The 2023 Honda CB500F: All Around Athlete
Within the 2023 Honda lineup are the infamous 500 twins, and this is Honda’s Naked 500 twin, the CB500F. An all-around athlete may be the best description for the CB500F since it is a combination of the best virtues of the Japanese builder’s family of 500s.
Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be. The CB500F draws 47 hp from the 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine and sends it to the rear tire, controlled via the Pro-Link® single shock with nine-position spring-preload adjustability.
The comfortable seating position allows riders to carve the Honda CB500F through the turns with confidence thanks to the 41mm Showa SFF-BP front fork. Honda does a great job keeping the rider in control by including ABS braking and a slipper clutch. All-around athlete makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
The 2023 Honda CB500F starts at $6,799 USD / $8,786 CAD.
