That Honda CBR500F, boy oh boy, it’s a thing, ain’t it? Some folks, they call it CB500F too. Sounds like a whole lot of letters to me, but my grandson, he’s into that stuff. Says it’s a motorcycle. A fast one, he says. He showed me a picture, all shiny and red. Looks like it could fly, that thing.

This bike, the Honda CBR500F top speed, they say it goes real fast. Faster than old Bessie, my neighbor’s cow, that’s for sure! Heard someone say it can go over a hundred miles per hour. One hundred! Can you imagine? That’s faster than a chicken running from a fox!
That Honda CBR500F, it can reach 112 mph, those folks, they say on the internet. My grandson, he showed me. He’s always on that internet. Says it’s a good bike, this Honda. Good for going on those big roads, the highways, they call ’em. And this one, it has about 47bhp. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds important. Some others say it has 47 hp, it’s probably the same thing. It has 35 kW, whatever that means. And also 31 ft-lb, maybe it tells you how heavy it is?
And it ain’t got no problem cruising on the motorway. That’s what them young folks say. You can go all day at 95-100 mph, whatever that means. Sounds mighty fast to me. Faster than I’d ever wanna go, that’s for sure!
- This Honda, it’s got a good engine, they say. 471cc, they say. What does that mean? I don’t know.
- That Honda CBR500F top speed is something, though.
- Goes from nothing to sixty real quick. Faster than a cat up a tree! They even say it is faster than a BMW 5 series.
My grandson, he says it’s a “naked bike.” Don’t know why they call it that. Maybe ’cause it ain’t got no windshield. Says the wind hits you right in the chest. Sounds cold to me. I like my scarf and my old coat. I prefer it is covered. This bike is not good if you don’t like the wind.
But they say it’s a good bike. This Honda CBR500F. Solid, they say. Can go over bumps easy. My old back ain’t what it used to be, so that sounds good to me. I don’t like bumpy rides. Makes my teeth chatter.

You can ride it anywhere, that’s what they say. Around the city, that means in town. Or out on those big freeways. Same thing as highways, I think. Just fancy words for the same thing.
They talk about this “0-60” thing. Means how fast it goes from not moving to sixty miles per hour. They say this Honda does it real quick. Faster than you can say “Jack Robinson,” I reckon. And also 0-100 km/h, 0-100 mph, 0-160 km/h. Maybe they are talking about how fast it gets there.
And this “1/4 mile” thing, too. Sounds like a horse race. But it’s about how fast the bike goes that far. Quarter of a mile. Don’t know why they measure it like that. Seems strange to me.
This 2023 Honda CB500F, they say it’s the newest one. Shiny and new. Probably costs a pretty penny, too. More than I got in my cookie jar, that’s for sure! But it’s all about that Honda CB500F top speed. Everyone is talking about it.
They say it’s good on gas, too. Fuel, they call it. Don’t need to fill it up all the time. That’s good, ’cause gas costs a lot these days. More than a bag of sugar, that’s for sure! It is good for saving money on that fuel thing.

- No windshield means wind in your face. Brrr!
- Good for going over bumps. My old back appreciates that.
- Honda CBR500F top speed is fast! Over 100 mph!
- Goes from 0-60 real quick. Like a scared rabbit.
- Good on fuel, they say. Saves you money.
So, that’s what I hear about this Honda CBR500F. Sounds like a fancy machine. Too fancy for me, I reckon. I’ll stick to my old rocking chair. But for those young folks who like to go fast, this might be the bike for them. Just gotta watch out for them bumps and that wind, I suppose. And remember that Honda CB500F top speed, if that’s what you’re looking for. I still don’t know how to say it properly: CBR or CB? Maybe they are the same thing.
