Born classic. Built modern.
Classic ’70s scrambler style, updated for real life. The SCL500 blends retro lines with modern tech, an approachable twin-cylinder engine, and the confidence of standard ABS and LED lighting. It honors the past while thriving on today’s roads, delivering timeless character with everyday rideability.
Comfort & Convenience
- TWO-UP SEAT: The seat offers an open, unencumbered riding position, making it ideal for both commuting and adventuring, while still providing space for a passenger.
Engineering
- SMOOTH TRANSMISSION: Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
- HIGH-MOUNT EXHAUST: A unique scrambler-style exhaust, featuring an upswept design and a twin-outlet muffler, looks the part and sounds it, too.
- SLIPPER CLUTCH: The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch lever effort by 30 percent compared to a traditional system and minimizes rear-wheel hop during aggressive deceleration.
Handling
- DISC BRAKES: A large 310mm hydraulic front disc is gripped by a precision-engineered two-piston caliper, providing strong and predictable stopping power. The adjustable front brake lever ensures a perfect fit.
- ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: The standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps you make smoother, more controlled stops in less-than-ideal riding conditions.
- PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: Pro-Link® rear suspension connects to an adjustable spring-preload shock with large-diameter internals to provide nimble handling and a smooth ride.
- STEEL-TUBE FRAME: The main frame, constructed from diamond-shaped steel tubes, offers a robust foundation for the engine with four secure mounts, ensuring a smooth and stable ride.
- MULTI-SPOKE CAST WHEELS: Lightweight, multi-spoke cast aluminum wheels are stylish, easy to clean, and improve handling.
Performance
- DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: With a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, this mid-sized motorcycle strikes an ideal balance of power, torque, and agility.
- PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI): Our PGM-FI system monitors a range of inputs to ensure an optimal fuel mixture, delivering precise throttle response in all riding conditions.
Style
- SCRAMBLER STYLING: This bike nails the scrambler-style look with a high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels featuring wide rims, along with a blacked-out engine and frame.
Technology
- DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: An easy-to-read LCD screen displays a digital speedometer, tachometer, clock, trip meter, and more. Its small size and modern features are the perfect combination of style and function.
- LED LIGHTING: With an unpolished, utilitarian appearance, the LED light and multi-faceted reflector produce ample illumination for enhanced visibility on the road.
