Honda CB500 Super Four, CB500R Four details
Unveiled specifically for the Chinese market, the new CB500 Super Four takes inspiration from the old-school CB750 Four, which was the first-ever mass-produced superbike of Honda internationally. The CB500 Super Four features a retro-inspired design with an upright riding posture, round headlight, and a chrome-finished exhaust.
Meanwhile, the CB500R Four is a faired version of the same bike, but it features a modern design that takes inspiration by the latest ‘RR’ series of the brand. It gets a sharp front design with the dual-LED headlights, a committed riding position, and a raised tail section. It is expected to offer a more connected and thrilling riding experience.
Both of these motorcycles are based on an all-new 502cc, inline-four, liquid-cooled engine. Although Honda has yet to share the details regarding the specifications, we assume that the peak power will be in the vicinity of 45 bhp.
Meanwhile, both of these bikes are loaded with a 5-inch TFT console, 5 riding modes, traction control, Honda RoadSync, dual-channel ABS, and other modern features. As of now, these models are limited to China only. However, the possibility of Honda debuting these models in other markets like Indonesia, can not be denied.
