Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its manageable power delivery and forgiving, predictable handling.
Purpose	It's built primarily as an accessible, low-maintenance daily commuter and around-town naked bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider Fit	A low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	The character is friendly and unintimidating, with smooth twin-cylinder power and light, nimble steering that rewards relaxed, everyday riding.
Not Ideal For	It's not the right choice for riders seeking high-speed thrills, serious off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda CB500F ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
