HONDACB500F 2013 - 2014

　　The Honda 500 twins was a series of straight-twin motorcycles manufactured by honda since 2013 that included the CB500F standard or naked machine, the CB500X adventure tourer bike, and the CBR500R sports bike.

　　The 500 twins were similar to the CB500 parallel twins discontinued in 2003 but all-new from the ground up. The bikes were manufactured in Thailand, where Honda made only smaller displacement motorcycles.

　　The CB500F offered a classic riding position, which was a key element in its versatility that provided a comfortable sports riding position with a low seat height that made it easier for the rider to reach the ground when stopped.

　　In addition, the bike came right from the factory equipped with standard features, such as an under-belly exhaust system with a chromed muffler, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a nose fairing with a small windscreen, lightweight cast aluminum wheels, a steel frame, and an engine mudguard.

　　As for power, the 2014 Honda CB500F took its muscles from a 471cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 47 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link single shock absorber with nine-position spring preload adjustability on the rear.
