2019 Honda CB500F

The CB500F occupies a unique spot in our lineup: an aggressively-styled streetfighter that’s a great choice for a wide range of riders. And for 2019, the CB500F is better than ever.

We took this awesome all-rounder and gave it more power, more style, a nicer sound, and a whole bunch of other functional upgrades. What didn’t change is this bike’s mission: to put a new generation of riders on one of the best street machines possible, with some of the widest range of opportunities. The new CB500F isn’t a bike that forces you into a mold—it’s a blank canvas that lets you paint your own picture of motorcycling.

So check it out in person at your Honda Dealer. Because you won’t realize how right this bike is until you sit on one or—even better—ride one for yourself.

• Perfection is in the Details.

The CB500F boasts a ton of upgrades this year, like more midrange power, better acceleration, new fuel injectors, a new supersport styled dual-outlet muffler, refined transmission internals, a new rear shock, a slipper/assist clutch and much, much more.

• Positioned for Success.

The CB500F’s classic riding position lets you sit up straighter, without your weight on your arms, so it gives you a great field of vision when you’re riding around town or commuting. Plus, this year we’ve given it a new, stiffer, premium tapered handlebar that increases steering feedback. The bike delivers a comfortable ride for passengers, too.

• Modern Style.

The CB500F is designed to be timeliness yet forward-thinking, with an LED headlight and minimal bodywork. The result is a bike that looks exactly like a modern motorcycle should.
