Engineered by CF Moto for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2010 CF Moto CF500 features a 493 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32.2 HP (23.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38.8 Nm (28.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. With a specific output of 65.3 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CF500 measures 337 kg (743 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 550 mm (21.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
