The Honda CB500F is a motorcycle from Honda. It is currently on sale. With a 471 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Power comes from a 471 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 47.5 PS at 8,600 rpm and 43 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 251 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a steel diamond frame. At the front, the suspension is conventional telescopic front forks. At the rear, it is prolink mono with 5-stage preload adjuster, steel square pipe swingarm. Braking is by a 320 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking.
The seat is 785 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 189 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 145 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,080 mm long, with 1,410 mm between the axles. It carries 17.1 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console and an LED headlamp. Safety equipment includes honda Intelligent Security System (HISS).
For the Honda CB500F, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,199 doorstep service.
Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹2,199
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 320 mm and Disc, 240 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
