Good things come to those who wait, right?
This is exactly what I continued to repeat as rumors continued to revolve around Honda’s further actions (terminated) CB400SF, especially the four viscosons of the retro standard.

In fact, Honda has been waiting for so long that the Upstart brand Zxmoto has jumped a weapon and has revealed its preventive Dupe earlier this month.
In Chongqing, Chongqing, China’s Cimamotor Show, Red brand finally raised curtains His The bicycle and, as expected, the new CB500 Super Four is indeed very good.
At this point, the details are a little bit, but here’s what we know.
Back excitement
When moving from its predecessor Power Front, the new CB500SF boasts a 502 CC inline four -cylinder engine, which states about 80 horsepower. (CB400SF for the record was at the top of the 1950s.)
Other noticeable properties are a diamond -shaped steel frame, upside down. And an aluminum swings attached to Monoshock with Honda tested and real cute.

Brakes wisely, the bicycle gets a double radial Nissin four -piston hug in the front and two plugs on the back.
It seems to have a similar 70s universal Japanese motorcycle vibration, or perhaps even more tortured by the annoyed CB1000SF concept.

In the variant shown, the silver reservoir and tail receive light and navy blue accents, and the headlines tubes snake to the right before meeting in a glorious chrome exhaust tube.
Unlike similarly, the CB500R Sport bicycle, which was unveiled with it, signals the CB500SF about the intentions ready for its street, walking, er, naked.
Modern technology
Despite the classic, the CB500SF includes five driving modes, and the innovation Honda increasingly and more bikes: E-Sankaba.
During the second generation, this system facilitates the displacement process by substantially automating the clutch.

At a time when your foot touches the gear level, the system electronically pulls the clutch, shifts and releases.
While Curmudgeons can laugh, this technique really congratulates newer motorcyclists and facilitates traffic that usually requires a lot of clutch feathers.

What is cool here is that if you want to get more involved in the changeable process, you can be.
You can manually disregard the system with your input (in some sports cars, we remind you of paddle switches)-and even turn it off completely to control the overall management of the old school.
Accessibility and pricing
Details of price determination and availability should appear in the Eicma November or one of the Japanese Moto performances next year. It will certainly be released in Japan, perhaps in China and other parts of Asia. When it comes to America, we can only cross your fingers.
