Everything can be learned, everything is discovered. The sports school has a multitude of faces; at Honda, it is the CBR 500 R that opens this door. Discovery or initiation? A sketch on several levels. The first will quickly get you excited, with this sharp line like a supersport. But what would this half a mile hold once the ignition and the first were on? ?
The reason, under a CBR visa. These sulphurous letters will soon scold the holders of the A2 permit. Because it is indeed them that it aims, with a twin as powerful as decorum allows it. Passion? No. Placidity? No more. The answer ! A sensible desires that will find the beginning of the satiated with its 47.5 horses that the CBR accepts at 8,600 rpm. Since the one before, the maximum power does not change. But Honda has worked on the strength of the twin so that it gives more (4%) between 3,000 and 7,000 rpm. For this, the bulk of the work involved a new timing of the distribution and an improvement of the air intake..
Asking him for gniak at the top of the tachometer will only be justified on the pursuits between Cubs. Moments of joviality where the shiftlight really takes on its meaning. It is adjustable from 5,000 to 8,570 revs in steps of 250 revs. The manufacturer finally incorporates a gear indicator engaged while the clutch shows pledges of convenience with an assisted sliding system. The exhaust is also revisited to give a more exhilarating sound.
The ex-CBR 500 was already sharp in its lines. The transition to this new opus is not as transcendent as on other generations. This does not prevent appreciating its stylistic evolution towards imminence with the CBR 1000 RR. The engine guard has taken a little length, the gaze of the menace, the flashes of the LEDs. The driving position takes a more marked course, approaching the spirit surrounding this bike. Like the CBR 650 R which wants to be sportier than the F preceding it, this little sister compared the pilot towards more support to the piloting: the handlebars now fixed under the triple clamp switch the position of 8 ° towards the before. Not yet radical; just enough to feel a more pronounced pressure and better grip the front end.
This one has not changed. Still entrusted to a standard 41mm fork holding a 320mm brake disc clamped by a double piston caliper. Tubular steel frame also identical, tire mounted itou, wheelbase unchanged, saddle height slightly reduced by 5 mm … Where we note some changes, it is at the level of the shock absorber – announced more efficient -; in weight, lowered by 2 kilograms; and the dashboard. The instrumentation on a blue background is less bland than the old one. It looks familiar to you … maybe you’ve seen it on the CB 500 X and F, or on the CB 650 R and CBR 650 R!?! The family happily shares it.
You just had the license in your pocket … well done. Now, what to choose, because the offer has grown. The preview of the sport can be appreciated today in Kawasaki Ninja 400, KTM RC 390, Benelli Tornado 302 or Yamaha R3. If the winged crest appeals to you and you praise the Honda facility, the CBR 500 R will take a nice place in this list..
