They call it a beginner's bike but it also does a great job for older guys who aren't interested in top power and adjustables anymore, but prefer a decent all-rounder for a relatively low price. I'm 58 and had more than 30 bikes, including a ZX9R, a 1400 Intruder and several K100s. I am not looking for more power than the CBR provides, and I don't feel the need to go 150+ km/h on highways anymore. I really enjoyed my 2015 CBR500R, it was fast enough, did all I wanted it to do and more, and I was surprised at the low fuel consumption, only 3,6L/100 km on average. It pulls strongly from above idle, has plenty of power in the mid range, and I actually like that it doesn't rev to 12,000 rpm but runs out of steam at 8,700 rpm.
I don't really like the looks of the new 500R, therefor the new F looks better than the old model, and I'd go for the F next time because of the more upright seating position which makes for better handling in the city.
What impressed me most is that the bike did everything well, right from the first time I got on it. Other bikes may have more power or are lighter, look better, offer more on paper, but may also have some weaknesses or drawbacks.
I also liked the position of the foot pegs which don't bend the joints too much which makes for a relaxed riding position. Compare this bike to another bike you're interested in on cycle-ergo.com/ - you may be surprised that bigger bikes may be more cramped than this one.
Thanks for sharing. I am 55 and want to resume riding after 30 yrs. Your description of life and bike are just like mine. Decision made - 500F!
I am 28 and I came to the conclusion that for a daily commuter bike for city and some freeway the 500f is more than enough to do the job. Plus the mpg’s are way better than 4 cylinder sport bikes and some v twins. Enjoy guys
This is why I'm subscribed to Visordown... I'm not in the market for this bike. But, the info is informative, fluently presented and engaging to watch. Pros and cons included without bias and when opinions are included, they're stated as opinions that are useful. Keep doing reviews like this!
This is one of the best and most beautiful reviews I've seen . you did an awesome job buddy I was planning on buying one of these bikes and wasn't sure about it then I saw this and I'm going to go get it. Thank you.
Finally a good unbiased review! Thanks!
If they're anything like the older cb500 twins they'll do everything reasonably well and last about a million miles.
They've got the cosmetics of both the bikes bang on.... personally i love naked street fighters and the CB500f is so tempting... well done Honda.
Awesome ,honest ,detailed review 🔥 subscribed👍🏾
Thanks for the sub!
Have a 2015 and really like it. The new models look really sharp, especially the led headlights. Nice job Honda. Will be upgrading to something a little more powerful and sporty in about a year and a half or so. Good review!
You need to use more compression and limiting on your voice overs as the levels are inconsistent.
Great looking bikes, I hope Honda applys the same styling to the bigger 600RR and Fireblade in the future.
600rr got discontinued.
Yea that thing is dead
Only in Europe and the UK will the CBR600RR no longer be available after 2016. Honda is still making it and it will be available everywhere else.
Thank you - an excellent review. It is a pity that the current CB 500 bikes specs are inferior to the specs of the 1993-2003 Honda CB 500 - 471 cc vs 499 cc, 47 bhp vs 57 bhp, 34 ft/lbs vs 35 ft-lbs and 194 kg vs 174kg.
Do these bikes also have identical transmission gear ratios and final drives?
Looking at going from a CFMoto 150-A Leader to the Honda CB500F. Naked to Naked, 150cc to 500cc, i think its a sensible jump, I'm holding off until i get my full license though but i doubt they'll update this bike again that soon.
test rode the cb500f yesterday and didn't really like the ergonomics of it. the area where your legs grip the bike just seemed too wide. maybe it's because I'm on the shorter side (5ft 5) but I much prefered the sv650 that I rode the same day. Also the sv is a good $1500 cheaper here in NZ.
I think i agree, THE have made THE tank bigger in compare of tegen previece model. , in rode.
I don't like iT eather.,
Keep iT smal
is this like the chef ramsy of motorcycles or something? lol
500f it is thanks!!! great review
Good review.
Is the handlebar adjustable on cbr?
i wonder if we could mount a windscreen on that cb500f and how it would look like. Havent seen anything like it yet.
Always Dark i have seen. Photo of the 500f with one on, looks nice, not as big s the x, and suits the rest of the bike quite well
Why they redesign the bike and don´t change that odd mirrors on the f?
What are the asbopovics like on it?
I love this bike cbr500r...it's look awesome...thumps for honda
Would the cb500f be a good first bike ??
Yes :D if you've had experience on any other bike before.
i had one, be carefull on fast bumpy corners it wont like them nor will you.
I cannot understand what your saying. clearer audio please
next time maybe less background music,
Anyone know the crankshaft configuration?
+TheMatteoStudios DOHC
+Rage Quit87 Crank, not cam.
+Rage Quit87
Uhh, no. I meant 360 degree, 180 degree, 270 degree crank, and so on.
+TheMatteoStudios Regular order.
So, 360 then? Even firing?
Come on Honda! GEAR INDICATOR please!
No one needs one. Ride long enough and you just know what gear your in.
Eucalypt trees, looks like Australia, so must be Portugal.
I was thinking the same thing. Just like a sunny day here in Oz, apart from the side of the road.
There was the old unlimited speed sign (now 100 km's) that I noticed.
It's the south of Spain, you can tell by the olive trees. Lora del Río, to be precise, in the province of Seville.
qual é o gosto de pilotar uma Moto dessa Sem escapamento irado??
2:35 gave me a heart attack
Chicago Skater 🤔
you need to speak up !! its so annoying to strain my hearing and focus just to get what you're saying...ty for the review though.
6:40 am i the only one who see the face on cb500f? 😊
Get the Mt-07
not an ideal A2 bike since it needs an restrictor.
can barely hear u in the video
Thanks for your review, thumbs up but....I could only understand every other word. 😔
Lams cbr650f is better I think!
I bought the cb500f 2017, ONE OF THE MOST BORING MOTORCYCLES I HAVE EVER RIDE. seriously its like riding a scooter, it LACKS character so much. heavy, underpowered, soft suspension. My MT-125 was like so much more fun to ride, even though it had less Horsepower. Seriously i think that only offroad hondas and 1000cc hondas are worth it. Switching to yamaha mt-07 in a couple weeks.
you'll get bored of these bikes quick. Get a yamaha fz 07. Close in price and much more torque.
some of us can't because of licensing
+Sean Case you'll get bored of an FZ07 quite quick too, just go for 1301cc, the KTM Super Duke R
+RevToTheRedline woah woah woah. let's not get crazy here. 1300cc might be overkill for anything but a crusier.
+RevToTheRedline nice channel by the way.
lol, but in all honesty I got tired of my 500R in 7 months, don't get me wrong it's a fun bike but 43 wHP out of a 470cc twin is lackluster at best, it can get the front wheel up in 1st and 2nd but runs out of steam at about 80mph comfortably.
not worth
It's too heavy.
The gold engine casing ruins everything. Looks like a kids toy cuz of that.
