The 2023 Honda CB500XA stands out in its class largely because it’s one of the most well-rounded adventure / dual-sport motorcycles available for its displacement. Its 471 cc parallel twin delivers LAMS approved power, yet remains smooth, tractable, and useful across a wide RPM range — whether you’re commuting, light touring, or heading off the beaten track. Honda’s updates over recent years (such as the Showa USD 41 mm SFF-BP front forks, revised rear shock with preload adjustability, lighter wheels, upgraded dual front brakes, and a redesigned swingarm) have noticeably improved handling, stability, and ride comfort, especially compared with earlier versions and many competitors.
Where the CB500XA really beats its rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure or CF Moto 450 MT is in its build quality, reliability, and low running costs. Owners regularly report that these bikes go past very high mileages with minimal fuss. Servicing intervals and costs tend to be more forgiving, and Honda’s reputation for sturdy components gives peace of mind – particularly for new riders or anyone planning to use their bike hard or often.
Additionally, its ergonomics are very well sorted: a comfortable upright posture, reasonable seat height, and controllable weight make it more accessible and usable in varied terrain than some of the more aggressively off-road styled or heavier competition. All this gives the CB500XA a strong value proposition — not just "good for the money" but simply better in more ways for many riders.
Our bike has been fitted with pannier racks and protective engine/body guards.
There are 7 CB500XA's for sale in Australia, ours is the 2nd cheapest but certainly the best value when you consider the accessories fitted.
WARRANTY
This motorcycle comes with a statutory 3 month warranty and qualifies for an optional 3-Year warranty.
Sometimes things go wrong with vehicles. If you’re considering a used motorcycle, you may also want to consider how you might cover the costs of unexpected, potentially high-cost repairs down the track.

Allowance towards emergency accommodation and car hire in the event of a breakdown.
