1973 Honda CB500 Four Cylinder

Check out this beautiful Honda CB500 Four, this is a very clean bike and very original, it has been parked in a private collection for the last few years in Southern California, Owner is ready to now move it one to a new owner.  It has been sitting for a few years but should not take much to get it running, more than likely only needs a new battery and some gas.  Look at the original, even has the original tool bag. Located in Southern California but worldwide shipping is available

Honda CB500 Four – History

The Honda CB500 Four was introduced in 1971 and produced through 1974. It was part of Honda's iconic CB series, following in the footsteps of the revolutionary CB750 Four, but with a smaller 498cc engine.

The CB500 Four was praised for:

• Its refined four-cylinder engine (uncommon in midsize bikes at the time)

• Excellent balance between performance and handling

• Smooth ride, thanks to its inline-four engine and 5-speed gearbox

• Being an affordable and more manageable alternative to the CB750

Though only produced for a few years, it became a classic and led to the development of the CB550, which succeeded it in 1974–1975.
