The Soul of the ’80s and ’90s Reawakened

The 500F pays tribute to the golden era of Japanese naked bikes, clean lines, honest engineering and an inline-four character that’s impossible to mistake for anything else. Every detail has been reconsidered for today’s rider: a round LED headlight, a clean tail section, and an engine tuned to deliver that same high-revving, intoxicating note enthusiasts have chased for decades. Comfort was given equal weight to nostalgia. A low, confidence-inspiring seat height and a relaxed, natural riding position make the 500F as approachable for a new rider as it is familiar to anyone who grew up around bikes like it.

FEEL A PULSED BEAT

THE INLINE-FOUR, REBORN

The 500F’s inline-four is tuned for character and performance. Smooth, dense power delivery through the rev range is paired with a specially tuned exhaust note, the same high-revving, unmistakable voice that made inline-four naked bikes so loved in the first place, now reborn for a new generation of riders.

Timeless Design, Modern Comfort

The 500F’s engine, chassis and styling were never developed in isolation. Power delivery, handling and design all work as one, so the character you feel in the exhaust note is matched by the confidence you feel through the bars, and the styling that catches your eye holds up the moment you throw a leg over it.

Performance Features

Every detail of the 500F was chosen with the rider in mind, not just the spec sheet. From an engine built to run true year after year, to modern electronics that quietly look after you, these are the features that let you enjoy the ride without a second thought.

Built to Last

A forged piston, copper-based bearing bush and fracture-split connecting rod give the 500F’s inline-four the strength to handle spirited riding today and years of ownership tomorrow. This is an engine built for the long haul, not just the showroom.

Goes and Stops

Dual floating front discs with a radial master cylinder bring serious stopping power within easy reach, so slowing down feels as composed and predictable as everything else about the ride.

Everything You Need

Fuel injection delivers clean, consistent starts. Switchable ABS and traction control, selectable riding modes, tyre pressure monitoring and full LED lighting all work together in the background, so the only thing you need to focus on is the ride.

Comfort, Considered

Built on the same platform as the sport-focused 500RR, the 500F has a more relaxed and natural riding position, retaining the agility riders want without the race-bred seating position that usually comes with it.

Every Detail, True to Its Origin

Round chrome mirrors, an authentic UJM-style fuel tank, a classic round headlight and a polished, chrome-finished exhaust bring the era’s design language back in full, reinterpreted with genuine craftsmanship for a new generation of riders. ABS/Traction Control, Switchable ABS and traction control work quietly in the background, adding a genuine layer of confidence to every ride.
