The 2026 China International Motorcycle Expo (CIMAMotor) in Chongqing just became Honda's biggest stage of the year. On the opening day, Honda lifted the covers on three headline models: the CB500 Super Four Classic Edition in a stunning Jazz Blue livery, and limited-run NSS350 and ADV350 scooters dressed in exclusive Midnight Black with traditional Chinese design cues. Here's everything riders need to know — and why these bikes signal where motorcycle cockpit tech is heading.
1Honda CB500 Super Four Classic Edition — The Inline-Four Legend Returns in Jazz Blue
CB500 SUPER FOUR · Classic Edition Jazz Blue
The four-cylinder dream that made the CB400 Super Four a legend is back — and this time it wears a layered deep-sea metallic blue with crisp blue-white striping and gold wheels. It's the most nostalgic colorway in the lineup, a direct tribute to the classic CB400SF.
- ⚙️ Engine: 502cc liquid-cooled inline-four, 52.8 kW (71.8 hp) @ 11,000 rpm, 47.1 N·m @ 10,000 rpm — that signature dense four-cylinder howl is intact
- 🎛️ Electronics: 2nd-gen Honda E-Clutch + throttle-by-wire (auto downshift blips), 5 riding modes, dual-channel ABS + HSTC traction control
- 🛞 Chassis: KYB 41mm inverted fork, Pro-Link monoshock, Nissin radial 4-piston calipers, 188 kg wet weight, 780 mm seat height
- 🖥️ Cockpit: 5-inch full-color TFT dash with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity
Industry watchers note the CB500SF — co-developed by Wuyang-Honda — is already trickling into Southeast Asia via grey imports, positioning it as a genuinely global mid-size retro streetfighter. At this price with an electronic clutch and a real inline-four, it's shaking up the retro market.
2Honda NSS350 Limited Edition
NSS350 · Limited Edition Midnight Black
Inspired by traditional Chinese art with a "red dragon" motif, the NSS350 Limited pairs an all-black body with exclusive wheel finish and a custom 3D emblem. Mechanically identical to the 2026 Special Edition — no price premium, and existing purchase incentives still stack.
- ⚙️ Engine: 330cc eSP+ liquid-cooled single, 21.6 kW / 31.8 N·m, CVT, ~3.36 L/100km WLTC
- 🛋️ Comfort: 180mm electric adjustable windscreen, 48L under-seat storage (two full-face helmets), keyless start, USB-C charging
- 📡 Tech: Upgraded 7-inch TFT Chinese-language dash with Honda RoadSync (nav projection, calls, music), six-level heated grips, TPMS tire-pressure monitoring
3Honda ADV350 Limited Edition
ADV350 · Limited Edition Midnight Black
The adventure-scooter crossover gets a bold national-flag-inspired decal design on the same stealth-black body, with multi-color mirrored rims that change character as the light moves. Same price as the Special Edition.
- 🔧 Hardware: 5-position adjustable windscreen, dual disc brakes, dual-channel ABS + HSTC
- 📱 Smart features: 5-inch TFT display, Honda RoadSync connectivity, Honda Smart Key, full LED lighting
- 🎯 Attitude: The "cross-boundary edge, self-made style" positioning targets riders who want one bike for city commutes and weekend escapes

Our Take: Great Bikes, One Glaring Gap in the Cockpit
All three new Hondas ship with color TFT dashboards and Honda RoadSync connectivity — proof that smart cockpits are now mainstream, even on mid-displacement bikes. But here's what riders on forums are already complaining about: RoadSync is not wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It offers basic nav prompts and call alerts, but you can't run your full navigation, music, and messaging apps natively on the stock dash.
That's exactly the gap a dedicated motorcycle smart screen fills. A purpose-built 5-inch motorcycle CarPlay display — like the units we engineer at Tomostrong — adds wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, live GPS navigation, TPMS, dash-cam integration, and waterproof IP67 reliability on top of any bike, whether it's a brand-new CB500SF or a 10-year-old CB400. You get the factory look, plus the smartphone-level intelligence Honda's stock system doesn't deliver.
Riding a New Honda? Complete Your Cockpit.
The Tomostrong 5" Motorcycle CarPlay Smart Screen brings wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, GPS navigation, and IP67 weatherproofing to any motorcycle — a perfect companion for CB500SF, NSS350, and ADV350 riders who want more than stock RoadSync.

Does the Honda CB500SF support Apple CarPlay?
No. The CB500SF's 5-inch TFT dash supports Honda RoadSync, which provides basic notification and music controls — but not full Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Riders who want native CarPlay navigation typically add an aftermarket motorcycle CarPlay screen like the Tomostrong 5-inch unit.
