With its striking blue finish and classic lines, this bike effortlessly blends retro charm with contemporary performance, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to make their mark on the asphalt. At the heart of the Caballero 500 lies a potent 449cc engine that delivers a thrilling 40 horsepower at 7,500 RPM and a robust torque of 43 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerhouse is paired with a slick 6-speed gearbox, ensuring that riders experience a seamless connection between the throttle and the road.

The robust CrMo steel central-tube frame ensures stability while the 41mm upside-down front suspension and adjustable rear damping provide a plush ride over various terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring ABS-equipped single discs at both the front (320 mm) and rear (230 mm) for confident stopping power. Riders will appreciate the comfortable seat height of 820 mm, which lends itself to a broad range of rider heights. Plus, the electric starter adds a touch of modern convenience, ensuring you’re ready to ride at a moment's notice. **
