The Honda CB500X has been a mainstay in Honda’s model lineup for several years now. Indeed, it’s proven to be one of the most versatile entry-level adventure bikes thanks to its accessibility and friendly performance, while at the same time appealing to the tastes for more seasoned riders looking for a laid-back, go-anywhere machine.
With that being said, Honda has announced the return of the CB500X for the 2024 model year, only it won’t be called the CB500X anymore. For whatever reason, Honda has decided to rename its entry-level ADV to NX500, a name which pays homage to the brand’s NX650 Dominator from the late 1980s.
