To each his own but just understand that the lightness of the ninja 400 comes at a price when you're getting blown around on the highway instead of feeling planted. If the track is what you're after, then clearly the 400 would be better used for that. I don't think Honda has ever marketed the 500r as a track bike. That's what the 600rr and Fireblade are for.

CBR650R - owned two 600s back in the 90s when you got a centre stand with a sports bike. 240kmh out of the box, they were as quick as my Kawasaki GPZ1100 B2. Hondas handled, stopped helluvah lot better and not as bulky as thousands which are way overpowered.

Good review. I'm in my mid 50's and mostly ride alone now. After 3 Harleys I wanted something reliable and fun. My 2022 model good the bill great. Plenty enough power for normal riding. Great reliability. The extra weight makes handling better on the interstate. At 5'11" and 230 pounds it still carries me just fine. After over 40 years of riding and many different brands, Honda is still one of the best quality you can get. I added some Viking sport bags and can enjoy long trips on this great little bike.

My first big bike was almost a 2014 ER6N, but I was drawn into the 2014 CBR500R’s design during that tome and got the Honda instead. It wasn’t quick but it was quick enough most of the time. What people don’t value and can’t be put in paper is that it has plenty of grunt down low for daily riding, not sharp but comfortable suspension and the weight makes it feel like you’re riding on a big bike. Had it for 4 years and was really difficult to rationalise selling it cos it was just enough and such a good bike.

Not a deal breaker for me but it’s just something to notice definitely.

It would be interesting to see how the 22 model handles, upto the 21, eg double discs, is it better braking or a waste of money

I'm 6ft tall and 150lb, I sat on this bike this week first time. It feels like full size bike, rear tire wider than 400cc. This bike does have a full presence of full size bike. If there would be a chance to power commander it up to 60hp with exhaust swap etc, I think it'll make great not only beginner bike. Talking about US. If anyone knows any mods to get hp a bit up, I'd seriously consider buying it as 38 yo returning rider.

The design looks like a combination of R1 and N400, nice 👍

I plan on taking a motorcycle course in the spring so I am more prepared and safer on the roads. I know I can trust a Honda product plus I build their cars for the past 5 years and have owned 3 different Honda and they have never failed me at all so I can trust this bike.

And as far as I've heard, people have only been talking good about the ups forks on the 650. You could probably even mod it to have them become adjustable in the future. Unless you're saving over 1,3k or something I woudln't go with the 21. But the 2018 is a hella good bike, either way I don't think you'll regret either.

If they made this bike 549cc instead of 471cc, torque would be much higher in A2 spec and it could be derestricted to 60hp plus with 40lbs + of torque. The old cb500f had 57hp & 35lbs from 499cc, 20 years ago, before A2 regs. Fuel economy would even better with longer gears and more low down & midrange torque. Imagine with a bigger tank 22.8 litres 60hp + and 40 lbs with weighing 192kgs or less. 5 gallons x 85 mpg is over 400 miles tank range with 130 mph +. 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds. All for £7000. Baby Fireblade thats fast, fuel efficient and cost effective for anyone, experienced or new riders. The big 22.8 litre tank will give the rider the feel of a bigger bike between his legs and gain mega tank range.

Yes, it's accurate.

As a sportbike it might really be to heavy for it´s class (just below 200kg with around 48HP is really not great) but the thing is, a 2013 CBR 500 makes basically the same amount of fun and is probably not much less reliable if well maintained. Each generation is technically kind of similar, appart from the looks and "showa forks" (the old ones are really not much worse)... What they all have in common is that they are really hard to kill if you take care of them and they are really dead easy to work on. The reliability and the fuel economy are the biggest strong points. The obvious weakpoints are that these bikes are rather boring compared to pretty much everything else you get for that kind of money.

For only a little bit more you can get Triumph Trident which is arguably a better bike in every way. For a bit less you can get the Ninja400 which is a very competent bike. Honda sits in a weird spot. If anything the price needs to go down to capture smaller CC market share. To think it will compete with 650cc A2 compliant bikes is delusional. Sorry Honda you need to get in touch with reality.

Interesting point, I think the beauty of the CBR500R is that there isn't really many bikes out there that are A2 compliant out of the box. Fitting a restrictor kit is an option for the Trident, R7 etc, but you're not getting the 'full bike' as it's built - not as fun with a rev limiter!

The joke is, the 500 does 0,185kW/kg and the ninja 650 (in a2 form) does 0,181kW/kg. Which makes the cheaper cb500 line slightly more performant than the ninja 650. Sure you can unlock the full 0.25kW/kg on the ninja once you get your full licence, but normally noone does that. Usually people get something which has more than 100hp when they get their full papers. The ninja 400 on the other hand makes 0,198 kW/kg which is shy below the max. And technically spoken the 500' are only there for the a2, and asian markets where people don't usually get big bikes If we were not to look at the A2 compliences of the bikes the hondas don't really fit right as you said. But if you want to keep the compliences in consideration the bike makes sense. I've been riding the pc58 cbf and honestly, you don't really need more bike. If honda decides to give the forks the adjustability back and give it a cp2 firing order I might even get a cbr again in the future. The bike rides really well and the lack of power allows one to use the motor unlike with bigger bikes.

I rode both, and I'd take the CBR500R any day. Yes, the ninja400 is lighter, more nimble, and has racier engine characteristics, but it feels cheap and is nowhere near as comfortable and nice to ride as the cbr500r on the road. If you're looking for a learner track bike, hands down, the Ninja400 is the bike to get. But if you need a daily commuter with some twistys at the weekend that feels and looks like an actual motorcycle and not some toy you throw away after a year of using, the cbr500r is the one to get.

@@Thirsty_Fox I own both and you are absolutely correct.

They really should have given it a 270-degree crank, because the engine is hot garbage.

I hate 270 twins. If I wanted a bike to sound like a v twin I'd buy a Hardly and a set of crotchless leather chaps, maybe grow a moustache too.

Had to abandon this video due to immensely annoying glottal stops and 100% mispronunciation of 'th' sound as 'f'.

2022 KTM RC390 is a way better option.

60-80mpg...? I highly doubt that 300 mile range ,no way.

I own a 2013 model, can get 70mpg. With this update being a decade worth of enhancements. I dont see why this bike cannot achieve the aforementioned figures.

I have 15,000 km on my 2019 model. I average 3.3 L/100 km and fill up around 450-500 kms (270-300 miles). I can get below 3.0 in town but more like 3.5 if I do a lot of freeway.

The really sad thing is that a Monster 600 from 25 years ago absolutely MURDERS this thing in every department. And will probably go strong for another 20 years…

Yeah too heavy. The cbr500r is in it world of its own. No contender to compete beside the Ninja 400(which was totally a hot 🍰🔥).

Yeah the cbr500r is kinda disappointing. Overall its more like an "going to work" bike. Its comfortable and look stylish when you uses in daily life. But for the price and spec, just pick up another bike instead of this one.

The cbr500r is the only motorcycle in this class that gives you a feel of an actual proper motorcycle and not just a beginner one to throw away after a year. It's not the best track bike, but if you're looking for a good looking sport tourer, it's an amazing motorcycle which you can keep for many years. Nothing in this class can compare with the cbr500r's build quality, looks, and comfort. I ridden all popular bikes from this class and cbr500r feels by far the fasted and torquest.

Oh look the CBR500r was a fucken joke when it was released in 2014 and in 2021 ...it's a slightly more expensive joke. Fuck these things. Cryin shame this is what the once-great Honda churns out these days - boring, soulless, expensive and bloated fucken garbage.
