The Honda 500 twins are a series of straight-twinmotorcycles made by Honda since 2013. They are the CB500Fstandard/naked bike, the CBR500Rsport bike, and the CB500Xadventure touring bike. Their introduction coincided with new European licensing regulations establishing a mid-range class of motorcycles of limited power.^[1] The new 500 twins are similar to the earlier CB500 parallel-twins discontinued in 2003, but with new engines, frames, and other parts. They are made in Thailand, where Honda had previously only made smaller displacement motorcycles.^[2]

All three models used the same 471 cc (29 cu in) 180° crank twin-cylinder, parallel, transversely mounted engine whose power output and cubic capacity were below the European driving licence A2 upper limits.^[3]

All models also shared the same six-speed gearbox and the majority of cycle parts. The CB500X had a larger fuel tank and longer front suspension travel making it slightly taller.

On its release, the CBR500R powered the European Junior Cup in 2013 and again in 2014.

Since 2014, Honda has partnered with local organisers to promote national CBR500R Cup events in Brazil & France; raced over various circuits, the competitions are open to amateurs from 13-years upwards.^[4][5][6]

Model history[edit]

The three models were announced on the eve of the November 2012 EICMA show in Milan:

• 2013 April: CBR500R released - a faired sport bike
• 2013 April: CB500F released - a naked standard
• 2013 July: CB500X released - an adventure-styled multi-purpose bike
• 2016: All models restyled adding LED lamps on all models; larger fuel tanks on F and R versions
• 2017: All models are EURO4 compliant with new exhaust, new colours and styling^[7]
• 2018: Colour changes only
• 2019: Styling & colour changes plus many technical improvements: revised exhaust system, anti-rebound clutch, full LED lighting, revised rear shocks, revised LCD intrumentation with extra features, 19' front wheel on the ruggedized CB500X ^[8]

ABS standard on all models in most markets; e.g. for 2017, it remained an option in the USA^[9][10]

Reactions[edit]

Since its launch, the range received many favourable reviews; some preferring the taller X model while the sporty R model was one of Honda's top selling bikes in Canada during 2015 and best selling sports bike in Australia.^[11][12][13] Many commentators, especially in off-road and long distance touring, argued the need for such middleweight bikes.^[14][15] Perhaps as a consequence, in 2015, RallyRaid, a British after-market specialist, created upgrade kits for the R & F machines and a full adventure conversion kit for the X model.^[16][15]
