Engine & Performance
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.
PROGRAMMED FUEL 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.
SLIPPER-ASSIST CLUTCH
A slipper/assist clutch lightens up the clutch-lever effort and automatically locks up tight when you release it.
Dashboard
Easy-to-read LCD screen features digital speedometer, tachometer, gear position indicator, clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
Lighting
LED LIGHTING
Dual-lens LED headlight and LED tail and braking lights further highlight the CB500F’s street machine styling, projecting plenty of light for optimum visibility.
