    Honda CBR500R Summary

    Honda CBR500R is expected to launch in India in April 2026 in the expected price range of ₹ 4,45,000 to ₹ 5,09,999. Currently available bikes which are similar to CBR500R are Aprilia RS 457, Kawasaki Ninja 500 & Aprilia Tuono 457. Another bike similar to CBR500R is TVS Tangent RR which is launching in November 2027 in India.



    Honda has launched the 2013 Honda CBR500R during the recently held EICMA event at Milan, Italy. The CBR500R is part of the new Honda 500cc trio which includes the CB500X and CB500F. This motorcycle is the fully-faired version of the CB500F.



    The CBR500R is powered by the same 500cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine that also powers the 2013 Honda CB500F and 2013 Honda CB500X.The motorcycle also features Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and produces 47bhp and 43Nm. The front suspension has a 41mm fork with 4.8 inches of travel whereas the rear suspension is a Pro-Link single shock with nine-position spring preload adjustability.



    The CBR500R is for someone who is looking for an entry level middle weight motorcycle. The bike looks very sporty and offers a riding position that is not too aggressive. The CBR500R is priced at £4,950 (Rs 4.40 lakhs INR) in the UK market and we can expect it in the same price range if Honda plans to get the bike in India through completely-knocked-down (CKD) route. We are expecting the bike to make its first official presence in India at the 2014 Auto Expo.

      Honda is already late to this segment, but if they drop this, I will buy it on the first day , but I don't think they will drop it in India cause of the recent bs6 norms, plus heavy tax is also an issue.

      The Honda CBR500R is a well-balanced sportbike that offers smooth, easy-to-control performance with its 471 cc engine, making it ideal for beginners and daily riders. It looks sporty but has comfortable ergonomics, good handling, ABS, and Honda’s strong reliability, along with decent fuel efficiency and reasonable maintenance costs. However, it is not very powerful for its class, feels slightly heavy, and lacks advanced electronics, so it may not satisfy riders looking for aggressive speed or track-focused performance. Overall, it’s best suited for riders who want a practical, stylish, and stress-free sportbike rather than a hardcore performance machine.

      The dual disc in front section will show better. .it will give more powerful looks and a brake system. Slipper clutch and driving modes will enhance the power of bike. This bike's colour variant should be more.
