2025 Honda Cl500 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2025 Honda Cl500 motorcycle, Honda relies on a 471 cc engine powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 43.4 Nm at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a six speed manual transmission gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67 x 66.8 with a 10.7:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Cl500 measures 192 kg (423 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,485 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 27.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 43 km (27 miles) between fill-ups.
