With the hype surrounding the launch of the next-generation Civic, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) is not about to let its bikes fall behind.

With this sportbike, Honda sought to achieve the perfect harmony of sportiness, safety, and looks. Powering the rig is a 471cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC parallel twin engine, compliant with Euro 5 emission standards. This powertrain supplies the capable chassis with a maximum power output of 35 kW at 8,500 RPM, and peak torque of 43.2 Nm at 6,500 RPM. These numbers make the CBR500R highway-legal, meaning this bike is perfect for cross-country travel. This holds true especially because the steed sips fuel with its pinky up, totaling to an admirable 28.6 km/L fuel economy.
They’ve also beefed up the handling with a Showa inverted front suspension SFF BP, allowing the bike to carve corners with precision. Its straight-line performance and corner maneuverability make it a versatile weapon of choice. Just because we called it a weapon doesn’t mean that it’s unsafe though – it provides impressive stopping power through its 296mm dual-disc front brake with a radial-mount caliper, 2-channel Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS), and an emergency stop signal to let drivers behind know of sudden stops.
