Honda's Big Wing division has launched the all-new CB500 in India, a retro-styled roadster with a thumping single-cylinder engine positioned above the renamed CB350 range. It marks one of the notable middleweight launches of the year in the Indian market.
Positioning it as a single-cylinder step above the CB350 is a subtle move. Compared to the old lineup, it says demand for retro roadsters is on the rise. It's not a heart-rate-spiking spec sheet, but it's the kind of bike that grows on you.
