CB500x vs Versys 650
CB500x is about 430 lbs wet weight. Versys is about 470 wet. How much will the extra 40 pounds actually affect things?

I think any sub 500lb motorcycle will feel light. Don't base your decision on weight alone.

I jumped on my wife's 2016 CB500X after riding my 600lb Triumph and it felt like a moped sub 500lb feels super light if your coming from a bigger bike. Its like those ankle weights wear them all day then take them off and you feel like you can jump a mile.

Nearly 10%, maybe more if the weight is higher up on the V.
