Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2025 Honda Scl500 pairs a 471 cc (28.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 66.8 mm (2.6 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.7:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Scl500 measures 191.9 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 1,483 mm (58.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12.11-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 242 km (150 miles) between fill-ups.
