Is that a deal or what? I bet $4k takes it.

It may be a good deal, but that bike is the epitome of boring.
The entire cb 500 platform is the white bread of motorcycling. That, and the 650 v-strom... easily forgettable bikes. If you want to pay attention to the scenery more than the machine, they're fine.

100% agree as I’ve had the 500 F/Rebel/X and they’re great at what they do. Easy commute / ride. And they’re great at that!
I’m having irrational thoughts….

Its a punched out ninja 500 engine.
I'd say its worse than the sv650 derived v-strom engine.
Utilitarian design. As @mimico_polak said, good commuter. Boring as dry toast.

I suppose if you’re looking at a budget fun adv bike, best bet is a middleweight KTM?
I actually really like those. That and the VSTROM 650 are at the top of my list for replacement of the Scrambler.

A CB500f and my partner's v star 250. Ironically back in the day (2010), I sold my 2nd gen SV650, and got much less than what I paid. With any luck, I'll have a Ninja 1000 shortly, since the riding position in my current SV650x is too aggressive and not great on my neck and shoulders.
Mimico I think Vstrom 650 might be too top heavy for you especially with a full ( size large) tank.
What is your inseam?
I had three of them and enjoyed them but a few too many near drops. None of that with the CB500x.
VFR800 will give you more thrills and a lower seat height.
Tho more aggressive seating position. It was one bike I missed out on
Thrill for you.
first time the VTEC kicks in you'll have a BIG grin.

I’m gonna go with 28”. I know the VSTROMS can have a lower seat fitted.
It’s a problem for future MP, not current MP.
They can also have a lowering kit which I had on one of mine but I have a 30" inseam and had boots with an extra inch ...
You could consider Milwaukee Trooper boots for an extra inch. Decent boots too. I have mine here tho I went with a slightly taller boot to protect my leg break.
Also you might consider the RE Shotgun ...even the stock seat is under 800 mm.

Wondering what boot that is? I’m vertically challenged when it comes to my Africa twin.
That boot looks like it would work well for me
