Honda CBR 500R Review (2024) The Ultimate A2 Compliant Sports Bike? | FrontWheelUp.com 

Amazing, it's a great bike. Enjoy it! 💪

@@FrontWheelUp thank you and I really enjoyed your video here. Everything you say about the inner attitude, what is needed and what really isn't, resonated very well with me

Thanks for having me!

It really is, enjoy it and ride safe!

Same, my second CBR500R and I will continue to buy these bikes if Honda makes them

Does it feel slow? I’m thinking of getting this but keep seeing varying opinions but would love a real life owners review

@@SWTVENOM No, it has enough torque to get a nice feeling when driving, and the 180kmh is more than enough

@@SWTVENOM No it doesnt, go for a test drive! Its a great bike for commuting, and goes fast enough for any normal street biking. i think it maxes out at 180kmh.

Same as always. Same qualities and distractions common to both companies.

Thanks for the kind words! It's a great little bike 🙂

Oh no! It'll be worth the wait, its a great bike! I've just finished reviewing the 650R which is a fantastic alternative, that review will be on the channel soon. 🙂

@@FrontWheelUp hope to get mine one soon! Im coming from a scooter though. First time driving manual. Hope it doesn’t eat me

The little 500 is an excellent choice but I think I would be tempted to spend a little more and go for the 650. I'm actually reviewing the 650r this coming week so can give you a proper comparison then. 👍

@@FrontWheelUp That is awesome. There are not allot of great reviews and I am on the fence between the two. Seems like the 650R is better long term, but the 500R has that daily commute appeal.

You”re totally correct with your comments about the fireblade. i’m an older rider and have ridden fast bikes over the years -R1, Blackbird,Gpz’s. But while the speed is nice to have, a lot of the time we just want to get somewhere as efficiently and economically as possible .Am using a bike this summer to travel between Manchester and Garstang quite regularly and the little CBR would probably be more relaxing and a lot more economical on that journey than my current FZ6 S2. i’d say it’s probably one of the most practical real world motorcycles out there. I don’t think you can argue with its reliability, looks, ergonomics and combination of performance and economy. Outgoing ‘23 model can be had new for just over £5.5k. Know I could get a hornet 750 for just over a grand more.But doubt it would it be as cheap to run. why there are so many people who think you have to have a BMW 1250 GS just to go up the road I have no idea.

The 650R is actually a BIG step-up from the 500R. 94HP as against 47HP. The price reflects this.

I think you'll be fine, I'm not as tall as you but I found it had loads of leg room. Best bet is to go have a sit on one to be sure 👍

@@FrontWheelUp yeah,will do! Thank you for the answer!

Yes! I recently reviewed the 650R with the E-Clutch...really cool bit of kit.

Can't honestly answer as I haven't ridden that Aprilia yet. That being said, I am a massive Aprilia fan. 🙂

@@FrontWheelUp noicee

The 500R is a great option, but have a look at the 650R review I just finished reviewing...between the two I would go for that one!

You have to consider ownership cost and convince. Honda dealerships are everywhere. Also have to consider maintenance intervals, insurance and fuel consumption. The Honda is better for a beginner.
