Honda came after the 250 market in 2011 with the release of the CBR250R that shocked everyone around the world as Kawasaki has had that market cornered for decades. Well Kawasaki didn't like the competition so they release the Ninja 300 for 2013 to try and "one up" Honda.
Well Honda has answered back with the all new 2013 CBR500R. At only a few more bucks than the Ninja 300 while having twice the TQ and more HP it'll be interesting to see how things play out once the CBR500R is released.
With the introduction of the all-new CBR500R, Honda boldly redefines the middleweight class and infuses a whole new level of excitement for sport riders in search of superior value along with great fun. The CBR500R delivers plenty of performance to all sport riders, including riders moving up from the sporting, entry-level Honda CBR250R, as well as more experienced riders who will appreciate the CBR500R's light and nimble handling. Credit its thoroughly modern, torquey 500cc parallel-twin DOHC engine that's wrapped in a great-handling chassis featuring a full fairing spawned from Honda's much-acclaimed CBR600RR and CBR1000RR sportbikes. This aerodynamic bodywork also provides significant advantages in air management for added rider comfort, along with a low drag coefficient and effective engine cooling. A sophisticated chassis with Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension, stout 41mm fork, sporting 17-inch wheels and a 320mm wave-style front disc brake and 240mm rear disc help round out a package that looks as good as it rolls.
