Vehicle Information
Honda CB500 Motorcycle - Street (1971-2013)
The Honda CB500 series, produced from 1971 to 2013, represents a lineage of versatile motorcycles that underwent several major evolutions. Initially launched with the CB500 Four (1971-1978), an air-cooled inline-four model, it later saw the introduction of the CB500T (1975-1976) with a parallel-twin engine. After a hiatus, the CB500 name reappeared in 1993 with a new liquid-cooled parallel-twin platform (PC26/PC32), which evolved into the CBF500 (2004-2007) to meet Euro-2 standards. In 2013, Honda introduced an entirely new 500cc platform with the CB500F, CBR500R, and CB500X models, all featuring a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, marking a complete redesign for a new generation of riders. These changes reflect significant breaks in engine and chassis design over the decades. FAQ:
