I love Honda's engine man it's like butter smooth and I'm a person who loves that peaceful ride more than power it's about how comfortable it is
Dude, Honda and Yamaha engines are true masterpieces. We have a first generation Activa and the engine is smoother than my pulsar and ntorq at 70kph. Yes it still does those speeds even after 15plus years. The engine is built to last. Definitely Honda is asking for more price cus they have worked on what matters the most. Sadly most people don't think this way...

Bang on review Bulu bhai.. I own a GS310 and recently did Hyd to Ladhak and I realized it's underpowered.. after coming back i took a test ride of 500X and I echo each and every point that you mentioned in the review.. this is a very practical bike which easily matches the comfort of a GS.. unfortunately I was not able to book it as there are no stocks.. waiting for the new version and I am definitely buying this one.
No problems bro keep riding the GS n enjoy your trip, let the new version come based on the price it is launched u can take a call.
@@BuluBiker Absolutely Bulu bhai but I believe if the bike is fulfilling all your requirements then just go for it.. even if it's slightly over priced it should be OK.. thats what I did when I bought GS 310.. 🙂
@@indiaversysrider thats exactly how I think brother😁
Very good opinion Bulu bhai !!! I feel that, 50hp and 50 Nm within 200kg are more than enough Indian highways.
I got this bike on a steal deal from top line honda for 6.4 lacs. Trust me guys this bike has got gem of an engine and I really love every moment riding this bike.
6.8 on road hai, how did u manage in 6.4?
I love it bro mustang
The bike not excel on road, not excel off road. Where it excel is the bad roads, traction is amazing. Strong low end torque and the bike will never stall. Bulu Bhai if you are going for 500x, don't take this model. Go for the updated one with upgraded suspension and twin disc brakes. 15 years back when I was riding the Karizma, i was surprised by the smooth cruising experience on speeds like 80+ kmph and i never felt the speed on it. I didn't get that feel on any bike after that, i had a 2018 Africa twin and i was not happy with its cruising abilities, i always felt the need of a 7 th gear in highways and 6th felt very Torquey but not smooth and refined. But I got that cruise feel on a 125 cc scooter - Suzuki burgman which I can cruise at 75 kmph on eco mode. May be I will get my fav cruise feel on the big GS, waiting for detailed test drive.
U try with vstrom 250...I already covered 17k kms n enjoy each time I take out my bike..it goes smoothly n linearly 90 to 105...
@@sangamesh74 I need spoke wheels, but I love Suzuki
Bulu bhai videos is so informative.. New CB500X With USD suspension is a great bike and value for money ..
I can totally understand what your saying. I test rode this from Lavelle road to Electronic city twice. Only bike which made me go back to it again and again after interceptor 650. Only engine which can match the smoothness of this engine at lower prices and light weight then it will be RE 650 engines. Aur aap clutch ke baare mein baat karna hi bhool gaye. This has got to be lightest clutch i have ever used. It is almost like non existent clutch....
Bulu Bhai kitna pratical ho. I am really fan of yours. Aysa loog bahut kam hain. Kitna badhiya sa explain karta ho har baat ko. Pardeep ( j&k)
Simple and good review... You reminded me of the time I took a test ride of Honda unicorn back in the days when it was launched...
I'm also planning to sell my interceptor and buy the updated model of this bike. Thank you for clearing my doubts about this bike.
What issues do you find with interceptor bro?
@@aps250487 lots of problem. Handlebar wobble, missfire, engine stalling and many more, even after doing all the periodic maintenance.
@@wonderfulworld7049 you don't recommend to buy the interceptor then?
There is a video on TH-cam of Abhinav, with lots of Mods on the interceptor, even after spending a lot on high quality superior mods, the bike will cost less than cb500x 😂 and will be touring ready.
What do you think??
Bought hness cb350 in may 2023. Am learning big bikes. When crusing on highway its avg is 100kmph. Will look for next bike after 2 years mostly Honda again.😊
Always loved your reviews on ADV's... Specially this one was much needed 💜
Also later if possible, please do a review for the accesories we can add on to this beast!
Thank you sir 👍🏼
Sadly, Honda got all the unsold international units to India with an exorbitant pricing, while they were launching the updated model with USD Showa BP SFF, Dual front disc brakes and adjustable windscreen.
At the launch price of this (on road Bangalore), one can buy 2 KTM ADV 390, of course it won’t ever match the finesse of the Honda, but it’s high time Honda should stop treating India as a scooter only market and fix their prices. After all their major share of global revenue comes from India itself.
Welcome to the 500x Fam ❤️
You got all things right 💯 i am still shocked with just 3-4k service bills 😂🤪
As per the breaks, there is no combo breaks on 500x. They are indipendent 👍
What's your take on 500f I am a senior rider who was riding liter bikes and then went downward to 650 and then CB 350 and due to very low top end cruising speed want a CB 500 light and hopefully keep riding at 120+
Bulu bhai
Beautiful and comprehensive review🤗
Honda cb500x

Koun sa better value for money rahega
Confused which one to buy.
I am solo rider.
Plz honestly review dena chiyy aap ko ... not promotion any brand ... bcoz hm buluu bhai ko jaan te h as a most honest youtuber... may jo be aap n is bike k bare m bola ho vo sch ho .. tq sir 🙏
explained in butter-like manner...I really wish to test this bike when I will start earning
That kid on the stroller will definitely become a bike-lover in future 🤣 the way he was checking out!
Absolutely agree about the bike being simple and easy to manage
Super awesome review Bulu bhai.
Thanks bulu Bhai.. great video, it will be great if they launch new version at the same price.
Overall, KTM 390 ADV is best value for money bike under ADV catagory. ☝🏻🙂
Nope, it's the worst bike as an ADV. . . That engine and suspension set up is perfect for RC, not ADV. . .
@@radarroi27 worst?? I thought that title goes to GS310
Bullu Bhai ek separate video 250-350 cc ke kon si bike touring ar roj use karne ke niye achha hein usme banao na
bulu bhaiya, agr apko car or extra ka vlog dalna hai to dura channel bnao ya fir bike ka dusra, isse flow tut jata hai. cb500x ke bich main apne 2-3 alg alg video dal diye, 90% of us ne apko bike ke liye follow kiya hai, non bike stuff ek or channel bna ke uspe dalo
Bulu bhai Loves Honda and Hates Royal Enfield. Because Bulu bhai had very bad experience with RE in past and same it is with me, but Honda never disappointed to either one of us.
I thought Bulu bhai would show us riding the Cb 500x. Anyway thank you bhai.
Just this evening, I was told by big wing showroom in Raipur that the 500x is no longer available. I had gone to register my interest in booking the bike. But this response ended it
Isnt this very close to the interceptor 650 in terms of specs? How far is re in finishing and refinement? Would the himalayan 650 be comparable if it is ever launched?
RE nterceptor is a good bike bro but this is an adventure tourer n any day a better bike.
Himalayn 650 will be an excellent entry but not sure if RE will launch it or not
650 cc does not mean both are equal
Interceptor is selling because of low cost
Honda engine experience is different
I am also waiting for the 2022 version. Hope its launched at a good price point
sir iska pillion seat ka comfortable kaisa hai .. just wanted to know is it going to be comfortable for my wife...
I have the same question 😁
Yes sir it is very comfortable u can add a top box that will act as a back rest n make it more comfortable
@@BuluBiker thanks bulu Bhai ✌🏻
Of all the motorcycle. My wife perfect 500x anyday 🤪 hope that answers 👍
The Man with the golden heart 💛
Awesome video Bade Bhai ✌
Thanks Bulu bhai….spot on review, you have shared an unbiased feedback and for sure this model is a practical ADV. Eagerly waiting for the new model release, I am also looking for an upgrade from Meteor to a proper ADV for my long touring that give a relaxed riding experience and at the same time we can use for city commute as well…
Yes Bro waiting for the new version to launch
What is the estimated date for the new arrival?
@@deepaksahu9601 Got to know that by end of Jan 2023 bike will be relaunched in India with updated features, by March delivery will start
@@Jitheshonline Thanks bro
@@Jitheshonline But still no signs of launch
Bulu dada, headlight ki visibility kaisa hai high way pe ?
I agree but Ktm still has coloured display...and more advanced features
Test drive liya iska muje is se smooth hness lagi. Touring k liye ye, hness ya fir interceptor kya le? Hness me power kam hai.
Test maine kiya
1. Hness
2. rs
3. Cb500x
4. Interceptor 650
Kaunsa lu? Extra paisa kharch karna worth hai? Interceptor 650 bhi same figures hai and half rate me
Hness thodisi under powered hai sir, cb500x is not available now so Interceptor will be a good buy
@@BuluBiker Thanks Bulu bhai.
I think Mumbai me 500x hai. Kuch to le hi lenge in me se 😂. Par i dnt knw muje laga hness sabse jyada smooth aur vibration free hai. Apne saari chala rakhi hai, apka kya khayal hai?
@@aps250487 konsa liya??
@@sharunps4356 nahi liya ab tak baki hai. Suggest kro aap..
But is this bike available now???? Checked with Bigwing guys and they confirmed its not in stock now.
@BuluBiker - When is new 500X is launching ? waiting from last 6months
Bulu bhai is it good to carry saddle bags or fully loaded luggages. Does it feels under power ???
Definitely Saddle bags r better options, only advantage of hard luggage is safety from this being stolen
@@BuluBiker bulu bhai, lone rider ka language system pe apka kya khyal hai, cb500x pe kesa lgega
Hi Mr. Bulu, first of pardon me for asking question about a motorbike under an entirely different model. But I am not having any other info to connect with you. Kindly Enlighten me with your sagacious ADVICE, please 🙏🏼
1. I am planning for a ride in India, Nepal, Bhutan and further, starting by September 2022. Not fascinated or rich enough to go for high end fancy machines OR just "munching miles", but a very relaxed touring. So, closed into 2 different bikes from two different makers -- Yamaha Fzs V3 & Hero XPulse 200T. Which one will be the right choice in terms of comfort, reliability & handling.?!!
2. Is it possible to attach Panniers & Top box with two of them.?!! What make will be the most affordable as well as durable.?!!
3. According to you, which garage in Bangalore is Professional, affordable and reliable to approach for this cause.?!!
Kundly support me with your wise advice. Hope (wish) you won't ignore this query, but respond.... Thank you.
I would suggest XPulse 200T because of its upright sitting posture. I can suggest to visit asura garage for any fitment and modifications.
@@user-Adventraveller Thank you so much for the suggestion 👍🏼
Thanks for the useful information....
This bike surprised me with its fuel efficiency. I rode this for 2 rides of 210kms each and did 120 avg speed. This bike returned 30 kmpl.
True ? ...
@@nikhilsuryawanshi6301 yes bro. my 1st trip was for 239 kms on a full tank. Came back to refuel and it could fit only 7.81 ltr. 239 kms (210 highway + 29 city moderate traffic & 160kmph was my top speed).
I wish to check doing 80-100kmph next time to see what do it get.
bulu bhai ek cb500x lelo apke liye best lg rha hai, africa twin se hum bhi connect nh kr pate, kyu ki bharat main bigger bike practical nh or na middle class ke liye hai
Thank u bullu bhai, what are the Price's.
I think cb500x will not come before 2023 last, and till that time himalyan 450 will also arrived and then we should think between these two bikes
cb500x is already available in the indian market. it has being years in indian market. in 2022 they reduced the price of this bike by 1lakh
@@anirudh3003 yes, bt i was saying about updated dual disc cb500x
Leave mission
Bulu bhai CRF 300L India me launch hone wala hai?
When will next version of this bike release?
Does it come with slip and assist clutch?
ଭାଇ sear maket ଭିଡ଼ିଓ ଆଉ ବନାଉନାହାନ୍ତି କି?
Do u have water pump issue?
Hi Bulu bro,
I am planning for my first big bike and i am deciding between triumph trident 660 or the Honda cb500x. Mostly looking for city riding and occasional for touring. Which do you think is best suited?
If u have the budget for trident u will enjoy more... But that bike will not do off roading though.
Otherwise w very good bike
@@BuluBiker thank you for the reply bro.
@@VishalJNwhich one did you buy ? I also have similar requirement . More city and occasional long drive
@@bhanuprakash7440 I went with trident 660, now facing issues with ground clearance. Apart from that the bike is amazing!!
@@VishalJNdo you think it’s practical to own a trident in city like Bangalore where we often see bumper to bumper traffic . Will the engine heats up ? How is the reliability of trump overall did you face any issue with the bike
Expecting good pricing of new CB500x !
Bulu brother, could you please have video on Kawasaki ninja 1000sx
How is it different from Interceptor 650?
Very helpful review...
Bulu bhai, are you planning to sell it. I am interested to buy
Sir , Please make video Honda cb500 vs benelli 502x comparison 🙏
Nice work sir 200x ka bhi rewiew kijiye
Superb Review
Bulu bhaiya please make video on vstrom 250
Hello sir cb500x second hand price
Is this bike is available in stock at Bangalore
Cb500x euro version issay a66a hai .. Hume kiu nahi mila pata nahi ... And ha 500cc may best
When the new version is releasing any estimate?
No idea sir
XADV/ NC750 not available in india?
Like your Honest Opinions but VStrom 250 ka review kaha hai dada
Hi brother this weekend will do
@@BuluBiker thanks, ur the man
True opinion
Bulu bhai. My requirement is to do day rides and do trail riding around the city. Not planning to do any long rides. Just wanted to enjoy rides. Booked the new ktm 390 adv. Which one do you suggest ktm or Honda. My preference was ktm as the service is next to home. Note that I am a novice and will be first time into adventure biking.
Hi brother go with the 390adv its a good Motorcycle as Honda is not available now, and don't really know when it will come again, since I have other Motorcycles so I can wait.
Plus since for u it is the first bike then I would not like you to spend so much money.
So my suggestion to you will be the Ktm.
But I hope your height is more than 5.7 or so as Ktm is slightly tall seat height.
Buy ktm 390 .. not adventure one
@@BuluBiker bhai I am 5.9 and have tested the bike couple of times. Found it on aggressive side as compared to the meteor which I drive currently. Hope I will be able to manage the power as the time and experience progress.
@@royaljain2147 are you referring to 390 duke. Yes I have tried. The bike is very good but not to my stance and style of riding.
@@bhalinders i have the adv 390 . its a duke with better ergos. if you are ok with the vibrations then go for the adv 390. i am 5.6 and have learned how to ride a big bike.
Just amazing that a 500 cc bike provides 30kmpl mileage and another hand KTM 200 cc bikes provides 25kmpl mileage
bulu bhaiya ap hum sb new bie ke liye Guru ho
I LOVE HONDA BULU BHAI
Exactly,, Issey jyada ki india main koi jaroorat nai hai...
about electronics, I really agree on simplicity! I am waiting for the RE new himalayan 450! and thinking about RE reliability, that too it will be their first electronics heavy bike, I am in doubt now🙂
Isse zyada GC nai chahiye aapko bulu bhai, for Trails?
No sir? Yehi sahi hai
@@BuluBiker 180mm to street bikes ka hi ho jata hai. 200mm to honi chahiye?
Bulu, No use giving these reviews if it is not available in the market. You had done a review but Bangalore Bigwings confirmed it won't be available for 2022.
New model to be introduced to IndiA.
This bike should be priced between 4.5-4.8 lakhs to ye market me aag laga deti
True. Honda is Honda but. Nai sunte 🥲
Should I consider this or trk 502x?
Sir cb500x is not in stock now, don't know when it will come otherwise that is better anyday
@@BuluBiker Ok brother.
@@BuluBiker Hi, can you share total maintenance cost of CB500x?
Bulu bhai plz compair honda 500 x and beneli 502x
Next video brother
Overall experience of your seems to be good and happy to hear something positive about this motorcycle after a very long time
Price reduction is because Honda was selling 2021 Manufactured Motorcycle?
Same / similar price kept for 2022 if they launch in 2022 would be a good deal
Let’s wait and see what Honda is thinking?
Yes bro even I have the dame expectations😁
Bulu bhai ❤️😎
Can I add ABS externally for the rear wheel ?
No bro not possible
Already comes with dual channel
Bullu bhai I want your songs playlist as I know you have great collections please send me your Spotify link or Amazon music link so I can listen to your playlist of Bollywood music
I m 5.4 can I ride it easily, plz reply Bullu Bhai
Absolutely sir
Annaji please make video on Suzuki v Strom sx 250.please
Yes bro coming weekend doing
Honda cb500x best mechine of people adventure life
Nice bhai ❤️
Bhai apka height kitna hai
any idea about updated 500x is coming...
No idea sir
I m just waiting for indian made one....bcoz this price is 1lac higher thn budget
As far as i know from speaking to Bigwing People, Honda won't make big bikes in India. It will all be CKD units. Reason being, these big bikes don't sell much. So the cost of setting production here just for few bikes is not practical for Honda.
Jai jagannath
7 lakh mein not worth it for anybody other than honda seekers. 5 lakhs on road pe will be the defacto upgrade for every body riding long distances
Anywhere upto 6 lacs on road is good enough
@@aps250487 naah! 6 lakhs is still overcharging imo. Around 5 is a good buy considering 390 comes way cheaper. And its not like ktm is a broken bike from the factory while the honda stays pristine for generations. Many switchgear troubles, niggles and problems with the bikes are present on present expensive hondas too..
@@bibhabbag1 true. But the engine is not comparable. Cant speak about ktm 790 adv though
@@aps250487 i dont think so. Honda engine is staid. All that talk about honda "smoothness" but its not like its vibe free completely. After 120kmph buzz starts creeping. Ktm is very cheaply built but its not breaking everytime it eyes ladakh or spiti. Many ktm advs have multiple spiti rides under their belt without any problems. The price isn't justified for the product. Only people make up their minds for what they want and spend what they want. The 390 is not a bad bike. The honda isn't a great buy.
Higher on price side
Imported from Japan export in India
Price is very high, Go for interceptor 650
ktm was guru
💯% Overpriced
waste of money! don't buy
Na paise bataye na koi power figure bataya gadi k
Re 500 classic
not buy
Can't understand you
