La Honda CB500F a été introduite en 2013 dans le cadre de la nouvelle série CB500 de Honda, conçue pour offrir un streetfighter nu de poids moyen accessible aux conducteurs débutants et intermédiaires. Il partage sa plate-forme de moteurs à double parallèle avec les CB500X et CBR500R, ce qui en fait une option polyvalente et rentable dans la gamme Honda. La CB500F a fait l'objet de mises à jour importantes en 2016 et à nouveau en 2019, notamment la conformité à la norme Euro 4/5, un style révisé et une suspension améliorée, consolidant ainsi sa réputation en tant que l'une des meilleures motos compatibles avec le permis A2 en Europe.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Rock-Solid Reliability
The CB500F's parallel-twin engine is renowned for its durability, often exceeding 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. Honda's reputation for build quality makes it one of the most dependable bikes in its class.
Watch for Stator Issues
Earlier models (2013-2015) occasionally reported stator and regulator/rectifier failures, which can cause charging problems. Always check the electrical system and look for any history of this repair before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The CB500F holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand as a beginner-friendly yet long-term capable bike. Its A2 licence compatibility in Europe further boosts its resale appeal across a wide buyer pool.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The sensible used buy that won't let you down."
$4,000-$6,500 usedThe CB500F is Honda's gateway drug to proper motorcycling, and that's not an insult. It's genuinely competent — smooth parallel-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, ergonomics suit a wide range of riders, and reliability is almost offensively boring in the best possible way. Used examples rarely disappoint because there's simply not much to go wrong. These bikes attract new riders who often baby them, which means you'll frequently find low-mileage examples in decent shape. That said, don't expect fireworks. The suspension is budget-spec and feels it on anything rougher than smooth tarmac — it's vague and wallowy if you're pushing. The brakes are adequate but uninspiring, and the riding position gets tiresome on long hauls. Previous owners who dropped it in a car park are common, so inspect the bar ends, exhaust and engine casings carefully. ABS models are worth the small premium on the used market.
