Hailing from the same bloodline as the massively popular CRF1000L Africa Twin, the CB500X is every bit ready for your first biking adventure, whether in the urban jungle or touring on a weekend escape - all for riders with an A2 licence. The ruggedly styled CB500X has a smooth liquid-cooled 500cc parallel twin and long-travel suspension to take on rough country roads. A generous 17.5-litre fuel tank and great fuel economy let you ride a long way between fill-ups. The CB500X is now available with three years’ affordable finance, either on a PCP scheme or personal loan, from your Honda dealer. So how does it work? The personal loan is essentially what it says, a personal loan. The PCP scheme lets you put down a deposit, then a guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV) is calculated. The dealer then deducts this from the price of the bike and monthly payments are what’s left. At the end of the deal, either choose to pay the GMFV and keep the bike, return it, or part-exchange it for a new bike.
