The New 2013 CBR500R

The all new CBR500R is Honda's answer to the 2013 Kawasaki ninja 300. The CBR500R is targeted for customers who are looking to start on something a bit larger than a 250 or 300 cc bike. The CBR500R is designed for comfort and long distance travelling. Although it might not handle as good as the ninja 300, it does make up for it with its larger torque and horse power. A problem for many taller riders who are interested in learning to ride motorcycles is the leg room that some of the smaller cc bikes lack. This is where the CBR500R excels, it's tailored for taller riders who seek more power but at the same time start on something that's learner friendly.

More power is something that most beginner riders seek after their first year of riding. The CBR500R has 500cc which is more than enough for highway riding. If you are a person who is interested in learning to ride but don't plan to switch into a larger bike anytime soon, then this is the bike for you. The only cons to this bike is its handling and top speed, However due to its power, comfort and ease of riding, this sport bike enthusiast, gives the CBR500R a 4/5 stars.
