4 key observations having owned a Honda NX500 for 1 month

The Honda OEM centre stand is pricey & not available with the service centre.

BHPian pankajbhoir46 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Some more observations after about a month of ownership:

  1. Wider footpegs will really improve the overall comfort feeling, current pegs are too small & slippery. Motourenn had it at a really great price (3.8k) but got sold out before I could buy it! hope they will bring it back in stock soon.
  2. For my height (5.10) with the stock windscreen I felt a lot of wind buffeting at speeds upwards of 70-80 km/h, it is not the direct wind blast but very annoying buffeting.
  3. Put Motourenn radiator guard & side stand extender, next on the list is a good quality centre stand. The Honda OEM centre stand is pricey & not available with the service centre, waiting for Carbon Racing to launch their centre stand, have used their products earlier & found them to be really well made.
  4. The bike's headlights are very inadequate & the bike certainly needs Aux lights, have plans to put it but it is not an immediate priority. I will also need to make some arrangements to install the Aux lights as I have not yet got any protection bars for the bike.

Posting some pictures of the short rides done till now, haven't ridden it much yet but the overall experience with the bike till now has been good.

This bike is a fantastic commuter & at low speeds, the balance is really nice. The rear suspension is a little bouncy. I am yet to try different preload settings so maybe I can make it feel a little better.
