Features
Comfort
- TWO-UP SEAT: The SCL500 seat gives you an open, unrestricted riding position that’s perfect for both touring and commuting, and that still offers room for a passenger. The seat’s narrow width makes it easier to put your feet down flat at stoplights or in parking lots.
Engineering
- DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, the SCL500 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: ABS comes standard on the SCL500, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.
- EXHAUST: We gave the SCL500 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.
Handling
- BRAKES: The SCL500 features a large single front disc brake so you get strong, predictable stopping power. The front-brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit.
- PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension features a shock with nine-stage adjustable spring preload to increase riding comfort and handling. The shock absorber features large-diameter internals for even better damping characteristics and a 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 SCL500’s diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe connects to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for superior ride and handling. It also contributes to the SCL500’s generous ground clearance.
Style
- UNIQUE SCRAMBLER STYLE: The SCL500 gets the scrambler 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 SCL500’s LED headlight and multi-facet reflector project plenty of light on the road for visibility.
- MULTI-SPOKE CAST WHEELS: Strong and stylish, the SCL500’s lightweight multi-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, enhance handling and are another SCL500 feature that just makes sense.
