That's a CBF500. I'm guessing now it was never sold in the US.
It's what honda did between the old CB500 and the CB500F
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBF500
They are very similar bikes in terms of handling, but the CB500F is tuned down from 56hp from the CBF to 47hp (at least in Europe), as that is the maximum power you are allowed to ride with an A2 license (which is all you can get during your first two years as a rider). I guess less power means also less emissions, so that could be another reason.
What I don't understand is: What do regulations have to do with the new insect look?
