Honda CB500F

Having a ground clearance of 14 mm and a wheelbase of 1409 mm, the CB 500 F model from Honda is an excellent cruising bike for expressways and highways. It has an awesome degree of stability, especially during cornering or braking from high speeds, which is why the on-road safety is not compromised. Coming to the chassis, the frame is painted with a matte black color. But riders will have two options in terms of the trim and accent shades.
