Zombie must be hiding in the palmettos from The Man, again....so it might be safe to report that we have another Honda in the garage.
My son and I found a 2014 CB500X for him - with 1500 miles on the clock - and 7 months of factory warranty remaining - for a pretty good price from a nearby dealer.
Poor kid went clear across Ohio recently to buy a 650 of some kind - only to have the dealer sell it before he got there - even though he called twice to confirm that he was on the road and coming with cash in hand.
I'm no expert - but have done a few car purchases, and a pair of scooter purchases recently - so I stepped in to do some polite bargaining and he came home with a pretty solid bike. The X is an upright riding position, big boned version of the street CBR500, almost 32" in the saddle. I helped him out on some of the price on the condition that he agree to wear a new hi viz leather Icon and a new hi viz full face helmet.
I continue to be impressed with the price and quality of some Honda bikes. 500 used to be a big bike - no more - but it's plenty big enough.
He got the white version of this...
The three versions of the 500's....the X is on the left, R in the middle and the naked F on the right...
Don't really need another child to worry about out there on the roads - but I'm learning how little control I have over things....
So, I put hi viz on him, got him up off of the tank, will turn him over to God.
