Motorbikes - New

Less is so much more in the brand-new CB500F Naked Road Bike. Everything you need in a thrill ride commuter and weekend companion, with nothing that you don't. It's the brother of the Sport CBR500R and the Adventure CB500X, but without the frills. It's got all the power with a bit more ease and comfort. And all you need is a learner's licence to call it your own.

It has high handlebars, a balanced riding position together with a low 785mm seat that suits a wide range of riders' heights. It also has a weight that's light and easy to flick around corners. Although simplified in style, the power is all there with a brand-new, liquid-cooled 471cc DOHC parallel-twin engine and Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that gives it grunt at any RPM. And if you haven't already noticed, check out the hot-looking halogen solo headlight. Others certainly will.
