1998 Honda CB500 review from Brazil
"Height, weight and speed in exact rates!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing wrong with this motorcycle: it is reliable, comfortable, and presents a low fuel consumption.
Has never broken down.
I've changed the chain for the first time at 52.000 km.
General comments?
It's a superb bike. Low maintenance, comfortable, low weight and a unique style, a mix of naked with touring motorcycle.
I've traveled more than 53.000 km on it, without any problem. Good top speed when on the road and a good acceleration when in the streets of a city.
Its fuel consumption is low, which gives autonomy for more than 300 km.
And after all, it's a Honda!
