Honda CB500 twins were a family of medium-sized standard motorcycles produced by Honda from 1993 until 2003. Because of their low cost, reliability, and good handling they were popular with commuters, and Motorcycle couriers.[1] They were also raced in the United Kingdom in the Honda CB500 Cup (changed its name in 2009 to the Thundersport 500 when Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki ER-5 were included).[1]
The half-faired Honda CB500S was introduced in 1998. Production of the first CB500 twin range ceased in 2003 as the engines could not meet Euro 2 emission regulations.[1]

Dismantled at Шаблон:Convert, the engine was in perfect condition. At Шаблон:Convert only the cam chain and the pistons were replaced, although, in the tester's opinion, it could have run with the original parts for longer with no problems.[2]
