Hello,
I can't really say much about the price as I bought CB500X '13 new and at that time didn't really thought about RTW. Since then I've added Rally Raid kit second hand which is probably hard to find but it used to be that people bought RR3 and figured out that bike becomes too high... and that way I managed to keep the expense low as I didn't buy the bike for trip which I did 2017/18.
I can only say... For me the CB500X RR3 was perfect choice. It was (still is) my first bike and I'm happy it's not overpowered as I'd probably be dead by now. Also I've done some serious terrain and that excludes Indian & Pakistani Himalaya & Nepal Mustang valley with hsinclai. Bike can go long way, well for me 54000km during the trip and I'm clocking 101500km on the bike now. Economy is brilliant, spare parts (excluding RR kits/bearings) are available and mechanics are able to cope with it.
Apart from maintenance, bearings and repairing what I broke offroading it holds incredibly well. I need to change shims to adjust valve clearances for the first time in 100000km and clutch holds fine as well.
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions or share tips on the CB500X or just talk.
Hello goldfever & hsinclai!  I need come back to London for chat &  , indeed.
