for everyday riding economy but... overpriced parts, silly electronics, shitty gearbox. If some of you guys want to buy a trail BMW, please save your money for a R1200 GS. If you wish to have a 650cc trail bike... better go for the V-Strom.
Agreed on this even thought I like his videos.
I'm afraid that liking and replace the Nude was :D Cheers
No scaring anyone with that bike!
And actually while I think about my previous comment, it is kindoff ironic when you think about what Husqvarna does mainly. :P
That headlight design gave me aids, however i'm not really one to talk.. I did buy a Honda CBR500R after all..
what you should have done is gone dirt-riding with it, and returned it absolutely caked in mud :P
She sounds... what's the word.... a bit agricultural lol. No doubt a great workhorse I guess!
Why do you shift without clutch?
I did my test on one of these, the difference between that and my 125 was just fucking ridiculous lol! Quite nice bikes but expensive I guess. Wouldnt buy one myself.
Sorry to tell, but that bike was so boring that even the recommended "NO FEAR FOR HUSQVARNA WOMAN - BMW MOTORRAD" video got me and I paused yours... :/ Missing your Nuda. Cant wait for it to return.
damn, is there even a bike that can beat the nuda? :D
hmm i must say , i like the bike alot!
6:24 why are you hiding the rev counter?
i think that was the speedo, was going a little quick??
rodbmw2002 yeah I meant the speedo
Possibly the least attractive sounding BMW bike. We lovingly refer to it as "the sewing machine". Still, I love my 2007.
Seriously? You should have seen my face when i read the thumbnail.
I was forced to drive a G 650 GS in my driving lessons and I hated it. My Monster 796 is better looking and a lot more emotional:)
