Description
That set of twisties ahead? Own them. All of them. Own every late turn-in point, apex, and corner exit. The CBR500R is LAMS approved – but also every square millimeter a CBR. Aggressive styling and new graphics combine with the twin-cylinder engine that spins hard at your command and upgraded suspension and brakes that will fill you with confidence. If you’re ready to step up to the real race-bred performance, the adrenaline rush starts here.
New Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks separate damping from spring and give a supple response, especially braking from the speed with a fingertip feel for front tyre grip. New lightweight wheels and swingarm – plus more forward-set weight bias – sharpen handling even further. The free-spinning parallel twin-cylinder engine produces 35kW @ 8,600rpm with a peak torque of 43Nm @ 6,500rpm. Complete with a thrilling howl through the exhaust as you chase redline.
