Honda CB500X Price Slashed By Over Rs. 1 Lakh In India

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has silently revised the price of its middleweight adventure motorcycle, the Honda CB500X.

Interestingly, a few months ago, Honda updated its 500 cc line-up in Europe, including the CB500X. The updated model is expected to be launched in India this year, and the recent price cut could be because Honda wants to exhaust the existing stock before the updated model arrives.
