Boon Siew Honda has launched the 2017 edition of the CB500XA dual-purpose bike, which now comes with a new muffler casing. Three new colours are also offered, namely Asteroid Black Metallic, Candy Rosy Red, and Pearl Horizon White.
The CB500XA is powered by a 471 cc, parallel-twin engine that makes 47 hp at 8,500 rpm and 44 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine has a bore and stroke of 67 mm x 66.8 mm, while its pistons are shaped based on those used in the CBR1000RR to reduce piston noise at high rpm.
Elsewhere, the CB500XA features a 17.5-litre tank, LED lights, telescopic fork and monoshock suspension, as well as ABS, to name a few.
The bike is available at Honda Impian showrooms with a recommended price of RM31,893.28 for the CB500X (standard) and RM35,391.28 for the CB500XA which comes standard with ABS. It comes with a two-year or 20,000 km manufacturing warranty.
