When the Honda CB500F first debuted, it was a welcomed addition to Honda’s lineup, as the Japanese brand was really filling out its 500cc/A2 offerings, but the bike itself was hardly something to get excited about, especially in the looks department.
That seems to have changed now, with the release of the 2016 Honda CB500F at the EIMCA show in Milan, as the street “standard” is looking a lot more aggressive and edgy with its new haircut.
Things are still a bit light in the features department though, with the big changes for 2016 being the addition of LED lights (front and back), and shortened muffler (for a better exhaust note), a larger fuel tank with a hinged cap, and forks with adjustable preload.
Other changes include an adjustable front brake lever, aluminum passenger foot pegs, an updated transmission, and a “wave”-style ignition key.
Unfortunately, the 2016 Honda CB500F is the big news coming out of Italy in regards to Honda, which means we have broken dreams of seeing the Honda CRF250 Rally debut there.
