In years gone by everyone wanted to own a super bike; they’re glamorous, sexy and offer, usually, outrageous performance. More importantly you can act like your race heroes seen on TV. However, over the past decade, or so, less of these machines are seen on our roads – so why is that?
Modern retro bikes are becoming more desirable as time goes on. There’s just something cool about riding around on a bike that makes you feel you’ve travelled back in time, sort of. Quite a few manufacturers are jumping on the time travel train, like Triumph with their twins, BMW with their R nineT range, Ducati with their Scramblers, and the like. But without doubt my favourite one has been the Kawasaki z900RS, and still is after a splendid week of riding it once again.
With fuel prices rocketing and everything else for that matter, isn’t it about time to get something that doesn’t cost a fortune to run? If you’ve answered yes, this new scooter from Suzuki could be what you’re looking for.
Well, that’s the review over then, let’s pack up and watch TV. Why, what’s wrong you ask? Absolutely nothing, but the title does sum up the new Honda CB500X in one phrase. You see, every time I let my friends ride the new Honda, they all came back with exactly the same comment, myself included.
