Motorcycle tire fitting for Honda cb500 1973?

Answer:

Your bike is not on the list simply due to it's age. There is nothing pre-80 on that list. It seems to be the correct size to me, and you are sure it is. It has a load rating of 54 (467lbs/212kg) and a speed rating P (94mph max). Given all that. the answer is yes, it will work.
FYI I've run that tire on an old CB750 and I wasn't impressed with how it held up. I now use Bridgestone BattleAx on my older bikes. If you search you can find H-rated at about the price of your link.
Looks like right size. As for not mentioning cycle, common enough to give short lists of examples but not mentioning every one- save paper. K70 or any ribbed or blocked small trials will fit- you note it is a tubed tire? that was normal your vintage.
