Pleasant, comfortable and easy bike to ride with plenty of torque for normal commuting but lacks the power to eat up the miles on the motorway. Very economical.

So well balanced to ride got a good kick & takes rough roads well. Simple point and go riding. If you want high power not it,if you want a small bike not it. If you want a highly evolved all round it is a great bike.

Excellent design and well executed but the paint finish is extremely thin on casings. Comfortable and versatile all rounder for 500cc bike. A good bike for the price.

I am a 64 year old with a history of old bikes so I can't compare with other recent machines. I wanted a modern bike that was economical and reliable. So far the Honda fits that bill. Top speed massively in excess of the speed limit was not a priority but getting to it fairly quickly was. The X does that and still returns mid 70mpg. I have seen 90mpg on the bike computer. I am short in the leg and the seat height of the X is do-able without any lowering mods. Others I tried were too high. I find it chuckable once on the go but have to mount with the side stand down. Not sure I will manage with the touring luggage I hope to fit. Again my experience with older bikes means comparisons limited but I find the ABS braking amazing and light years ahead of what I am used to . I am still enjoying my time with the Honda.
