Honda CB500: Engine

The newly unveiled bike by Honda is powered by a 501cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that churns out 27bhp and 43.3 Nm of peak torque.

While the power output is relatively modest for a 500cc motorcycle, the healthy torque figure is expected to deliver relaxed cruising performance and smooth everyday rideability.

Honda CB500: Features and Hardware

The CB500 uses a conventional telescopic front fork with fork gaiters, while the rear gets gas-charged twin shock absorbers, staying true to its classic roadster character.

The motorcycle gets front and rear disc brakes with dual channel ABS.

Other key features include:

Round LED headlamp
Analogue instrument cluster with a digital inset
Gear position indicator
Odometer and trip meters
Switchable traction control

Alongside the CB500, Honda has also refreshed its 350cc modern-classic lineup. The CB350, CB350RS and CB350C now feature updated graphics and darker styling elements to give them a more contemporary look.

The update is purely cosmetic, with no changes to the engine, chassis or mechanical components. Honda aims to keep its 350cc range fresh and competitive in the growing retro motorcycle segment.
