Result

The Honda NX 500 is a simple but well-made A2 adventure bike. It convinces with impeccable and mega-easy handling and is therefore a perfect all-rounder for A2 riders and bikers who no longer feel like 250 kg + bullets. With 48 hp, you shouldn't expect any performance explosions, but that wouldn't fit the extremely good-natured overall impression of the NX 500 at all.

The test machine was kindly provided to us by motofun, a large Honda dealer in Kaltenkirchen (30 minutes north of Hamburg). There, the NX 500 will be available as a demonstrator for a test drive, along with many, many other Honda models. By the way, motofun also has a large number of used machines, so it's always worth a visit.
