OVERVIEW
CBR500R
The CBR500R boldly redefines the middleweight class and opens up a completely new category. You only need a learner's license with this beast, but it won't stop fully licensed riders calling her a beauty all the same.
Honda is leading the charge with this liquid cooled, fuel injected, parallel twin high performer. Reliable, efficient and undeniably fun to ride, this commuter has a clear sporting heritage behind it. Although narrow and lightweight, it's low riding position and lower seat height gives a genuine big-bike feel. Other must-mentions are its light clutch and quiet sound. With good-looking full-fairings like its bigger brothers, you won't need to trade it up for a long while yet.
