Back in 1962 our very first street scrambler, the CL72, made its debut. We figured it was time for a new breed to roll out, made for the streets of today. Retro Scrambler styling with all the modern safety features. Our scrambler style starts with the 12L retro fuel tank with pads, blacked out engine and frame, rubber gaiters and, in true CL tradition, a twin pipe exhaust muffler, with a distinctive stainless heat shield.

Producing a healthy 43.4Nm torque, the LAMS approved twin-cylinder engine has been tuned for crisp response and smooth acceleration. The CL500 drips with style and detail that only comes with long history, and begs to be ridden, customised and enjoyed.

Whether your ride takes you on the main road or the back roads, ride your way. 

• Strong Torque & power delivery - 471cc fuel injected twin-cylinder engine with a 180 spinning crank
• Added safety - Front & rear disc brakes, combined with standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
• Scrambler aesthetics - Featuring rubber gaiters, tank knee pads, retro flat seat and the iconic high-level muffler.
• Premium handling - Telescopic 41mm Upright forks with 150mm of travel, rear twin 45mm round pipe swingarm with 5-step pre-load adjustment.

Look the Part - Our iconic style starts with the 12L fuel tank; smooth, rounded and perfectly formed, with authentic rubber knee pads for comfort. And everything that can be – engine, frame and suspension – is blacked out for sleek, minimalist looks. Rubber gaiters protect fork legs, just like back in the day. High, wide handlebars give excellent control and, in true CL tradition, mirror the evocative high-level exhaust muffler, with its distinctive drilled stainless heat shield and twin-pipe exit, that sits just right.
