Honda CBR500R 2018

Honda CBR500R 2018

The new CBR500R ranks directly below the popular CBR600RR super sports bike in the model segment of the Honda CBR family, at least in terms of displacement, and thus has high expectations to meet. However, it solves this task with flying colours and carries the model designation worthily into the entry-level segment. Especially with its captivating looks, defined by the use of LED technology, there is no need to hide with this motorbike. The improved engine is now even more fun to ride, as the sound has also improved considerably thanks to the new rear silencer. When racing, you should choose the right track due to the limited top speed, but it still remains very stable in every situation.

It's a good bike, but if you're not quite as strong, the 350 has many more advantages and almost no disadvantages off-road. So ladies, keep an eye out for 500cc riders in the paddock. These are men whose shoulders you can safely lean on and who can probably protect you from a grizzly bear.

Relatively much power

"sloppy" driving possible

light handling-.

A little more weight.
