The supplied figures span 429.9 lb (195 kg) to 438.7 lb (199 kg) for wet/running weight and 392.4 lb (178 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.

It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 45th percentile among 77 compatible Honda sport bikes.
Does the Honda CB500X weight change by model year?

How much does the Honda CB500X fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.57 US gal (17.3 L) to 4.68 US gal (17.7 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 28.4 lb (12.9 kg) to 29.1 lb (13.2 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda CB500X with an average-size rider?
