2019 Honda CBR500R on sale
Racier riding position and improved aero for sports tourerThe brief for the 2019 version of Honda’s CBR500R was to improve the looks, riding position and mid-range acceleration of the LAMS-approved sports tourer.
The seat design has been slimmed down to improve movement on the machine, though the height is still a low 785mm.
The fairing panels have been redesigned to improve aesthetics and aerodynamics, with Honda saying the “straight, wedge-like feature lines and extended lower fairings emphasise a real sense of speed”.

Attention on the mechanicals focused on a boost in power and torque from 3000-7000rpm, It is matched to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch to smooth out the shifts, while a gear position sign in the LCD instrument cluster also incorporates a “shift up” warning.
The indicators have also joined the rest of the lighting in adopting LED globes.
Honda’s CBR500R is on sale in red, white and grey, priced from $7999.
