2024  Honda  SCL500  Matte Black Metallic - 00476M

2024 Honda SCL500 Matte Black Metallic

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.
   
• PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION PGM-FI
  The bike’s PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions for crisp throttle response throughout a wide variety of riding conditions.

• SLIPPER/ASSIST CLUTCH
  The slipper/assist clutch lets us lighten up the clutch-lever effort by 30 percent compared to previous systems, but automatically locks up tight when you release it.

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.
   
• MULTI-SPOKE CAST WHEELS
  Strong and stylish, the lightweight multi-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, enhance handling and are another feature that just makes sense.

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.
   
• STEEL-TUBE FRAME
  A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. The diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe connects to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for superior ride and handling.
