Congrats on the new ride! Excellent choice. That bike looks like a great deal of fun. All the best with the latest addition to your stable. Be well, ride safe! Looking forward to seeing future content on this bike.
I love your new bike. I think that is a perfect replacement. Some of the things you might do for that retro look. Have the front fender chromed, get chromed mirror caps, and have the exhaust cover chromed.
Wow, that's very cool I got mine in the green color right after I saw your video on it. Good luck with it. I got 3,100 miles on mine and have no problems yet at all and love it. Greetings from the NJ shore USA.
Funny enough I knew on Friday what bike you had got. A little bird told me when I was looking at one of these in Doble's and I mentioned your previous review of it. Great choice and nifty colour 😊
A great choice, 🙂 great for the lanes and B roads in Mid Wales, I love mine, (blue as well), very economical and really good with the high seat, I raised my bars by 32mm to retain the OEM triangle, you'll enjoy it 👍 2 things I don't like (I've owned 103 bikes) the key position and the small tank capacity, but the set up is great for my needs, it compliments my other 2 bikes really well 😄 I've added Oxford Heated grips, mirror extenders, Givi Hand-guards, Headlamp surround flyscreen, 10" front extender fender (a must) Givi Tanklock bag, rear rack and Givi top box, ideal for all my trips out 👍
@@Mrfish2015 I have 4 sets (2 x 22mm and 2 x 28mm fatboy) risers, adjustable from 22mm to 50mm in height, that lets you play with the heights, I found 50mm too high, 40mm was just a bit too tight for the full lock on the clutch cable so I went for 32mm which is fine for clutch cable and brake line, and this maintains the oem rider triangle. 👍 The adjustability is a godsend as you can accommodate nearly all bikes, to your favourite position, got them about ten years ago from M&P, but haven't seen any for ages, they were ridiculously cheap @ £12.99 a set, sign of a cheapskate pensioner 😃
That looks awesome. I've had a GSXS1000 for 8 years and I'm really looking for something smaller and I really like the look of these. Wonder what the seat is like? Looks like it might feel like a wooden plank after a tank of fuel lol
Must admit I love mine…although wish now I’d added the higher seat. 5”10 and it does feel slightly cramped on a longer trip. Got mine as a winter hack…great wee bike! Is it a B road blaster for sure…did 80 miles up the duller the other day and she held her own. Fuel consumption is good too. I’m on A roads to work….roughly about 160 miles before the fuel gauge starts to flash. It’s does like to throw shit all over herself though even with a front fender extender 😂. For the money though you can’t go wrong 👌
Looks like a Hillary to me. I know exactly what you mean, I went down to a Suzuki 650 VStrom after a big KTM, my talent is now a bit closer to the bikes ability. Great demo of your little Honda, you just can't go wrong with one of them.
I had my money on the cb500x. Nice to see you went on a different route. Classy bike, can't wait to see it in more vids. And we'll get to see more of the super cub!
Very nice… bikes don’t always have to break speed records to be good and useful. I think it’s a good looking bike. I’d say perfect for what you want it for 😀😀
Nice choice of bike and a nice colour too. I did a test ride on this last year and enjoyed it from the instant I started riding it. I've owned a CB500X in the past and I was a bit surprised that the CL500 felt different to ride. I dont know if there are differences in the gear ratios or the sprocket sizes. I was also wondering if the CL500 is comfortable for the pillion rider.
At first blush I was going to say "but it's too low for you!" but you got the high seat and you had one for a spell - so you knew exactly what you were getting and you're thrilled. So, well done sir! :bow:
I saw a couple of CL500s at my local Honda dealer a couple of weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised how much better they look in the flesh compared to the photos and videos I’d seen. Not sure if it’s the proportions, but they somehow look a lot more substantial in real life than in photos. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it.
Good on you sir perfect bike for you considering your other bikes. It’s the engine for economy. Do you really need crash bars ? not a high seat use your legs lol
Nice. I like the look of this one compared to the one you test rode. I wasn't a fan of the high front mud guard. Can't wait to see it at the BOS meet up. 🚂🏍👍🏻👴🏻
Cool...Bet you change that fat exhaust 1st, lol...Definitely some crash bars, just in case you hit some ice in winter, lol...Oh and a wee rack....Nice one Mr Fish 🙂
Fender extender. Help keeping the radiator clean. Ever tried those handlebar mittens? I have a pair that I use on my Meteor 350 when it's chilly. As good as they work I imagine if I had heated grips also I could probably ride when it's absolutely frigid. 🥶😎
I was so disappointed when I rode a CL, I love my 500F and really want to replace it with an X, my wife has the Rebel, which I’m not a fan of, it feels too long as does the CL. A feeling that is confirmed by the longer wheelbase. Instead of feeling like a scrambler, it feels like a Rebel with a tall seat. Triumph has embarrassed Honda on how to make a scrambler and it’s 400 is heaps cheaper too!
NICE. i feel like there's a huge lack of content on this bike. I have been considering buying one and building into a supermoto style bike. K-speed has some really trick bits that would really liven up the bike.
Well I never a 500 scrambler!! A bike that has not grabbed my attention until now,big change for me would be the end can and hoping its on your list cos it will be a good face lift plus also these bikes don't seem popular I may be wrong( after all I am married and hear it a lot) but deals may be had given its lack of sales we'll see. Any way think you will do it proud. Hurry up and start moding. 😊

It's a Honda 😊 worth every penny.
This bike can live happily on all roads.
Well said!
Love Doble Motorcycle team each department treats us customers very well indeed.
I agree 🙌

Excellent! Pleased for you bud, enjoy
Fantastic and a stunning colour. Enjoy 👍
Lovely!👍
Nice one fish...cool machine I think...😊
Looks great!
I wonder if the exhaust will roast the arse in summertime. Enjoy the bike.
No it won't .
@@WyreForestBiker never rode a bike with a high placed exhaust
Happy new bike day,enjoy. 👍🏻
Wow, that's very cool I got mine in the green color right after I saw your video on it.
Good luck with it.
I got 3,100 miles on mine and have no problems yet at all and love it.
Greetings from the NJ shore USA.
That’s great to know , glad you’re liking it 🙌
Yep, didn't expect it. Looking forwards to seeing more of it though 👍
Nice bike! Love new bike day.
What a beauty! Wishing you all the best 😊
Thank you! You too!

Nice looking bike fish enjoy
Nice choice hope you have a lot of fun with your new bike.
Thanks , I’m sure I will
I like these, I'd probably get orange. Fender extender, bar end mirrors, crash bars, sump guard and side bag. Let's go 🌪
All good stuff
Great little bike enjoy and have fun I'm sure you will 😎👍
That's the plan! Thanks
Nice one Mr Fish , do like them CL's
Bought my ktm duke 390 from Doble motorcycles, great bike and customer service is second to none.
Great vlog and good choice bike. Ride safe
That looks awesome. I've had a GSXS1000 for 8 years and I'm really looking for something smaller and I really like the look of these. Wonder what the seat is like? Looks like it might feel like a wooden plank after a tank of fuel lol
Definitely needs bedding in 😂

Very nice! ❤ Good choice! 👍 Enjoy it mate. 😀
Thanks 👍
Best of luck with new bike
Lovely bike health to ride,,,,love your vids
Thanks 🙏
Nice bike and that bit of a different offering to the more common cbf and now nx500
Hi Mr fish , great new bike day and it looks a great looking bike and enjoy it and alĺ the up greyds you plan
Thanks 👍
Good choice 👍🏾
Nice mr Fish 👌🏼
BOX HILL! My old haunt 😂
Nice choice! Have fun with that.
Thanks! Will do!
Got one, love it!
Fantastic
Ridden quite a few Honda’s, they are good bikes to ride. Just often not got a wow factor, but they are surprisingly good.
What a day...
Good choice, having ridden it I can see exactly why you bought that. Enjoy👍
Thanks! 👍
I had my money on the cb500x. Nice to see you went on a different route. Classy bike, can't wait to see it in more vids. And we'll get to see more of the super cub!
The cub is on the bench getting prepped for summer lol
Nice one Fish
I like the bike. Sat on one at Vertu (where I bought mine) but not ridden it
Nice run around
Very nice… bikes don’t always have to break speed records to be good and useful. I think it’s a good looking bike. I’d say perfect for what you want it for 😀😀
Totally 👍

Can’t answer on the pillion but it gives its max torque at 500rpm lower
Love the colour happy your happy mukka
Cheers mate
Looks good
That engine sounds like a throatier version of my old CL350 from long ago.
Good choice. Nick
BlueBell the CL ...!
Hand guards ... Will be cool ... Great little bike ... and glad its not an Adventure bike that will never go off road lol
Who says it won’t go off road ?
At first blush I was going to say "but it's too low for you!" but you got the high seat and you had one for a spell - so you knew exactly what you were getting and you're thrilled.
So, well done sir! :bow:
99% of bikes are too low 😂
@@Mrfish2015So true..... :(
Congrats on the new beasty John 🙂
Cheers Pete

They do look better in the flesh
Rode one, loved it, didn’t buy it since a have a cb500x
Cbx is a great bike
That’s cool 😎
Mr fish I have got one of these in the same colour and the the versatility of this bike is brilliant bugger to clean though love your channel
Cleaning , what’s that 😂
Nice bike
Good on you sir perfect bike for you considering your other bikes. It’s the engine for economy. Do you really need crash bars ? not a high seat use your legs lol
My bikes fall over from time to time 😂
Nice. I like the look of this one compared to the one you test rode. I wasn't a fan of the high front mud guard. Can't wait to see it at the BOS meet up. 🚂🏍👍🏻👴🏻
I prefer it without too much
Hi yes all about the miles of smiles . Celia cL the blue Beauty. . :)
Rolley .
Love it!
I figured you for CB 500x kind of guy, but a lot of these are on sale right now and you’d be a fool to pass up
I’ve had 2 500x already so thought I’d go a different route
brilliant Mate!, as you say, its a cracking chilled out commuter, it looks like a "Clarence"
That reminds me of silence of the lambs 😂
@@Mrfish2015 wasn't she clarice 😅
Oh yeah .. same thing 😂
Cool...Bet you change that fat exhaust 1st, lol...Definitely some crash bars, just in case you hit some ice in winter, lol...Oh and a wee rack....Nice one Mr Fish 🙂
I’m not that bothered by the exhaust to be honest but you never know 😂
CL.... Clark? :))))
Awaiting delivery on my Hornet 500 and your vid on it did trigger my purchase. :D
Thank you!
Nice one , you’ll love it
Health to enjoy 😄👍
👍
Happy day new bike very nice 👌 you filled up with petrol? That will last to next year??😂😂
Not as long as the 125 😂
Hi Mr Fish good replacement for you for the Honda CB125F.
Nice bike
I’m looking for something around that size
This might be a contender as well now
Top choice Triumph Speed 400
Second choice Kawasaki Z500
I do like the look of that bike, Regarding the crash bars GET THEM ON NOW!!! knowing your rep lol
😂
Yo fish
Please report on exhaust heat. Curious whether an issue in warm weather
I had one for 2 weeks last year and never noticed anything, maybe more of a pillion problem 😂
Fishey, you are a total tease!!!! Joe.
😂
I feel for you mate, having had a Rebel 500 for a few weeks when my Duke was written off, good luck.
Why good luck ?
@@Mrfish2015 just hoping you enjoy it.
Ha ha. I thought you had one that fell apart
Fender extender. Help keeping the radiator clean. Ever tried those handlebar mittens? I have a pair that I use on my Meteor 350 when it's chilly. As good as they work I imagine if I had heated grips also I could probably ride when it's absolutely frigid. 🥶😎
Just ordered the fender extension.. thanks for the tip
def wasnt expecting that haha, very nice tho
😂
Lovely it makes you happy 😊
Ummmm CL = Chill or Celia 😂
2 for Celia so far 😂

Depends what you want .. it’s a lazy commuter for me so perfect ..
I had another ride on one yesterday and I kind of get it now. It did admirably on some dirt roads too.
NICE. i feel like there's a huge lack of content on this bike. I have been considering buying one and building into a supermoto style bike. K-speed has some really trick bits that would really liven up the bike.
I’ve seen the k speed stuff … looks good
yeah i do like the look of them nice bike just needs a screen and maybe some handguards
And maybe a few more things 😜. We need to get out mate
Thought you would have gone for the hornet 500.
It was tempting
I would get a sandwich with a new bike as well. I just get mine while the dealer decides whether to accept my offer or not.
😂 get the sandwich thrown in on the deal
@@Mrfish2015great idea for a dealership...buy a bike get a banger!
Looks like it's the rebel frame. Is there any significant difference between it and the rebel, other than the seat and muffler?
Subframe
👍
Why would they put a 19” front on a commuter bike?
Because they can ..
Deffo needs hand guards, but not those tacky looking white honda accessory ones.
Bark busters only for my bikes 😂
Well I never a 500 scrambler!!

Any way think you will do it proud. Hurry up and start moding. 😊
I kind of like the fact it’s not popular here .. I think it’s more popular around Europe
Hilda the Honda 🎉 nice choice
Hilda 😜
That's a Rebel 🤣🤣... for tall people! Tassels is what you need... colour coded tassels!
Rude 😂
@@Mrfish2015 🤣🤣🤣
I got the engine right 😅 I was surprised, as I weren’t that impressed with the one you tested a while back 🤔
Luckily I was 😂
I think these bikes are great, except for that exhaust, I need panniers for camping and that kills it.
Yeah limited for luggage
I'm looking to get back on the road verrrrry soon. Thinking Grom again. I work from home now so no commute. Just a runaround
Saw the insta pic … welcome back
Congrats. Chloe would be a good name for a CL.
🤔 maybe 😂
How's about ....CLeo
I like that 👍 one to consider
😳
Cecelia? Will she be getting a Remus? 👍👍
Do remus make one ?
@@Mrfish2015 Sorry, no idea. I always loved the sound of the one you had on your old AT 👍
Ha ha
Meh!. Haha, you'll love it
Ha ha
Looks like an *Audrey* to me.
😂 left field
If you like it that’s all that matters 😂
100 % correct
