1998 Honda CB500 review from Republic of Ireland
"A must bike for anyone. Experienced or not"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong at all.
General comments?
As an inexperienced rider, I found this bike a dream to get used too. The handling is great. Very responsive. A great bike to start out on.
Only drawback is the vibration through the mirrors - it's hard to tell what's happening behind you.
