  This is actually a modern looking bike that I actually like. Not everything has to be retro! It’s refreshing to have a bike presented exactly as it is. Its not retro,it’s not neo retro,it’s not futuristic, and it’s not “drawing design cues” from any other category or age of motorcycling. It’s not “trying” to be anything! It’s not built to present the rider as a certain type of person either. It just simply is what it is!

  Others have likely commented on this, but thanks, RM, for using a chest-mounted - instead of a dizzying, helmet-mounted - camera. &apos;Very sensible, like your choosing of off-bike narration.

  Same power and performance as a &apos;67/&apos;68 Bonneville, the superbike of it&apos;s day. with much better economy and reliability. <br>Genuinely all you need. Like you I had an earlier version. <br>I&apos;ll probably go back to one..<br>Good watch. <br>Ride safe 👍

  I have a 2021 CB500X which I refused to trade or sell even when I bought my new 2024 V-Strom. The little CB is such a great little all-around utility bike, pretty good at everything, that even an experienced rider of 30 years both on and off road just doesn&apos;t want to let go of. It&apos;s the perfect second bike to own.

  I&apos;ve rented an NX500 in Portugal for 3 days and loved it. Perfect gabarit and power for me as a 5.6&quot; light lady.

  I&apos;ve got a 2021 CB500X and really rate it. &nbsp;Used mainly for touring, another thing I love is that I can park it up anywhere - town centres, rural spots, B&amp;B&apos;s at night and not have the stress of leaving £20k+ of motorcycle parked up in unfamiliar places! &nbsp;<br><br>Thinking about the NX next - very good review, thank you.

  Sounds like a very nice bike. Thanks for the test RM and all the beautiful scenery, &nbsp;never get tired of the ocean view and cliffs 😊

  Well, what a refreshing change to have a really clear, &apos;real-world&apos; review that simply makes a lot of good sense. I think we all should ask ourselves the central question posed ...... do we really need any more? I particularly like this way of doing the commentary, added after the ride, as it avoids the terrible noise conflict you always get with commentary over the engine and wind noise. Many thanks. Oh, and can we have that Himalayan 450 review please - for me it&apos;s going to be either the NX or the Himalayan, so it would be great to have a like-for-like review.

  Bought the 2023 Transalp about three weeks ago for the exact same reasons. Great video, Thnx for sharing.

  Hoping to see this and several other new platforms come to the US soon. Appreciate your very level headed approach to the review.
