2024 HONDA CB500F - UH00037-C

2024 Honda CB500F

STREET SAVVY
Life’s complicated enough these days—which is precisely why a motorcycle like our CB500F is just so right. Here’s a machine that’s very attraction is in its simplicity, purity, and authenticity. It’s light, affordable, narrow, and features naked-motorcycle/streetfighter bodywork (updated this year for an even cleaner look). Its light weight and wide powerband make it a great choice as a first bike, but its famous Honda durability and engineering mean you can ride it for years to come. A new Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display keeps you informed, and the 41mm Showa upside-down SFF-BP fork, dual-disc front brake, radial-mount four-piston calipers, and standard anti-lock brakes (ABS) are nice premium touches.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

• DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
  Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CB500F’s engine is one of our best. With plenty of low-end horsepower and torque, this parallel twin offers accessible performance across a wide rpm range. 
   
• PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI)
  The injectors on the CB500F are part of the reason the bike makes more power in the critical 3000-7000 rpm range. The bike’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.

HANDLING

• ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
  Standard equipment on every 2024 CB500F, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal conditions. 
   
• UPSIDE-DOWN FORK
  The CB500F features an inverted-fork design that makes the front end much more rigid, for more precise steering input and feedback. The fork itself is a Showa Separate Function Fork--Big Piston (SFF-BP) design—one of the best in its class. 
   
• ALUMINUM CAST WHEELS
  Strong and stylish, the CB500F’s aluminum wheels feature a five-spoke design. The light wheels improve handling and lessen wheel inertia too. 
   
• PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
  The CB500F features special shock settings for improved ride comfort. Its sophisticated chassis uses Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension to increase riding comfort and handling.
   
• STEEL-TUBE FRAME
  A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. The CB500F’s diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe connects to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling. 

ENGINEERING

• SLIPPER ASSIST CLUTCH
  The slipper/assist clutch lets us lighten up the clutch-lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems, but automatically locks up tight when you release it.
   
• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION
  A modern, easy-to-read LCD screen features a digital speedometer, tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators. 
   
• LIGHT SWINGARM CONSTRUCTION
  The CB500F uses a swingarm that’s over two pounds lighter than the previous design, but is just as strong. It’s one of the reasons the entire Honda 500 family handles so well. 
   
• DISC BRAKES
  The CB500F features large twin front disc brakes so you get strong, predictable stopping power. The front-brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit. 
   
• LED HEADLIGHT
  The CB500F’s dual-lens LED headlight gives the front end a cutting-edge look and also projects plenty of light on the road for visibility. 
   
• SMOOTHER TRANSMISSION
  Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time.

COMFORT

• 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 room for a passenger and is specially designed to fit a wide range of riders. 
   
• PASSENGER HANDHOLDS
  Sturdy passenger handholds provide security for your passenger or tie-down points for smaller items. 

STYLE

• UNIQUE STYLE
  Less is more when it comes to the CB500F. With its lean, progressive style, the CB500F is a motorcycle that looks great while still providing incredible value and performance.  
• COMPACT EXHAUST
  The CB500F’s exhaust system features a twin-outlet muffler and large-diameter pipes, for better power and an exhaust note you’ll love every time you ride.
