where did u hear it?

its just normal tyre size.

not just the cc, its 2 cylinder vs 4 cylinder. but honestly its quite a toss up. not that significant a difference. i think people generally make too much fuss about the maintenance difference when in reality you just dump your coin in your wallet each day into a tong and will get enough for the difference (unless you really eat up the miles la).

but if i have only one bike and use it to commute, i will probably pick the cb500x over the cb650r simply because i think box and panniers spoil the neo cafe look too much but look right at home on an adventure style bike.....

Front back...easily rm1100 - 1300 for a set of good tires

Shocking?

the new cb500x is almost 36k, can get mt07
