Since its 2013 launch, Honda's fully faired CBR500R has been proven itself a standout option for riders looking to move up from a smaller machine, instilling the excitement of sports bike ownership into every ride while also delivering sensible running costs, making it a great bike for both commuting and enjoying the weekend. It has also found favour with experienced riders looking to downsize while still preserving the essence of motorcycling. For this year, the CBR500R has aggressive new styling that heralds a long list of performance improvements that strengthen the sports bike's appeal.
