Honda CBR500R (2024)

CBR. Three very special letters with a momentous history. Drawing heavily on the Fireblade for its design – with new paint and graphics straight out of pit lane – the CBR500R wears the same aerodynamic winglets for stability on corner entry and razor-sharp high-speed agility. From the aggressively redesigned headlights, which throw out a broad, penetrating beam for safer cornering at night, and sculpted-for-speed fairing right back to the tightly wrapped seat unit, this is a sporting benchmark.

Features

• DOHC twin-cylinder engine
• Stainless steel exhaust
  • The polished stainless-steel exhaust seamlessly integrates with the rear footpeg mount, optimizing mass centralization and elevating handling prowess. This is what we call functional aesthetics.
• Programmed fuel injection
  • The PGM-FI system adjusts fuel levels based on parameters like temperature, elevation, throttle position, and riding style to increase power and torque across the RPM range and improve throttle response.
• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
  • Our Anti-Lock Braking System comes standard, providing assured stopping power and added confidence in challenging conditions, such as wet roads or loose gravel.
• Disc brakes
  • Twin 296mm front discs with four-piston radial-mount calipers offer strong, predictable stopping power. The front brake lever is adjustable for a perfect fit.
• Showa Big Piston fork
  • The 41mm inverted Showa® Separate Function Fork—Big Piston (SFF-BP) front end enhances the bike’s rigidity and provides more precise steering input and feedback.
• Pro-Link® rear suspension
  • Our Pro-Link® rear suspension features a nine-stage adjustable preload shock and 4.7 inches of travel, providing amble comfort and agile handling.
• Steel-tube frame
  • The diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe is seamlessly connected to the engine through four mounts and provides a rock-solid foundation for an unrivaled ride and handling experience.
• Lightweight swingarm
  • The swingarm, utilized across the entire Honda 500 lineup, is nearly two pounds lighter and stronger than the previous version. This is one reason for the exceptional handling.
• Cast wheels
  • The lightweight, multi-spoke, cast aluminum wheels are designed to improve handling and fit various sticky street tires. Plus, they are easy to clean and just plain look good.
• Slipper clutch
  • Born from Honda’s racing pedigree, the slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems and automatically locks up tight upon release, reducing rear-wheel hop under hard deceleration.
• Smooth transmission
  • Our engineers profiled the transmission shift dogs to help you change gears with reduced effort every time. While you’ll likely never see these parts, you’ll undoubtedly feel their effects.
• Supersport styling
  • The stylish design of the fairing does far more than just look good – it ensures superior air management to optimize rider comfort, cooling, and aerodynamic efficiency.
• Step-up seat
  • A two-piece seat with a dual-level design accommodates various riders and passengers, making it perfect for urban streets and winding roads.
• Large TFT display
  • A large Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display is bright and easy to read and features a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, and more.
• LED headlights
