FEATURES
PERFORMANCE
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.
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.
STYLE
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.
NEW 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.
HANDLING
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
Available ABS on the CB500F helps you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal conditions.
