In 2014, Honda launched the CB500X, a motorcycle that was in its second year of production for the middleweight adventure bike introduced by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer to fill the gap in the 500cc niche.

The Honda CB500X was a versatile motorcycle that placed comfort, reliability, and performance on top of its priorities list and was specially developed for adventure lovers, with its large fuel tank that was perfect for extended journeys, upright seating position, adjustable windscreen, and wide handlebar.

The adventure machine came with a diamond-shaped 35 mm steel tube frame in a lightweight and rigid package that offered responsive sport handling and housed a 41 mm telescopic fork with 12 cm (4.9 inches) of wheel travel and a sophisticated Pro-Link single-shock absorber on the rear that provided nine-stage spring preload adjustability and almost 12 cm (4.7 inches) of wheel travel.

For braking purposes, the bike packed a 320 mm wave-style disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear that provided strong braking performance fitted on a set of lightweight cast aluminum wheels.

As for power, the 2014 Honda CB500X adventure bike had its muscles from a 471cc parallel-twin four-stroke liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 47 hp at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
