Honda NX 500 - is it all the adventure motorcycle you need?

So the Nx500 Arrived really enjoying it today it just struck me as such nice motorcycle to ride an enjoy on our roads,

like anything I wanna add a taller screen and rear shock sprung to my weight luckily dad an I are the same weight, she handled like a 250 real fun nature with the engine if you like to be up and down the gearbox n in the revs an yet click it up a gear an it’s nature changed to a relaxed bike to put travel miles on :)

Sometimes it’s not the flashiest or the highest HP motorcycles that impress the most. I’ve had a few different motorcycles over the years from 1920s to modern day.

The Honda Nx500 I think when you quiet the noise when you find your own adventure that’s when happiness ensues.


Very happy with the change from the Yamaha Tenere 700.

So initial thoughts, composed, superb handling, plentiful power, good wind protection, smooth fuelling and really nice exhaust note oh an the fuel economy is brilliant all the adventure motorcycling I need perfect for our road based adventure travel now would some of the peeps getting free rocket ships to ride pay it much heed probably not for the rest of us though that are buying our motorcycles 🏍️ out of all the sub £7,000 new motorcycles we’ve bought this n the 300 rally I used to have are my favourite so far. Oh n the seat height easy to put your feet down in any situation :)

For me I love the predicable motorcycle the one that feels like it does what you think and never tries to catch you out the perfect travel companion :)

I’m happy Honda are still making motorcycles like this for those of us that don’t want the compromise of the bikes like the T7 and 890 gentle gravel roads and road riding is all I need an that’s the great thing we are all different

Oh n dad kept disappearing over the weekend to sit on it so that’s mission success stage 3b/4 prostate cancer and I’ve found a motorcycle that’s more manageable than the T7 for him which is the difference between him riding again or not just like hotels will be the enabler for our road based adventures so far from dads new norm a true adventure to us an the memories we are making together are worth anything :)

N what is it with Honda making motorcycles that make you feel like you are riding something you have rode for years my fireblade an 300 Rally had the same sensation superb work Honda
