2027 Honda SCL500 Matte Black Metallic

Classic lines. Bold intentions.

DOHC twin-cylinder engine

With a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, this mid-sized motorcycle strikes an ideal balance of power, torque, and agility. 

Slipper clutch

The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch lever effort by 30 percent compared to a traditional system and minimizes rear-wheel hop during aggressive deceleration. 

Scrambler styling

This bike nails the scrambler-style look with a high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels featuring wide rims, along with a blacked-out engine and frame. 

Two-up seat

The seat offers an open, unencumbered riding position, making it ideal for both commuting and adventuring, while still providing space for a passenger.
