2024 Honda® SCL500

CLASSIC CHARM. CONTEMPORARY EDGE.

Inspired by our scramblers of the early 1970s, the SCL500 reimagines that iconic style motorcycle with a modern flair. Featuring the hugely popular and always-ready-to-deliver Rebel 500-based engine, it's tailored for today's riders and engineered for today’s roads. Highlights include a high-set muffler, 19-inch front wheel, comfortable passenger-ready seat, and sporty slipper/assist clutch. With standard anti-lock brakes (ABS) for enhanced safety and performance, and a new Matte Black Metallic color for 2024, this scrambler-style motorcycle is the perfect combination of nostalgic style and contemporary performance.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, it features a 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Anti-lock brakes (ABS) come standard, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.

EXHAUST

We gave it a unique upswept scrambler exhaust with a twin-outlet muffler that produces a wonderful sound. It’s a little thing, but it’ll make you smile every time you ride.

STYLE

UNIQUE SCRAMBLER STYLE

This bike gets the scrambler-style look just right: high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels with wide rims, and a blacked-out engine and frame.

DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION

An easy-to-read LCD screen features a digital speedometer, tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.

LED LIGHTING

With a clean, rough-and-ready look, the LED headlight and multi-facet reflector project plenty of light on the road for visibility.

COMFORT

TWO-UP SEAT

The seat gives you an open, unrestricted riding position that’s perfect for both touring and commuting, and that still offers room for a passenger.

HANDLING

BRAKES

It features single front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, so you get strong, predictable stopping power. The front brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit for all hand sizes.

PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION

A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension features a shock with nine-way adjustable spring preload to increase riding comfort and handling, as well as large-diameter internals for an even smoother ride.

SMOOTH TRANSMISSION

Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
