Looking for a bike full of personality and good arguments for the A2 license? Do you know the Honda CL500? And now you can get it for practically the price of a 125 cc bike, how does that make you feel? Well, that’s how strong the Japanese firm is presenting itself this summer, with a discount promotion of nothing less than 1,290 euros on the official price of his legendary mount.
Honda CL500: An acronym full of history
One of the most compelling arguments for buying a CL500 is, without a doubt, its more than six decades of history. That, in addition to being synonymous with doing things well, demonstrates the weight that the CL initials have within Honda.
The 250cc Honda CL72, the first scrambler from the gold-winged brand, was introduced in 1962. The initials CL were Honda’s nomenclature for off-road motorcycles equivalent to the CB models (at that time the sporty road range).
But man does not live by history alone, in this case a motorcycle model like the CL500. That is why the Japanese brand has taken it upon itself to develop a motorcycle that meets the expectations of almost any enthusiast looking for a bike compatible with their A2 license.
Versatility, manufacturing quality, duality and ease of driving are some of the most essential characteristics that define the philosophy and good workmanship of the CL500.
Honda CL500: For him or for her
Another area where this CL500 has been thoroughly worked on is its ergonomics. Aspects such as having a seat located only 790 mmposition it as an excellent option for both male and female pilots.
In addition, it is the ideal height if we choose to put it to the test in mixed riding. Its scrambler essence is present at all times, and although it is a motorcycle intended for daily use, it is equally valid once we get into fun mode beyond the asphalt.
This is helped by the position of its handlebars, the shapes of its one-piece seat or stylised fuel tank, as well as the chosen location for the exhaust outlet. In addition, the brand offers us a series of accessories with which to “camperise” the silhouette of the CL500.
Regarding the latter, Honda has up to three different packs with which to equip our CL500 to taste, adapting it to our daily needs:
- ADVENTURE PACK: Handguards, raised front fender, rear shock absorber cover and rally footrests.
- TRAVEL PACK: Soft cases, heated grips, ACC charger, adjustable brake lever and tank protector.
- PACK STYLE: Wheel decals, headlight visor, headlight visor sticker, side covers, side cover sticker, high seat.
Honda CL500: Perfect balance
Without a doubt, one of the greatest virtues of this CL500 is its overall balance. Honda has opted for a series of components that make it a friendly motorcycle that is very easy to use in any situation. The parallel twin-cylinder engine stands out. 471 cc which stretches up to 8,500 rpm to offer us 46 HP of power. The maximum torque 43.4 Nm at 6,250 rpm It is the exact figure to have the necessary force at all times.
The mechanics are very well supported, thanks to the tubular steel frame that presides over its cycle part. A loop-shaped rear subframe and a tubular swingarm complete this section.
The suspensions, on the other hand, are provided by a 41 mm telescopic fork and two lateral shock absorbers. On the one hand, they offer the perfect setting on any surface, but they also provide the desired level of comfort on a motorcycle of this type.
19-inch and 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear respectively, mixed tyres or a braking system consisting of a disc on each axle, are also part of the standard equipment displayed by the CL500. All this for a weight of only 192 kilograms, including the 12-litre capacity offered by its fuel tankThe brand also approves a low fuel consumption 3.6 L/100 km, which catapults us to over 300 km with a single tank.
