ok so I took mine up to 103 mph (in Mexico of course) I took a two hour and a half hour trip to Florida in the pouring rain averaging mid 70s just fine but did bring it up a little at one point. she'll get up there in speed.
I just bought the green one two days ago. I already owned a CB500F and knew the engine/transmission was great. This bike is a LOT of fun to just cruise around on. Plus it looks cool, so there's that. It sounded a struggle to maintain 70mph, but I weigh 250 pounds. I didn't buy it do go super fast or very long distances--just my daily rider and plus, my son loves it and he'll take the rider course in September. Win, win.
Heck yea it's a blast to ride for sure. I've caught a lot of flack for saying that it doesn't like to go over 75 but it goods to hear someone else saying this as well lol. I'm sure your son is going to crush the course and you'll have yourself a riding buddy very soon lol.
That's awesome to hear! It was one of the first things I felt as a taller person was my knees weren't hitting things lol. The MT series is the worst about that.
I moved to Riverside CA about a year and a half ago... I kept my car running with AZ license plates until they expired..Long story short, I had tons of drama trying to pass the California Smog test on a 2017 NIssan!!! , No check engine light , car is as smooth as new, it simply says O2 sensor is not ready. I took it to 3 different places and everyone kept telling me that nothing is wrong with it, it simply needs more driving. I tried driving it , even to AZ and back, and nope! Same issue, I know in AZ i wouldn't have any issues.. Soo I finally gave up, and got this same SCL500 color from the dealer, after graduating from Harley Davidson's School, and just got my endorsement 2 days ago. And yea! I'm selling my efing car!! No smog tests required for motorcycles EVER! I'm so excited about my new chapter in life with this wonderful new motorcycle!! I still ride like. a rookie and need to learn to let go all my fear, but i'm confident that sooner or later i'll get there.. Awesome video!!
Yes, I like the flat seat too. I have a 1997 Honda CB750 Nighthawk that has the same type of seat. It gives the rider some extra room to make seating adjustments while riding. A Great looking bike. I am thinking about getting one. Great informative video!
Just got one of these, same color, a couple of days ago. Love it! I've also got a Rebel. This rides a lot like the Rebel, but is better in the corners and I like the higher seating. I agree that Honda did a great job on this bike. It has plenty of power, but is not at all intimidating. Wish it had a tach, and not crazy about the exhaust, but honestly, those are the only negatives I have and I can live with both of those. Great job on the review. Can't wait to see your next one.
@@paulstanley3265 I think so since you are sitting more upright than the rebel It offers a bit more room. I'm around 6' 1" and with riding shoes on maybe 6' 2" and I'm very comfy and don't feel squished at all.
@@paulstanley3265 Yes, it has a lot more leg room than the Rebel. And the way your legs are set, you don't have to deal with that annoying engine guard sticking out on the right side. Love this bike!
Also just to note many bikes have a break In period and past that after the first oil oil change many people say the parallel twins Honda makes gets a little better
Yea I know even my Grom and my Kawasaki felt entirely different after the first break in. I know some will claim it doesn't change anything but me personally I felt a big difference.
Yeah as other commenters said i own one and it is listed as being able to go over 100mph. I haven't tried, but i know it can hit 80 and still has plenty of juice. Awesome bike i got over 300 miles on mine!
@Corey_Vlogs yeah its all good. Without an rpm guage, it's about feeling it and kinda guessing the power. You could post a comment and pin it or put the update in the description.
The Clutch feeling might be because of the slipper clutch which should be equipped according to the spec sheet my dad looked at. We looked at one at our honda dealer today and are very interested in it as a bike for me.
I have almost 8k miles on mine got it at the start of the riding season just to play around on and it will easily do high way speeds I run mine around 75mph on average and it’s no big issue, however you can get it to 115 just needs to be a long (very long) straight, it takes the time to build up any speed past 80mph from my experience but it’s a great bike so far very fun and comfortable, would totally recommend to a beginner as well
I’ve got a klx300 thinking of getting this as a second bike. Really want something with a bit more get up and go. Not trying to break any track records.
Then this is the perfect bike bro. I love to goof around on the KLX and I've done a 450+ mile day on the KLX and it wasn't the most pleasant time. However doing 100 miles on this feels like nothing. It's very comfy. Keep me posted if you do buy one.
I bought my SCL500(actually it's called the CL500 here in Thailand) for $6,200 so it's a little over $1,000 savings compared to the U.S. I got it in Gunpowder Black Metallic but it's also available here in Candy Energy Orange & Green Metallic. It's definitely a fun ride, esp. since I can ride it almost year round, compared to only 3 or 4 months in my home state of Mo. I've gone over 150km/h so it's definitely way fast enough for my 185lbs weight. I just wish I could get that cool brown leather seat you can buy in the states. Other than that it's a pretty sweet ride over heah!
Dude!! That's sick!! I lived in Mo for 15 years of my life lol so I completely understand not being able to ride for 8 months haha. But yea it's a great bike man the 500 has plenty of getup and it's the perfect reliable daily rider for sure.
@@Corey_Vlogs Yes, it's a small world I was born in Springfield, grew up in Moberly then Independence, and then Blue Springs. I do miss canoeing on the current river every June, might do it one more for old times sake you never know. Next year I might ride my CL to Nepal and back not sure yet. I'm also looking to buy a RE 450 when it comes out next year. If you ever get a month or two you should come ride in Thailand, it's an experience you'll never forget.
Dude no way!! I grew up in Waynesville about an hour from springfield haha and really want to ride somewhere like Thailand in the future but getting a bike there would be a task. We'll have to link up and I'll find a bike to rent while I'm out there lol. @@SladeBling
@@Corey_Vlogs You can rent almost any bike over here, and it's way cheaper than U.S. prices. All you need is an International Drivers Permit, which is easy to get from AAA..but needs to have Motorcycle qualified stated on it. It's extremely dangerous to ride over here though, if you decide to do it just let me know I can make your odds of survival skyrocket. There's no reason to come over here and get hurt/killed.
Man...three years after the pandemic and Honda is still having issues getting bikes into dealers...what is going on with them? I like the green one. Definitely would take the Honda sticker off the tank, being a sticker and not painted in, looks so cheap. I dont think id change the exhaust, ive heard a couple with exhausts and to be honest, they dont sound all that good.
Great 🎉 Review !!! Luv the Orange 🍊 !!!!! 🤩☀️😎 Where is the “ Sweet - Spot “ on this Honda for power deliver ???? Low - End , Mid - Range, Up - Top ???? Does it PULL ?? from the Bottom ??? Is it a Boring ride that would make You wish that You bought a Bigger BIKE ??? Does it sport a “ UJM “ seating position ??? I am 6’2” and 230 …… Would I fit with my long legs? Would my weight overwhelm the HONDA , and make it feel anemic ??? Thanks for Your insight !!!! Brian 😎
Sweet Spot: Low end all the way to top middle is perfection 1-4 gear is a good time Pull: It will pull hard in almost every gear except for 6th Boring Ride: I don't think it's boring for someone that wants to hit some back roads or city roads and cruise around it's the perfect bike. For someone like me that has to be a menace and pop wheelies and go off road and hit jumps it would be a perfect second bike for me. UJM Seating: It is a VERY comfortable ride for me I'm about 6 1 62 and 190lbs I have pretty long legs and I don't feel squished at all. Weight: I don't think 220lbs is even close to slowing this thing down. I have had myself and my wife on it and it will cruise with joy no problem. Hope this helps!
Fantastic !!!!!!!! Your Remarks are BEYOND Helpful !!!!!!! No One else has ever answered My query …….. YOU are WONDERFUL and Many Miles of Safe and Enjoyable Riding ahead for You Corey 👍🏻🤩💫
Haha I think any supermoto is the perfect hooligan bike. I don't enjoy going fast so anything from a 125cc Grom to a KLX 300 is just a blast. However I will say when I throw my leg over the SCL I feel like a grown man that means business lol. @@brianfeeney9493
i don't like the exhaust on the rebel 500 but i kind of like the look of the one on the scrambler, its still a giant turd, but its kind of a cool looking giant turd. also i like the bright orange because it really give it that vintage look.
I should have gotten a clear shot of it. So I can see it with sunglasses on pretty clear with a lot of sun and at night I can see it super clear. Apologies about that
@Corey_Vlogs Actually, this is one of the better reviews I've seen as of yet. It's just that the camera is not really catching the display too well, and it looks very dark and hard to see. Thanks for the review. It was helpful.
Oh wow! Yea I took it on a backroad and really got after it full tuck and hit 83 with it screaming. I'm guessing something with emissions or something is really holding this thing back.
Great review but if you felt uncomfortable going 80 plus mph you shining haves said so … you misrepresented the bike by emphasizing 70mph and claiming 85mph was tweaking the engine 😢😢
At 70 the bike doesn't vibrate at all at 85 it's shaking like a thumper. Idk how else to put it. I have had plenty of people bust my balls about this lol. I have done 12 o clock wheelies at 40mph and have rode fully built dynas, sportsters, and even an R7. I just base what I felt off of vibrations. If you plan to take this scrambler on the highway at 85 your hands will be numb fast it truly starts to feel like a thumper. I might have to really ride it again and just see if it was the road cause I know for a fact that the 500 is built much better than what I portrayed.
Yes I have to agree about painting the other parts to match. And it's a great bike I think I'll have one in my lineup at some point in the future for sure. @@scrambler420
I'm a little surprised by that. My harley xg500 can do 110 in a full tuck and 95 with me sitting straight up. Yeah I have a tiny useless windscreen but it does nothing. I was interested in this till that highway run you did. I mean I get 55mpg at 80-90mph and I ride highway everyday to work. 55 mile round trip and my bike might be making 36hp and 30tq at 508lbs wet. I honestly like the bike but doesn't seem it will be and do better than my harley.
Yea I wanted to give a fair shakedown so anyone watching could be the judge. I'm sure with a sprocket change the bike would do 75-80 but something about it just didnt feel right at those speeds. The XG's are great bikes and look awesome.
@@Corey_Vlogs…. Are you seriously this dishonest? Watch the other videos people doing 95-100mph on the scrambler. You were riding someone else’s brand new bike. Of course you didn’t give it a fair all out power test. It has 70 miles on it.
My brother calling me dishonest is wild lol. The bike was shaking like a leaf on a tree at 80... I said it would go faster but you definitely wouldn't want to cruise at those speeds. I've rode plenty of fast bikes and this is not one that you want at 100mph...@@WilliamWBG
@@Corey_Vlogs ….. what is the purpose of a 500cc scrambler? Stick to honest reviews vs biased opinions and your channel might have a chance. As other commenters have suggested…… maybe you should stick to reviewing track bikes.
The new Hondas look so generic to me. So much black like why? No character at all to them compared to the their old CB’s. I’m sure they run great like most Hondas but the looks are so plain.
Yea man my KLX will also hit 85 lol but when this thing hits 85 it starts vibrating a lot and just doesn't like it at all. I'm sure you can tuck in and really send it and get it up to 95 maybe 100 but it just doesn't feel right at all. It has plenty of power down low so I'm guessing the sprocket up front or in the back could be changed to get more top end.
@@Corey_Vlogs good idea on the sprocket, I’m more about acceleration that top speed personally but I would like to be able to keep up with traffic without being tapped out. But I only weigh 140lbs so maybe it’ll be a bit faster under me?
This is a more subdued version of the Ducati Scrambler. The main difference between the two is ease of maintenance and power of course. You pay to have a Ducati, but the power range is incredible. The 803 is not even a conversation in terms of power comparison. This bike is fine, BUT in terms of fun and long term ownership, this is more for subdued personalities who aren't concerned about too much fun.
What’s funny my friend the one that bought this also bought an mt03 the same day and boy do those things rip!!!! Totally different power band than the 500 for sure! And hahahaha it’s wild out here in fl 😂
“Can this thing go on the highway idk if it can do 70”… get outta here with your goofy self. The rebel 300 does 80 so of course this thing can do 70. SMH
I said it has a top speed of 80+ but it starts vibrating at 70-75mph I’ll be sure to add subtitles on the next video with a clear understanding of what I’m saying for you next time 🙏🏼
ok so I took mine up to 103 mph (in Mexico of course) I took a two hour and a half hour trip to Florida in the pouring rain averaging mid 70s just fine but did bring it up a little at one point. she'll get up there in speed.
finally someone that owns one! I stand corrected on these statements I made lol Thank you for being the voice of reason lol.
lol yeah I love mine named her clementine. working on setting up the go pro for Tiktok stuff@@Corey_Vlogs
How does it handle on the interstate? Seems like it might be too lightweight and get blown around.
@@jamesmziegler 423 lb , without rider or gear.
I got the 2024 in matte black and absolutely love it. This is my 6th honda, and by far my favorite to date. Great video!!

I was waiting for someone to tell me how the bike does on the interstate. Dude you sold me. That's the next bike gonna be added to my collection.
Right on!! You’ll love the bike it’s so much fun!
I love mine! Just crossed over 2k miles, not a single hiccup. A fantastic ride.
That’s awesome! I really think I might get one myself
At 4:30; I’m 6’6” and found this completely comfortable. Flat long (hard) seat and no plastic stuff getting in the way of my knees.
That's awesome to hear! It was one of the first things I felt as a taller person was my knees weren't hitting things lol. The MT series is the worst about that.

I here Honda is making a mid-year upgrade on the muffler. It will be even larger and will require a small trailer to carry it.

The SCL500 is the prettiest bike Honda's made in decades. It reminds me of their bikes from the 70s.

Man I really just must have under judged the RPMs the day I rode this. I'll have to take it out again and feel it at 75 or 80

Hahah right on!!
My first bike was a early 70s Honda 360 scrambler . Loved that ride .
That's awesome!! I'm sure it's still running somewhere lol the hondas just seem to run forever.
Ｉ bought CL５００🔷.run 3,000 km．Ｌight ＆ smooth engine＝my favorite!!
Man...three years after the pandemic and Honda is still having issues getting bikes into dealers...what is going on with them? I like the green one. Definitely would take the Honda sticker off the tank, being a sticker and not painted in, looks so cheap. I dont think id change the exhaust, ive heard a couple with exhausts and to be honest, they dont sound all that good.
What about passenger comfort???. Looks like that exhaust is very close to the rider boots. And wors for passenger
My wife rode on the back for a little 15 minute ride and she did not like it at all. She sat very high and had to watch her leg the entire time.
I really wanna hear what this bike sounds like when changing the stock exhaust to aftermarket exhaust
I'll have to get a video when we do the exhaust on it.
The flat gastank on the mt gives me a spot to carry my beer!🍻
I absolutely love my orange one
Great 🎉 Review !!!
Luv the Orange 🍊 !!!!! 🤩☀️😎
Where is the “ Sweet - Spot “ on this Honda for power deliver ????
Low - End , Mid - Range, Up - Top ????
Does it PULL ?? from the Bottom ???
Is it a Boring ride that would make You wish that You bought a Bigger BIKE ???
Does it sport a “ UJM “ seating position ??? I am 6’2” and 230 ……
Would I fit with my long legs?
Would my weight overwhelm the HONDA , and make it feel anemic ???
Thanks for Your insight !!!!
Brian
😎
Sweet Spot: Low end all the way to top middle is perfection 1-4 gear is a good time
Pull: It will pull hard in almost every gear except for 6th
Boring Ride: I don't think it's boring for someone that wants to hit some back roads or city roads and cruise around it's the perfect bike. For someone like me that has to be a menace and pop wheelies and go off road and hit jumps it would be a perfect second bike for me.
UJM Seating: It is a VERY comfortable ride for me I'm about 6 1 62 and 190lbs I have pretty long legs and I don't feel squished at all.
Weight: I don't think 220lbs is even close to slowing this thing down. I have had myself and my wife on it and it will cruise with joy no problem.
Hope this helps!

Haha I think any supermoto is the perfect hooligan bike. I don't enjoy going fast so anything from a 125cc Grom to a KLX 300 is just a blast. However I will say when I throw my leg over the SCL I feel like a grown man that means business lol. @@brianfeeney9493
Thanks Brother 🏍️
The green looks good to me. But nothing wrong with that orange either.
I haven't seen the green in person but I'm sure it looks great.
12:01, exactly! If I want to go 75mph in a straight line on the freeway I'll buy a Buick...or worse, a bagger of some sort.
Yep exactly. And after taking this thing in some deep sand it rips off road!
If you go on the highway and it's windy, duck down. lean on the tank.
❤ great for the Philippines
If they put the rebel 1100 engine and better suspension would be so much fun……. Would be like a light weight Africa Twin
i don't like the exhaust on the rebel 500 but i kind of like the look of the one on the scrambler, its still a giant turd, but its kind of a cool looking giant turd. also i like the bright orange because it really give it that vintage look.
HAHAHAHA I'm in the same boat with you on this one.
All the videos on this bike I cant see the instrument cluster, its so dark. I wonder if it's better in person.
I should have gotten a clear shot of it. So I can see it with sunglasses on pretty clear with a lot of sun and at night I can see it super clear. Apologies about that
@Corey_Vlogs Actually, this is one of the better reviews I've seen as of yet. It's just that the camera is not really catching the display too well, and it looks very dark and hard to see. Thanks for the review. It was helpful.
several things i hate
the tiny minimal display
the headlight
the ignition location
no windshield
Yea the ignition location could have been in a better spot haha reminds me of a harley lol.
Get something else cuz that’s what scrambler is about
this vs a honda shadow phantom?
I gotta see if I can get my leg over a shadow soon
Can you review a SV650? It's a very popular bike.
I can see if I can get my hands on one to ride for sure :)
My 94 Vulcan 500 cruises easy at 85. Top speed is over 100 and I have a windshield which slows it down.
Oh wow! Yea I took it on a backroad and really got after it full tuck and hit 83 with it screaming. I'm guessing something with emissions or something is really holding this thing back.
Wish it came in a DCT 😢
DCTs are nice but it shifts so smooth that if you imagine hard enough it's almost a DCT lol.
Get a rebel 1100 you ll be happy

107mph it's the fastest I've had mine
You are a brave soul lolol
It's nice I have 1630 miles in a month
Also I wish they painted the the fenders and some of the plastics in the orange and it handles the interstate, country roads, city streets

Yea I wanted to give a fair shakedown so anyone watching could be the judge. I'm sure with a sprocket change the bike would do 75-80 but something about it just didnt feel right at those speeds. The XG's are great bikes and look awesome.
@@Corey_Vlogs…. Are you seriously this dishonest? Watch the other videos people doing 95-100mph on the scrambler.
You were riding someone else’s brand new bike. Of course you didn’t give it a fair all out power test. It has 70 miles on it.
My brother calling me dishonest is wild lol. The bike was shaking like a leaf on a tree at 80... I said it would go faster but you definitely wouldn't want to cruise at those speeds. I've rode plenty of fast bikes and this is not one that you want at 100mph...@@WilliamWBG
@@Corey_Vlogs ….. what is the purpose of a 500cc scrambler? Stick to honest reviews vs biased opinions and your channel might have a chance. As other commenters have suggested…… maybe you should stick to reviewing track bikes.
The CB500X is a much better looking bike. I just can't get past the weird Rebel tanks.
The new Hondas look so generic to me. So much black like why? No character at all to them compared to the their old CB’s. I’m sure they run great like most Hondas but the looks are so plain.
@@daniel-eg2oq And I look at that and wonder how you can toss some saddle bags on.
@@dalesworld1308yeah I’m sure it’ll get some impulse buys but I’m not sure what it offers that other bikes even other Hondas don’t do better.
I Disagree
Agreed.I never did get the whole scrambler thing.I never knew anyone that owned one.CB 500x over this imo.
Lol Florida. You should come to Texas and see how fast they drive
Hahaha
@@Corey_Vlogs lol nice grind
Safety orange 🍊
Top speed of 85?? That can’t be right can it? My crf250L will do 80
Yea man my KLX will also hit 85 lol but when this thing hits 85 it starts vibrating a lot and just doesn't like it at all. I'm sure you can tuck in and really send it and get it up to 95 maybe 100 but it just doesn't feel right at all. It has plenty of power down low so I'm guessing the sprocket up front or in the back could be changed to get more top end.
@@Corey_Vlogs good idea on the sprocket, I’m more about acceleration that top speed personally but I would like to be able to keep up with traffic without being tapped out. But I only weigh 140lbs so maybe it’ll be a bit faster under me?
This is a more subdued version of the Ducati Scrambler. The main difference between the two is ease of maintenance and power of course. You pay to have a Ducati, but the power range is incredible. The 803 is not even a conversation in terms of power comparison. This bike is fine, BUT in terms of fun and long term ownership, this is more for subdued personalities who aren't concerned about too much fun.
Looks like they took a lot from the Honda rebel
A lot yes! It’s nearly the same just seat and bars lol even the naked frame looks a lot a like
👍🏻🙏🏻😀
How is 90 not a thing when my stock mt03 is pulling that easy to get through the dummies? Fl man here and yes we do 70 in a 45. 😅
What’s funny my friend the one that bought this also bought an mt03 the same day and boy do those things rip!!!! Totally different power band than the 500 for sure! And hahahaha it’s wild out here in fl 😂
Jax much?
I do have the teenie winshield😂
nope... In comparison to everything else, it's not worth it..
All Hondas are worth it 😏.
This bike needs a 600rr engine in it.
Haha it would be a ripper for sure.
Top speed is 130 mph
Not even almost lol
The CBR500 will top out around 112 and it's the same engine, just a slightly lower tune. This will never reach 130
Maybe once...over a cliff 😮
Going downhill and wind on your back😂
Is it worth it? No. The Honda CB500X is much better.
I mean to be fair they are different bikes but I could see why someone would choose either.
You get on the highway without a windshield and you're SURPRISED that the wind is hitting you at oh..... 70MpH???
Not surprised just letting the viewers be aware of what it's like.. sorta like a review almost if you will.
“Can this thing go on the highway idk if it can do 70”… get outta here with your goofy self. The rebel 300 does 80 so of course this thing can do 70. SMH
I said it has a top speed of 80+ but it starts vibrating at 70-75mph I’ll be sure to add subtitles on the next video with a clear understanding of what I’m saying for you next time 🙏🏼
@@Corey_Vlogs starts vibrating… that ain’t good. My 300 doesn’t do that even at 85mph.
