CB500X - 25K Km review
During my "Norway" trip I reached 25K Km so thought I'd do a short review to add to my previous reviews of my CB500x 2022 model, it was recorded in July 2023 This model has since been replaced by Honda with the NX500 which I have not ridden and I don't intend replacing the CB500x any time soon, but I thought it might still be of interest to anybody interested in the CB500x.
Bottom line is the bike has been a great bike for my style and pace of riding over the terrain and roads I travelled on. I hope you enjoy the review and if you do, a "Like" would be much appreciated.
Hoping you can "Like" the video, as this does help the channel.
All my best wishes, thanks again for watching

CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 39 - Home again
มุมมอง 2.9K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is Part 35 of my trip completing my 7 week journey and reaching home again. Having had a great day walking round Bruges the previous day I set off to Calais, via Dunkirk. I crossed into France somewhere along the way, but again, didn't notice where or when and arrived in Dunkirk. I had hoped to walk some of the beaches, but the parking areas I came across didn't inspire me with confidence ...

This is Part 38 of my trip continuing the journey on my way to Bruges. After a night of heavy rain and some sort of heavy metal rock concert blaring across the fields for much of the night I packed up and set off to Bruges, where I had already booked a campsite for 2 nights, within walking distance of the old town. I crossed into Belgium at some point but didn't notice where or when until I saw...
CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 37 - Lost in the Netherlands

This is Part 37 of my trip continuing the journey crossing into the Netherlands. After a great breakfast at the guesthouse in Bad Holzhausen, I set off in the direction of Bruges on another beautiful morning. A couple of heavy rain showers along the way didn't diminish the ride and even getting lost in a housing estate due to a road closure all added to the experience. I found a small campsite ...

This is Part 36 of my trip continuing the journey in Germany. I got up early and took a stroll nearer the town, managing to get some drone footage, before heading off, continuing west, through some beautiful German towns and villages. They remind me of the chocolate box lid pictures from my youth. I came through an area of very grey, pale brown trees, they looked completely dried out / dead, I ...

This is Part 35 of my trip continuing the journey crossing into Germany from Poland. I had a good nights sleep and a great breakfast before leaving the hotel in Zary, and today I crossed from the border town of Leknica, Poland into Bad Muskau, Germany. It is a small, unmanned border crossing with masses of what I assume were cheaper tobacco, fireworks and pottery products for sale along the roa...
CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 34 - Overtaken by a unicycle
มุมมอง 2.9K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is Part 34 of my trip continuing the journey still riding through Poland, but made the decision to start heading home which meant continuing West towards Dunkirk then onto Calais for the eurotunnel, but it was still 1400 -1500 KMs so a few days yet allowing for stops etc. Overall, a pretty uneventful day apart from being overtaken (actually undertaken) by a chap on a Unicycle while I was t...

This is Part 33 of my trip continuing the journey still enjoying Poland. I started the day with a walk around the beautiful and compact town of Kazimierze Dolny visiting the castle before heading off via a small ferry to continue the trip through Poland. Nothing much to report today, it was very relaxing and I stayed overnight in a small hotel near Kuznica Strobinska The whole journey took me t...

This is Part 32 of my trip continuing the journey through Poland. I intended staying 2 nights at the campsite at Jezorio Biale as it was a beautiful location, but the night club across the water was just too loud until 4am so I moved on. Stopping briefly in Chelm before heading off and through Lublin. The sun shone and I had a very leisurely ride through the Polish countryside before arriving a...

This is Part 31 of my trip continuing the journey through Poland. Having left the oddly located but lovely hotel in Bobrowa I headed off toward Chelm. A came across a town with storks nesting on the top of telegraph poles and a very modern looking church in another. Another beautiful day culminating in finding a campsite on the edge of Jezorio Biale, known locally as the white lake. A great day...

This is Part 30 of my trip continuing the journey through Latvia and into Lithuania. I'd spent the night in a nice hotel and had a very good breakfast, loaded up the bike and went to move it and… I'd forgotten to take the disk lock off, so over she went… not the best start to a day and I don't know if it is the same for you but if you get off to a bad start minor irritations can seem just to bu...
CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 29 - Through Latvia into Lithuania
มุมมอง 2.5K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is Part 29 of my trip continuing the journey.Today I crossed into 2 countries, but 4 border crossings. How so? The first crossing was from Estonia to Latvia but through a small road that just had a simple sign-post, so I decided I'd backtrack a little back into Estonia (2nd crossing) and cross on a main road (3rd crossing)… and why not? The 4th crossing was into Lithuania where I spent the...

This is Part 28 of my trip continuing the journey through Estonia. Having had a day off the bike visiting Tallinn while I waited for the CB500X to be serviced I set off for the service, I used Motorem which fitted me in at short notice (many thanks), it needed oil, oil filter, air filter and rear brake pads and a bit of an overall check-over. All good, back on the road heading towards Latvia. A...

This is Part 27 of my trip continuing the journey, leaving Finland into Estonia. I left the campsite in Helsinki on day 37 and headed to the port for the ferry to Tallinn, Estonia. It should have been simple enough only a few KMs but I still managed to take a few wrong turns. The ferry crossing was uneventful and I found a campsite a few KMs out of Tallinn. The next day I left the campsite whic...

This is Part 26 of my trip continuing the journey through Norway, After a very stormy night I set off for Helsinki. I stopped in the town and located a shope (Clas Ohlson) that sold water proofing spray which I applied fairly liberally to the over-suit and my boots. Didn't really do the job though. I encountered really torrential rain so I had to stop on the roadside for a while. I got to Helsi...
