Following the launch of Husqvarna’s Vitpilen 701 in 2018, with the Svartpilen 701 to arrive around the middle of 2019, Husky recently uncovered their new sportsbike concept at EICMA – the Vitpilen 701 Aero.
Husqvarna’s Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept at EICMA
Introduced as a ‘modern faired sport bike’ with an innovative design approach that pays respect to the past in a progressive way, the Aero hints at the potential for a more performance-oriented future for the Husqvarna Motorcycles street range.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept – Distinct, elegant and simple styling make the Aero a standout
The Aero boasts a retro-race styled fairing for a eye catching front end, flowing into the futuristic tank and tail design, with minimalistic overall styling and bodywork.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept – Retro-racer front fairing, possibly featuring a hidden headlight
While exact details are still limited, it is obvious the Aero will be based on the Vitpilen 701, which boasts a 693cc single-cylinder powerplant, producing 75hp and 72Nm of torque.
The Vitpilen 701’s powerplant is featured alongside the trellis frame
The standard 701 features a Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel trellis frame, with high spec WP suspension front and rear, as well as Brembo braking systems and Bosch ABS. An obvious standout is the solid (rather than spoked) rear wheel, while overall ergonomics will no doubt be far sportier than the Vitpilen 701 on which it is based.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept – It remains to be seen whether this will be a higher tuned machine
The paint job for this bike is something special, but underneath the coat of blue and white is a powerful single-cylinder motor with modern electronics. The windshield completely changes the position of the cockpit, encouraging a lower, more locked-in position, for a fully immersive riding experience.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept – Rider ergonomics will be far more aggressive
A TFT display unique to the Vitpilen 701 Aero is another component that highlights the ongoing evolution of the design between simple form and progressive function. Mounted at the heart of the cockpit, is a constructed round, full colour TFT display, shaped to match the design language of the motorcycle.
Its simple form and typically reduced Husqvarna Motorcycles style should not be mistaken for basic function, as this display version highlights the option to change several interface elements.

Svartpilen Styling
The Svartpilen 701 uses a flat track inspired design, stripped to the essentials for a unique style, combined with friendly ergonomics, and more than a little touch of the avant-grade.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 headlight
A focal point of the Svartpilen 701 is the 12-litre fuel tank housed by a unique cover design and sporting a tank filler cap including machined Husqvarna insignia.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
The low profile seat and clean tail fit the overall design and is covered using a mixture of high quality materials for superior comfort and durability.

Nestled into the front headlight mask, the premium LED headlight also features a day time running light, which circles the circumference of the headlight making the Svartpilen 701 clearly visible in all conditions.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 LED light and DRL
The LED tail light is integrated within the bodywork and this, together with the swingarm mounted license plate and turn signals, give the rear end a clean, uninterrupted look.
692.7cc single-cylinder powerplant
The 692.7cc, single overhead cam, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine features a high level of technology and electronics including RbW, with a maximum power output of 7 5hp (55 kW) at 8500 rpm and 72.0 Nm of torque at 6750rpm. The lightweight engine weighs only 43.4kg without oil but including all components such as electric start, throttle body, clutch and coolant lines.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Reliability, durability and efficiency are offered by technical solutions such as active crankcase evacuation and forced lubrication. This reduces oil friction and pump losses and contributes to the long 10,000 km service intervals and low fuel consumption – lowering the cost of ownership of this single cylinder powered motorcycle.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Smooth power delivery is aided by four-valve cylinder head and twin spark ignition. The single overhead camshaft acts directly on the 42 mm intake valves via finger followers, while the 34 mm exhaust valves are actuated by a rocker arm. Additionally, a counter balancer shaft is integrated to reduce vibration for a smooth and comfortable ride.
The crankshaft features an 80 mm stroke and runs on a roller bearing main bearing to ensure long service intervals and reliability. To increase comfort and reduce vibrations a second counter balancer shaft is added, reducing inertia forces for a smoother ride.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
The plain bearing type connecting rod is connected to the large bore 105 mm piston through a DLC (diamond like carbon) coated piston pin. This, along with the aluminium and silicon alloy piston material, makes for a high strength and wear-resistant combination reliable even at the 900 rpm limit.
The Keihin electronic fuel injection features a 50 mm throttle body that has no mechanical linkage to the throttle grip. As the rider twists the throttle open or closed, the throttle valve is electronically controlled by the engine management system (EMS) that continuously compares engine parameters with data from sensors, and adjusts the throttle valve accordingly, resulting in direct power delivery and throttle response.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Additionally an intake resonator also improves the intake charge movement and as a result improves throttle response and ride-ability specifically at small throttle valve positions.
The APTC (Adler Power Torque Control) slipper clutch by Adler helps prevent rear wheel hopping when downshifting hard into a turn while the hydraulic assistance is by Magura.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
A six-speed gearbox offers smooth shifting, and for added convenience in urban environments, the gearbox is linked to an ‘easy shift sensor’, which allows the rider to make seamless up and down shifts without the use of the clutch. The sensor works by relaying the moment the rider actuates the gear lever to the ECU, which in turn matches engine parameters to allow a simple gear change at any RPM or engine load.
Concealed within the framework, the exhaust system features a pre-silencer and final silencer layout. The exhaust system ensures the Svartpilen 701 meets strict Euro4 emission regulations.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Svartpilen 701 chassis
The lightweight chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame is constructed to offer precise handling and confidence in a variety of conditions. The high grade chromium molybdenum tubular steel ensures feedback is transmitted to the rider through precisely engineered torsional rigidity and longitudinal flex. This guarantees perfect weight distribution and a tight turning circle, which is highly useful in urban environments.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
The lightweight frame is produced in a modern production plant, where the laser cut components are robot welded and hydro-formed ensuring precision and consistent quality.
The forged triple clamps are crafted using lightweight aluminium, the triple clamps are designed with a specific rigidity to ensure high levels of strength and reliability while also delivering feedback and comfort to the rider. Offroad style handlebars are mounted to the upper triple clamp using risers, for an upright riding position.
The pin jointed swingarm is made from lightweight aluminium using a gravity die-cast production process, with a design that offers torsional rigidity and strength for advanced tractability and stability.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Produced by WP suspension, the USD 43 mm front forks deliver adjustable performance and comfort in varying urban environments. Using a split damping function, compression and rebound can be adjusted using the easy access clickers located on the top of the fork tube, for easy personalisation of the ride.
Connected via a linkage system, the WP monoshock delivers a progressive, agile and comfortable ride. Fully adjustable for rebound and compression, the shock can also be tailored to suite a variety of urban conditions.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
Lightweight 18in front and 17in rear cast alloy wheels ensure high levels of strength and durability with minimal unsprung weight, and feature the Husqvarna logo discreetly embedded into the wheel. Fitted to the wheels are Pirelli MT60 RS tyres – 110/80-18 front and 160/60-17 rear. The tyres offer advanced grip and durability in a wide range of conditions while also giving the Svartpilen 701 a rugged urban look.
2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
A high standard of braking performance is also delivered by the standard Brembo braking system. This features a four-piston calliper, 320mm floating disc at the front, and a single piston calliper with 240mm disc at the rear. A standard Bosch ABS system prevents wheel lock up under hard braking and can be fully de-activated for more advanced riders.

2019 Honda CB500X
Now 2019 sees an evolution for the CB500X, with new, more sophisticated adventure style, more engine performance and a number of chassis upgrades that ensure the CB500X remains a versatile machine with wide ranging abilities.
Styling now takes cues from the Africa Twin, complemented by longer travel suspension, a high specification single tube shock absorber, enhanced rider ergonomics and a 19-inch front wheel.
While the CB500X’s engine already maintains the 35kW peak output required for A2 licence holders (and Australia’s similar LAMS requirements), it now makes 4 per cent more power and torque between 3000-7000rpm, with revisions to the inlet, exhaust and valve timing.

The 2019 CB500X has been rerestyled with Honda’s development engineers extending the radiator shrouds and fairing to offer a less pronounced beak and more refined fairing profile. The fuel tank now also interlocks with the side covers for a better overall flow from nose to tail.
2019 Honda CB500X
Thanks to improved aerodynamic performance, the high pressure air flowing around the fairing and screen has been reduced, improving wind protection for the rider at highway speeds. The seat profile, too has been slimmed by shaving the shoulders at the front, allowing for easy movement around the machine, and aiding comfortable ground reach.
To help the CB500X’s manoeuvrability the steering angle has increased by 3-degrees and is now out to 38-degrees from centre to full lock.
2019 Honda CB500X
New LCD instruments – set in a multi surfaced and textured surround – now feature a Gear Position and shift-light indicator; this is set to a default 8750 rpm but can be adjusted in 250 rpm increments between 5000 and 8750 rpm. The tubular screen stay can also mount a GPS above the instruments.
The 35 mm diameter steel diamond tube mainframe is unchanged for 2019, proving light and strong, with a tuned degree of yield that gives plenty of feedback to the rider as road surfaces change. The shape and position of the engine mounts, plus the frame’s rigidity balance also help reduce vibration.
2019 Honda CB500X
Wheelbase is 1445 mm and rake and trail are set at 27.5-degrees and 108 mm respectively, aiming at giving nimble, yet confidence inspiring steering.
Mass centralisation, with the engine in close proximity to the swingarm pivot point, delivers turning agility and optimum front/rear weight distribution for stability. Kerb weight is 197 kg.
Seat height is 830 mm; overall dimensions are 2155 mm x 825 mm x 1410 mm, with 180 mm ground clearance.
The fuel tank holds 17.5L including reserve, and combined with the engine’s fuel economy of 27.8km/l (WMTC mode) gives a claimed touring range of 500 km.
2019 Honda CB500X – 830mm seat height with shaved down frontal seat area
The 41 mm preload adjustable telescopic forks feature an extra 10mm travel, up to 150mm; while rear wheel travel has been raised from 118m to 135mm and a new single tube rear shock absorber (as found on larger capacity sports bikes) replaces the double tube design of the previous model; its large diameter piston ensuring suspension response and temperature management.
The CB500X also now has nine-stage spring preload adjustment working through a rigid box section steel swingarm, which now features pressed steel chain adjustment end pieces. Final drive is via sealed 520 chain.
2019 Honda CB500X
The 17inch front wheel has been replaced with a 19inch which – along with the longer travel suspension – ensures confident, supremely stable handling on rough surfaces. The lightweight aluminium rim wears a 110/80R19 trail pattern tyre, the 17inch rear a 160/60R17 tyre. A single front 310mm wavepattern disc and twopiston brake caliper is matched to a 240mm rear disc and singlepiston caliper. ABS is fitted as standard.
The CB500X will be available in the following colour options: Grand Prix Red; Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic; Pearl Metalloid White.
Liquid-cooled LAMS parallel twin-cylinder engine
The CB500X’s eight-valve liquid cooled parallel twin cylinder layout offers a balance of compact size and willing, enjoyable power output, with an energetic, high revving character.
2019 Honda CB500X
Already strong off the bottom, the target for 2019 development was faster acceleration through a boost in low to mid-range power and torque in the 3000-7000rpm range; the 4% improvement coming via altered valve timing – with ‘close’ timing accelerated by 5° – and lift increased .3mm to 7.8mm.
Feeding the PGMFI fuel injection is now a more straight shot airflow through the airbox and throttle bodies. The battery has been repositioned further away (44.1mm versus 13.4mm) from the rear of the airbox intake duct to allow greater airflow. The exhaust muffler also now features dual exit pipes, adding a sportier sounding edge to each pulse. Peak power of 35kW arrives at 8,500rpm, with 43Nm torque delivered at 7,000rpm.
2019 Honda CB500X
Bore and stroke is set at 67mm x 66.8mm and compression ratio remains 10.7:1; the crankshaft pins are phased at 180° and a primary couple balancer sits behind the cylinders, close to the bike’s centre of gravity. The primary and balancer gears use scissor gears, reducing noise. The crank counterweight is specifically shaped for couple balance and its light weight allows the engine to spin freely, with reduced inertia.
Acting as a stressed member, the engine complements the frame’s rigidity with four frame hangers on the cylinder head. Internally the cylinder head uses roller rocker arms; shim-type acting as a stressed member, the engine complements the frame’s rigidity with four frame hangers on the cylinder head. Internally the cylinder head uses roller rocker arms; shimtype valve adjustment allows them to be light, for lower valvespring load and reduced friction.
2019 Honda CB500X
A silent (SV Chain) cam chain has the surface of its pins treated with Vanadium, reducing friction with increased protection against wear. Inlet valve diameter is 26mm with exhaust valve diameter of 21.5mm.
The piston shape is based upon those used in the CBR1000RR Fireblade to reduce piston ‘noise’ at high rpm. Friction is reduced by the addition of striations on the piston skirt (a finish that increases surface area, introducing gaps in which oil can flow for better lubrication). As with the CBR1000RR, an AB 1 salt bath process, used after isonite nitriding, forms a protective oxidisation membrane.
2019 Honda CB500X
The ‘triangle’ proportion of crankshaft, main shaft and countershaft is very similar to that of Honda’s four cylinder RR engines and much of the internal structure and engineering is taken directly from the CBR1000RR.
2019 Honda CB500X
The crankcase uses centrifugally cast thin walled sleeves; their internal design reduces the ‘pumping’ losses that can occur with a 180° phased firing order. Using the same internal relief structure as that of the CBR1000RR, the oil pump features improved aeration performance, with reduced friction; a deep sump reduces oil movement under hard cornering and braking. Oil capacity is 3.2L.
2019 Honda CB500X
A sixspeed gearbox mirrors that of its RR cousin and uses the same gear change arm structure and link mechanism. New for 2019 an assist/slipper clutch enables lighter upshifts and smooths out any hard downshifts.

Following the unveiling of the recent BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS, the new F 850 GS Adventure now expands the BMW Motorrad range in the adventure-touring segment.
Like the renowned boxer-engined BMW GS Adventure models, the new F 850 GS Adventures offers a dedicated travel enduro, for offroad oriented touring riders and globetrotters.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
A new refined two-cylinder in-line engine with 90-degree crankpin offset and 270/450 degree ignition spacing incudes counterbalance shafts to reduce vibration. A slip-assist clutch provides a discernible reduction in lever effort.
The power transmission to the rear wheel comes from the six-speed gearbox with secondary drive that is now positioned on the left-hand side.
The new F 850 GS Adventure offers “Rain” and “Road” riding modes as standard, while the combination of BMW Motorrad ABS and the ASC automatic stability control ensure a high level of safety.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
The F 850 GS Adventure can be fitted ex works with optional equipment, such as Pro Riding Modes and in turn the additional Dynamic, Enduro and Enduro Pro riding modes as well as the DTC dynamic traction control and lean-angle responsive ABS Pro.
The bridge frame of the new F 850 GS Adventure integrates the two-cylinder in-line engine as a supporting element of the backbone while the 23-litre fuel tank has been placed in the classic position between the seat and the steering head for an improved centre of gravity. BMW claim a touring range of 550 kilometres.
New, bodywork emphasises the F 850 GS Adventure’s more modern looks, with a larger adjustable windshield and hand-guards.
Wide enduro footrests, adjustable shift and foot brake levers as well as engine protection bars and a stainless steel luggage rack round off the F 850 GS Adventure’s standard equipment.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
In addition to the basic version, the new F 850 GS Adventure is available in Exclusive and Rallye style variations.

In-line, two-cylinder engine
The F 850 GS Adventure’s two-cylinder in-line engine has been completely re-engineered, with an aim to increase in power and torque compared to the previous models, as well as optimising combustion so as to reduce fuel consumption.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
The engine displacement is now 853 cc (compared with 798 cc), resulting from a bore of 84 mm and stroke of 77 mm. The new F 850 GS Adventure generates 70 kW (95 hp) at 8250 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 92 Nm at 6250rpm. In particular, the increased torque results in improved pulling power, with a claimed top speed of 197 km/h.
The two-cylinder in-line engine is installed transverse to the direction of travel and liquid-cooled. In contrast to the engines of the previous model, however, its crankshaft has a 90-degree journal offset and a 270/450 degree ignition spacing (previous model had a 0 degree crankshaft journal offset and a 360 degree ignition spacing).
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
Two opposed counterbalance shafts help keep things smooth. These two opposed counterbalance shafts are arranged in front of or behind the crankshaft, a little below its axis, and are driven from the left of the crankshaft by the spur gears.
The engine of the new F 850 GS Adventure has dry-sump lubrication, which does not require a separate tank for engine oil. Any oil escaping from the main bearings is collected in a drain that is sealed off from the oil sump.
The bike’s off-road character is further reflected in the F 850 GS Adventure’s underside protection, which protects the oil sump from any damage.
The cylinder head of the new F 850 GS Adventure contains two rotating overhead camshafts driven by a toothed belt, which operates four valves per cylinder by means of light fixed-speed rocker arms. The timing chain drive is on the right-hand side of the engine.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure – Luggaged up
The valve angles are 11.2 degrees on the intake side and 13.3 degrees on the exhaust. The valves have a plate diameter of 33.5 mm (intake) and 27.2 mm (outlet). The compression ratio is 12.7:1.
Carburation is by means of intake pipe injection with next-generation BMS engine control. The rider’s control signals passed directly by a sensor on the throttle grip via an e-gas system to the motor controller, which regulates the angle of opening of the throttle valves.
The power transmission of the new F 850 GS Adventure has also been subjected to complete re-engineering. The primary drive arrangement on the right-hand side of the engine is responsible for transmitting the torque from the crankshaft to the clutch by means of spur gears. This is now designed as a slip-assist wet clutch.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
The newly engineered six-speed gearbox now transfers the torque with an optimised transmission ratio spread to the secondary drive on the left (formerly right), in the form of an X-ring chain. For fast up and down gear shifting without using the clutch, BMW Motorrad now offers the Shift Assistant Pro, available as optional equipment ex works.
Positioning the secondary drive on the left-hand side of the motorcycle, has made it possible to move the stainless steel exhaust system of the new F 850 GS Adventure to the right. This has advantages when the rider manoeuvres the motorcycle by hand, which is usually done from the left-hand side. The F 850 GS Adventure can also be fitted with an HP muffler with a sporty design, as optional equipment ex works.
The F 850 GS Adventure comes with the two riding modes “Rain” and Road” and ASC automatic stability control, to ensure a high degree of rider safety.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure – Standard dash
In “Rain” mode, the throttle response is configured to be soft, while the control characteristics of the ASC or DTC and ABS or ABS Pro are based on wet and slippery road surfaces. In “Road” mode, the engine permits optimum throttle response, while the ABS and ASC control systems are configured for ideal performance on all roads.
The F 850 GS Adventure can also be equipped with the “Pro riding modes” option as optional equipment ex works. It features the riding modes “Dynamic” and “Enduro” as well as the DTC dynamic traction control and the curve-optimised ABS Pro with dynamic brake light.
Ambitious enduro riders can tap into the full off-road performance in “Enduro Pro” mode. This riding mode is configured for the use of lugged tyres and is activated by a specially coded plug. With “Enduro Pro” the rider can individually configure and combine characteristics such as throttle response, DTC and ABS Pro. Here too Dynamic ESA is modified for offroad use and is set to the Enduro value.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
Updated chassis for road and dirt
The bridge frame developed for the new F 850 GS Adventure integrates the two-cylinder in-line engine as a self-supporting element and is made of deep-drawn sheet metal parts that are welded together. The new frame in monocoque design has greater torsional stiffness than the predecessor model with tubular steel space frame.
The new frame concept also involved a repositioning of the fuel tank and the 23-litre tank in the new F 850 GS Adventure is now located in the classic position between the seat and steering head, for optimising wheel load fluctuations and overall centre of gravity.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure – 23L tank
The avoidance of aluminium as a material was due to the tough conditions in which an enduro vehicle often finds itself. Significant benefits are offered by steel and the design of the new main frame.
The new F 850 GS Adventure has also undergone optimisation in terms of suspension geometry, with a flatter steering head in comparison to the previous model, as well as greater castor at the wheels.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
F 850 GS riders will also benefit from new wheel guides and spring shock absorber elements. Front wheel guidance is in the form of a new upside-down fork with 43mm slide tube diameter and 230 mm of spring travel (210 mm when lowered). The slider tubes are protected from stone impacts by plastic guards that are integrated in the front wheel cover.
Rear wheel control takes the form of a double-sided aluminium swinging arm and directly linked central spring strut with travel-dependent damping, which also has an adjustable spring base and rebound stage damping that can be adjusted to suit personal requirements. Spring travel distance is 215 mm (195 mm when lowered).
The BMW Motorrad dynamic ESA electronic suspension is available as optional equipment, offering a dynamic riding experience, where rider comfort and touring suitability of the new F 850 GS Adventure can be increased even further.
Dynamic ESA does not function as a standalone system but communicates with the other control systems, such as ABS / ABS Pro and ASC or DTC. The Dynamic ESA is also linked with the riding modes “Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic”, “Enduro”, and “Enduro Pro”.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure – Optional Connectivity accessory with 6.5in TFT
The F 850 GS Adventure is fitted with cross-spoke wheels with aluminium rims sized 2.15 x 21 at the front and 4.25 x 17 at the rear. The 21-inch front wheel favoured for sports-oriented offroad use as this grants high riding stability thanks to the larger gyroscopic forces, offering distinct advantages on loose ground.
The F 850 GS Adventure is also equipped with enduro street tyres as standard. It has tubeless tyres sized 90/90-21 at the front and 150/70-17 at the rear. More aggressive off-road specific tyres can be ordered as free optional equipment ex works.
Dual 305 mm discs are clamped by two-piston floating calipers. A single disc brake with a diameter of 265mm is fitted to the rear wheel with a single-piston floating caliper. The bike is fitted as standard with BMW Motorrad ABS, which the rider can also deactivate.
Further safety enhancing features for motorcycles are available in the form of the Pro riding modes optional equipment, ABS Pro functions, and a dynamic brake light – currently still limited to the EU and ECE region.
ABS Pro goes one step further than the BMW Motorrad ABS by offering increased safety when braking on bends in that ABS-supported braking is permitted in banking position. In the riding modes “Rain” and “Road”, ABS Pro is dimensioned for road use and moderate to low frictional values, plus optimum braking stability.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
BMW Motorrad electronics
An LED headlamp is now offered as a standard feature on the new F 850 GS Adventure, and in addition to this, aLED daytime riding light is available as an optional equipment item.
The new LED headlamp lights up the road with a beam that is bright and offers strong clarity, also ensuring better visibility in traffic. The F 850 GS Adventure is also equipped with a completely new instrument cluster design, consisting of an analogue tachometer and a multifunctional display, alongside a number of control lamps.
New optional equipment known as Connectivity, includes a 6.5 inch full-colour TFT display. In conjunction with integrated operation via the BMW Motorrad multi-controller, it gives the rider quick access to vehicle and connectivity functions.
As is already the case with other BMW Motorrad models, the Keyless Ride system is available as optional equipment ex works and replaces the conventional ignition/steering lock in the new F 850 GS Adventure. The steering lock, ignition, fuel filler flap and anti-theft device are all activated by the transponder integrated in the vehicle key, which transmits a wireless signal with a frequency specific to the vehicle.
Design and Ergos
A high-positioned air intake, ample spring travel and ground clearance, functionally designed surfaces and a precise panel alignment underline the robust offroad attributes of the new middle class GS Adventure.
Like the big GS boxer Adventure it’s appearance is authentic, with iconic design features such as the asymmetric headlamp and the GS typical flyline clearly identify it as a member of the BMW Motorrad GS family. Starting from the front “beak” of the GS, the flyline extends over the fuel tank and seat to the rear, which is considerably more narrow in design that the predecessor model.
2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure
The new F 850 GS Adventure’s offroad suitability is also increased thanks to the new design of the fuel tank/seat area without any edges or corners. This is advantageous above all when riding offroad in a standing position. Conified 15mm higher handlebars, also ensure an even more comfortable seated position, while adjustable hand levers for the clutch and front brake enable the rider to choose his own setup.
Wider off road-optimised enduro footrests improve the bike’s off-road riding capabilities, with an adjustable foot brake lever insert for riding offroad in a standing position. An adjustable shift lever rounds off the ergonomic adjustment package.
An optimised inner leg curve length, numerous available seat heights, and a refined ergonomic triangle around the handlebars, seat bench and footrests also ensure a ride suitable for a broad range of riders. Compared to the predecessor model the standard seat height has been reduced by 15mm to 875mm. The minimum seat height of 815mm can be reached by lowering the suspension and installing a lower seat bench (optional equipment ex works).

In addition wind and weather protection was optimised to make long-distance riding even more comfortable, with a height-adjustable touring windshield as well as two side wind deflectors as standard. The touring windshield of the F 850 GS Adventure can be adjusted in two positions improving wind and weather protection significantly. This is also optionally available for the F 850 GS.
Three dynamic colour and three style variations give the new F 850 GS Adventure its individual and characteristic features. The painted parts of both models have been deliberately kept to a minimum. They are located in the upper area of the motorcycle, where they form the interface between the rider and the motorcycle. The lower area of the motorcycle and the GS “beak’, on the other hand, are in black, to underline its offroad character.

Honda’s highly popular mid-capacity learner machine, the CB500F was launched back in 2013 alongside the CBR500R and CB500X and has since gone on to strong success
2019 Honda CB500F
Now for 2019 the CB500F has further evolved, with the addition of aggressive bodywork, tapered handlebars, a new LCD dash featuring a Shift Up and Gear Position functionality and all LED indicators – to match the rest of the lighting.
While the CB500F already reaches the A2 (and similar LAMS) limit of 35kW, Honda have been able to tune the bike for more more power and torque in the low to mid range thanks to revisions to the inlet, exhaust and valve timing, contributing to a 4 per cent boost.
2019 Honda CB500F
A new dual exit exhaust muffler also emits a heartier exhaust note making for a more enjoyable experience, while the engine also features an assist/slipper clutch.
The chassis remains unchanged as a testament to the quality of the existing spec, while a new rear singletube shock absorber has been added, aiming to deliver even more consistent damping performance and improved control.
2019 Honda CB500F
2019 Honda CB500F new features
New aggressively styled bodywork
Tapered handlebars for control and feel
New LCD instrument display
Gear Position and Shift Up indicators
LED indicators (now all LED lighting)
Revised inlet, exhaust and valve timing
4% more midrange power and torque
Sportier sound from the new dualexit muffler
Assist/Slipper clutch eases upshifts and manages downshifts
Revised styling & updated shock
For its 2019 evolution the CB500F’s naked styling has evolved from front to rear, with an eye catching headlight design and lowset stance, including side shrouds which interlock with the fuel tank and emphasise the engine. Side covers and the seat unit also contribute to the angular theme.
2019 Honda CB500F – Now with LED indicators
Tapered handlebars add leverage for the rider, while a new LCD dash features a Gear Position and Shift Up indicator, which is set to a default 8750rpm but can be adjusted in 250rpm increments.
The 35mm diameter steel diamond tube mainframe is unchanged for 2019 and the wheelbase is 1410mm and rake and trail are set at 25.5°/102mm, giving nimble but confidence inspiring steering. Mass centralisation, with the engine in close proximity to the swingarm pivot point, delivers agility and an optimum front/rear weight distribution, while kerb weight is 189kg.
2019 Honda CB500F – Steel diamond frame
The seat height remains low at 785mm, making the CB500F easy to manage and the neutral riding position lends itself to comfort and riders of any height. Overall dimensions are 2080mm x 790mm x 1060mm, with 145mm ground clearance.
The fuel tank holds a generous 17.1L including reserve, and Honda claim that combined with the engine’s strong fuel economy gives a range of up to 480km.
2019 Honda CB500F – Fuel range is a claimed 480km
The 41mm preload adjustable telescopic front forks have 120mm stroke, for a compliant yet controlled ride, with strong feel for front tyre grip. The new single tube rear shock absorber is as found on larger capacity sports bikes and replaces the outgoing double-tube design of the previous model.
2019 Honda CB500F – 41mm forks
The new shocks larger diameter piston ensures excellent suspension response and temperature management. It also features 9-stage spring preload adjustment and works with a rigid boxsection steel swingarm, which now features pressed steel chain adjustment endpieces. Final drive is via sealed 520 chain.
2019 Honda CB500F – New rear shock
Lightweight 17inch cast aluminium wheels employ hollow cross section Y shaped spokes, with a front wheel width of 3.5inch and a 120/70ZR17 tyre, while the rear is a 4.5inch with a 160/60ZR17 tyre. A single front 320mm wavy disc and two piston brake caliper is matched to a 240mm rear disc and single piston caliper. ABS is fitted as standard.
2019 Honda CB500F
The CB500F will be available in the following colour options: Grand Prix Red; Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic; Pearl Metalloid White; Candy Energy Orange.
Lively LAMS twin cylinder
The CB500F’s learner eight-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder layout offers a balance of physical size and enjoyable power output, with an high revving character and top end. The target for 2019 was faster acceleration through a boost in low to mid range power and torque. The 4% improvement comes via altered valve timing – with ‘close’ timing accelerated by 5° – and lift increased by 0.3mm to 7.8mm.
Feeding the PGMFI fuel injection is now a straight shot of airflow through the airbox and throttle bodies. The battery has been repositioned further away (44.1mm versus 13.4mm) from the rear of the airbox intake duct to allow greater airflow; the exhaust muffler now features dual exit pipes, adding a sportier sounding edge to each pulse. Peak power of 35kW arrives at 8,500rpm, with 43Nm torque delivered at 7,000rpm.
2019 Honda CB500F
Bore and stroke is set at 67 x 66.8mm and compression ratio remains 10.7:1; the crankshaft pins are phased at 180° and a primary couple balancer sits behind the cylinders, close to the bike’s centre of gravity. The primary and balancer gears use scissor gears, reducing noise. The crank counterweight is specifically shaped for couple balance and its light weight allows the engine to spin freely, with reduced inertia.
Acting as a stressed member, the engine complements the frame’s rigidity with four frame hangers on the cylinder head. Internally the cylinder head uses roller rocker arms – shim type valve adjustment allows them to be light, for lower valve spring load and reduced friction.
2019 Honda CB500F
A silent (SV Chain) cam chain has the surface of its pins treated with Vanadium, reducing friction with increased protection against wear. Inlet valve diameter is 26.0mm with exhaust valve diameter of 21.5mm. The piston shape is based upon those used in the CBR1000RR Fireblade to reduce piston ‘noise’ at high rpm. Friction is reduced by the addition of striations on the piston skirt (a finish that increases surface area, introducing gaps in which oil can flow for better lubrication). As with the CBR1000RR, an AB 1 salt bath process, used after isonite nitriding, forms a protective oxidisation membrane.
2019 Honda CB500F
The ‘triangle’ proportion of crankshaft, main shaft and countershaft is very similar to that of Honda’s four-cylinder RR engines and much of the internal structure and engineering is taken directly from the CBR1000RR.
2019 Honda CB500F
The crankcase uses centrifugally cast thin walled sleeves; their internal design reduces the ‘pumping’ losses that can occur with a 180° phased firing order. Using the same internal relief structure as that of the CBR1000RR, the oil pump features improved aeration performance, with reduced friction; a deep sump reduces oil movement under hard cornering and braking. Oil capacity is 3.2L.
2019 Honda CB500F
The CB500F’s six-speed gearbox is very close to that of its RR cousin and uses the same gear change arm structure and link mechanism. New for 2019 an Assist/Slipper clutch enables lighter upshifts and smooths out any hard downshifts.
