Hello
I'm just about to get a CB500x hopefully this month
as theres zero % interest deals at motoden :)
i take it everyone recommends getting one :)
I've ridden since 92. Recently lots of speed triples, then a ktm 690sm (which i hated!! )
had a 4 year break from biking so back on the road this summer.

no will next week
one issue may be seat height - though I had no issue with speed triple which seems the same
or my KTM 690SM.
if the seat is an issue i could go CB500F, but can't help feeling the X is the way to go
esp as I'm a city rider - which being tall and upright is a massive bonus.

mac, If you haven't already, look at 2 threads: cb500x saddle and rider height, & LOWERING. They cover the height issue, & various ways to deal with it, in detail.

So I sat on one today
and I could get both feet more of less flat on the floor (I'm 5'8 30 inside leg (in jeans no idea what it actually is!!) )
plus i was just in a pair of DM shoes so in bike boots will be a bit 'taller'.
Going to do a test ride next week :)
