It’s not just the engine
As you would expect with a sports bike, it features super-lightweight frame and wheels. Mass centralisation also adds to the light feel of the bike and superb handling. At 790mm, the seat height is designed to ensure riders of all sizes can achieve a naturally comfortable riding position
A sense of connection
The 41mm diameter forks combined with 9-stage adjustable pro-link rear shock give the rider a good sense of connection with the road.
Confident braking
ABS brakes increase stopping performance and confidence, while the heat-dissipating wave discs at the front and rear complete the sporty look.
Keeping cool
The front cowl, side covers and lower-cowl catalyser cover form the sleek fairing. Stylish, aerodynamic, and functional, it directs air downwards to cool the engine, taking heat away to the rear of the machine, increasing comfort.
More kit
Extend that sport bike style by adding a few little extras to the CBR500R.
Make a start with a rear seat cowl, which turns the bike instantly into a more focused single-seat machine. If you’re using it in town, add a tank bag, where you can stow some waterproofs or slip in a street map. Whatever you want for your sports bike, it has to look right and fit properly. Only Honda Genuine Accessories are designed to complement the lines of the bike, giving you a much better result.
