I like the bike and I think it looks great in yellow and black. I'm seriously considering buying the cb500f, and saw a dealership a few days ago, but they didn't have one in stock and were waiting on it.
@@mad082sss It's a sweet looking machine and I love the styling. I prefer the naked appearance because it's quite distinctive in yellow. The power range seems to be enough for my needs/(whims!I) and Honda have never failed me in reliability. I'm looking forward to a test ride at the dealership! Thanks! I so enjoyed your video. 👍🏍
@@victorious9243 they are good fun. I test rode much faster bikes but thought that I'd probably end up doing something stupid and getting hurt. The 500 is fast enough to put a smile on your face but not so fast that you get to ridiculous speeds in a short amount of time.
@@mad082sss I'm at the stage of life when I'm no longer into needing excessive speed and have been looking at mid range bikes eg, Yamaha MT 07 or Triumph 660 which are on my short list, but I'm really drawn to the cb500f. Safe travels!
@@victorious9243 definitely try and ride all 3. If you are looking at the restricted versions of the mt07 and trident then there's not much in performance between the 3, they will just deliver their power in different ways. In a few years time I'll probably upgrade from the 500. While i do love the bike there are 3 things that it lacks a bit for me. First is it's power at higher speeds. I do a lot of highway commuting, so while it has enough power to do that just fine, a bit more for getting around cars would be nice. Second is wind protection. It's not a big issue until you get to motorway speeds, and it's more the wind noise (even with ear plugs) than the actual being pushed around by the wind. The third thing is subjective, but the sound. The 180 degree parallel twin just doesn't sound that great in my opinion. The 270 degree crank in the mt07 sounds better but i don't think you can beat a triple or 4 cylinder for sound. I'm planning on doing a 12 month review video in the next few weeks where I'll try and do into that sort of stuff in more depth.
Sorry about that. Editing software decided to render part of the video i deleted instead of moving everything to the start of the clip. I've cropped the clip.

Thanks. I really like the yellow and black too. We only got 1 colour option here so I'm glad it was that
