Taking its inspiration from the Honda CLs of the '60s and '70s, the CL500 combines retro charm with the latest technology and equipment, creating a whole new type of street naked within the Honda range. It's designed to fit in with the motorcycle lifestyle, with plenty of ability to tackle daily traffic, a long weekend ride, or even a little off-roading.The CL500 uses Honda's popular and energetic 471cc parallel twin engine, compatible with the A2, delivering 35kW of power and 43.3Nm of torque. Unique ECU settings and a short final drive provide precise, responsive acceleration from a standstill and throughout the rev range, especially in the low and mid range.The horizontal line of its design extends from the characteristic round headlight, with four LED bulbs, through the cleanly rounded tank, to the high-positioned exhaust muffler with its classic perforated stainless steel heat shield. Details like the side tank guards, thickly padded seat with Honda logo, small circular LED turn signals, tall handlebars and rubber fork gaiters come together to create a look that has a different kind of cool charm than usual. from any other Honda model.The multi-tubular steel frame is both a style statement and the basis for easy handling. Long-travel suspension consists of a 41mm telescopic fork and an adjustable rear shock, while the wheels (19-inch front and 17-inch rear) mount offroad-looking tires.

EICMA will also mark the public debut of the 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin and its Adventure Sports variant, which carry a series of performance and practical updates for 24YM.Both models benefit from a 7% increase in maximum torque – delivered 750rpm earlier in the rpm range – thanks to changes in compression ratio, valve timing, intake ports and ECU settings. Revisions to the Dual Clutch Transmission gearbox bring earlier downshifts to match the new engine performance, improved cornering detection and a more natural feel on initial take off and between first and second gears.Practicality is improved with the addition of tubeless tyres for easier roadside repair, and a larger, 5 way adjustable screen. The CRF1100L Africa Twin itself will now be available for the first time with the option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA), which offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move via the 6.5in touchscreen display.The road-going capabilities of the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports are heightened by a new 19” front wheel and wider front tyre, plus more weather protection from a broader front fairing and the larger screen, plus greater comfort from the more thickly-padded seat.
