Produced from 1993 to 2003, the twin-cylinder Honda CB500 was a versatile and reliable middleweight motorcycle, highly favoured by commuters, couriers and new riders alike. At its heart was a 499cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with DOHC configuration and four valves per cylinder. This engine delivered around 57bhp at 9,500rpm and 36ft lbs of torque at 8,000rpm, allowing the CB500 to reach a top speed of approximately 111 mph and achieve a standing quarter-mile time of about 13.1 seconds. It was chiefly known for its durability, with Honda engineers claiming that the engine should capably run for 190,000 miles without disassembly. French magazine Moto Revue undertook its own tests and, after dismantling the engine at 31,000 miles, concluded it was in ‘perfect’ condition. At 62,000 miles, they changed the cam chain and pistons, but the tester reckoned it could have lasted much longer without attention.
This 2001 CB500 has had just three owners from new and shows a remarkably low mileage, with just 15,313 miles covered by its MOT in June, 2024. It hence appears as a very well-preserved example, with extensive paperwork history including a long run of MOT certificates and service documentation. We have been advised that the bike is running well.
