CB500F-2016-001The headlight are now LED and differs than the 2013 model very well that its make this 2016 looks futuristic. The signal on the top of the side of the headlight looks okay, but we were thinking if that can be change to a slimmer signal light, that’d be nicer.

The exhaust are now shorter and much more stubbier that the 2013 model. This exhaust muffler looks a lot like the one fitted for the CBR250R.
