Honda CB500F riding a simply stunning road [RAW Onboard]

[@snowcrash404]

5 min in and no car at all..what a paradise

[@Schaaf]

it absolutely is!

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Anyone who owns a Honda 500 needs to try it with the little intake snorkel attached to the airbox removed. It only takes a few minutes to do and is reversible, but it gives a lot more deep intake induction sound under wide open throttle (no change under light load/idle). Best free mod you can do to these bikes. I might do a video on it sometime.

[@JohnSpartan-117]

That’s what I did with my 2021 CB500F! At the same time I replaced the stock air filter with a K&N high flow filter

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the advice!

[@oscarbjorkman7052]

Please do!

[@praguebiker]

@@JohnSpartan-117which actually doesnt make sense at all because the engine will go lean unless u remap

[@JohnSpartan-117]

@@praguebiker It doesn’t really make a huge difference that the stock ECU can’t compensate for

[@GTMarmot]

I had one, briefly. It's superbly balanced and corners like a knife. Believe in it.

@LorenzoBelliardo Hi. In my opinion it's a really good choice. It's a very well-designed bike, with the centre of gravity in exactly the right place to give you a very enjoyable riding experience. Its handling is really precise and reassuring. The design is very refined, with its stressed member frame and very good shocks. Very maneuvrable and easy to flick around in low-speed traffic, while at the same time really good fun when out there on winding roads. Even though it's a twin, its very smooth through its rev range. The engines on these bikes are very reliable and good for high mileage.

[@JelloThatsMellow]

A lot of members only videos lately. I feel lucky! As usual its good to see you pushing low displacement bikes to their limits.

[@Schaaf]

That happens when I'm sick on a weekend, plenty of time :D thanks a lot!

[@piogasio]

To quote a modern poet and thinker, Tuco Salamanca: "Tight, tight, tight! Yeah! Oh, blue, yellow, pink. Whatever, man. Just keep bringing me that" xD As always a pleasure and I could watch you drive every sigle road on the canary islands. Thank you for letting us ride with you!

[@herolais781]

Nice to see Salamanca getting the fame he deserves in arts.

[@rhamjasrami3900]

LOL never thought I'd see my man Tuco quoted on a bike video. Love that scene...

[@a-train386]

Reminds me of the some of the roads in Portugal. I toured the country on a CB500X last spring. Incredibly little engines those Honda twins. Nice video!

[@Schaaf]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@them0leisback]

Ah this sound brings back memories! I did my A2 license on a CB500. Only at the last 2 lessons I discovered there is plenty of rev-range above 6k... Having ridden only a 640 single before, so I really liked this surprising torque above

[@Schaaf]

Thanks!

Hello from Gran Canaria!!! I'm so glad you enjoy my island for this fantastic experiences. I'm really want to get a license and a bike, but I'm a bit sad about my family's reaction towards it. There's so worried, but i just enjoy this too much and wanna experience it myself

[@Schaaf]

Thank you!! I hope you manage to change their minds!!

What kind of exhaust you're using here? Sounds incredible!

Yo Schaaf, where do you place your external sound recorder?

[@mrvwbug4423]

The modern version of the OG Schaaf bike. BTW what ever happened to the OG CB500?

[@Vicenev]

I think he’s said it’s in storage and needs some work, and he doesn’t have the time/money to get it going again. Hopefully one day though! I go back and watch those old cb500 videos whenever I want to see some riding at the limit.

[@mrvwbug4423]

@@Vicenev If I recall didn't he also buy a used VFR 800 a few years back?

[@Schaaf]

thanks Vicenev, that's indeed the case. She's parked safely in a garage but indeed my current priorities in life and "video making" don't give me enough time and money to get her going again. So, like every year I say "maybe next year" ;) Same for the VFR

[@corbinroberts949]

Amazing vid as always! You ever get your hands on a Honda Fury? Thinking about one for a 2nd bike to my 22 MT-10

[@Schaaf]

Unfortunately not since they don't sell these in Europe

[@corbinroberts949]

@Schaaf ah that's too bad! Wish all bikes were sold to all markets

[@santhosh6239]

Can i know where is this place. Its so beautiful!!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Lorenzo

[@Chris5685]

I like the little Hondas, I still hope you'll do some more videos with yours :D

[@Schaaf]

Maybe one day! So far it's not working out time-wise since Little Honda would need a full resurrection surgery and my priorities don't allow for that.

[@tvr419]

​@@Schaafhow is the little Honda? I miss it sometimes

[@Rolilasx]

That's the bike I learned to ride on! Haha, the throttle response was quite on/off on the one I was riding, but otherwise a good bike. Also, kinda of overpriced, so I went for an sv650 for the money

[@Schaaf]

SV650 is the better choice for sure!

[@G-Man01]

The 'pendulum' riding style.

[@idk-69247]

what bike does the other rider have , a 300r or some like that ? and loved the video

Have you done the intake mod yet? Dna makes a velocity stack that replaces the snorkel

cómo siempre excelente video :D. Puedo preguntar si recomendas la CB 500 F o la BMW F 800 R? He probado ambas y no me defino :P

[@Schaaf]

The one you feel more confident with ;)

[@Mikk0Ray]

How do you like this model vs the 300R? Im torn between the two. I love the look of the 300R. Im note quite ready for the 650 version. But i really like what the 500F has to offer. Any advice from someone who has ridden both?

[@bryanelwell3470]

I’m in the US and where I’m at you need to test through a school to get a permit to ride on the streets first. The school had the CB300R and it was pretty jumpy in first but still a fun little bike. I got my permit and bought a CB500F last week and I love it. I probably have better clutch control now that I have more experience, but I feel like it’s easier for me to get going without stalling out on the 500. You can have your hand off the throttle entirely and the bike will roll slowly if you let off the clutch, so I feel like as a beginner it’s easier for me to focus on my clutch hand rather than having to think about clutch and throttle

[@davhuf3496]

Cool!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@chrishall734]

Is that the pegs catching I can hear?

[@TerraMagnus]

Some grinding may be required.

[@Schaaf]

indeed!

[@TerraMagnus]

If you find his other CB500F video at the very end he shows some ridiculously long feelers under the pegs

Is there an exhaust ? Nice video😁

yes, the stock one

​@@Schaaf😮😮😮

[@ytr8989]

Nice engine sound. Second to the Royal Enfield, but I heard more than a few grinding gear changes. Does that mean those Royal Enfield are smoother shifters?

Honda transmissions are far superior

Hey Schaaf It's been a year since I started out on that same bike and I notice you are a god at clutchless shifting! What is the secret?? I find that in this particular bike going from second to third gear is really jerky, which puts me off from doing it since I don't want to hurt the motorcycle.
