Buyer's Guide > CBR500R
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
As with the other Honda 500 twins, the sportier CBR500R gets a mild upgrade, with sleeker LED headlights, a new muffler, adjustable brake lever, a preload-adjustable fork, and a hinged gas cap. An ABS model is also available. Although all 500s boast increased fuel capacity for 2016, the increase is a negligible 0.2 litres.
