The VT500 is a bulletproof and FUN bike (I've had TWO).. the CX is slow, heavy boring, busy sounding and was prone to waterpump failure, crank seal failure, valve issues and general crankiness. As they get older the issues get worse. I know some folks have put many miles on em,(in CX650 guise) and i know folks who spent more time working on them than riding them.
