Honda CB 500 Sport weight overview
The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Honda CB 500 Sport weight FAQ
What is the Honda CB 500 Sport dry weight?
The available dry weight is 390.2 lb (177 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Honda CB 500 Sport lighter or heavier than other Honda motorcycles?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 49th percentile in this model-level Honda comparison.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda CB 500 Sport?
Based on the supplied 4.76 US gal (18 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 29.6 lb (13.4 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda CB 500 Sport and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 570.2 lb (258.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Honda CB 500 Sport weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 419.8 lb (190.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Honda CB 500 Sport after filling the fuel tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 419.8 lb (190.4 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Honda CB 500 Sport have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 9.07 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
What is the Honda CB 500 Sport displacement per pound?
The available figures work out to 1.28 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Where will I notice the Honda CB 500 Sport weight most?
Expect the weight to matter more off the throttle than at speed: garage movement, uneven footing and parking angle are the practical situations to think about.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
