Sometimes small and affordable is the popular choice, as evidenced by the popularity of Zack Court's MC Commute on the wee Honda CB500F. This video ranked as our 8th most-watched video of 2016, suggesting that Honda's move toward economical bikes (an effort Big Red kicked off in 2011 with the CBR250R was a sensible one that's catching on with the riding masses.
Out of all of Honda's small-bore singles and twins the CB500F is our favorite—it even took the runner-up spot as Best Naked Bike in our 2014 Motorcycle of the Year awards. One of the reasons we love it is that it's a proper do-it-all, as adept at the daily commute as it is good at running errands and putting a big goofy grin on your face during a weekend joyride.
