Honda has revealed its updated CMX500 range, which debuts upgraded tech features as well as a higher-spec S Edition variant.
For 2020, the LAMS-friendly cruiser sports a complete LED lighting package, new digital instruments, a slipper/assist clutch and enhanced suspension.
The bike is now available from $8599 plus on-road costs, in three colour options: Graphite Black, Matte Jeans Blue Metallic and Matte Armoured Silver.
Joining the CMX range for the first time is the new S Edition, which is priced from $8999, and boasts a number of factory-fitted accessories like a headlight cowl, black fork covers and a diamond-stitch seat. It’s offered exclusively in Matte Axis Grey Metallic paint.
The CMX500 retains its low-seat height (690mm) and highly approachable ergonomics.
As before, the CMX is motivated by a 471cc parallel twin, delivering 35kW and 43Nm.
