I really agree with what you were saying about the weight. The other positive of the weight is that jumping on any other bigger sport bike feels like home to home, another reason it’s a good learning bike!
I've been riding my 2021 cbr500r (pearl white) for the past 2 months, ~800 miles. Absolutely love it. Gorgeous, low maintenance, great mileage, more than enough power for highway (cruise at 80+ mph). Got a puig windscreen, tank pad, and Leo Vince GP Corsa Evo slip-on (w/o baffle). I had originally planned on upgrading to a faster bike after 6 months to 1 year, but after having ridden this bike, I plan on keeping it for a long time.
That’s awesome man! I feel the same, I’m about 4K miles into this bike and thought I’d wanna upgrade sooner but like, I’m good with the 500! I’ll probably eventually get something but, not in any rush for sure.
Awesome to read because I was thinking the same thing with my 500r. I love it so far. Was curious on slip on ideas. I haven’t researched them yet but definitely would like to swap the stock.
@@robertmead4552 I highly recommend the one I got (LV GP Corsa Evo). But i put the baffle back in bc I didn't want to annoy my neighbors. Also, without a baffle, i noticed my mpgs decreased from 64-66 mpg to 55-57 mpg. With the baffle in, I'm at around 60-62 mpg. The engine also runs hotter than w/ stock exhaust. But it's worth it for the sound. 😄
Yammie, the guy that got an r3, thought he was ready, got a bigger bike, and almost died on it? Yeah, I don't think he should be speaking on low power for beginners when he didn't even master biking before getting more power.
What he said in his vid about the cbr was that it has the extra weight of 500cc with a negligible increase in power compared to the ninja 400, his main problem with the bike was the price for it new
Hey man great video. So the CBR500R was my first motorcycle too (but mine was the 2nd generation from 2017) and personally I think it is a great beginner bike. You can find them at an affordable price (buy one used, not new like I did lol), they have enough power to learn and get around while even perfectly fit for highway riding, and yet there is not TOO much power. Additionally, it is just a very well built bike overall. You are getting that Honda reliability as well which is an important factor that I think many people overlook. As a beginner, you want to focus solely on LEARNING TO RIDE, not worrying about fixing your bike if it breaks down. You can be really rough on the CBR500R as a beginner, such as lugging it in the wrong gear or dropping it, and most likely you can just keep going with no problems. It really is a very well made bike. For people who are interested in learning to ride and they want something slightly on the sporty side, I think the CBR500R is the perfect bike. Not to mention the thing truly looks the part of a real sportbike!
So the Yamaha R7 is following the same formula as the CBR500R give the Rider a really good handling bike with an underpowered engine so they've just got enough power to enjoy the handling but not enough to ride on the limit of traction. A bit like an Audi A4 and Ford Focus STLine, great acceleration with no top end speed over 90mph.
can't even tell you how happy I am I bought my 2022 cbr500r. Absolutely freaking love it, it checks so many boxes, I have a Triumph tt600, but I'm still an inexperienced Rider, I hear so many idiots bash the cbr500r, if you want a fast bike go buy a fast bike, this is an excellent tool to learn your skills on, Even before the whole spite firing thing, there was always something I didn't like about yammie douche... never really liked him, but yeah this bike is amazing to learn on
I’ve had my 2021 CBR 500R for the last year and 4 months now and it’s great for a beginner bike. Here in the UK you have to be 24+ years old to get anything over 47hp. So whilst I’m under 24 this has been a great bike to learn on before I move up💯
Yammie noob is totally wrong about the cbr500r. It’s the best beginner bike you could get. 500 is the perfect amount to get you out of situations and not be stupid fast. The speed is just enough. 😊
Thanks for your video. I have just bought a 2014 cbr500r in black. Coming back to riding after many years. I was a bit worried about the weight, but found like said, it stabilizes it. Hit a cross wind across a bridge and def felt it, but didn't get pushed around at all. Enough power for me for now too! More interested in economic commuting longer term. Also have subscribed too!
I own a KTM SMC690R but i plan to swap it for a CBR650R next season. i totally agree with you that the 500 is a perfect beginner bike. me personally have driven for a few year and im looking for the perfect daily, dont get much better than a honda.
If you get 250 or 300 cc as beginners bike, yes, it maybe easier to handle but you'll get bored in few months and want to get bigger bike. 500cc seems like a good balance that it is beginners friendly enough and also powerful enough that you won't get bored in few months
I think the ninja 400 is the best full fairing beginner bike. It only weighs 366lbs wet and it handles so good. It's very comfortable with slightly raised handlebars and a low seat height. It's very easy to control and with the assist and slipper clutch it's not going to wear out your hand or lock up the rear tire if you downshift aggressively. It's so forgiving yet it is the fastest bike under 500cc. I highly recommend the ninja 400 to start with.
I acknowledge it's performance but it isn't the best stepping stone for someone who knows they want a 600 or 1000 later! It's too light weight and personally I don't like the look of any modern day Ninja. The cbr500 allows you to get used to the weight safely. Normally that weight comes as part of a package that could literally fly if you had a set of sparrow wings😊
Ive had like 50 Bikes n had a couple of 500’s they are great Bikes. i didn’t understand why Yami trashes Honda. Not sure if he cant get them to do business with him or they pay him to trash Honda its competitors. Any one who drives any Honda from 125cc to Fire blades.. knows they are great. I loved my 500’s
Ill say, Any fool can ride fast in a straight line and that's just thrill seeking , those car drivers who buy a bike and Drive it like a Supercar, just coz it's supercar performance at less than hot hatch prices , they aren't riding their bikes, they abusing them. So yes, if you want to live long and learn roadcraft, like DanDanTheFireman says, positioning on the road and observation and you don't need to be speeding to enjoy your Ride. Something like an XSR or MT07, these latest 650 twins have enough performance to keep you safe if you have to squirt out the way of someone attacking your rear. I ride a Liter Bike but i also take narrow roads, canyon twisties, lakeside Twisties at gentler speeds, that's when im riding my bike. Cutting down long distances tucked behind the fairing like a bullet does require conscentration and while the bike parts are all doing what they were designed to do , i cant dose off or zone out, i still have to be observing well ahead and expectant of other road users movements. The Riders that only do 50-80mph won't comprehend the conscentration required to stay focused at twice their speed. And someone doing 210mph is going 3 times your speed, that's why every road user needs to check their wing mirrors before changing lane. But to come back to Lation , that's like a workout at the gym, not enjoying a leisurely ride or appreciating motorcycling pleasure.
Yammie noob is more of a track guy. Theres alot of good bikes out there that he bashes on that is great for other types of riders. Just one guys opinion. Its a shame he has such a large following. 😂
I’m just watching this seeing places I remember from living in jersey just to see the mall and be like bruh. U literally drove right near my old house 😂
Ayy that's what I got, the 2019. Yeah looks and riding position are perfect but I do agree with you a bit on the exhaust. You can only band-aid this issue with slip-ons/exhaust systems but, still can't get that perfect sound but it gets decent enough.
I put 10k miles on mine last year. My only regret is not getting the 650. After so many miles I’m ready to upgrade. Just can’t beat 4 cylinder sound and rpm’s. I want a 600, but using my bike as a daily driver in summer, it’s not practical. Plus insurance is pain
You mentioned having quarrels with the ninja 400 and rc 390, what do you dislike about them? A video/comment on why the 500r takes the top spot for ya?
The 400 is physically smaller looks n feels cheap (out of the box) You know when someone is driving a 400 (looks small) n sounds like a lawn mover, the RC 390 looks cool but the 500 is faster. Way more Torque and more Top speed,bigger tires and better brakes.
Great videa, I totally agree, I have the 2002 cbr since september and I love this bike. May I ask you what you use to fix your phone on the bike? I see it is quite stable, seems work well. Thanks :)
Debating between CBR500R vs CBR650R . Ideally want to keep the bike for 4-5 years , what do you think? driven in the past some 300's but that was years ago, i'm also a manual car driver for 10+years
Considering you have some experience and are looking for something to enjoy for 4-5 years I'd likely lean more towards the 650R, for me personally. It's tough, they are both fantastic bikes and both could keep you entertained for years, haha!
@@IamLation i would say tho ii'm definitely feeling like a true beginner even tho i am a car manual driver. Do you still think CBR650 R is still a great choice? definitly i'm not like people that buy 1000 cc for their first bike
Yeah I definitely get ya, I’ve heard of plenty of people also starting out on the 650R as well so it’s certainly not uncommon and if you want something you certainly won’t get bored of for years to come it’s a good choice. At the same time, if your a little nervous about it there’s no harm in grabbing the 500R. I been riding this for over a year and still far from bored on it. It does everything I want. And if you ever do end up bored, they hold their value pretty well and often sought after so it’s usually an easy sell to recapture some of the money. Just some thoughts for ya!
@@IamLation what's the cruising rpm at 85mph on your bike? i will do quite of bit of highway driving and would want the more comfortable/more stable one ( so revs should be lower instead of chocking the motorcycle)
At 85 it’s up there, not terrible but definitely on the higher end. If you will be doing a bit of highway driving then another reason to go for the 650 maybe for more of that top end range
Yammie hates Hondas. He's heels over head for Porsche though🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cbr 500 is a fantastic starter if you're new. I started on a cbr 650f but I'm an old fuck and less crazy these days
Lovely video, helped a lot! But what is your opinion on the Honda CBR 650R. Im pretty much of a beginner and only had an very old 125 (max. 60mph). Now I really wanna start driving a lot more and I just can't decide wether I buy a 500R or a 650R. Is the 650R a good beginner aswell? I am a bit concerned about it being too powerful/heavy for beginners.
That's a tough decision for sure. If you're already a rider and got experience and all that no harm in just going for the 650R if you prefer it. I haven't ridden it personally so can't comment too much on it, but if you're new to riding I would recommend going with the 500R. I've been riding it for over a year now and am yet to get bored of it to be honest.
There’s actually not that big of difference between ninja 250 vs cbr500r. I’ve had both. Cbr is torqy and a little more fun and easier to ride on highway than 250. I would say I’d never get bigger bike than this if the exhaust was better. It’s grunty but dies down on the top end even with after market exhausts.
To be honest it feels like night and day for me from the 250 to the 500, but it’s probably largely due to the weight difference. Just overall feels so much better to me and certainly more torquey I agree
250 moved with the wind on highways 500 is very firm on highway and also it doesn’t feel like you are pushing 500 to it’s limit to ride on highway where 250 needed to be pushed a lot more with no passing power at all. I’d say 500 is good for beginners and experienced riders. It just needs a better exhaust nodes.
Completely understandable to be antsy, but one thing to note is this is indeed a beginner bike so it’s pretty forgiving if your still on the learning curve of shifting and stuff. The tough thing about starting to ride is you can learn the ins & outs flawlessly through RUclips videos etc but only through actually getting on the bike and doing it do you begin to truly get it. It takes practice and practice takes time. If you know anyone who knows how to ride bikes in your life, have them come around and guide you the first couple days until you build some confidence. Or if you can hop on a dirtbike or something is also great practice (for learning shifting, not great practice for actually riding on roads, etc). I’m not sure if any of this is good advice but any questions you may have let me know I’m more than happy to help as much as I can!
@@IamLation best advice I've gotten all day brother😭 everyone is trying to say get a 250, 300. But I grew up on a 125, and I'm 20 now so I'm sure I'd get tired of that quickly. I'm working as much as I can, just to get my baby. Thank you for the advice man.
I’m glad! And yeah I started on the 250 myself, despite having years of riding dirtbike experience etc. But to be honest, I sold it within just a couple months. It does absolutely get boring reaaaally quick. The 500 is perfect, you’ll be happy no doubt.
If possible I’d recommend the street if you have a quiet, off-the-beaten-path residential road you could use nearby. I take my bike on dirt roads quite often but it’s like riding on ice to be honest, traction and all that is just horrible so probably not the best kind of terrain to practice on. Would definitely try to find a relaxed street/area or anything with solid ground, if possible! If not, work with what you got but keep that in mind, it adds a level of sketchy for sure hahah but not impossible
Also, you can't really believe anything Yamminoob says, cause the dude crossed the double yellow on a corner and crashed head-on to a porche 🤷♂
LOL

Start with the 500. It's stable and not too powerful. The 650R can be your next step up. It's mild for a 4-cylinder but way too much for a newbie.
I’ve never ride a motorcycle before is this a ok option
Yea it’s weighty but power delivery is low ish…I’m getting mine soon and can give u my opinion when I do
Massive debate with myself of whether to go for t he 500 or 650r. it's a hard choice lmao.
That's a tough decision for sure. If you're already a rider and got experience and all that no harm in just going for the 650R if you prefer it.

Or if you can hop on a dirtbike or something is also great practice (for learning shifting, not great practice for actually riding on roads, etc). I’m not sure if any of this is good advice but any questions you may have let me know I’m more than happy to help as much as I can!
@@IamLation best advice I've gotten all day brother😭 everyone is trying to say get a 250, 300. But I grew up on a 125, and I'm 20 now so I'm sure I'd get tired of that quickly. I'm working as much as I can, just to get my baby. Thank you for the advice man.
I’m glad! And yeah I started on the 250 myself, despite having years of riding dirtbike experience etc. But to be honest, I sold it within just a couple months. It does absolutely get boring reaaaally quick. The 500 is perfect, you’ll be happy no doubt.
@@IamLation BIG QUESTION. Forgot to ask should I get the bike and practice on my dirtroad and in my Field and then do the course/ skills test?
If possible I’d recommend the street if you have a quiet, off-the-beaten-path residential road you could use nearby. I take my bike on dirt roads quite often but it’s like riding on ice to be honest, traction and all that is just horrible so probably not the best kind of terrain to practice on. Would definitely try to find a relaxed street/area or anything with solid ground, if possible! If not, work with what you got but keep that in mind, it adds a level of sketchy for sure hahah but not impossible
CBR500F. Basically a naked 500R
Yammie Noob is always wrong. He's just an opinionated snob. The CBR500R is a great bike for anyone who just wants one.
Heck yeah it is
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is a way better option, not only financially but all around.
Yammie is always wrong.
Hahah
We never see the actual bike. How do we know what hes actually riding lmao
LOL
