2025 Honda SCL500 For Sale in Amsterdam, NY

The 2025 Honda SCL500 is the ultimate modern scrambler, built for those who want a bike that handles the daily commute through Gloversville just as easily as the gravel backroads of Northville. If you’re looking to explore the rolling hills of Fulton County or cruise into Johnstown for a bite, this machine offers a rugged, “go-anywhere” aesthetic paired with the refined reliability only a Honda can provide. Its high-mounted exhaust, fork gaiters, and upright riding position pay homage to the classic dual-sports of the 1970s, while the punchy 471cc parallel-twin engine delivers smooth, predictable power for the open stretches toward Mayfield and Broadalbin. With a 19-inch front wheel and extra suspension travel, the SCL500 is designed to soak up the frost heaves and uneven pavement common in our corner of Upstate New York, making it a top-tier choice for riders who value both style and versatility.

Engine: 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke; DOHC with four valves per cylinder.

Transmission: Six-speed manual with an assist/slipper clutch to reduce lever effort and prevent rear-wheel hop.

Suspension: 41mm telescopic front fork (5.9 inches of travel) and twin rear shocks with adjustable preload (5.7 inches of travel).

Braking: Single 310mm front disc and 240mm rear disc; standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

Wheels/Tires: Scrambler-style 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels fitted with multi-purpose Dunlop Mixtour tires.

Seat Height: Accessible 31.1-inch seat height with a narrow design for an easy reach to the ground.

Curb Weight: Lightweight 425-pound total weight, including all standard equipment and a full 3.2-gallon tank of fuel.

Staff Expert Tip: The SCL500 shares its engine with the legendary Rebel 500, but it’s tuned for more low-end grunt. This makes it a blast for navigating the stop-and-go lights in Gloversville or climbing the steeper grades near Caroga Lake.

What makes the SCL500 different from a standard street bike? The “Scrambler” DNA means it has more ground clearance (6.1 inches) and a larger 19-inch front wheel. This setup is specifically designed to give you more stability and comfort when the pavement ends or when riding through the rougher rural roads of Fulton County.

Is the SCL500 a good bike for two-up riding? Yes, the SCL500 features a long, flat bench seat that provides plenty of room for a passenger. Combined with the upright riding position and mid-mounted footpegs, it’s one of the most comfortable bikes in its class for sharing a ride through the Adirondack foothills.
