I think it says a lot about Honda that, out of 45 motorcycles, the NX500 is the only modern bike I’ve bought twice. With 515- and 435-mile days done, it showed me my focus is long-distance travel, comfort and easy trails. Next: Transalp 750.
Honda’s respect for individuality and diversity inspires me. As a trans rider, it means a lot. Motorcycling is one community, and companies can help foster belonging. This Pride Month, let’s hold brands accountable and keep pushing for a better
A few shots from my last motorcycle trip—some I wouldn’t usually post, but they’ve grown on me. Hope you enjoy them. What’s your favorite? Taken with a Hasselblad H3DII-31 and HC 80, riding the Honda NX500—possibly the most overlooked travel bike
Thoughts from anyone who’s owned sport tourers or touring bikes after moving from ADV bikes? Since stopping green laning, I’ve rediscovered road travel. The Honda NX500 brought back precision and fun. Now I’m eyeing a dedicated GT—shame there’s no
It’s been a stressful few weeks. Hopefully next week I can get up early, take the Honda NX500, and enjoy a long motorcycle trip. Tomorrow is a big day: if my WWII WD bike sells, I can pay Dad’s bills. I’m definitely a Honda girl now.
Motorcycles helped me find freedom, friendship, and a community that kept me going. Caring for Dad through cancer has been hard, but I’m holding onto hope, my truth, and the joy you all bring. Love you all, Lucy
Has anyone owned a Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports? After a 548-mile day on the Honda NX500, I’m considering the Africa Twin, BMW 1250GS/1300GS, or V-Strom 1050XT. DCT or manual?
Hi everyone, playing guitar again this week has been such a relief. I’m rediscovering Dylan, Baez, Eric Johnson, jazz and Emily Remler. Also looking forward to moving and transitioning full-time—Scotland, Somerset, Devon or Cheshire?
Looking forward to more motorcycle adventures on the Honda NX500 over the next few weeks, probably in Scotland for another epic long day. Here’s a shot from the lakes earlier this year.
Turned the Honda NX500 into an adventure coffee shop 🤭 It’s been great riding again, enjoying its sport-touring mode. Today I’m checking out the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 and 800, then the Yamaha Tracer 9GT+ AMT for next year’s trips with Dad.
It’s been a very hard week. My dad’s youngest brother passed away from lung cancer. I’ll miss him deeply—he was a truly special, talented artist and a Krishna devotee. On brighter news, Dad starts coming off his prostate cancer medication Friday.
I absolutely love my Honda NX500 :3 The only thing that could replace it is a new Africa Twin Adventure Sports with a 19” front wheel, so I can take my dad—who has cancer—on two-up rides after we move house. The NX is reliable, capable, and
It’s been an eventful week, but in a good way. I’ve been talking a lot with Mum since telling her I’ll start transitioning after we move. Rebuilding trust will take time, but we’ve watched Dior shows and makeup videos together, which feels
I can’t wait to ride the Honda NX500 up to Scotland again. Next time, I’m planning to do the Borders loop. I usually spend most of my time in D&G, so riding around the Borders will be fun. I love Scotland. First, I’ll change the oil and filter when
I’m considering my next touring motorcycle to replace or complement the Honda NX500. BMW reliability outside warranty remains a concern, as do Triumph and Ducati. I also want to research engine heat on the new V2S Multistrada—especially around the
