Honda CB500F

I'm a big fan of Honda's CB500 range, and having spent time with the 500X and 500R, I'm looking forward to a few months with the naked F.

MCN Fleet: Saving the pennies with the CB500F

04 July 2016 by Oli Rushby

I’ll be honest. In my last update I was perhaps a little harsh to slate the CB500F’s ability as a long-distance commuter. After all, that’s not what it’s built for – Honda sell the CB500X (using the...

MCN Fleet: First 200 miles with Honda's CB500F
