While pricing is yet to be announced, the 471cc parallel-twin platform will prove popular with learner riders and commuters, with each bike offering a different experience.
Each bike in the range gets redesigned wheels, new adjustable 41mm Showa SFF-BP forks and an optimised and adjustable shock, as well as new brake discs, a redesigned swingarm and updated fuel injection settings.
For the CBR500R sportsbike and the CB500F naked machine, geometry has also been changed to place more weight over the front wheel for improved agility and front-end grip. The CB500X adventure tourer, meanwhile, maintains its upright touring stance.
All three bikes have been visually overhauled too, with new graphics and styling to appeal to younger riders.
