Last November, we told you about the Euro-spec 2023 Honda CL500. Upon hearing the news, we lobbied American Honda hard to bring it here, and the powers that be in the US heard us. Renamed the SCL500 for the US market—though its official model number is CL500A—it is nearly identical to the European model. The most important difference—it's available here. So, let's give a quick rundown of the 2023 Honda SCL500 Scrambler.

The 2023 Honda SCL500 is based on the Rebel 500 platform. Here's the official pitch for the SCL500, courtesy of American Honda Manager of Sports & Experiential Brandon Wilson: Honda namedrops the CL72 and CL77 scramblers from the 1960s when promoting the 2023 SCL500. Although the main frame and DOHC motor are from the Rebel 500, the SCL500 gets its own exhaust system, subframe, suspension, wheels/tires, geometry, ergonomics (seat and handlebar), fuel tank, and side panels. The SCL500 gets a bit longer legs. The SCL500 has an ADV-style 19-/17-inch wheel pairing. With longer suspension travel, a different subframe, and larger-diameter wheels, the 2023 Honda SCL500 has a seat height over 31 inches. The Rebel 500 has a solo seat, while the SCL500 lets you share the fun with a passenger on a long bench-style seat. The arcing fuel tank, complete with knee pads, holds 3.2 gallons of fuel. The handlebar bend is high and wide. While the muffler exits high, the headers run under the frame. Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour tires give a bit of an off-road-ready look to the SCL500. ABS is standard with the 310mm/240mm disc brake combo. The morphing from the Rebel 500 to the SCL500 adds 11 pounds to the package. Two styling packages and 25 accessories are available from Honda for the SCL500. The 2023 Honda SCL500 will be available next month in two colors: Candy Orange and Matte Laurel Green Metallic. 2023 Honda SCL500 Specs ENGINE CHASSIS DIMENSIONS and CAPACITIES 2023 Honda SCL500 Price: $6799 MSRP 2023 Honda SCL500 Accessories
