“Excellent second hand choice for commuting or cruising at 70+ mph Top speed on flat over 100mph and 60-80 mpg,I average 73mpg and get comprehensive insurance for £76 a year.Capable of high mileages if maintained regularly.”
“My bike lay protected but unused for 7 years, I restored forks, radiator,brakes tyres and service and it has not faltered for over 5000 miles of west coast and island hopping, Honda CB500 is a legend !!!!”
“An easy bike to ride and economical, good power for a 500 with a smooth gear box.
Simple to work on and service with Honda reliability.
Not so good we found for a pillion passenger, my wife is quite small and complained the dual seat was cramped, so, I altered the footrests forward and this made a huge difference in comfort. Disappointed it doesn't have a fuel gauge, meaning you have to check the tank.
This was Hondas budget bike, but will do all that is demanded from it, good road holding, brakes and acceleration, I would certainly recommend it for commuting or leisure.”
