A Shared 471 cc Straight‑Twin Engine

2013 – A Year of Model Expansion
The CB500 Hornet was originally launched in 2013, alongside the adventure‑styled CB500X (now the NX500) and the fully faired CBR500R, marking the start of a diversified CB500 family.
From Carburetors to Modern Twins
Earlier versions of the CB500 (produced from 1994‑2003) were carbureted and generated about 43 kW, illustrating how the model has evolved to the current fuel‑injected, twin‑cylinder platform.
