2023 Honda® CBR500R

YOUR SPORT. YOUR BIKE.

Sportbikes don’t have to cost five figures. At least not when you’re talking about a 2023 Honda CBR500R. Its twin-cylinder engine revs freely and produces plenty of torque, and it lets us keep the bike narrow and nimble too. The full-coverage bodywork looks like something right off the racetrack, and the suspension is top notch. Anti-lock brakes are standard, and so is some pretty impressive fuel efficiency. Best of all, the CBR500R is just plain fun to ride, whether you’re using it around town or carving up the canyons on the weekends.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CBR500R’s engine is one of our best. With good low-end horsepower and torque, the parallel twin offers accessible performance across a wide RPM range.

STYLE

SUPERSPORT STYLING

The CBR500R’s aggressive styling comes with two great color options (Grand Prix Red and Sword Silver Metallic), that keep it right at the front of the pack in terms of eye-appeal. The aerodynamic bodywork also provides significant advantages in air management for added rider comfort, along with a low drag coefficient and effective cooling.

ENGINEERING

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Standard equipment on every 2023 CBR500R, anti-lock brakes (ABS) help you make confident stops under less-than-ideal conditions.

HANDLING

STEEL-TUBE FRAME

A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. The CBR500R’s diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe connects to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
