The new 2024 Honda NX500 is the sequel to one of my favorite beginner adventure bikes of all time, the Honda CB500X. I have stated many times that I wish the Honda CB500X was my first motorcycle. I have a ton of appreciation for how smooth and easy to ride it is and I'm happy to report that after some seat time on the new Honda NX500, it is indeed a worth successor to the Honda CB 500x. The Honda NX 500 isn't a massive upgrade from the 500X, but it adds enough new features and modern concessions to create an even more compelling package for both new adventure bike riders and experienced motorcyclists alike.

Big thank you to I5 Sports in Albany, Oregon for the opportunity to get out on this 2024 Honda NX500 test ride. Check out their website at: https://www.i-5sports.com/
