The new 2024 CBR500R is here!!
For 2024, the CBR500R receives a handful of updates. Topping that list is the new CBR1000RR-R-inspired bodywork, which gives the bike a totally up-to-date look and one that ties into the current CBR family perfectly. Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (traction control) is now standard, while the ECU received new settings to improve “acceleration feel.” In the cockpit is a brand-new 5-inch full-color TFT display that also offers Bluetooth connectivity for smartphones with Honda’s RoadSync app. Additionally, the headlight has been upgraded with an LED unit.
The CBR’s engine is a liquid-cooled parallel twin with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. It utilizes Honda’s PGM-FI fuel injection system. Chassis highlights include the Showa 41mm inverted Separate Function Fork Big Piston fork (SFF-BP) with 4.7 inches of travel and a Showa monoshock out back that has provisions for five steps of preload adjustment.
A low 31.1-inch seat height ensures that a large range of riders will be able to firmly get their feet on the ground at stops, while the light 421-pound (fully fueled) weight makes the bike very manageable.
The best sportbikes are light, aerodynamic, and fast handling. All of which describe our CBR500R ABS perfectly. What you have here is a machine designed to embrace the best of sportbike riding, and one that’s a screaming bargain too. Light, nimble, and narrow as only a twin can be, the engine loves to rev and offers tons of torque. The full-coverage bodywork with new aerodynamic updates looks like something right off the racetrack. Anti-lock brakes are a standard feature, and so is some pretty impressive fuel efficiency. This year you’ll enjoy a new Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display that’s bright and easy to read. But in the end, what you’ll love most about this 500cc sport bike is just how much fun it is, especially when the roads get twisty.
