2016 Honda CBR 500R - Review & Testride

[@greekonmoto4393]

Oh Yes! I was Expecting for this bike review! Tons of respect to the guy who lent you his brand new bike.

[@JOVO_LOCO_LOBO]

i own this bike and all i can say is great for nightriding super sticky tires except when it gets cold outside nice power line like there is always power when pulling on throttle

[@tomasandersson2381]

I remember first video with you which I watched was a previous CBR500R. What a difference between you now and you then!

[@eliotsalandybrown]

You're a great presenter. Thanks for your fun and informative videos.

[@draiguk]

It's a great bike, I came very close to buying one a couple of months ago but in the end went for the ER-6F. I don't regret it.

[@anjiechung3318]

OMG im waiting for this for a long time! nice done!

[@IRQ1Conflict]

Just an FYI Cager, the stock levers are adjustable. Also, the gas cap is now hinged. Thanks for the look.

[@BeachJedi101]

Pretty good city bike, probably a ton of fun at the track too. Lacking power for the highway though for where I live.

[@terrabiker]

I'll do 130kmh ( max allowed highway speed where i live ) with ease , tops out 180kmh with CB500X. I really don't understand what power does this bike lack for highway use.

[@2wheelsonly614]

parkourviewer max is 110 mph

[@BeachJedi101]

Exactly, when you cruise around at 75-85mph, its just slightly underpowered. I like cruising at low rpm, not winding the hell out of it everyday.

[@gregoryaparker]

It's got enough power for the highway where I live.. here we call it the Autobahn. If you're driving anywhere else other than here in Germany then you have power to spare...lol.

[@TheGillederais]

Gregory A. Parker Sr. yes autobahn if you live in sydney, australia, max motorway speed is 110km, thats mostly interstate. for cities motorway max is 90km.

[@WhiteEyeTree]

"this is probably what i would get to mini cager" You said this for the mt-03 too. Changed your mind? ahah

[@Knifey_ZA]

Thanks Cager, Love your stuff!

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

So did they stop making 600rr? And do 500r? Now

[@UvidCo]

One of the best looking bikes out there. Btw the bike does come with adjustable brake lever.

[@bilko1971]

Thanks for the great review. Can you review a Honda Varadero 125 if you come across one please?

[@gcdiver]

Hey There.... was looking at R3 to start my motorcycling career, but have been leaning towards the CBR500R now. You have an opinion on which is a better 1st bike? I'm 5'11" and 180lbs. Thanks in advance! Ride safe.

[@timothyreynolds3005]

my opinion the cb500r I have one great all round bike sold my vfr1200 and had this great gearbox and smooth fueling top speed 116 better then yamaha

[@gcdiver]

Timothy Reynolds thx Tim!

[@timothyreynolds3005]

hi m8 I get 68 mpg to a gallon they are great one of the nicest bikes and handles nice too and breaks great I have the abs so if you have one go for that also on eBay there is one for sale with 5k miles and only 2500 pounds the same colour as mine red white and blue hope this helps m8

[@rzaner]

cager please do a review on the triumph tiger 800!

[@tortozza]

Can you test ride the Honda NSC110 (Vision)? Some of us are poor and can't afford these nice bikes....

[@soulis1000]

And/or the Suzuki uk110 adress witch is even cheaper.

[@navaks5335]

Cager how tall are you? Cuz I’m 6 foot and don’t know if I’ll be good on it

[@m.rraghav817]

Cager why a rc125 but not a rc200? also from where i am from, this bike is perfect for highways i.e india but honda motorcyles india dont care, the old cbr 250r is still being sold here plus new colours, no cbr 300, or 250rr or 500, also the other models like cb,cbx,etc never make it here :(

[@sidrolf]

Are you using countersteering to turn?

[@terrabiker]

Is there any other way to turn on a motorcycle ?

[@tomasandersson2381]

Everyone uses, knowing or not)

[@sidrolf]

TerraBiker hey dude I'm a beginner and the thought of conscious counter steering scares me. To me in the video it wasn't very obvious if he was turning the other way to turn the other way haha. Freaky concept!!

[@sidrolf]

Tomas Andersson yeah haha, it's active countersteering that blows my mind

[@terrabiker]

Well , you have to look on it in reverse , make it your friend instead. There's nothing to be afraid of. It saves lives , not take them. And if you didn't watch it yet , take a look on the Twist of the wrist 2 , as a beginner , repeat 3 times a week , that should do just fine :D And try try try.... ;)

[@Aspire198]

sounds different, like there's a playing card catching on a wheel at times.

[@Unsocial200]

I think i can hear the fairing or something vibrating on high rpm (e.g 02:34 ) thats what i dont like on some honda models Its getting annoying after a while

[@blipco5]

The fuel consumption meters read way low on this bike. These bikes get between 60 and 70 MPG.

[@TheInferno]

sick ass ride

[@mengo750]

I think that I love your voice !!! I don't know why ahahah

[@chrisweston9764]

The local Honda dealer wanted me to pay ~£20 to test ride one of these so, obviously, I went elsewhere (Yamaha). Sad really as I really do like the CB range

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

now just have to compare it with the new cb500f

[@UnknownProdrive]

C2W beat you to it Cager. Starter bikes for new riders or people on a budget or a cheap commuter.

[@_TrueDesire_]

Sleepingdragon 1 thing is, the Ninja 650 2017 might only cost 600eur more, with assist and slipper clutch, also available to get a free ecu flash for the A2 license (48hp) and later flash it back to 68hp. think they weigh the same also. around the 193-195kg mark. the CBR500R increased its price way too much over here to recommend it now :/ even if it got better adjustable levers, new design, better sounding stock exhaust, improved front suspension. i mean 7300eur is a tough one to swallow.

[@captainjack1029]

Chase might have done it first, but they both cover points that each of them didn't. I might be wrong, but I recall Chase didn't mention about the head lights and tyres, whereas Cager didn't mention about big piece fairings, big pegs and etc.

[@_TrueDesire_]

@@ElCoco1984 mate, 4 year old thread 😂

[@bulletben5837]

nice bike alright.

[@carbonsanity3792]

I think this guy took his name from chaseontwowheels

[@Braselton21]

Best bikes for under $7000 1: Yamaha MT/FZ07 2: Honda CBR500R 3: KTM RC390

[@paxas03]

Now ninja 400 wins the second place just because mt07 has bigger engine, and mt07 isn't under 7000 anymore.

[@FirstNameLastName-wo7li]

so maybe your not trying to copy chaseontowheels but your name comes really close .. to close

[@darnellrogers8884]

Why are you in the middle of the roads🤣

[@nunodoliveira]

Está bonita, mas os 48cv não me convencem...

[@lucaskich3908]

Nuno Oliveira 48hp, 50cv

[@bikee4]

Honda < weak sauce.

[@cilla1120]

bikee4 yes lol I'm getting one r6 seemed like to much power for still a fresh rider.😁

[@sebastiaooliveira5459]

bikee4 you are so wrong my friend

[@laurasanchez7105]

the way you said 'r' in the intro sounds like a pirate hahah
