Amazing video, good job
Nice. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Great review of the updates Kevin. You are my go-to guy for detailed Honda reviews. I have had 2 CBR500R's and can't pull away to the 650r as these 500's seem to get the majority of updates. The sticker price is always minimally increased. The front end is basically the 650r now. And lets face it, fuel consumption is becoming an issue! I'd love to see a rear fender to keep grit off the shock, even as an accessory. I think I'll go 22 MY on this machine again.
Excellent review Kevin 👍
Appreciate it bud! I'm trying my best to improve these from where we were a year ago on my 2021 CBR500R video etc so the kind words are greatly appreciated ;)
I really need to add one to the garage I’ve wanted one for years

Love this Motorcycle 🏆
Off question but do you know if the cb1000r black edition will return to the USA for 2023?
useable and super user friendly bike🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼♀️
100%!
Most people don't get that when you are a really tall person, the Ninja400 ain't no option, but the CBR500R is.
Agree, I am 5ft 9 on Ninja 400 and comfortable but feel like it would be cramped for 5ft 10 and up. I do wish they would try shave a little bit more weight off the CBR and still keep it A2 licence friendly... but sounds like they have done some tweeks to liven up the handling. I am recommending this bike for my 5ft 11 friend who is a new rider.
@@101BadBreath indeed. I own both the 2022 CBR500R and a 2020 Ninja 400 as a tall person (more than 6ft). Prior to the 2022 CBR500R I had the 2021 CBR500R. So I really experienced this upgrade. I found it to be a massive huge improvement. I ride the CBR500R daily. The Ninja400 for me is like a sportscar I ride on Sundays when I feel like it. Due to my height, its completely impossible to ride the Ninja400 long distance or daily, and I am a fully capable welltrained midaged person. This aspect gets zero attention on any internet review when it comes to CBR500R vs. Ninja400. Yes the Ninja is more fun, but most reviewers seem to be shorter humans.
I have 2018 Ninja 400 (Sunday breakfast runs and short fun blasts) and CFMOTO 300sr (commuter and starter bike for girlfriend to learn on)... That Ninja 400 is blast of bike that edges you on to push push push... CFMOTO hella chill lol... But riding these little bikes is one of the few times that being 5ft 9 is a blessing lol
@@101BadBreath yeah thats fun we seem to have a very similar setup. The CBR500R is simply chill as well, compared to the Ninja. Its also a more upright position compared to the Ninja so long distance is no problem for me. There is a point to be made about slightly boring bikes that simply do their job as a commuter. Like, I would not go around claiming the CBR500R is the coolest bikes ever, but I know it does the job well, and thats great, and then thats it. It kinda makes no sense comparing it to those special bikes intended for sundays only, like the Ninja. Those are two different use cases. Like, I wouldn't take a ferrari to the grocery store.
@@101BadBreath I was about to say I saw a video of someone buying one who I thought was 6ft+ but they were only 5'10 making the ninja look small.
How would you know if you had the heated hand grips? Just bought the bike and I didn’t check before I left. It gets delivered on Tuesday.
I love the changes. I think Honda should have a twin cylinder that competes with the Yamaha 700cc twin. Bump it up to 700cc and then bump up the CB300R to 400cc.
That being said, my long time motorcycling neighbor loves the motor in his CB500X.
I like your thinking! A new twin is in the works, it'll be interesting to see what the outcome is though... I hope it's a screamer!
Oh yeah, most people end up loving this platform. Of course it's not for everyone but that's why we should be thankful we have more options than ever in the motorcycle world, no matter the style of bike you like.
If only Honda didn't make this bike for the EU market and aimed to satisfy the A2 group lol
@@gsm_liv8980 I've been riding my cb500f for good 5 years now. Despite needing a 270° just for the sound i'd argue it's the perfect bike.
Not slow, Not too fast. You can wring out most of the engine without losing your licence.
Note: you'd have to be on the side of the table who thinks that riding straight on a highway is boring.
badabing badabum, the new hornet pretty much smacks the mt07 in all form possible. Except looks maybe
Waiting for your Hornet design insight... 🙂✌🏻
Appreciate it man! I should've already finished that video but I've been moving into a new office and the whole process has really thrown a wrench in things due to nothing but continued issues and delays. Once I get everything squared away though, it should help productivity so I won't complain, well not too much lol! Thanks again for the support ;)
Southern Honda Powersports in Chattanooga, TN has as sparce a inventory as everyone else , can't even get a bike by going across the country 😞.
Why Honda doesn’t market this as a sport tourer Ala tiger 660 I’ll never understand.. seems pretty good for it. Just put bags, taller windshield and maybe more neutral positioning for the feet and boom! There you go.
The CB500x is kinda what you're searching for tho.
And now with the new 750 enigne their Trans Alp is a direct Tiger660 competitor
Always loved the red too but now I need to have a look at the silver. And as usual that exhaust needs to leave
the exhaust looks disgusting but it sounds really good stock.
I'd look into the mivv gp pro slipon, really nice sound and looks
What do you guys think, were the updates worth the $200 price increase?
Better fork and twin discs are absolutely worth the price increase. Wouldn't be considering the Honda 500s without the update.
@@GripEngineering Even without the bike rides hella nice.
Here in Europe you can get the cbr for around 6200€ or something, if you can handle the price down abit to that it's a bike worth every penny.
And the fact that it has twin discs up front, radial callipers and the fat forks. I do be considering to swap my 2018 cb500f (which I love so much) for a new cbr.
This or ninja 650?
I really like this bike as a downsize bike. With the front suspension change and front brake change, I'm finally going to bite. There was a time when I would have taken a 350RR model, but I'm getting older and the joints are not the same. I can ride on this a lot longer than I would a super sport 350 model.
probably yes. But I've got the 2018 cbf with the older right side up suspension and the thing rides like a dream itself.
I am gonna go test ride the new cbr eventually, lets see how much better the new showas are.
Can anyone confirm if the new 2022 CBR 500r is running 15T/41T sprockets w/a 520 chain like the honda website says in the specs, or is it using 15T/44T with a 525 chain like they list in the downloadable pdf brochure (also on the website). This would be a meaningful upgrade if IMHO if it is true......
What difference would that make to an every day joe?
And for not one, it's no effort for you to swap out if you didn't like it no?
But I've also been considering getting a shorter gearing on my cb500f 🤔
@@Daniel-dj7fh Not a whole lot of effort no, but I am poor so would prefer to save myself a little $$$ on mods if I can.
It's not that expensive depending on where you live. Here in Germany it's borderline not worth it unless you're planning on keeping the bike for a longer time.
But I ride the cb500f, assuming the gearing is the same, it's a lot of fun. 1st maxes around 70km/h, 2nd 90km/h, 3rd I think 120km/h, 4th around 150km/h I'd have to guess, and 6th at 173km/h.
I was considering getting the sprockets changed for shorter gearing, but it's a first world problem.@@ryanbrown5552
But if you get mods, get quality mods, most of them on a bike can cause accidents which would be a life or death thing.@@ryanbrown5552
wait wait wait, the 600rr is just 11k?
Whilst me over here have to consider spending 10k€ for a cbr650r?
Honda is my favorite brand but for approx $2,000 less I would get the Ninja 400.
Yessir, there's no doubt about it, when it comes to bang for the buck... the Ninja 400 is hard to beat!
stupid choice
Here in Spain the cbr is only 251 euros more. The black ninja 400 is 6999€ and the cbr 500r is 7250€.
its funny how much you Americans get scammed with the Honda. Over here in Germany they're 600€ apart making the Honda a way better deal.
What a bummer my power sports dealerships here don't even have anymore Honda CBR's....not sure what Hondas deal is with not pushing out the production on these. Thank goodness I got my 2019 when I did, because stock has become all but non existent as far as Honda sport bikes go in my dealerships at RideNow Powersports Tucson
youre lucky you have an actual honda dealership like a Harley place. Jealous.
Just got my 22 from dealership.
Heck yeah, congrats man! Which color did you go with?
@@HondaProKevin thank you. I went with the red one.
Nice! It's hard to beat red when it comes to a CBR, I may be a little biased though lol!
@@HondaProKevin I feel the same too. I first saw silver and felt it looked good in it's own way but when I saw red, I fell in love with the bike more
How much did you pay out the door?
Why would one buy this over the Ninja 400?
Much prefer a more upright riding position
I hear ya! If I'm not out on a supersport bike raising hell, give me an upright riding position any day of the week.
@@HondaProKevin good video man. I watch every one you post. Looking to get either a adv 150 scooter
This reminds me of do-it-all riding positions of mid-90s sport bikes; CBR600F4, Yamaha YZF600R, Ninja ZX-6, etc. Nothing like the Supersport or Hypersport bike riding positions.
@@447Film Thanks a million for the support bud, I really appreciate it...
The ADV150 is a blast to rip around on! I'm still surprised American Honda hasn't started importing the ADV350 yet, given the success of the 150.
@@GripEngineering 100%! The CBR650R that used to be the CBR650F is our modern day CBR600F4i/F4/F3 etc and this is just a "mini-me" version of that.
Red and black all the way, but i miss my beautiful orange and black 2008 CBR 600rr. That thing was SEXY, like the 2006 before it.
But gone is orange for Honda and I've absolutely loved my red and black pattern on the 2019 CBR 500r.
BUT, that smoking hot metallic silver/grey is off the chain sexy. I may have to betray red and go with silver, yellow and black next time... because that is absolutely spectacular.
That's if i don't upgrade horse power and go with a 650r
I have a gs500 and dont know how the honda can be marketed as a sports bike they make the same power, are both parallel twins that make a paltry 47 bhp and cant get past 110 MPH, I love the styling of the CBR but please, sports bike this is not.
Lol you're not wrong bud. The lines have seriously been blurred between a lot of bike classifications these days, nowadays it's more about classifying them based off of their styling and not necessarily their performance. Which is why the difference between a sport bike and supersport bike are more important than ever, in my opinion.
Plus the european a2 licensing rules. The 500 could have been so much more if it weren’t for this🥲
sports bike doesn't correlate to how fast it can go
@@madingahmar4420 Since you're not in the EU and don't have to deal with the 0.22kW/kg limit, why don't you just use a Powe commander and tune it?
I hear so many people complaining, but no body doing anything against it. People be tuning brand new s1000rr's and R1's but not these?
@@HondaProKevin I mean just look at how insanely potent the current 1000cc naked and sport-adventure market is, is anyone complaining that they are not called sportbikes? no
2:11 oar
Prices over ten thousand for a 500. I’m not paying that thought maybe 7 but no
I'm with you there bud, once the prices start to get into that neck of the woods - this bike isn't a bargain. I feel like a "boomer" saying it lol but I remember selling these for $5k not that long ago!
So my question was answered... the ninja 400 is still faster with less cc's and higher rpm . Well, at least it's honda reliable...
0.1964kW/kg at 10k rpm maxing at 188km/h and 0.22kW/kg at 6.5k rpm maxing at 176km/h. Assuming you rode both I really don't think you'd be alot faster on the ninja
Kinda like a 6 cylinder Mustang.
Lol I haven't thought of that analogy before but it's spot on! Not everyone wants or needs a GT, GT350, GT500 etc and that's where this "6 cylinder" or nowadays since Ford discontinued that engine, a four banger comes into play like this CBR500R.
@@HondaProKevin woops, yeah kinda showing my age. Last time I had a Mustang was the other time they dropped the v6 for an i4. But hey, even my GT was barely pushing 200hp back then.
In all seriousness that little 500 is a pretty solid engine and I have zero complaints about it in my cb500x.
@@willyjimmy8881 Oh yeah, I forgot about them doing that back in the day too! It's wild how times have changed, back then 200hp was something to write home about in the GT platform but now if it's not pushing 500+ horsepower then it's considered a joke. Whether it be cars or bikes, it's crazy how the performance levels have changed over the years and what was considered fast, not that many years ago, compared to now.
Oh yeah, this engine is hard to beat and 99% of owners absolutely love it and it's easy to see why Honda is hellbent on throwing it in as many models as they can.
get the silver and remove the decals.
Ooooo, I like your thinking! Haven't seen anyone give that a whirl yet to see how she'd look.
Honda cbr 500 r India launch so
Sadly the much cheaper Ninja 400 will still smoke this 500.
I wouldn't say "smoke" but it'll definitely win in a drag race with identical riders on the seat. The Ninja 400 is no joke and we're lucky to have as many options as we do in this segment, it makes each manufacturer continue to step it up.
@@HondaProKevin Ninja 400 is also a track weapon with it's shorter wheelbase and is 60lb lighter than this cbr500r. What are you really getting for $7200?
@@quanwick4516 A much better street bike. Sat on both today. The riding position on the Honda is better for larger riders. I'm 5'11" and the CBR would be good for sport OR touring. The Ninja 400 bars are closer and higher placing me very upright; not good for sport riding and catching all the wind, so not good for longer rides. The longer wheelbase and extra weight of CBR are a positive for anything other than pure track riding. An extra front disc is something every rider can appreciate, and the seat isn't sloped as on the Ninja. If I was wanting a track bike, definitely the Ninja and I'd rework the ergos with clip-ons to start, but for an all around sport bike for the street, I like the CBR.
@@GripEngineering Thank you for taking the time out of your day for schooling me. I've ridden the previous generation and it was very disappointing that's why I was judgmental with this one thinking it will behave the same since it still has the same engine.
@@quanwick4516 Well, this one isn't going to be quicker, but overall acceleration levels are just one aspect of how a bike fits our intended riding. Some of my favorite sport bikes have been shootout "losers", but they fit my needs perfectly. A Ninja 400 may be the best machine for your goals; just wanted to share what I learned from checking out the machines this morning.
Horsepower , horsepower, horsepower, come on, dear Honda... Really?
44hp is more than enough
Looks the same
At a quick glance it may look the same but that's why I make these videos explaining not only the big changes but the small ones too 😉
