The Honda CL500 (also called the Honda SCL500 in North America)[2] is a standard motorcycle produced by Honda since 2023.

The motorcycle is designed with a flat seat and upswept exhaust as part of the "Scrambler-style" marketing and appearance,[3] acting as a spiritual successor to Honda's previous CL-series bikes - such as the CL450.[4] It uses the same 471 cc (28.7 cu in) 180° crank straight-twin engine as Honda's other 21st century "500-twins", such as the CB500F. The CL500's tubular steel frame's main structure is shared with the CMX500 Rebel.[1]
