Honda CB500F ABS weight FAQ
What does the Honda CB500F ABS weigh ready to ride?

Is the Honda CB500F ABS heavy compared with other Honda naked bikes?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 46th percentile among 49 compatible Honda naked bikes.
Does the Honda CB500F ABS weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Honda CB500F ABS fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.15 US gal (15.7 L) to 4.5 US gal (17.03 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 25.8 lb (11.7 kg) to 28 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda CB500F ABS with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 605.5 lb (274.6 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
