Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR500R 2018

Honda CBR500R 2018

The new CBR500R ranks directly below the popular CBR600RR super sports bike in the model segment of the Honda CBR family, at least in terms of displacement, and thus has high expectations to meet. However, it solves this task with flying colours and carries the model designation worthily into the entry-level segment. Especially with its captivating looks, defined by the use of LED technology, there is no need to hide with this motorbike. The improved engine is now even more fun to ride, as the sound has also improved considerably thanks to the new rear silencer. When racing, you should choose the right track due to the limited top speed, but it still remains very stable in every situation.

For the fact that Honda has actually only announced an update, hardly a stone has been left unturned on the new Fire Blade. Some of the new features are of course due to the new EURO standard, but many of them are really aimed at improving drivability. I am very pleased that, especially in times like these, when more and more manufacturers are withdrawing from the high-performance and expensive superbike segment, Honda is once again devoting its full development power to improving what is already good and thus demonstrating what is technically feasible. Because even if these bikes are no longer affordable for many of us, they still demonstrate the know-how or the technical possibilities. And over time, these will also find their way into the 0-8-15 bikes from which the majority of motorcyclists will then also benefit.

Improved seating position

Rideability very good

Powerful engine

Throttle split gives the rider a lot of confidence

Chassis also suitable for the racetrack in automatic mode
