NX500

Starting from $13,295 inc gst

The letters NX have a long history with Honda, thanks to the 1988-’89 NX650 adventure bike.

NX means “New X-over,” which is a perfect description for the NX500 (previously called the CB500X).

Adventure doesn’t require extreme destinations; with a bike like the NX500 it can start right in your backyard. Perfectly sized for a wide variety of riders with features like authentic adventure styling and an upright seating position, this is the perfect choice for those who are seeking all-around performance that doesn’t drain all of the wallet.

Fun on a winding road or a gravel trail, and ready to go the distance, the machine’s all-around credentials are reinforced with an impressive update to its adventure styling. The wheels are lighter, and the suspension settings have been upgraded to improve ride quality. The slipper-clutch-equipped twin-cylinder engine also benefits from the addition of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).
