2021 Honda CBR500R

Is it any wonder why the Honda CBR500R is one of our most popular sportbikes? It just gets so many things right. Price. Power. Weight. Handling. 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. Best of all, its a bike you can start out on and never have to trade up. Plus, for 2021, every CBR500R comes with anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard equipment. And theres a tasty new Pearl White color scheme this year too.

Features may include:

• DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CBR500Rs engine is one of our best ever. With good low-end horsepower and torque, the parallel-twin offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.

• SUPERSPORT STYLING

The CBR500Rs aggressive styling comes with two great color options (including a striking new Pearl White), that keeps 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.

• ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Now standard equipment on every 2021 CBR500R, anti-lock brakes (ABS) helps you make confident stops under less-than-ideal conditions.

• STEEL-TUBE FRAME

A motorcycles frame is the basis for its handling. Strong and light, the CBR500Rs diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
