The Honda CB500 Four was a motorcycle introduced by Honda early in the 1970s, appearing at the London Racing and Sporting Motorcycle Show in February 1972. It was similarly styled to the CB750, but smaller and lighter, with the manufacturer's claims of 50 bhp output and a top speed of 115 mph.

Like the earlier CB750 it had a single front hydraulic disc brake, rear drum brake, electric starter, and sohc eight-valve engine. The four-into-four exhaust pipes echoed those of the CB750. Reviewing the 1972 show models, UK monthly magazine Motorcycle Mechanics described the CB500 as "One of the 'show stealers'. Four cylinders in-line across the frame, four carburettors and single overhead camshaft motor, coupled to a five-speed gearbox give this 500 cc machine the performance of a 650 twin cylinder bike".

This cafe racer example is numbered one of three from Italian private builder Motorcycle Bomber. It will come with the relevant documentation, and help will be given if required to register the bike in the UK.
