DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE WITH PGM-FI

Honda twins are famous for their versatility and the CBR500R’s engine is one of our best ever. With good low-end horsepower and torque, the parallel-twin offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges. The CBR500Rs learner friendly, 8-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder layout offers a well-proportioned balance of physical size and willing, enjoyable power output, with an energetic, high-revving character and zappy top end. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions, ensuring a crisp throttle response throughout a wide variety of riding. Programmed fuel injectors increase power and torque in the midrange.

STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST

With a dual-outlet muffler that you need to hear for yourself, this beautifully polished stainless-steel exhaust is integrated with the rear foot peg set for clean, functional design. The exhaust tucks in tight for better mass centralization (and consequently better handling).

SMOOTH TRANSMISSION

Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.

DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION

An LCD screen features a digital speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.

LED LIGHTING

The CBR500R sports a pair of powerful LED headlights and LED indicators. They headlights throw out an amazing amount of illumination and feature a stylish shape. The design also increases the engine’s intake airflow.
