Honda's Indian arm HMSI has unveiled the CB500, a retro roadster powered by a new 501cc air-cooled single derived from the 348cc GB350. Output rises to 20.7kW (about 28hp) and 43.3Nm of torque, aided by a newly added oil cooler, plus an assist-and-slipper clutch and traction control.
Hearing that the GB350's air-cooled single finally got bored out to 501cc genuinely spikes my heart rate. They added an oil cooler and pushed it to 20.7kW and 43.3Nm, numbers like that are what I live for. Keeping the semi-double-cradle frame through that change is exactly the kind of continuity I love, and I'm impatient for word on a Japan launch.

With 43.3Nm it should handle luggage without breaking a sweat
An air-cooled single with this much more power, I genuinely want one
What's actually good about an assist & slipper clutch?
It stops the rear wheel hopping on downshifts, once you're used to it you can't go back
Adding traction control just means a price hike in disguise
Feels like it's aimed at poaching Rebel 500 and RE Meteor 350 buyers
348→501cc, 28PS, 43.3Nm. Plus an oil cooler now, basically a different bike
