CBR500R
MIDDLEWEIGHT. NOT MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
Some people are hungry for the ride, whether it’s a tight canyon full of twisties or just a day in
the sun. For them, we built the Honda CBR®500R. Sure, it’s a great bike for new riders. But it’s
also perfect for anyone who wants the manageable size and fun of a midsize bike. Featuring fullcoverage bodywork inspired by the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR, it’s powered by a 471cc paralleltwin engine with Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). Anti-lock brakes are an available option.
Performance and stellar Honda quality are standard, all at a price point that’s a tremendous value.
