The 2023 CL500 brought back Honda's CL scrambler name as a modern retro, built on the 471 cc liquid-cooled twin from the CB500 family with retuned fuel injection and shorter gearing. A steel frame, longer-travel suspension, 19/17-inch wheels, high-level exhaust and a low 790 mm seat make it an easy urban bike with light gravel ability. It is sold as the SCL500 in North America.
