Honda has opened orders in India for its new CB500, a retro-styled motorcycle featuring a 501 cc single-cylinder engine producing 28 hp. The model is available in three trim levels, with prices ranging from 275,000 rupees (approximately 2,500 euros) to 301,900 rupees (approximately 2,760 euros). Variations between the versions include different wheel configurations, such as spoke or alloy wheels, and tubeless or traditional tire options.
