1986 HONDA CX 650 TURBO. 700 MILES FROM NEW. STUNNING ORIGINAL GENUINE UK BIKE | eBay

I always thought these were nice in a fugly sort of way. My friend has a 500 with around 150k on it and it never let him down. Started every time he hit the button and there was virtually no maintainence performed on it.

Still, $35k CDN???

Nice one. I loved this line from the ad:
"SUZUKIS EFFORT, THE XN85, A BIKE I HAD BRAND NEW IN I THINK, 1983 WAS A GREAT LOOKER BUT WOULDN'T PULL A HEN OFF THE NEST".

Dirt bike with an ownership? It’s the blue plate tax.

It still goes under regular motorcycle insurance. Also has a small front wheel, would be a PIA finding knobbies for it other than TKC80's.

There are a small percentage of blue plate dirt bikes, that fall under the motocross category, and blue plate. I know a friend with a TE250, paying 90/Yr. I just gota 250XCF-W, also, 90/Yr, both blue plated.

Broker said bikes like the CRF-L, WR-R, etc are still looked at as motorcycles/dual-sports

Rally raid looks like fun, but that price is creeping up within striking distance of a T7 (if you could find one). If I am buying a 500, I want it cheap. If I am spending a bunch, the T7 seems better to me.

EDIT:
Who had the awesome looking beige 500X and switched to T7? Someone here, @ScorpionT16 maybe? IIRC they were selling around 5K. No doubt the rally raid improves functionality but adding 60% to the price means it needs a special buyer.

I take it those arent factory mods, who knows how they were installed

Its getting close to in price to the T7 as mentioned above, which is wayyyy better
you could also get some nice used and more capable ADV bikes in that price range that would be better in every way(used KTMs come to mind, also some bmw's)

Better to just get a 2019+ Model, it comes with the 19" front wheel, is already taller from factory, has a nicer TFT display and has a slipper clutch. Once those came out, the only valid RR mod is perhaps the suspension. No one has managed to dent or bend the stock alloy wheels, and the bike, even raised, imo isn't built to go that rough to dent them. That price is about $1.5k too high imo...

I wouldn't say it nearing T7 price category, OTD the T7 was around $14.2k. The T7 is also much taller. A lot like the CBX for it height, and great gas milage. I'd also say, it's cheaper to maintain and mod. T7 parts are going for quite a premium.

No, the WR250X was street legal from the factory, unlike a CRF450R that wasn't.

Supermoto compared to a Motocross (y) Supermoto would be pretty useless if you can't blue plate it or race it,
Motocross bike would be pretty useless if you do road plate it and don't race it.

That is good value if the owner will negotiate some. It is currently priced 6000 below what I paid for my t7. It arguably has better suspension than my t7, stronger wheels, and lighter weight. This RR 500 is ideal for a shorter rider like my wife.
To compare it to a t7 is a bit unfair as I doubt many will be cross shopping between a cb500x and a tenere or f800.
It is a lean and mean adv machine with an emphasis on adv rather than highway touring. It is awesome for beginners, shorter riders, women, or anyone looking for a smaller lighter adv machine WITH Honda reliability.

Brand new 2020 CB500X is 7800$
2017. 2018, 2019, 2020 :sneaky: his bike depreciated less in 4 years of use then the stuff he attached to it? How is that possible.

CB500X > Honda Canada's Adventure Motorcycle

CB500X's lightweight diamond-shaped steel frame makes manoeuvrability easy & minimizes vibration. You ready to take the road less travelled?

If it's stage 2 RR, seat height is really close to T7.
