Features

• DOHC twin-cylinder engine
• Programmed fuel injection
  • The PGM-FI system adjusts fuel levels based on parameters like temperature, elevation, throttle position, and riding style to increase power and torque from 3000-7000 RPM and improve throttle response.
• Compact exhaust
  • The exhaust system features twin outlets. It’s a small detail, but it looks great, and the sound will bring a smile to your face every time you twist the throttle.
• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
  • Our Anti-Lock Braking System is standard, providing confident stopping power and added assurance in challenging conditions, such as wet roads or loose gravel.
• Showa® SFF-BP fork
  • A top-notch 41mm inverted Showa® Separate Function Fork—Big Piston (SFF-BP) front end provides the rigidity needed for precise steering and feedback.
• Pro-Link® rear suspension
  • Our Pro-Link® rear suspension features tailored shock settings and 4.7 inches of travel, enhancing ride comfort and handling.
• Steel-tube frame
  • The 35mm steel-tube mainframe seamlessly links to the engine through four mounts, providing a rock-solid foundation that ensures a smooth ride and quick handling.
• Cast wheels
  • Solid and stylish, the lightweight, multi-spoke, cast aluminum wheels are designed to improve handling by lessening rotating inertia and are sized to fit a wide variety of sticky street tires.
• Lightweight swingarm
  • The swingarm, utilized across the entire Honda 500 lineup, is nearly two pounds lighter and stronger than the previous version. This is one reason for the exceptional handling.
• Slipper clutch
  • The slipper clutch improves power delivery, reduces clutch-lever pull effort by 45 percent, and helps prevent rear-wheel hop during hard deceleration.
• Smooth transmission
  • Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smooth shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
• Naked sportbike styling
  • Embracing the ‘less is more’ philosophy, the sleek, angular design seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with exceptional value to create an all-around package that packs a lot for a little.
• Step-up seat
  • The seat is dual-level and low-height, designed to accommodate inseams of all sizes. Perfect for around town or carving the canyons, it also offers room for a passenger and is ergonomically shaped to fit a wide range of riders.
• Passenger handholds
  • Sturdy passenger handholds offer security for your passengers or can be used as tie-down points for cargo items.
• Genuine Honda accessories
  • You can equip your new CB500F with a range of Honda accessories. These include a centerstand, tank bag, wind visor, and 12V accessory socket.
• LED headlight
  • The dual-lens LED headlight gives the front end a modern, cutting-edge look while still projecting plenty of light on the road for visibility.
• Digital instruments
