Honda’s GB500: The Rumored Return of a Classic Monster

The arrival of the Honda GB350S in the UK has generated excitement among motorcycle enthusiasts, and rumors are circulating about the potential launch of a GB500 model in 2025, with the US market potentially being the first to receive it. A trademark application filed by Honda suggests that a higher-displacement version of the GB350S could be in the works. The GB500 is likely to retain the retro-styled design of the GB350S, but with a larger engine, possibly around 525cc. This new model would join Honda’s middleweight range, including the CB500F, CB500 Hornet, and CL500. The GB500 would expand Honda’s options for motorcycle fans and could mark a new chapter for the brand’s retro lineup in the US and Europe. While there is no official confirmation, all signs point to Honda preparing something special for modern classic enthusiasts.
