Re: Tell me more about this 500af
For now, here is some pics.
Looks to me like it is a very handy way to change your air filter without having to remove the seat.

Re: Tell me more about this 500af
This bike looks like a 2009 from the pics.
Here is a link to Service Honda's website
http://www.servicehonda.com/honda-2010- ... onda-500af
Here is some specs:
A bike becomes a legend by dominating the competition in every motocross and off road situation. The Service Honda 500AF adds another chapter to the legend that is the Service Honda 500AF.
The 500AF utilizes a 4th generation chassis, refined suspension and an aggressive look. The 500AF combines the fierce power of the CR500 engine and the advanced features of the latest chassis resulting in the most powerful and versatile off road motorcycle today.
The 500AF’s unique combination of unequaled power, nimble handling, stability and durability makes it ideally suited to a wide variety of riding conditions. Roosting your buddies in the dunes, blasting through the desert, cutting through challenging trails or punishing berms at the local motocross track, the 500AF performs flawlessly in all conditions.
Many areas require the use of spark arrestor silencers that are noise emission certified. These silencers are available as an option. Unique to the motorcycle world, the easy to control power of the 500AF is undiminished by these regulatory requirements.
The 500AF is not only functionally superior, it is also downright stunning with slim bodywork accenting the massive cylinder. Throw in anodized black rims and rear sprocket and the 500AF is not only pretty looking, it is pretty mean looking.
The 500AF is available with numerous options including cylinder porting, suspension and many others. We can custom build the bike to fit your specific needs, all with the quality you expect from Service Honda. The price of this very special motorcycle is only $10,999
New for 2010
New blue silicone coolant hoses molded specifically for the 500AF increase durability, provide improved fit, and enhance visual appeal.
Reshaped works-style 240mm front brake rotor is 1.3 ounces lighter. Front disk guard is smaller, lighter and vented.
New 240mm rear brake rotor features works-style pattern and is 1.0 once lighter. New plastic disc guard saves 4 grams of weight.
New handgrip is 3mm longer.
Exclusive 500AF Features
Bike can be custom built to your specifications prior to delivery.
The quality, reliability, fit, and finish you expect from Service Honda.
Slim design combined with minimal bodywork to emphasize the beautiful frame and powerful engine.
Custom suspension using the latest technology tuned, specifically for you and your riding style is available as an option.
Fourth generation twin spar aluminum frame and swingarm offers optimal balance of rigidity and strength for lighter, easier handling in widely varying riding conditions. The forged aluminum steering head and tapered downtube section are optimized for frame rigidity. Tall swingarm pivot plates and thin frame spars create a narrow overall frame cross section for superb rider comfort and maneuverability.
Frame is matched to rider ergonomics to maximize handling and control operation.
Semi-double cradle frame design features a single large diameter tapered down tube. Two rugged box section billet rails attach to the base of the downtube and support the powerful engine. A forged aluminum steering head provides a compact and extremely durable mount for the frame spars and engine downtube.
Compact damper attached to the lower triple clamp and the steering head allows more aggresive steering characteristics and assists in straight line stability. Damping action smoothly progresses as handlebar deflection increases, wich produces very natural steering characteristics and feel.
Front and rear wheels feature HRC works-type lightweight-aluminum spoke nipples.
Revised, sophisiticated INverted Twin-Chamber Cartridge Fork.
Front wheel features large-diameter front axel and wide wheel bearing span for excellent rigidity.
Large25 mm rear axel diameter and large diameter bearings provide significant rigidity.
Rrear shock with revised internal design and valving for better bump absorption.
Large 50mm diameter rear shock damper piston for consistent damping.
Unique Features
Gas tank capacity is 1.9 gallons
Optional FMF Q-series or Pro Circuit 296 series silencer can meet current noise emission standards.
Easy access air filter.
Additional Features

Washable two stage air filter for optimal engine protection and easy maintenance.
Comfortable, durable controls and high-quality fasteners.
Stainless steel clutch cable for long life.
Removable rear sub-frame allows easy maintenance.
Front disc brake cover helps protect rotor and caliper from damage.
Chain guide material offers improved wear resistance, and service life is 5 times greater thantraditional materials.
Quick-adjust clutch perch
Adjustable front brake lever.
Works-type handlebar grips add to rider comfort.
Handlebar holders provide +/- 3 mm for or aft position to match rider preference.
Aluminum Renthal handlebar (971 bend) is rubber-mounted to reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort.
Dunlop D742FA front and D756 rear tires for good traction and cornering.
Wide, cleated stainless steel footpegs are self-cleaning, resist corrosion, provide excellent grip and fold for extra ground clearance.
Rear brake pedal and shift lever are made of lightweight aluminum and are designed to complement the riding position. Brake pedal features optimized ratio to match integrated rear-brake master cylinder design.
“Non slip” seat cover for increased rider control.
Seat cushion uses foam construction that follows the shape of the fuel tank , providing a smooth transition to increase rider mobility and comfort
Rider ergonomics are optimized by adapting the handlebar, seat and footpeg height to place the riders legs at the narrowest cross-section of the frame for improved comfort and handling feel.
All plastic body components (radiator shroud, side covers, rear fender, seat base, fuel tank, front fender, and front number plate) are designed to offer the slim, aggressive styling and light weight.
