The Honda CL500 is an uncomplicated scrambler with a cool look, light-footed handling and a surprisingly revvy engine. It offers riding pleasure for everyone, whether on the road or on light off-road terrain. The CL500 shines on winding roads in particular with its agile, intuitive riding experience. Its versatility and accessibility make it an ideal companion for everyday use, while Honda's extensive range of accessories allows the scrambler to be customised. Even on demanding long-distance routes, such as the Balkan Rally, the CL500 has proven to be a reliable and fun partner.
