Overview

• Honda unveiled the retro‑styled CB500 Super Four and the fully faired CBR500R Four at the 2025 China International Motorcycle Exhibition.
• Both models use a newly developed 502cc inline‑four engine, with official power figures yet to be announced.
• The powertrain pairs with Honda’s E‑Clutch and electronics including ride‑by‑wire, HSTC, five riding modes, and a 5‑inch TFT with RoadSync.
• Honda says the CBR500R Four is aimed primarily at the Chinese market, and it has not confirmed broader availability for the CB500 Super Four.
• The CB500 Super Four draws on the CB750/CB400SF lineage as Honda reintroduces a now‑rare inline‑four format in a segment long dominated by twins.
