2021 Honda® CBR500R ABS

A SPORT FOR ALL SEASONS

Is it any wonder why the Honda CBR500R is one of our most popular sportbikes? It just gets so many things right. Price. Power. Weight. Handling. Its twin-cylinder engine revs freely and produces plenty of torque, and it lets us keep the bike narrow and nimble too. The full-coverage bodywork looks like something right off the racetrack. Best of all, it’s a bike you can start out on and never have to trade up. Plus, for 2021, every CBR500R comes with anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard equipment. And there’s a tasty new Pearl White color scheme this year too.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CBR500R’s engine is one of our best ever. With good low-end horsepower and torque, the parallel-twin offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.

STYLE

SUPERSPORT STYLING

The CBR500R’s aggressive styling comes with two great color options (including a striking new Pearl White), that keeps it right at the front of the pack in terms of eye-appeal. The aerodynamic bodywork also provides significant advantages in air management for added rider comfort, along with a low drag coefficient and effective cooling.

ENGINEERING

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Now standard equipment on every 2021 CBR500R, anti-lock brakes (ABS) helps you make confident stops under less-than-ideal conditions.

HANDLING

STEEL-TUBE FRAME

A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. Strong and light, the CBR500R’s diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
