2025 Honda® SCL500

In the 1960s and early 1970s, the legendary Honda CL350 and CL72 scramblers were some of the most popular bikes in the world. They were light, fun, and sized right and offered a user-friendly power delivery. And now we’re introducing a street scrambler-style machine that’s just as much fun, The Honda SCL500. We bet the SCL500 is going to be as popular as our original scramblers!

Features may include:

• Power & Performance

The SCL500’s 471cc 8-valve, liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine is smooth, easy to use and thoroughly engaging. It features revised PGM-FI fuel injection mapping, and a new intake and exhaust setup that deliver engaging power and torque.

• Assist & Slipper Clutch Control

The engine's clutch is designed to help you ride with confidence. It assists with a light lever load and makes for smoother, easier gear changes up and down. And you don't have to juggle engine RPM or worry about rear wheel lock-ups on multiple down changes -- the bike's slipper function handles that for you.

• Crisp Acceleration

The SCL500 engine includes a 41-tooth sprocket (one more than the Honda Rebel 500’s 40-tooth model), providing crisp acceleration through each gear.

• Balancing Size & Output

The SCL500 packs a punch by maintaining a 67mm x 66.8mm bore and stroke, along with a 10.7:1 compression ratio – the same found in the rest of the 500 series.
