Not too long ago a 500cc bike was considered a 'big bike'. Nowadays 500s are thought of as 'starter bikes' - something cheap and unthreatening to outgrow. But you never know, Honda's CB500X might be all the bike you really need. Cheap to buy, cheap to run and with plenty of punch and Honda's legendary reliability, do you really need anything more? In this video I borrow my friend Norm's bike for a quick exploratory spin - coming away quite impressed.
