When the small bikes stop thrilling you and your right hand wants more to twist.
The step up to a proper sportbike. The CBR500R puts 500cc of parallel-twin power behind a full sport fairing with ABS. It handles highway speeds effortlessly and stays comfortable doing it all day long.
For riders who've outgrown 150–250cc machines and want genuine sportbike performance without MotoGP-level intensity. The riding position is aggressive enough to feel sporty, relaxed enough for hours. Honda's twin-cylinder soundtrack is addictive.
Cross the Sarasin Bridge to the mainland, blast through Phang Nga's empty roads, loop back to Phuket for sunset. The CBR500R eats long distances and mountain passes with equal ease. On this island, it's the sportbike that does everything — fast laps and full-day tours alike.

FAQ
Do I need extensive experience to ride the CBR 500R — the most powerful sport bike in the fleet?
The CBR 500R at 500cc remains very rider-friendly — Honda specifically tuned the engine for smooth, predictable power delivery. However, the 192 kg weight and higher speeds require confident experience of at least six months of regular motorcycle riding.
Is the CBR 500R suited for long highway rides around Phuket?
The CBR 500R is the best choice for highway touring in our sport fleet: 500cc provides ample passing power, and the fairing protects from wind at 100+ km/h. You can comfortably circle the entire island in a day without fatigue.
How do you manage the CBR 500R's 192 kg weight when parking?
The 192 kg is noticeable during parking and low-speed U-turns — it's important to get used to the balance in the first 10–15 minutes. The low center of gravity helps, and once moving the weight disappears — the bike becomes obedient at just 20 km/h.
