First Year Impressions | CBR500R

In this video I give my thoughts and insights on my first year riding impressions on my 2019 Honda CBR500R!

[@alisgravenil12]

Getting tomorrow mine 2017 totalla Black Matt Cbr 500r.Cant wait!!!

[@brianpreval5602]

yes please, let's see your roadtrip!

[@TheTommyGun]

May need to get a bike bag ;)

Lookong forward to seeing u hit the track. New sub 💪🏼 the 500 has always been my dream "first bike" The first time I rode, it was a Ninja 500 (they dont even make them anymore) But it made me fall in love with riding. After research i feel in love with the looks of the CBR500. Humbly, I would be happy to own one despite the critics.

[@TheTommyGun]

Thanks for the kind word! I’m incredibly happy with the bike and what it has to offer. Counting the days till next riding season 😈

[@parallelfinn]

I can't wait for the snow to pass where I live. I haven't made a video in months. Interesting to see your thoughts on the bike!

[@TheTommyGun]

Same homie.. It’s been far too long!

[@shinobi_ryder]

TommyGun sir, any thoughts about getting frame sliders to give you peace of mind on track days? PS would love to see a 500r on the track!

[@zroxio9966]

I recommend the frame sliders from Puig.

[@TheTommyGun]

Definetly would look into getting frame sliders. Frame sliders were going to be one of the first mods I did to the bike however when I purchased the 2019 back in February, nobody made them for the 2019 yet..

[@soulunleash1872]

Where is TommyGun at love the videos man

[@TheTommyGun]

Appreciate the kind words my man! Definetly need to make something soon, and hopefully get back on the bike within the next few months. 🤘🏼

[@Dan_B_Rides]

Nice to see you back man, good video. I like the idea of videos on how to change the clutch n brake levers. I was wondering how many miles do you think you can get out of tank with everyday riding?

[@TheTommyGun]

With a full tank I estimate I get about 200 miles or so. I usually fill up far before then, but that's my best guess!

[@Dan_B_Rides]

@@TheTommyGun that’s awesome thank you for replying. I might have to get one for my first bike. Just enough power to have fun and overtake cars on the highway etc. Plus it’s light enough to chick into corners 🙂👍🏻

[@TheTommyGun]

You’re spot on! Couldn’t recommend it enough :)

[@Dan_B_Rides]

@@TheTommyGun hmm might have to see how much I can get one for ha ha. Thanks man. Stay safe and I hope the election goes the way you want it to. Iam from the UK so I am trying to keep an eye on it 😂

[@RevBomb600]

What are your thoughts on Yammie Noob calling our bike "boring" and "has no character"

[@danhouseart]

Maybe he judges character by how many times he's fallen off a bike 😂 that dude is all fart and no poo

[@TheMetoG]

can you do a comparison video on the cbr500 vs the ninja 400, is the cbr really worth the 2K over the ninja, because i LOVE the looks of the cbr500(more than any other bike, even the bigger cbr's) , but if i coud save 2K on a ninja and get a 90% similar bike i would go for the not so sexy ninja

[@RevBomb600]

Ive had the 500 for almost 2 years now and i absolutely love it, but $6500 brand new is pretty high. If you can find one used for a good price, go for it. I paid $4500 for my 2017 model from a dealership

[@TheMetoG]

@@RevBomb600 too bad in my country basically the only options for used are 50cc scuters and 600/1000 super sports

[@tonykartracer8032]

I would rather get the Yamaha R3 over the Ninja... not sure how much price difference between the 2 though.

[@RevBomb600]

@@tonykartracer8032 i know the R3 is about $5300, which is really high for a 300? Especially when you can spend $1000 more and get the CBR500R or even get the Ninja 400 for the exact same price

[@TheMetoG]

@@tonykartracer8032 i like the looks of the r3, but i like the midrange power of the ninja more, i've never ridden an r3 but i heard they are more high reving and i just don't have the roads to need a bike with the power in the high revs

[@enerojp3030]

how many sec will it take to get 100kph? thanks

[@TecMike11]

Can you go 80mph on the highway easily? I’ll be using it on the highway for about 40 minutes on an average of 70 to 80 mph, mostly 80.

[@TheTommyGun]

Easily! The bike sits around 6k rpms in 6th gear going 70-80.

[@TecMike11]

@@TheTommyGun thank you, keep going you’re doing great 👍🏼

[@TheTommyGun]

Appreciate it, means a lot!

[@krispysweekendgarage6892]

I do about 80 with burst up to 108 on the way home. Handles highway great it's mostly all I ride on my way to work.

[@hao.vu1]

Winter is coming

[@TheTommyGun]

😩

[@ronoldcross8189]

I do not consider a 500 as beginner bike. Yes it can be a 1st bike. But beginner bike implies a bike you learn how to ride on and move on. A 500 can be a "permanent" bike. It will take you 500 miles or cross country.
