February 2022 Classics Auction
1971 Honda CB500 Four KO
Registration -
Chassis No. - CB500 1001334
M.O.T. -
Odometer - 7,800
Previously part of an American museum collection, this decidedly original CB500 KO has travelled a mere 7,800 miles in 51 years. It is considered by the vendor to have a ‘good’ four-cylinder engine, five-speed gearbox, frame and paintwork, and he confirms that a new exhaust system and nearside fork gaiter plus some light recommissioning are all that is required to bring this Honda back to the road and provide pleasure to a new keeper.
The CB500 Four reigned from 1971 to 1978. Powered by a transverse air-cooled, in-line, four-cylinder unit of 498cc, it had an output of 50bhp. In reviewing the 1972 model ranges, Motorcycle Mechanics described the CB500 as ‘one of the show stealers’ and said its performance was ‘equivalent to that of a 650cc twin’.
