The Honda NX500 was unveiled at EICMA 2023 as a replacement for the CB500X.

It is powered by the same 471cc parallel-twin motor as the outgoing CB500X.

While the front looks rather different, the rear view is quite familiar, with the twin-exit exhaust system.

One big area of change is instrumentation, with the NX getting a new 5-inch colour TFT display.

New wheels save 1.5kg of unsprung mass, while overall weight has gone down by 3kg.

The NX500 features LED lighting all around, with a new design for the tail-lamp.

The headlight has also been redesigned, giving the bike a new fascia.

Spring rate and damping settings for the Showa USD fork and monoshock have been tweaked.
