2026 CBR500R

2026 CBR500R

Description

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. With a lower MSRP for 2026, the CBR500R brings that feeling closer than ever. And we didn’t cut corners. We simply reduced the price to make getting into sport riding simpler and more affordable. You still get full-fairing Supersport style, nimble handling, and approachable twin-cylinder performance, now available in Black or Grand Prix Red. Same bike. Better value. Is your soul ready to move?
