For nearly a decade now the quiet but hugely popular CB500 has been something of a well-kept secret, winning the hearts of despatch riders, training schools, commuters and even weekend racers.
This bike was not merely a commuter, it was a great all-rounder, capable of dealing with anything thrown at it. Now this well loved model has had a revamp and been renamed the CBF500 ABS, in keeping with the other models in the naked range.
The new CBF500 ABS features the same engine as on the old CB500, but it has been tweaked to provide better fuel economy, emissions output and smoother power delivery low to mid range. The fuel tank capacity has also been increased from 18L to 19L for even further fuel efficiency. The CBF500 ABS has also had a makeover with, most noticeably, a stepped seat for extra pillion comfort and a riding position 5mm lower than the previous model. As well as the lower seat height the width of the bike has been reduced for a more sporty feel and making it ideal for the shorter rider. This reduced width of machine is achieved by the use of a Mono-Backbone frame similar to that used on the CB600 Hornet and CB900 Hornet.
New is an ABS-equipped option, for those wanting that little extra braking confidence and control in all riding conditions.The CBF500 ABS is available with a host of accessories including a flyscreen, 35L or 45L top box, tank bag and Averto alarm system, so you can make your CBF500 ABS whatever you want it to be.
