2025 Honda CBR500R ABS

Honda CBR500R Sport Motorcycle
The Honda CBR500R strikes a truly unique balance between performance and fun. Its parallel twin-cylinder CBR500R engine revs freely and produces plenty of torque, while also helping to keep the bike narrow and nimble too. Along with top-notch suspension and standard anti-lock brakes, the CBR500R is a bike made for riders who crave more. The 471 cc DOHC liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine uses a square bore & stroke of 67 mm x 66.8 mm for an optimum combination of strong low-rpm power and torque, adding up to excellent top-end performance. Not only does the assist slipper clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also reduces effort at the lever by almost half, helping to reduce rider fatigue particularly in city traffic or on long rides. The exhaust system features dual exit pipes resulting in improved exhaust flow, extra power and a sportier-sounding edge to the exhaust note. Engine vibration is kept to a minimum by using crank pins phased at 180 degrees and a balancer shaft behind the cylinders, which also contributes to the engines compact size. Engine vibration is kept to a minimum by using crank pins phased at 180 degrees and a balancer shaft behind the cylinders, which also contributes to the engines compact size. PGM-FI electronic fuel injection keeps the engine running efficiently in all conditions and ensures crisp throttle response. In order to maximize air-intake and exhaust efficiency, the profile from the air cleaner through the intake ports to the exhaust pipe was made as straight as possible, helped in part by repositioning the battery away from the rear of the airbox intake duct. The gear indicator and adjustable shift-up indicator make it even easier to use the smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox. The front fork features Showa 41mm Seperate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks -- the same found on the CBR650R. The rear suspension is now ~1kg lighter (compared to the previous generation), and provides more lateral flex and new settings to compliment the upgraded front. Additonally, the Pro-Link rear suspension boasts a single-tube shock absorber (as found on larger capacity sportbikes) with five-stage spring preload adjustment, replacing the double-tube design of the previous model. Its large-diameter piston helps to ensure excellent suspension response and improved heat dissipation. The shock connects to a rigid box-section steel swingarm with pressed-steel chain-adjustment end pieces. Both the shock and the adjustable 41 mm fork are calibrated for a comfortable but sporty ride. The 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height makes the CBR500R very easy to manage, and its riding position comfortably accommodates riders of any height. Lightweight cast aluminum wheels with Y-shaped spokes not only look great, they also contribute to the bikes excellent manoeuvrability. Plus tax and license.
