2015 Honda CBR®500R

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

• Available ABS on the CBR500R helps you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal conditions.

Cast Wheels

• Strong and stylish, the CBR500R’s aluminum 12-spoke cast wheels are easy to keep clean, look great and are another feature that just makes sense.

Digital Instrumentation

• A full 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.

Disc Brakes

• The front 320mm wave-style disc brake and 240mm rear provide strong stopping power.

DOHC Twin-Cylinder Engine

• Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CBR500R engine is one of our best ever. Using the same piston bore size as our CBR600RR sportbike, the parallel-twin engine offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.

Halogen Headlights

• Twin 55-watt H7 halogen headlights and multi-facet reflectors on the CBR500R give the front end a unique look and also project plenty of light on the road for visibility.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

• 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.

Pro-Link Rear Suspension

• A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link rear suspension, nine-stage preload and 4.7 travel gives you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.

Rear Grips

• Sturdy rear passenger grips offer a firm handhold for your passenger or tie-down points for smaller items.

Stainless Steel Exhaust

• Beautifully polished stainless steel exhaust is integrated with the rear footpeg set for clean, functional design.

Steel-Tube Frame

• A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. A take on a classic construction, the CBR500R’s diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.

Step Seat

• The CBR500R offers a stepped two-piece seat with a low height. Perfect for around-town riding or winding roads, it also offers plenty of room for a passenger and is specially designed to fit a wide range of riders.

Supersport Styling

• This aerodynamic bodywork also provides significant advantages in air management for added rider comfort, along with a low drag coefficient and effective cooling.
