Model history

With the CBR 500 R (PC 62) , Honda has continued the CBR series with numerous improvements since 2019.

The first CBR 500 R with the factory code PC 44 was launched in Europe in 2013. In 2016, its successor appeared with a new sporty, dynamic look and LED headlights. A year later, Honda revised the model and released a Euro 4 compliant motorcycle with the factory code PC 57.

The Honda CB 500 F and Honda CB 500 X also have the same engine and chassis , with which Honda is pursuing a modular strategy and thus saving development costs for individual models. The current model is manufactured in the factory in Thailand.

The motorcycle is given a more powerful and aerodynamically favorable appearance. The power delivery is improved by an increased torque in the lower and middle range. Also new are an anti-hopping clutch, which makes gear changes easier, a twin-pipe exhaust manifold and a lower clip-on handlebar. Instruments with liquid crystal screens (with gear indicator) and LED indicators round off the model revision.

The PC 62 is available in 3 color variants: Matt Axis Gray Metallic, Grand Prix Red and Pearl Metalloid White.
