Can't think why anyone would need more bike than this... Smooth, good looker and unless you want to compete on a track, more than fast enough..

I've been watching many videos about the cbr500r. But this video gives me the reason why I will buy this bike than any bikes out there. Another subscriber. Thank bro! Cool video! Keep up!

Just bought a 2013 model and love love love it! Like others here I watched this video first. I know it not the same year as yours but it helped with my decision. Thanks!

I stoped to look at one today. It screamed quality and comfort. Very nice in the flesh.

Just bought a 2022 did exhaust, tint windshield and absolutely love it. I have had a gsxr 600 about 10 yrs ago but now have 4 kids etc and don't need to go all that fast but still love riding. it is the PERFECT motorcycle. Thanks for the review

Yammie was wrong!

I got this after passing my full bike test here in the uk it's been a brilliant bike for me to learn on after owning for 3 yrs im thinking of getting something a bit bigger. Have no plans to sell my cbr500r am going to just be gready and have 2 bikes as i honestly dont want to get rid of it

Tempted to pick a used one up for the hell of it but not sure if I will regret it. Grew up riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and then my first motorcycle was a 2009 Ninja 250 (bought it new). I knew at the time it was slow but with the money I wanted to spend it was either a brand new 250 or an older 600. Rode it on and off but sold it a few years back. Last year I got a 1980 Yamaha XJ650 which I ride daily. It's that perfect balance of not insanely slow but not too crazy that I will kill myself. That's the reason I am interested in the 500r. As much fun as I'd have with a faster bike on highways I know myself and I wouldn't be able to hold back and would eventually get myself killed.

It’s incredibly important to learn how to ride the correct way. For instance, you’re using mostly rear break but your front brake should be used a majority of the time as it makes up roughly 70% of your stopping power. Using both in conjunction with each other is crucial. Learning on your own is fine but I highly recommend watching some KZread videos about how to ride if you’re not going to take a safety class.

Piece of advice. Don't bother "upgrading" the exhaust. It won't change the power output and it can actually shorten the life of the engine due to changing the air/fuel mixture. If more power is what you want, then buy a more powerful bike. Buying an exhaust has to be the single dumbest thing that noobs do to their bikes.
