Honda CB500F Motorcycle - Street (2013-2026)

The Honda CB500F, a popular naked sportbike, has been a staple in its category from 2013 to 2026. Throughout this period, it has consistently featured a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin DOHC engine, delivering around 47 hp and 43 Nm of torque, with a slight 4% boost in performance noted from 2019. Initially offered in Standard and ABS versions, ABS progressively became a standard feature across most models. The CB500F has undergone several significant mid-cycle updates rather than full generation changes. Key revisions include a more aggressive styling and LED lighting in 2016, engine refinements and an assist/slipper clutch in 2019, and a major chassis overhaul in 2022 with a Showa SFF-BP inverted fork and dual front disc brakes. Further technological and styling updates, including a new TFT display and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), were introduced in 2024. For 2026, the model is expected to be rebranded as the CB500 Hornet in some markets, maintaining its core engine and aggressive styling. FAQ:
