[RS125]

Here is a teaser of the updated CBR500R, which will be shown at AIMExpo: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/honda-previews-2016-cbr500r-first-look
It looks like it are only minor upgrades to the fairings and the exhaust, but let's wait and see.

New LED headlights. I hope they didn't really get rid of the excellent grab bars.

Has it lost 20kg and gained 2000rpm yet?

The CBR500R will still be a price point world bike fuel sipper for commuting and solo sport touring.

It hasn't lost a single kg. And it doesn't need the extra revs, it's not that kind of engine. It's got so much torque and power everywhere it's not necessary.

Not enough overrun.
they hit the limiter far too early, cant always pull another gear in some corners.


Now decrease the stroke and give it some life,
Hondas new 250/350 that's coming looks the business.

That is true. Making its peak power so close to redline, I have hit the limiter a couple of times trying to keep up with faster cycles on the straights on the street. I like it for the track though, as I don't feel like I'm ringing it's neck all the time like I did on the 250R.
