This technical reference row for the GB 500 combines the available catalogue data: 498 cc, 32 kW, 44 hp, 170 kg. It describes the model reference, but does not necessarily distinguish every production or equipment change. Always verify model year, trim and technical values against the individual motorcycle.
The Honda GB 500 Clubman is a classic single-cylinder roadster built in the late 1980s in the style of British clubman racers. Its air-cooled 498 cc RFVC engine is related to Honda XR500 engineering but uses road-focused tuning, electric starting and clean café-racer styling with wire wheels, clip-ons and a dual seat.
The GB500 is light, narrow and rewarding on back roads; its appeal lies in torque and rhythm rather than outright power. Supply in Europe and the United States is limited, making the original exhaust, side panels, tank and instruments important to value. Carefully check maintenance of valves, camshaft and oil supply. A good example remains usable for relaxed touring, although riding position, brakes and passenger comfort are unmistakably rooted in the 1980s.
