Performance. Value. Versatility.
It’s our mission to connect riders with the right bike. And the Honda CB500F is a favorite of a wide range of riders—newbies included. It sports minimal bodywork, a classic riding position, a 30.9-inch seat height and a powerful, smooth twin-cylinder engine. The CB500F embraces the best of motorcycling, and delivers performance and versatility at a great price. Get on one and you’ll quickly discover that in the world of mid-sized streetbikes it doesn’t get much better than this.
Positioned For Success: The CB500F’s classic riding position lets you sit up straighter, without your weight on your arms, so it gives you a great field of vision when you’re riding around town or commuting. (You can always tuck in tighter when desired.) Plus, it delivers a comfortable ride for passengers, too.
Modern Style: The CB500F is designed to be timeliness yet forward-thinking, with a LED headlight and minimal bodywork. The result is a bike that looks exactly like a modern motorcycle should.
Perfection Is In The Details: The CB500F is all about the basics done perfectly. Just check out the adjustable front-brake lever, great shift feel, and crisp exhaust note.
- LED Headlight: The CB500F’s LED headlight gives the front end a cutting-edge look and also projects plenty of light on the road for visibility.
- Digital Instrumentation: A full LCD blue-tinted screen features a digital speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters, and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
- Cast Wheels: Strong and stylish, the CB500F’s 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, and are another CB500F feature that just makes sense.
- Unique Style: Less is more when it comes to the CB500F. With its classic, clean, progressive style, the CB500F is a motorcycle that looks great while still providing incredible value and performance.
- Step Seat: The CB500F offers a step seat with a low height. Perfect for around-town riding or out in the canyons, it also offers plenty of room for a passenger and is specially designed to fit a wide range of riders.
- Steel-Tube Frame: A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. A take on a classic construction, the CB500F’s diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
- DOHC Twin-Cylinder Engine: Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CB500F engine is one of our best ever. Using the same piston bore size as our CBR600RR sportbike, the parallel-twin engine offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.
- Pro-Link® Rear Suspension: A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, nine-stage preload, and 4.7 inches of travel give you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.
- Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Available ABS on the CB500F helps you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal conditions.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): 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.
- Disc Brakes: The front 320mm disc brake and 240mm rear provide strong stopping power.
- Rear Grips: Sturdy rear passenger grips offer a firm handhold for your passenger or tie-down points for smaller items.
- Trim Exhaust: The CB500F’s compact exhaust system is a perfect example of the bike’s overall philosophy. It’s compact, it looks great, and it sounds awesome too, with a crisp exhaust note you’re going to love.
