Honda has launched the CB500 in India, with prices starting at ₹2.75 lakh. The retro-styled motorcycle gets an all-new 501cc air- and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine and will be offered in three variants with alloy and spoke-wheel configurations.

The CB500’s 501cc single-cylinder engine produces 28 hp and 43.3 Nm of torque. It is Honda’s largest air-cooled single-cylinder motorcycle in the Indian market.
