received mine finally. About to get it on 12th of December but needed to go back home for three weeks urgently so left my bike at the shop.
Received it on 12th of January
They told me that i received the keys of the first red cbr500r in the world
I post this to another local forum about Bikes in Thailand. Do not have time to modify it fully so just posting it here too!
Alright first impressions:
Engine: it is smooth and it has good power starting from 1500 rpm right away and have power everywhere. I liked low and mid range power a lot. It lets you forget which gear you are as it goes all the time smoothly. My bike is smooth as silk even around redline but felt some vibrations when it is neutral. I am doing hard break in so i go to redline. If i see it correctly it redlines 9000 rpm.
Brakes: Brakes are perfect. Even with a single disc which i was suspicious of its stopping power, it has a nice and controlled braking. Rear brakes are really cool. so soft bite! Never see ABS light yesterday!
Transmission: it is a Honda standard. Positive and reliable feeling. It is a little loud though if you cannot find the prefect rpm. I need time with the tranny which is normal.
Comfort: Wind buffeting is less than i imagined and fairings keep the wind out. It was calm when it is 175 km like i was going 120 with cbr250. Seats are comfy for me but i have a steel ass after 24 years of riding bikes. Mirrors are very good but too big for city riding. I hit to another mirror between cars. first to go really as you cannot see anything but teh sky while changing the lanes fast.
Top speed: i reached 175 kmh easily two up and it looks like it will reach more soon
Acceleration: It accelerate fast from any rpm at any gear Cool for city riding. Bike is square but i revs fast and by the time to reach 8500 rpm, you have enough speed.
Noise: Bike is as mute as a sewing machine really. But, there might be a cool sound after break in as the bike is new. Will change the pipe asap!
Instrument cluster: It is nice and neat but i need time to fully adjust myself to rpm counter. A nice touch: once you turn the bike off, the light on the cluster fade away slowly and nicely!
Lights: More that enough, But i prefer both lights running when it is on low beam. I will get it modified soon.
Handling: The bike handles like a dream. Really surprising for that price. It changes the directions almost telepathic! So light and nimble. You can lean with confidence but i am waiting for tires to get ready as they mostly need couple of hundred kilometers to be sticky. The easiest bike i have ever ridden.
Suspension: it is great! I was expecting less but it handles the potholes and mid turn bumps easily. It is comfy too! it really absorb the potholes and bumps.
Now, i am going to Honda Bigwing - official Honda big bike shop in Thailand - to change the first oil - 120 km - as yesterday could not find time to do that. I am breaking it hard, lets see how it will effect performance!
I will add more once i ride it more.
I am the one with red riding jacket next to the first red cbr500 in the middle!
Same user has updated his post run-in(Hard run-in) information
Honda CBR250R Forum : Honda CBR 250 Forums - View Single Post - The 2013 CBR500.
After 1200 km of ride on my cbr500, i get an average of 20 km per liter but i ride my bikes always hard guys. So someone might get 25 km per liter easily from it.
Everything is running good on bike and no glitches so far.
It is pretty comfy in terms of ergonomics and shocks.
I have seen 184 kmh indicated two up on the bike and i checked it with gps and it shows 174.8 kmh for 184 kmh indicated. And it is not shaking etc on that speeds and you reach 180 kmh indicated easily.
So cbr500 can show a 192 kmh maximum indicated on 9050 rpm redline which is 183 kmh max gps speed.
It is a 183 kmh bike not 170 kmh bike as specced. So things can get blurry
Anyhow considering upgrading cbr250 to cbr500 will be very happy imoLeave a comment:

That is the USP for which i am willing to trade my 250 for... but the best part is that the 500 is just as fuel efficient as the 250.. and yields 27kmpl as per rider reports. Spoke to the Honda rep here and he said the 2013 colors for the 250R will be dispatched in the next 3 to 4 months time and that the new 500R is still being decided upon for the Indian market.Originally posted by harsh_66328 View PostLeave a comment:

Yes, EEven I had a smile on my face when I read that line. If it was calmly doing 175, maybe it could top out at 185+Originally posted by Satyamzma View Post
