The best sportbikes are light, aerodynamic, and fast handling. All of which describe our CBR500R ABS perfectly. What you have here is a machine designed to embrace the best of sportbike riding, and one that’s a screaming bargain too. Light, nimble, and narrow as only a twin can be, the engine loves to rev and offers tons of torque. The full-coverage bodywork with new aerodynamic updates looks like something right off the racetrack. Anti-lock brakes are a standard feature, and so is some pretty impressive fuel efficiency. This year you’ll enjoy a new Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display that’s bright and easy to read. But in the end, what you’ll love most about this 500cc sport bike is just how much fun it is, especially when the roads get twisty.
