                  Overall Good Bike
                  The Honda CB500F is a 470cc bike with a sleek design and average to good looks. It comes with dual-channel ABS and front and rear disk brakes. It can go up to a top speed of around 190 kmph and has good performance. It has a 17-liter field tank and a liquid-cooled engine. The overall riding experience was powerful and the bike felt great except for a little discomfort while riding due to a little low handlebar. It can be great for shorter distances but for long rides, it feels uncomfortable. It gives around 28 kilometers per liter which are not bad compared to the performance.

                  A delightful experience with my bike
                  It's very comfortable bike and I enjoyed it a lot but it's mileage is not a fact ... Because it's very fun to Ride it's engine is so refined that I can easily pull it up in traffic.... It's pick up and top speed is so good and it's graphics designing and electronics are so spoty and usefull ... Highly recommend to ride it once

                  A bike which is only judged by its looks and but not by its power the mighty 39T
                  A bike with good looks and with a good power with a semi fairing the initial speed is best in the segment and the leading class bike but lack in proper updates made its sales very slow and it caused the marketing a criteria of this bike section is of the leading one and its competitors like rr310 ninja 300 and many other are less powerful and less confidental infront of this machine

                  Best performance bike in its segment.
                  Im using RC 390 since the past 8 months I got a better experience while riding the vehicle. It gives a better mileage while comparing to its power and performance. I got around 22 to 27 kmpl mileage. But the riding comfort is not good we can't take it to a long ride. Overall it's a beast in its segment.
