The seller offers for sale this 1976 Honda CB500 Four, powered by a 498 cc inline-four engine. This example is presented in good condition and shows 2,868 km on the odometer, a reading that was reset to zero when the engine was overhauled, according to the seller. The seller indicates the motorcycle has undergone restoration work, during which items including the rim rings, spokes, seat and paintwork were renewed, along with a stainless steel exhaust bracket and an original Honda exhaust system. Since the restoration the bike has been used only on historic registration plates, and the seller notes some very small dents in the front mudguard. The machine is presented as a well-cared-for classic four that captures the appeal of Honda’s landmark multi-cylinder era.
The Honda CB500 Four arrived in the early 1970s as part of the family of across-the-frame four-cylinder machines that transformed the motorcycle world and established Honda as the dominant force in modern engineering. Positioned below the celebrated CB750, the CB500 Four offered the same smooth, turbine-like inline-four character and single overhead-camshaft design in a lighter, more manageable package, earning a reputation for refinement and reliability that was remarkable for its time. Its balanced proportions, elegant four-into-four exhaust and jewel-like engine have made the CB500 Four a genuinely coveted classic, prized by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its place in the history of the Japanese superbike and the enduring charm of Honda’s original four-cylinder line.
