Cheers from Northern Ireland

Hey i have recently brought a Honda CB500 1999 with 16kmiles. Anyway i have many bike but nothing like this and i have noticed that if you let the bike tick over for 15-20mins the temperature will reach half and the fan with come on as normal.but when im riding it the temperature is low around 20% up from the bottom. Is this normal? Thanks in advance 🇬🇧

Good idea!

Great review, I have one and have been surprised at how good it is

So 125mph top speed won't get you into too much trouble? Wow. I wish we in Britain had your speed limits!

Congratulations for the video! I’m looking for one but the main problem I found it’s that most of them are full of kilometers. In your opinion as a owner with how many kilometers would you buy one of this Hondas?

I have had mine for twenty one years have covered 138000 miles and believe it or not have replaced hardly anything. Still has original original clutch, silencer, front forks etc. It is the s model by the way.

Well, sorry, just got carried away by the VFR...daydreaming...Thank you for the video, I am actually going to test ride a pc32 soon so I can decide either it or an NTV650

You cant go wrong with a RC36II VFR750F (94-97), had for 15 years and I'll get another for sure soon, just waiting for the right one...previous model its also very good (RC36)...no one needs more than that...and, for the standards and for the year it was made does well on the fuel consumption(at least compared to my 2001 injected blade...never did less than 12liters per 100km) 7lts/100km.

I called my 500 "Jeb" (it stood for Just Enough Bike). After a couple of years I found I was caning it everywhere, and kind of not really enjoying it. Seat to pegs is a bit cramped and the seat itself isn't that comfy. I'm 5' 11". Linear power, neutral handling, reliable - but also somewhat gutless, bland and uninspiring. Arguably the best "first big bike" - even now.

comment xd

I enjoyed this vid l am going to look at 1999 cb500 on Monday...if buy it l have long drive to get it home 250miles..really exited...the bike is in great shape..yayyy..!!!!

Is the cluch lefer heavy..?

I'm buying a cb500 anything I should be looking out for

"Bland at first sight"??? What the *** {{{ && ))) Haven't heard anything similar - she's a queen for fuck's sake!

why don't you stfu and show us the sound

183kg dry 57bhp. Honda designating PC26 , manufactured in Japan. Later bikes 97 onward were designated PC32 and no longer manufactured in Japan.

I've been making a CB 500 race bike build, it can be viewed on my playlist. It's a 2000 cb500 sport th-cam.com/video/KP_0XIG5uvk/w-d-xo.html

Porque siempre metes el dedo en el intermitente?

I can't wait to get mine running...

Very nice video, I am looking for the generation of CB500 in France. Hard to find

I also live in Norway, and am looking to buy my first bike. I've been looking at a couple bikes, the cb500 and the sv650 is two of em, my budget is only 30000 NOK, and these bikes seem to be much more expensive here in Norway. Also, since it's generally cold in norway, and also since it's my first bike, do you recommend buying the slightly newer ones with fuel injection? (2003 and up sv650 and 2004 and up cb500).

I replaced my handlebar for a wider one (750mm) which makes a huge (positive) difference in handling,...but I also had too replace the throttle cables, the clutch cable and the choke cable, for longer ones in order to make it work (The cables from the CB sevenfifty are longer and would fit even wider bars). I also had to replace the brake hose for a slightly longer one, which was OK because I wanted an upgrade to a steel hose anyways. What transformed the bike completely was an suspension upgrade! I now have Wilbers springs in the front and IKON shocks in the rear. In combination with the wider bars, it moves like a different bike! (same setup as schaaf's CB). It's so much more stable and agile in the corners and so much more fun to ride. I don't believe that i will need too upgrade to a "better" bike for a long time. the only thing it lacks in my opinion, is torque in the lower rpm's,...but hey it's just a 500cc. When I'm riding with my buddy, who has an MT07 and wayyyy more riding experience than me (It's my first season), he definitely has an advantage when accelerating out of the kurve or in a straight line (just normal touring, not racing!!!). I sometimes have to rev pretty high to keep up. The upgrade (bars, cables, hoses, suspension) was around 700 Euros (I installed everything myself) and It's worth every cent!

I am 193cm/6'.4'', which bike you suggest for my first (500cc or bellow) used bike?

Great informative video, I have owned and ridden a cb500s for 10 years with no problems at all, soon after I bought it I changed the exhaust system for a stainless steel one, changed the brake lines for stainless and replaced the horn for a louder car unit . I will probably keep this machine for ever .

nice bike. i m so glad that i bought one.

ty it worked

Great video I bought a cb500s 2002 two months ago and I'm loving it. It's got just enough power to be fun while being a low and light enough bike for my first "big bike" can I ask what exhaust you used because I bought a used slip on can to give it a better sound but the new exhaust is obnoxious and far to loud. I like loud bikes but not stupidity loud. Thanks again and keep up the videos

Hey Li Tek , I bought tis bike 29.12.20....I am very hapy with. Many thanks for your video!

Thanks for posting video, I’m interested in buying a bike like this.

Hey Li Tek, I just bought a CB500 the other day and Im really unsatisfied with the low handlebars. Can you recommend a handlebar?,...and do I need to change something else in order to make it work? Also the plastics (buttons, chocke) and grips on my bike (which is otherwise beautiful) look old and faded out and I was thinking of replacing them, but have a difficult time finding new replacement parts. Yours look beautiful, even though your bike has higher milage. I also noticed that you changed your levers to adjustable ones. Are they good? (which ones did you use?) I have rather small hands and adjustable levers would be a great upgrade for me, especially as a beginner. Thanks allot in advance!!!!

Hi all! I made timestamps in the description for better navigation in the video. Would have written this there but the amount of charaters are limited by TH-cam. Hope you guys like it!

Great video. Im thinking about buying one. I want to bike that will be good for everyday use and for some long touring (like 300-500km) I have A2 licence and i just wonder if cb 500 will be a good touring bike for 178cm man.

Can you get your hands on a CBF 500? And if so, you could a comparison of this vs her father, the cb500 :)

Nice video. Good camera angle. Great little bikes the cb500

This hack is so simple and works great!

it didnt worked out for me
