Can one bike fulfill all of a rider’s desires? Well, the Honda CB500F certainly comes close. It’s ideally sized, entirely modern and perfectly priced. Beneath the streetfighter styling lies our proven 500-class twin, delivering the kind of low and mid-range torque that makes everything from relaxed riding to canyon carving a blast. And for 2021, our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) comes as a standard feature, for controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions. Also this year brings a new rich, Darkness Black Metallic paint scheme. Looking for a motorcycle with the right mix of features, performance, and style? Look no further than the CB500F.
