HONDA CB500F

HONDA CB500F

ALL-ROUND STREET MACHINE

The CB500F is an aggressively styled street fighter; it’s one of Honda’s tried-and-trusted formulas, with uncompromising lines that further elevate its technical and mechanical aspects. The CB500F has an entertaining twin-cylinder engine wrapped in a simple, lightweight, sporty chassis, which can be as much fun for a veteran rider as it is for those still building their riding experience.

Compact dimensions and welcoming manners make it a great tool for learning plus sensible running costs are ideal for commuting. Those same attributes also make it a genuine pleasure for weekend outings along sweeping winding roads.

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Honda twins are renowned for their durability, and the CB500F engine is one of our best. With an improvement in low-end horsepower and torque this year, the parallel-twin delivers responsive output in all RPM levels.
