New 2021 Honda CB500F ABS Sportbike Motorcycle

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.

• STEP SEAT: The CB500F offers a step seat with a low height. Perfect for around-town riding or out in the canyons, it also offers plenty of room for a passenger and is specially designed to fit a wide range of riders.
• PASSENGER HANDHOLDS: Sturdy passenger handholds provide security for your passenger or tie-down points for smaller items.
• SLIPPER ASSIST CLUTCH: The slipper/assist clutch lets us lighten up the clutch-lever effort by 45 percent, but automatically locks up tight when you release it.
• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: A modern, easy-to-read LCD screen features digital speedometer, tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
• DISC BRAKES: The front 320mm disc brake and 240mm rear feature drilled, petal-style rotors that provide strong stopping power.
• LED HEADLIGHT: The CB500F’s dual-lens LED headlight gives the front end a cutting-edge look and also projects plenty of light on the road for visibility.
• SMOOTHER TRANSMISSION: Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
• ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS): ABS now comes standard on the CB500F, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal conditions.
• CAST WHEELS: Strong and stylish, the CB500F’s Y-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, and are another CB500F feature that just makes sense.
• PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, nine-stage preload, 4.7 inches of travel and large-diameter shock give you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.
• STEEL-TUBE FRAME: A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. Stronger and lighter, the CB500F’s diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
