Programmed Fuel Injection

PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered in all conditions for the crispest throttle response and the most power.

Exhaust

We equipped it with a muffler featuring twin outlets. Although a small detail, it enhances the appearance and produces a sound that’s sure to make you smile every time you twist the throttle.

Lightweight swingarm

Used in the entire Honda 500 lineup, the swingarm is designed to be both lightweight and strong, contributing to its exceptional handling.

Steel-tube frame

This bike's diamond-shaped steel mainframe has four mounts connecting to the engine, providing a sturdy base for excellent ride quality, handling, and ample ground clearance.

Multi-spoke cast wheels

The lightweight, multi-spoke cast aluminum wheels are designed to enhance handling and are compatible with various adventure touring tires. Additionally, they are easy to clean and simply look good.

Smooth transmission

Our engineers designed the internal components of the six-speed transmission to help you change gears with reduced effort every time. While you’ll likely never see these parts, their impact on your riding experience is unmistakable.

Passenger handholds

Sturdy handholds provide security for your passengers and can also serve as tie-down points for cargo items.
