In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB500E, a motorcycle in its tenth year of production with a low cost, reliability, and good handling that made it a popular choice for commuters and motorcycle couriers. Also, the bike was used for racing in the Honda CB500 Cup in the United Kingdom.

The Honda CB500E was a middle-weight motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1993 to 2003. The bike was part of the CB series in Honda's range, a series of motorcycles with different engine displacements known for their reliability and performance.

Right from the factory, the bike came equipped with standard features, such as cast aluminum wheels, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a black-finished steel frame, a round headlight with a chromed housing, an analog instrument panel, and a completely blacked-out exhaust system.

The suspension was handled by a 37 mm telescopic fork on the front and twin adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while the stopping power was achieved by a single 296 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2002 Honda CB500E was set in motion by a 499cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine fitted with two Kehin carburetors and delivered an output power of 58 hp at 9,500 rpm and 47 Nm ( 32 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.

Overall, the Honda CB500E was a reliable and capable machine that offered smooth power delivery and good handling.
