I just went and checked to make sure my memory was correct. The old CB550 Four had an inline four with 544 cc., weighed 437 pounds dry, and produced 38 HP whereas this new CB500 is a parallel twin with 471 cc., weighs 393 pounds dry, and produces 47 HP.
The CB500 twin produced from 1993-2003 (which I wasn't even aware of or had forgotten about) had 499 cc, weighed only 381 pounds dry, and produced 57 HP, so it would appear to be the hottest of these three. And I like the looks of it too.
