As we look into the adventure motorcycle market of 2023, the Honda CB500X Adventure Series stands out as an impressive contender. This dual-sport motorcycle, echoing Honda’s superb pedigree, offers a thrilling balance of performance, comfort, and reliability that arguably sets a new benchmark in its category.
Coming equipped with a robust 471cc Parallel-Twin DOHC engine, the Honda CB500X promises a balance of impressive power and smooth, manageable ride quality. Applicable to inexperienced riders looking to venture into the adventure segment as well as seasoned bikers wanting a reliable, spirited ride that’s not overly aggressive. The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) improves fuel efficiency and ensures excellent throttle response in various conditions.
As an adventure bike, the CB500X is built to handle different terrains smoothly. The Pro-Link Rear Suspension, coupled with the long-stroke front fork, allows ample travel of 5.9 and 5.3 inches at the front and rear respectively. These features ensure a cushioned ride over bumpy terrains and city potholes alike.
Safety is not compromised for performance in the 2023 Honda CB500X. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) enhances stopping power, keeping the bike well within control during unexpected braking scenarios, casting off a significant safety concern for riders navigating tricky terrains or city traffic.
On the touring side of things, the adjustable windscreen is a welcome addition. Riders can easily tweak it to offer the best wind protection, maintaining a comfortable ride for longer trips.
Additional mechanical specifications, like a six-speed transmission, #520 O-ring-sealed chain, 15T/41T final drive, and four-piston caliper dual 296mm front disc brakes, further solidify the 2023 CB500X’s place as a potent dual sport motorcycle.
Dressed in its functional yet stylish ensemble, the Honda CB500X doesn’t conform to the sharp angles and aggressive appearance of some of its competitors. However, it doesn't need to. Its combination of sleek style, impressive specs, and solid performance render it a significantly worthy choice for dual-sport enthusiasts.
With an MSRP of $7299, this motorcycle is neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its segment. Yet, when considering the overall package, including its technology, capabilities, and a brand heritage like Honda’s, it remains a strong value proposition.
In short, the 2023 Honda Motorcycle Adventure Series CB500X offers a comprehensive package of power, handling, safety, comfort, and style. It undeniably stands as a potential leader in 2023’s dual-sport motorcycle market.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
