FWIW: CBR500's Up on Honda.ca

No prices yet. I'm sure they won't change my mind into buying one of these bikes though. Darn you Honda. They were supposed to be good-looking, with analog tach, and 400cc.

Yeh .....I was worried that "Honda Canada" was going to leave us out of the loop with re: the new bikes !!!

I kind-of like that the new models are mid-size bikes !!! I still love my CBR250r and plan on more trips with it BUT these mid-size bikes are maybe something to consider down the road !!!

Was at the Toronto show today an tried to make a deal on a new CB500F. They wanted my bike plus $4800 cash so I walked away. It's a nice bike but...not that nice to me.

What do they mean when they say clip on handlebars? You can adjust the height?

They are made like the bars on the cbr250r. There are two pieces, one right and one left.

The other two bikes use sport bars. They are one piece, secured in the middle, more like bars on a dirt bike.

I noticed they say the R has three piston brakes and the X two piston, I wonder if that is only for the abs model on the R
