Overview

The 2026 Honda SCL500 is a sportbike in the SCL500 family, with production years spanning 2025–2026. Its liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated 471 cm³ four-stroke parallel twin produces 46 hp (34 kW) and 43.3 Nm at 6,000 rpm; wet weight is 191 kg.

The 790 mm seat height helps riders judge foot reach, while the 191 kg wet weight will take more effort to manage at walking pace. Front and rear wheel travel measure 150 mm and 145 mm, respectively, giving the suspension room to absorb uneven surfaces; ABS is fitted, and the chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • ABS fitted

    ABS can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking on slippery surfaces.

  • Useful suspension travel

    The 150 mm front and 145 mm rear wheel travel give the suspension room to work over rough pavement.

Things to consider

  • Weight at low speed

    At 191 kg wet, the SCL500 takes more effort to maneuver when moving slowly or pushing it by hand.

  • Chain upkeep

    The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
