Why the Honda CB500 Hornet for the Canary Islands
The CB500 Hornet is one of the easiest bikes in our Tenerife fleet to get on with. It is the A2 naked: 47 hp from a smooth 471 cc parallel-twin, a 785 mm seat, 188 kg and a light, neutral chassis, so it feels friendly in town and willing as soon as the road starts to climb. On Tenerife it suits the TF-24 across the spine of the island and the winding roads up towards Teide National Park, and the 17.1 L tank gives roughly 490 km before the next fill. Honda’s 5-inch TFT with RoadSync smartphone connectivity, selectable torque control and ABS are standard. Best for an A2 holder, a newer rider, or anyone who wants a light, uncomplicated naked for the week. We run it in black and red, and a lowered version (about 20 mm lower) is available for shorter riders. Pillion is possible; for long two-up days with luggage a touring bike is more comfortable. Paved roads only, like the rest of the fleet.
What is included in price
Every Canary Ride rental is fully kitted out for the islands. You get the gear, the support, and the freedom to make the trip yours — without surprise add-ons at the desk.

Frequently asked questions
What licence do I need for the CB500 Hornet?
An A2 licence is enough: the Hornet makes 47 hp / 35 kW, which is within the A2 limit. A full A licence also works.
Is there a lower seat version of the CB500 Hornet?
Yes. We also rent the CB500 Hornet Lowered. A Lust Racing kit brings the seat about 20 mm below the standard 785 mm, so it is easier to reach the ground. The lowered bike has less ground clearance, so it suits solo riding best.
Can I ride the CB500 Hornet two-up?
Yes, it has a pillion seat. At 188 kg it is light and easy to handle, but it is a naked bike with no wind protection, so a touring bike is more comfortable for long two-up days with luggage. Luggage is free on rentals of 7 days or more.
Is the CB500 Hornet available on both islands?
At the moment the CB500 Hornet is available in Tenerife. One-way rental (return in Gran Canaria) can be added when you book.
What deposit is required?
The refundable security deposit is €600, held on your card and released when the bike is returned safely.
