I had one of these as a curtesy bike a couple of weeks ago, loved it. I'm 6'5" and I found it fairly comfortable even though I probably looked like i was riding a grom.

Good, comprehensive report again, Mark. For anyone looking to get started properly on their first 'big-ish' bike, this machine is certainly a good candidate.
Reminds me very much of the trusty old Honda CB400N Super Dream I had way back when dinosaurs roamed about. It taught me a lot, being friendly and confidence inspiring and at 43 odd horsepower, just enough fizz to also have some fun. This latest incarnation will be just the same.

Got my full motorbike license yesterday (A2) and I'm seriously looking into getting one of these bikes. Great review 👍

Another lovely bike from Honda. Well-proven motor and great looks and features including low seat heignt for added confidence for newbies, with that well earned Honda reliability. There are so many lovely new bikes out there at the moment we really are spoilt for choice. Great video Mark, thanks.

'Very nice to see a review done at night, to find out how well the lighting works.

Hi Mark, top vid as always.
Though I have to say, naming no names, but when I got and wanted to add stuff to my NC750X DCT, even a Honda dealer said the stock heated grips were not as good as the Oxford ones, I'd have to, and i have, specked the bike to may taste.
You can definitely save a few hundred pounds.
Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

Excellent review. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the bike with us. The CB500 looks like a great first bike....though that Z500 also looks pretty good. What a time to get into riding!

I had the predecessor to this, the CB500F, cracking bike but too revvy for me and even with an MRA double bubble screen I found the wind blast tiring. Changed it for my much loved NC750X DCT. That little 500 was great fun though on shorter runs.

Great real world review Mark, thank you.

If only Honda put a round headlight on this bike and it would be a serious contender for my first bigger bike. Instead I'm drawn towards the 650F among Honda's range.

Thank you for your splendid video! Really economical these Honda 500cc bikes. Would you recommend this bike to be ridden with a pillion passenger?

Excellent review on the Honda hornet500 cc, thanks, Mark👍

great review Mark! Nigh ride addition is great idea, please do it with all bikes if you can. How would you compare 500 hornet vs 450NK?

Looks a great little commuter and occasional distance bike Mark. Do you tend to use E10 fuel for the rest rides?

Superb review, and very timely for me as I'm thinking of swapping my Bonnie T100 for one. Can't think of a single reason not to now!
