Why I LOVE the 2019 Honda CBR500R
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2020
- Trying to give a mediocre description of why I love the Honda CBR 500R, and disliked the Yamaha R3. As well as how the first few months of riding has been.
You're bang on with the 500r not being popular... That's why we need people like you to promote it :) It really is a hidden gem especially the styling of the 2019+. Nice video and subscribed!
For real! I don’t understand how it isn’t more popular. Appreciate the sub and glad you enjoyed the video!
I just checked prices locally and this is going for ~$7K when the CB500F is $5.5K and the cbr600r can be grabbed for $8.5K. It’s either spend less for naked or spend a little more for batshi+ fast.
Jeo Meo currently my struggle. Looking at both bikes and torn since both are ideal. And both priced the same for me
Kevin Barlage thx for the input. Cbr500r it is lol. I mean I’m not into the speed aspect but here in SoCal are plenty of highways and 50 won’t cut it
@@TheTommyGun It's the price man the price. Dealerships in my area want $8K for this thing OTD. When they're done with their $1,200 - $2,000 dealer fees it makes the bike not worth it. I honestly believe most motorcycle sales are from new riders purchasing lower cc bikes because these dealers seem to prey on people buying those type of bikes. I've heard all kinds of dumbsh*t from salesmen trying to convince me some cheaply manufactured entry level bike with cheap parts is worth paying their ridiculous fee for. You want a 600cc or above they'll throw deals at you all day because those bike sit around forever depreciating but entry level bikes those go fast. They know some young and dumb eager rider just wants to get out and ride and will pay whatever they ask to get their first bike. You should see prices of Ninja 400's and R3's by me it's crazy. One dealer is selling a used 2018 Ninja 400 with 6,000 miles at $700 above the MSRP of a brand New Ninja 400. They also haven't had a CBR500R on their show room floor in years and will tell you it's not a popular bike that's why they don't carry them... when the truth is they don't order them in the first place because no one is willing to pay $8K for the bike.
Great video! I have a 2020 ZX6R but wanted something that was more comfortable for longer rides and still looked and handled good so I picked up a 2019 500R recently. As incredible a machine the ZX6R is, I find myself riding the 500R a lot more. The supersport position gets tiring fast and the 500R is plenty fun.
I started on a R3 and bought a Ninja 400 two months later. One month after that, I bought a 2019 ZX6R (still had all 3 at this point). Sold the R3 and ZX6R and kept the 400. Six months later, I really missed the performance of the 6R, so I traded the 400 on a 2020 model. Long story short, you were right to go with the 500R first. I lost a ton of money making many poor decisions. Lesson finally learned.
Awesome response my man! Your timeline is pretty spot on and would be helpful for a lot of new riders I feel. Couldn’t recommend the 500R enough for a beginner as the power delivery is incredibly smooth throughout all the gears and the riding position is a great mix between aggressive and laid upright. Glad you have found something you enjoy!
I feel you bro especially on the 'poor decisions' part. Started on a Yamaha R15 (155cc), got tired of it 6 mths later, sold it and got and R25 (250cc). Currently on the 25 for a year now and looking to a 500R, but don't have the money yet. The 25 gets a lil buzzy and tired on long journeys. Though the top speed on the 25 and 500R are close, I imagine the 500R is much less buzzier on the top end.
In short, I'd should have started on the 500R rather than 'climb the ladder'. I already have a full-license anyway (in my country a full license enables you to ride bikes above 250cc).
It's called a dead red light. In some states motorcyclists can treat a non responsive stoplight like a stop sign as long as they yield to other traffic. The dead red rule applies in Arkansas, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin, which allow a motorcyclist to proceed with caution after coming to a complete stop through a red light that fails to detect the bike. Oregon and Washington similar laws but I couldn't find anything with a quick search.
Ive owned my cbr500r for a little over 3 years now and I can safely say I have no complaints about it, havent had any mechanical issues and its being driven in standard Irish weather which is on the wet side for most of the year it has never let me down! I absolutely adore this bike, it looks amazing, so smooth to drive, its not too heavy and it can overtake cars in fast lanes with no problem. Im only 5'3 and I can touch the floor comfortably with both feet and sit upright. It manages fuel very well using only a little over half a tank on a 3 hour drive travelling 207km across the country. It also gets a ton of compliments at local bike gatherings and many people mistake it for a fireblade due to the shape and colours lol
Do you ride it all year?
I’m 5’2 and I have the cbr as well. It is amazing! It is so comfortable
@@AjedrezEsVida-pt7es literally every day, daily commuter, almost all weather. I don't have to travel very long each day but I usually go 2 weeks before I refill my tank
@@Scar_Roses82 it's an amazing bike, I love it 🥰
I got this same year bike back in March. I grew up riding dirt bikes but haven't ridden in almost 10 years. This was my first street bike, so I thought this would be a good starting point. I could have started on something bigger but don't have any regrets. It's a ton of fun. I'll probably trade it in next spring for the 2019-2020 cbr650r and put a ton of miles on it. Great video man, just be careful of being in neutral at a red light!
That’s dope man! The bike is a ton of fun for what it has to offer. Glad you’re liking it!
Cant agree more...I have a 2018 CBR 500r, first bike, and I am absolutely in love with it...I've taken it to the mountains about an hour away several times already and I can compete with much more powerful bikes as my skill continues to increase...already over 2k miles in about a month...glad I'm not the only one who finds this piece of machinery to be fantastic...
That’s so dope! What mountain range do you ride to? Glad you’re loving your bike as much as I am!
@@TheTommyGun called Blood Mtn, in north GA...its just an overall great experience...
I’m jealous! I’m currently in the Black Hills and all it’s doing is wanting me to take the bike out. Mountain riding seems unreal!
Don’t see much difference in the ‘18 and ‘19 models outside in gear indicator. Anything else?
@@mrbced21 There were a bunch of small changes, but nothing incredibly substantial. I'll link a website that goes over a few more of the changes. I mainly wanted the gear indicator as I figured it would help understanding gears however I'm incredibly comfortable without looking at it now!

Quality video on a quality vehicle! 🏍
A very under rated bike for sure. I got one from a friend and honestly I ride it more than my Harley and r6. It's nimble, quick handling, great on gas, cheap to insure and just enough power to use it all on the streets somewhat safely.
Well said man!
Hey, if it's not too much of an ask, how much was your average insurance for this motorcycle? I'm thinking about getting one for 3 season driving, then use my car for winter driving. Insurance these days is killer.
低轉有力的設定真的很適合新手騎起來輕鬆又舒適 雖然快200KG的車重但偏偏騎起來又很輕巧 油耗也低 雖然高轉氣短是缺點 但整體而言是很棒的入門車!
I started on a grom and now I’m looking into the safety course an for my first bike I want the cbr500r and this video just made me set for my first bike
I love to hear that man! It's a great bike, enjoy it!
I have this bike and love it. The handling is solid, decent weight combined with low centre of gravity improves confidence. Not going to smoke my CBR 1000RR but that's not the point. Mine was less than $6,500 brand new so not sure what others are talking about. Even if it's more than others of the same class, Honda has a well-deserved reputation of quality engineering and reliability. In my experience their stuff is bulletproof and worth every penny.
Great video. I own a 2018 CBR500R. I am finally at the point now over 2 years later where I’m looking at other bikes(2021 MT07/09) but I will say I could easily go another a season on my CBR. The CBR is a great bike if you don’t want too much power but also don’t want too little. Albeit it is a bit pricey if you intend to drive it for only a year or so than trade up. If that’s the case I would recommend the Ninja 400 over it. I could see many people driving a CBR500R for multiple years if they do most of their riding locally
Well said Dylan, appreciate you checking out the video!
Too much power? It one of if not the fastest for a A2 rider? Doing 0-60 in 4 seconds! It's quick asf
Not sure where you are, but in South Carolina if you are at a light and it doesn't change for you after 120 seconds you can use the red light as a stop sign and go when clear. Also the weight of the vehicle doesn't matter. It uses a magnet to sense when there's a vehicle stopped at the light.
Makes sense homie, thanks for the comment! 🤙🏼
I install traffic loops for private businesses - the wiring in the ground is a continuous series of loops, connected to a circuit with an ocsilator. It's basically a metal detector. As a motorcycle is so much smaller than a car, sometimes you'll stop & not be over the sensor range. Here in Arkansas, we also can go after waiting if the motorcycle doesn't register & the light doesn't change after a minute or two.
I have an r3. Small displacement bikes are fun! I had bought a 2018 cb650f for my first bike and it got stolen about 2 weeks later. Honestly I'm better off with the r3. The cb650f was pretty damn fast for a beginner. Almost twice the horsepower of yours, and 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. I bought the 2020 r3 because I got it for 4,500 out the door, brand new. I won't be keeping it forever, so it's just to build the skills. After that it'll be the mt10. The r3 is actually faster than the cbr500r
I'm riding the Naked version - the CB500F. I completely agree with your assessment. These 500's are simply great 'intro' street bikes. Real 'big bike' feel, smooth - and fast enough for any legal speed limit street riding.
I love the "legal speed limit street riding" lmao so true!
Bought a 18' CBR 500R today with a few thousand miles on it and I already love it
Heck yeah, ride safe!
In that situation where the left light won't change you did the right thing. Go straight when safe. If a cop stops you then you have a legitimate reason. If you turn left against a red light he may give you a ticket.
Thanks for the feedback it’s always a weird situation!
once i saw the cbr500r i instantly fell in love, im planing on getting it as my first and olny bike asap, gonna keep that baby for life, only question i have is how can i tell what aftermarket exhaust is better, because on youtube you cant really hear the real sound, and every video is a different quallity, especially for the cbr500r since its not a popular bike
I feel you on that, it’s a dope ass bike so hopefully you can get it soon! I made a video on my exhaust, but it’s really tough to tell the sound qualities as you already know. That being said you just kinda have to pick one and go for it..
Same here but it might be my second bike my first i will be getting the lifan 200 just to learn to ride on never rode a bike before so im excited shit i even got my older brother to get a bike so we gonna have ours next years O yea cant wait and i been on the cbr500r thats the reason i want a bike because people dont kno about it low key shit everybody have the same bikes fuck that not me "BURN RUBBER NOT YOUR SOUL"
That’s super exciting! Have fun and stay safe my man!
I picked the leo vince gp corsa. Waiting on it to arrive. I like it's sound and it's much lighter.
Try checking the Leo Vince LV10!
Hey man I have a 2014 Honda cbr500r I'm going to keep that bike for life
It’s a dope bike, I’d love to keep mine for as long as possible too!
Got a 2016. Black matte .
Love it !
Love to have that extra power but hey U always want more .
Excellent bike and finish and reliable as hell.
Many people think is a 1000 .lol .it looks the part.
Enjoy what U got some other people got nothing so we are blessed to have it
Cheers
Well said Claude, totally agree! Definitely the best looking 500 imo!
agree ive got the 2016 tri colour, in 4 years only changed both tyres and a battery done 17,800 ish ks, still lovin it :-)
Hey, here in MN it is legal for motorcycles to run red lights if they don't turn green, but do it safely.
Definitely got to make the most of the short riding season in minnesota. When I got my 22 cbr500 I put 2,300 miles on it in the first month haha.
I 100% feel that! Tough to get off it the first couple months.
These are great bikes. It's just that dealers mark them up so much it turns people off from getting them and then when you try to sell one it's so unpopular that you have to sell it lower and lose out even further. It just has a bad rep because of greedy dealership politics. instead of being it being the affordable $6K range bike to compete with the R3 and Ninja 400 it just becomes an $8K non ABS -$9K w/ABS entry level bike with sub par performance to price ratio.
That’s crazy! But also makes a ton of sense. I was able to get mine for $6000 so didn’t feel like I was overpaying too much knowing I couldn’t drop $10-12k on a 600 at the time
@@TheTommyGun You got an awesome deal. Love to have a dealer like that. There's only 3 dealers in my state all of them more scummier than the next. Oddly only the Harley dealers seem to be cool on prices... go figure.
I wish there were was much more after market support for the 500R. It's a crime how there are so little in the way for aftermarket parts versus other bikes in the same class. Even tho the 500R is widely supported in Europe and South East Asia, there are hardly any parts here in the US.
Well said mate. One of the big unfortunate aspects of an otherwise wonderful bike!
Have the same bike. picked it up September 19. Best looking bike in its class and below. If the 650 came in the black paint it would be the one and only i would ever need but for some reason it’s not available in north america.
It’s a very good looking bike! I wonder if they’ll make the 650 in black in future models 🤔
Bro I just finished my MSF on a GROM TOO!!!! hahaha
Idk what to get an R3 cause Rossi, or a CBR500
These are both bikes I’m debating right now. Will be my first bike after I pass my A2 licence. I love the red cbr but also the black and can’t decide which colour but think I’m decided on the cbr!!!
It’s honestly a fantastic bike, you’ll love it!
I've got the grand Prix Red its awsome
@@sim7085 You love to hear it! What year did you get?
TommyGun I’ve got the 2019 aswell. Got some upgrades on it aswell 😁
@@sim7085 That's awesome! I'm bummed that there isn't more upgrades available for the 2019 though. Would love to get an ECU flash, and some other things!
Flash your bright lights to trip sensor for streetlights
This is my first bike so excited! Getting it tomorrow
Congratulations! Enjoy it!
I did, to it home today, bike is so much gorgeous is person 😍
It really is! Where you able to get out and ride it or did you ride it home from the dealer?
Yes ! Left the dealership and rode it all day 😂
I think its not popular because of the power to weight ratio and price. 500r is NOT a light bike compared to its in class competition. Its a premium price and isn't any faster than a ninja 400. Personally I think i just like the look of the cbr better though. And I just love Honda products.
Has more torque tho
Nice vid I’ve got the 2019 500r too same colours as yours. It’s awesome but I’ll deffo be looking for some more power in a year or so.
Appreciate it man! If you were to get more power what would you get?
@@TheTommyGun I think I want an newer R6 😁
Nathan Green Hell yeah! The newer R6’s look nuts. I’m not exactly sure what I’d get maybe a newer R6 or 600RR
Next time try moving a little on your bike ( going back and forth etc.) to trigger the sensor.
Hi, I've bought the new Lexmoto LXR 380 here in the UK, I don't think you have them where you are, I have been looking at the Honda CBR 500R with great interest as my lower back is not so strong anymore so I can't ride the big bikes like I used to do. I think if I bought the Honda I would get rid of the standard end can, and put a better tinted screen on. Keep up the good work. 👍🏍️
Hey Ian, I appreciate the kind words! I haven’t heard of the Lexmoto, but it looks like a clean bike. The CBR 500R is pretty comfortable with a more touring upright position in relation to other sport bikes. Ride safe man!
I bought a 2017 500r a week ago for 4500 cnd cash. Havent been able to ride it around (legally :P) yet but man i love this thing. I dont have my license yet but im going to take the course here in canada in the spring and get on the road ASAP. So many review videos about this bike are all negative about how heavy it is/how expensive it is new. But for 4500 bucks and me being a complete noob on two wheels (used to ride racing quads alot) i think the 500r is a steal of a bike
I love this! Congrats on your pickup and good luck with your license test next year. Even though it sucks having to wait it’ll be well worth it. Cheers!
I love mine, I got the 2021 white one, almost to my 600 mile oil change 😂.
Plus im getting a white version of this soon ❤️
That’s awesome! Have you rode before or is this gonna be your first bike?
@@TheTommyGun first time ever, all i rode before were bicycles 😂
Ride safe homie!
@@TheTommyGun thank you man, be safe
Nice vid. I have the same bike and love it to bits.
Thanks Reyals for checking out the vid! It’s a fun bike that’s for sure. Safe riding!
Its legal in MN to go through a signal that wont change for you.
i often do 110 mph ad it gets up there quick, i thought about buying a bigger bike but if will do that , do i need to?
Hey Brian! The CBR can for sure get to 110mph pretty quick. I wouldn’t say you need a new bike, but that’s all personal depending on your wants and needs!
La mejor sportbike de 47CV , perfecta para aprender, por su motor, muy equilibrada , es la mejor calidad precio
How tall r u? I hope i didnt miss it randomly in the vud xd
U said the bike feels right n isnt too heavy n yamaha felt small for u. Im jjst assuming ure a bitt bigger as a human than others might be, thus theyd prolly lean on the smaller bikes like yamaha3?
Hey Obi, good question and fair assumption. I am 6'2" so you are correct in that I am a bit taller.
@@TheTommyGun quick response, thx! Appreciate u for sharing ur experiences n views with others *brofist*👊
Put magnets underneath your bike so the sensors on traffic lights would sense you
I am thinking of getting this as a beginner bike but I also want a bike that I don’t outgrow and I’m stuck between cbr500 and fz6r.
I totally understand where you are coming from as I had the same fear. However, I believe that no matter what the bike is there’s always a want for another one. I think it’d be beneficial to get the 500, learn the fundamentals and get comfortable, then increase power as needed!
It is a fact. if you ride the speed limit a 300-500 is MORE THAN ENOUGH. if you rlllyyyy want a 600.. go for it but let's be honest.. if you dont go to track or ride illegal then you dont need more HP than 48. then we can talk about comfort/look and SOUND..
I usually go on red if it skips my turn to go.
Excellent job sir!
It makes a cool exhaust note, especially with the backfires/pops when you roll off the throttle (not sure how those are called). Is it fully stock or did you change something on it to sound like that?
I believe at the time of the video I had already swapped to a Coffman Shorty exhaust which gives it that sound!
Your Speedometer is km/h or Miles/h??
Is a 2016 a good year to buy? I found a white one with blue stripes, 12000kms. My friends have way faster bikes but I only want to go for coffee and take it easy. It's just for riding sometimes, not commuting or racing.
I’m not incredibly familiar with the model before Honda redid the 500r in 2019. But from what I could tell it’d be a good bike for your needs! It won’t have the gear indicator which is one of the reasons I wanted to 2019-. But I think you’d be alright if it’s in a respectable price!
Looking at this or the CB500F. Can’t decide. The look in each is tough
Both would be great bikes! Do you have a preferred style, one that you see on the rode and are like damn that's sick!
My friend has a CB300R and she loves it. Definitely more of a relaxed riding position, however the CBR500R is still pretty lax when it comes to sporting styles.
TommyGun how’s it on the back? Leaning towards the R. But F has the bars that I hear are more confidence inspiring
@@mrbced21 It's pretty forgiving on the back for the most part. I can do about 3 hours with no breaks, but that's about as long as I'll go without one.
Something to consider about the 500f is that it has little to no wind protection, especially when sitting nearly straight up. In longer rides on the freeway that wind really becomes noticeable.
TommyGun yea that’s another thing I noticed and wondered if a windshield would help. That R suits me tho.
My next bike 😎
Put a like big magnet to trip it b, like the cars do. I put 2 under my cbr
Great video considering this bike.
What other bikes are you thinking of?
I run into intersection sensors all the time that won't trigger. I just wait till it's safe and then go. What else can a man do? 🤣
I’ve wasted too much time waiting for those damn lights.. 🤦🏻
Hey, I watched FortNine's video and he said to put magnets on the bottom of your bike. Magnets help amplify the signal or something like that tricking the traffic light sensors to think it's a big semi truck
Yo i know im like a year late but after 2 minutes at a red light your legally aloud to treat it as a stop sign.
Haha no worries! That’s what I thought in the moment, but never felt comfortable on that road because it’s super busy 😂
This is a great bike!
#500rgang

I’ve heard because the r3s are lighter they handle well, how does the cbr500 handle considering it’s a little heavier? Like is the power difference noticeably from the r3 and the cbr500 considering the power to weight ratio?
Hey! While it’s been a little since I’ve rode the R3 I would say that there’s a noticeable difference in power. Especially in higher speeds. The 500r is about 50 lbs heavier but also makes like 20 more hp or so!
@@TheTommyGun actually it makes 7 more
@@TheTommyGun CB is 46.9hp and R3 is 41.4hp so it's 5.5hp difference, but CB is about 26kg heavier so speed wise they are pretty similar.
What do you mean the R3 felt small?
Was it small physically or did it just not feel powerful enough in torque and power?
Both physically and power wise. I’m 6’ 2” so that needs to be taken into account, but also I expected more when rolling on the throttle.
@@TheTommyGun ok that's fair enough. And if you dont mind me asking, how much do you weigh
@@DPham1 Around 170
@@TheTommyGun I see. That helps with my decision-making process on R3 vs CBR500R. Thanks
@@DPham1 Let me know if you have any other questions I can potentially answer!
i ride in thailand, don't get that problem
I'm pretty sure you're allowed to go if it doesn't change.
What do you think of this bike vs a cbr300r? Have you ridden one?
Unfortunately, I have not ridden a CBR300r so I can't comment on the 500 vs. 300.
The 500 is a better buy, the 300 is single cylinder, underpowered and struggles on the highway, especially if you need to pass or make an emergency maneuver under power, borderline dangerous. Even the 500 could use another 10hp. I installed a 14t front sprocket for that extra passing acceleration. Lowered top end by about 5mph, but much better at passing in the 40-80mph range.
That exhaust sounds great. Backfire is awesome, what pipe is that?
Coffman’s Shorty!
What camera do you have?
I use a GoPro Hero 7!
It's nice but it's to heavy for the power in my opinion I think that's why I'd prefer the ninja 400 or the r3 it's a lovely bike though 👍
Did you watch yammie noob hahaha
It’s more of a sport tourer than track bike like the other two
@@dogukanersoy9701 yeah I did 😂😂👍
It's better on highways due to the higher weight. Doesn't get blown around as much as the lighter bikes.
if the light fails to cycle you have the legal right to go through...
That’s what I thought, just an interesting position on such a busy road.
after a couple min u use it as a stop sign
R3 looks good but the 500r looks like a supersport , really. r3 and ninja 300 are too small. 500r is bigger and makes you look like you're riding a supersport, literally. ive had so many compliments and people think my 500r is really fast, lol, because of it's super sport look. i'd have to be very poor to want to downgrade to a 300 for $1,000 less. no thanks.
