Has anyone on the forum owned a CB500T (twin cylinder)?
« on: January 31, 2012, 05:34:57 AM »
Hello all - My stepdad has been bitten by the old bike bug...He's been thinking about buying a Honda twin, a CB500T.  Anyone here have any experience with them?  He's also considering a CB450 or a CB350 (disc brake version).

Go with the 450.  The 500 was a last-gasp effort to prolong the motor, but really it just made less power and vibrated more - so the conventional wisdom goes.

OTOH, he won't go wrong with a 350 either - lots of availability and good support.

Good luck to him!
