CB500F
INTRODUCING THE CB500F
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 famous for their versatility, and the CB500F's engine is one of our best ever. With increased low-end horsepower and torque this year, the parallel-twin offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.
PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, nine-stage preload and 120mm of travel give you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.
UNIQUE STYLE
Less is more when it comes to the CB500F. With its lean, progressive style, the CB500F is a motorcycle that looks great while still providing incredible value and performance.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
Our Anti-Lock Braking System can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces. It's a great choice whether you're using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence.
COMPACT EXHAUST
The CB500F's compact exhaust system has a twin-outlet muffler and large-diameter pipes that put out a pleasing exhaust note.
DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION
A new, modern, easy-to-read LCD screen features digital speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
PROGRAMMED INJECTION
The CB500F's PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions for crisp throttle response throughout a wide variety of riding conditions.
