The Honda CL500 (also called the Honda SCL500 in North America) is a standard motorcycle produced by Honda since 2023.
The motorcycle is designed with a flat seat and upswept exhaust as part of the “Scrambler-style” marketing and appearance, acting as a spiritual successor to Honda’s previous CL-series bikes – such as the CL450. It uses the same 471 cc (28.7 cu in) 180° crank straight-twin engine as Honda’s other 21st century “500-twins”, such as the CB500F. The CL500’s tubular steel frame’s main structure is shared with the CMX500 Rebel.
The 2025 model included ergonomic adjustments to the footpegs and seat, as well as updated compliance with Euro V+ emissions standards.
