HARMONIOUS SHAPE AND PROPORTION
it amazes for its excellent handling and refined technical solutions.
The 500 Four was born in 1971, two years after the lucky 750 model.
The project is completely new: 4-stroke engine with 4-cylinder, 5-speed gear and 275 mm front disc brake.
You can start it both electrically or by the kick start.
Gear change pedal is on the left side and the first gear is down, just like the modern bikes.
The clutch is mild and no effort is required.
The CB 500 engine always remains round and smooth in response, even at low revs.
Aesthetically it is very accurate in detail, from the iconic "candy starlight gold" color with embossed logos to the brilliant chrome plating.
The 4 small trombone exhaust pipes are beautiful and sound great!
We talk about a first class GT on the highest quality level in comparison to the competitors.
The 500 is extremely comfortable and easy to ride, mild and reliable, suitable even for less experienced riders. The low seat position makes things really easy.
Braking meets the expectations and works better than the standard ones of that period.
This bike is light but steady. Except the too soft suspensions, it will never suddenly change in the path while riding.
The 500 Four is ideal for those want to have a relaxing tour. That's for sure!
The perfect choice for a brilliant and nimble riding, but smooth and comfortable at the same time! Suitable for everyone.
Enjoy your ride!
