The Honda CB500 Super Four (SF), a nakedbike blending modern design with retro elements, has arrived in Vietnam. Imported by a private enterprise in TP HCM, the 2026 model is available for 285 million dong, excluding registration fees. This bike, developed by the Wuyang - Honda joint venture mainly for the Chinese market, was first introduced in late 2025 and launched in early 2026.

Inheriting the legacy of the legendary CB1000 series, the CB500 SF's overall design exudes a muscular, raw character. It avoids complex embellishments, instead focusing on simplicity and the riding experience. In terms of dimensions, the Honda model measures 2,103 x 775 x 1,083 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 1,412 mm. It weighs approximately 188 kg.

The bike is available in three color options in Vietnam: white with blue stripes, red with white stripes, and black with blue stripes. The seat height is 795 mm, tiered for two people.

The rear section of the bike resembles some past generations of the CB1000, with a high sweep and classic dual taillights.

Both wheels on the CB500 SF are 17 inches. The rear wheel comes with a single disc brake, ABS, and an upward-swept chrome-plated exhaust pipe.

The CB500 SF features round LED headlights and dual horns, a nod to the nostalgic aesthetic of classic CB models. Its high and wide handlebars contribute to a comfortable riding posture, and the bike comes equipped with a 5-inch TFT screen.

Honda equips the front wheel with dual disc brakes and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The bike also features KYB upside-down forks and a large air filter, enhancing its performance and safety. Like other CB models, the 500 cc bike features a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with a capacity of 14,7 liters. The "CB500 Super Four" lettering adorns the side of the bike.

The Honda CB500 SF is powered by a DOHC, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, producing 71 horsepower and 47 Nm of torque. It integrates several advanced technologies, including: traction control, electronic throttle, E-Clutch electronic clutch, and three riding modes: standard, urban, and sport.

The electronic clutch on the CB500 SF is a notable feature, allowing the bike to start, stop, or shift gears without using the clutch lever. This innovation simplifies riding for new motorcycle enthusiasts and enables experienced riders to achieve smoother, faster shifts.

The 285 million dong price tag of the Honda CB500 SF is significantly higher than the officially sold CB500 Hornet, which is priced at 185 million dong. However, the two bikes target different styles: the CB500 SF is retro-inspired with a 4-cylinder engine, while the CB500 Hornet is sporty with a 2-cylinder engine. In the nearly 300 million dong price range, users also have another nakedbike option: the Yamaha MT-09, priced at 299 million dong, featuring an 890 cc, 3-cylinder engine.
