2017 Honda® CBR500R ABS

2017 Honda® CBR® 500R ABS

Features may include:

• Optimum power characteristics

The DOHC liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine uses a square bore & stroke of 67 mm x 66.8 mm for an optimum combination of strong low-end torque and horsepower and excellent top-end performance.The 67 mm bore size is the same as used on the CBR®600RR.

• Smooth and compact

Engine vibration is kept to a minimum by using crank pins phased at 180 degrees and a balancer shaft behind the cylinders, which also contributes to the engine’s compact size.

• Crisp throttle response

PGM-FI electronic fuel injection keeps the engine running efficiently in all conditions and ensures crisp throttle response.

• Small & lightweight water pump

Careful flow analysis of the cooling system resulted in a water pump that’s small and lightweight, yet still more than capable of keeping the engine running its best at high output levels.

• Maximized flow efficiency

In order to maximize air-intake and exhaust efficiency, the path from the air cleaner through the intake ports to the exhaust pipe was made as straight as possible.

• "Excellent response & feedback"

The lightweight diamond-shaped steel frame was designed to allow a certain degree of yield, which enables it to better respond to changes in the road surface and to transmit just the right amount of feedback to the rider.

• Comfortable & sporty ride

The Pro-Link rear suspension with preload-adjustable shock and the 41 mm fork - with the addition of preload adjustability - are calibrated for a comfortable but sporty ride.

• Easily balanced at stops

The rear section of the frame was designed to facilitate a seat height of 785 mm, which allows most riders to easily plant their feet on the ground when stopped.

• Excellent manoeuvrability

Lightweight cast aluminum wheels with Y-shaped spokes not only look trick, they also contribute to the bike’s excellent manoeuvrability.

• Sleek bodywork

The CBR®500R’s racy fairing and rear section incorporate a pair of bright and distinctive LED headlights and an LED taillight.

• Improved airflow

Strategically placed vents and ducts in the front cowl and side panels improve rider comfort and protection while also aiding high- speed handling.

• Long-distance comfort

Ergonomics were carefully configured to ensure an unrestricted riding position that allows easy manoeuvring in town, an easy reach to the ground, as well as excellent comfort during long-distance highway trips.

• Excellent range & fuel efficiency

While the fuel tank on the CBR®500R looks sleek and sporty, its larger capacity, combined with the engine’s fuel-efficient performance, allow you to ride long and far between gas stops.
