Ready for the riding buzz? You need our new CB500 Hornet. Aggressive, streetfighter style has big Hornet DNA coursing through it. Loaded with a responsive A2-friendly twin-cylinder engine and agile, high-quality chassis it’s built to whip through the city or twisting backroads. And premium tech – including full colour 5-inch TFT display, Honda RoadSync with on-screen turn-by-turn navigation – and HSTC rear grip management keeps you entertained, connected and safe. Join the hive.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
HSTC smoothly manages rear wheel traction, wet or dry, so riding the street – or attacking a set of turns – is always a thrill.
Class-leading suspension and brakes
Enjoy sports bike-spec quality. Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD front forks and dual front discs boost feel, all-round handling and braking.
Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity
Want to use your phone’s nav or listen to music? No Problem. By downloading the Honda RoadSync app, you can connect it to the CB500 Hornet.
Razor sharp styling
Sculpted to slice through the air and generate downforce for stability, the nose fairing wraps aggressively around the headlight.
Full colour 5-inch TFT screen
Backlit for readability with optical bonding to reduce glare, the 5-inch screen is intuitive to use and features the smartphone connectivity of Honda Roadsync.
A2-compliant twin-cylinder engine
471cc of riotous fun for both new and existing riders, with assist slipper clutch as standard to enhance durability and overall performance.
Next level riding, now with E-Clutch
Unique to Honda, E-Clutch takes riding to the next level. Choose manual clutch control of the six-speed gearbox, or activate E-Clutch via the TFT screen and ignore the lever. That’s it. From pulling away to shifting and stopping, just use the gear lever – E-Clutch handles the rest, smoothly and instantly, like a pro. You can’t stall. Traffic’s easier. And if you want to use the clutch? Go right ahead.
MORE ABOUT OUR TECHNOLOGY
Command the ride Handle the city. With a naturally upright riding position that puts you in charge. Lightweight 5-spoke wheels, sporty aluminum swingarm and footpegs shave mass for super-fast, effortless steering. Dual 296mm discs and Nissin two-piston radial-mount calipers offer strong, progressive braking. Dialled-in Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork-Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks mean you can push hard into corners with all the feedback for grip you need. And then some.
Get noticed A cut, low-set stance locks in the imposing street-fighting attitude of a bike built to rip it up. Wide handlebars give you the leverage and control to slip through gaps, scorch corners, and keep full awareness of what’s around you. And you’ll be seen too: the piercing headlight ensures presence by day, while its broad beam cuts through the dark for confident cornering at night.
Make it your own Configure your bike with a choice of accessory packs.
Travel Pack
Maybe there’s a trip planned in the future. The Tank Bag and Rear Seat Bag provide flexible and convenient carrying capacity. They’re also easy to attach, and just as easy to remove, great for a little overnight touring.
Style Pack
We agree. The CB500 Hornet looks great. But if you want to drive it up a little further add a Meter Visor for the instrument display, protective Tank Pad, neat Seat Cowl for the single-seat look and a 17-inch Wheel Stripe kit for a flash of extra colour.
Comfort Pack
Riding every day, all year? You’ll need Heated Grips for those colder days, and an ACC socket to keep a smartphone charged while riding – also useful for staying connected with Honda RoadSync – while a Main Stand makes for easy chain maintenance.
