OK I'm really not a purest but.... Aren't the CB line in-line 4- cylinder bikes?
A CB500F makes sense to me in that it would be a great bike for communting that you can on longer trips - probably a lot like my 95 750. However, it has a sport bike seat which is just plain confusing to me. If I'm commuting I want comfort and if I have a rider on the back I don't want them having to lean up against me - that's what sport bikes are for. It you look at the pictures you see that the rider is always leaning forward - I guess to make the bike look more sporty. However, in normal riding you'd be more upright. Time will tell but I think the CB500F is one of those bikes that just don't fit into any market. I'd take a long hard look at the NC700 or NV700 before I thought about the CB500F.
