10 Naked Bikes Under 500 Lbs You Can Flat Foot After 50

Getting back into motorcycles after 50 means one thing matters more than horsepower: can you actually handle the bike at a stop, in a parking lot, backing out of your driveway? We went through nearly every naked and standard motorcycle sold in the US right now — weighed each one, checked the seat height, priced them out — and narrowed it down to the 10 that actually make sense once you're past fifty. This isn't a horsepower list. It's ranked purely by weight, from a 454-pound twin all the way down to a 316-pound single, with real US pricing and honest tradeoffs on every single one — including the dealer-network drawbacks nobody talks about. And we saved one bike for the very end that balances everything on this list better than the other ten combined. Bikes covered, ranked heaviest to lightest: CFMOTO 650NK — 454 lbs, $6,499 Honda CB500 Hornet — 414 lbs, $6,499 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 — 399 lbs, $4,299 Triumph Speed 400 — 395 lbs, $5,295 Yamaha MT-03 — 373 lbs, $5,649 CFMOTO 450NK — 364 lbs, $5,399 KTM 390 Duke — 364 lbs, $6,499 BMW G 310 R — 349 lbs, $4,995 CFMOTO 300NK — 333 lbs, $4,199 Honda CB300R — 316 lbs, $5,099 BONUS — the bike that beats them all: Kawasaki Z500 — 366 lbs, $5,699 If you're shopping this segment, start with the Z500 and work backward from there based on what you're willing to trade off.
