presentation of the CB 500 F SP 2016
after the CB 650, it's the CB 500 F 's turn to get the SP name back. This famous machine is the gateway to the world of Honda roadsters. It has gained in sex appeal since the previous generation, and this SP edition gives it a dose of "so-much".
to justify this name, the mid-range CB is equipped with a few accessories designed solely to give it more cachet. No special exhaust or improved suspension, but a trim package. Honda has added a seat cover, rear mudguard and sabot, all matching the dominant color. A windscreen and a set of skid plates complete the package.
the "SP" package costs 600 euros. It is available for each of the CB 500 F's colors: Tricolor, Red, Matte Black and Orange.
