Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for beginners and returning riders; forgiving, predictable power makes it a great first big bike, yet still rewarding for experienced commuters.
Purpose	A do-it-all middleweight naked built for everyday commuting, city runs and relaxed weekend rides, with enough poke for occasional highway stints.
Rider Fit	Low 775mm seat, upright neutral bars and light 172kg dry weight make it easy to manage and comfortable for most riders in traffic.
Character	Honda's dependable, unintimidating parallel-twin all-rounder - smooth, reliable and friendly rather than exciting, a byword for practical value.
Not Ideal For	Not for speed-hungry riders chasing sportbike thrills, serious track days, long two-up touring, or any off-road use.

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2000 Honda CB 500, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
