    4 Stars Honda CR500R Review 18/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very, Very Powerful, Grips well, easily maintained.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costly, heavy bike, very high.

    Well, where do I start. This bike is not for the fainthearted! Drop the clutch in at 4th gear and it still boasts enough power to get a wheelie going! I paid £3400 for my bike back in 2005, and since then the bike has had no problems whatsoever. The only things being the chain and the sprockets that wore abit due to this bikes power. This bike is rather heavy, and feels heavy when ridden. It is also very loud, so not for beginners. The engine runs very smoothly. Starts first time, EVERY time. Requires basic maintainance, which is easily done. I would recommend this bike to many people, however ... more

    Advantages Advantages massive power ! wheelies no problem !

    Disadvantages Disadvantages poor handling ! expensive to repair ! can cause fatal injuries in the wrong hands !

    if you thinking about buying this bike theres 1 thing you need to do first write a will and leave you children the money for your funeral !! i have ridden a friends machine which is fully standard and the bike is mental !!! your constantly fighting to keep the front end down whilst drawing the throttle back and ripping into powerband.this bike is bullet proof alongside the right maintenance frequent services should keep the engine clean and running smoothly. this bike will keep you on your tip toes be careful with the power through the bends this bike wont think twice about spitting you off or ... more

    5 Stars Honda CR 500 RE, air cooled, 1984. Review with images 09/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Buckets of power, bullet proof engine, great fun.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Arm pump, neck ache, chains and sprockets, frames can crack on heavy landings.

    I bought this bike in 1995, after being left a few bob by my lovely Gran' who sadly died in 94 (will always love her to bits for helping me out ) But I'm sure she'd be turning in her grave if she knew half of what I'd spent her hard earned cash on ! One of those things I know she hated most would have been the CR 500 ! . Well ... you know what it's like , you've always wanted something, now you have the cash......... I wasn't going to invest it in a pension !. *** The Dealer*** Me and a good mate of mine, had always wanted something mad and powerful , off road, having dabbled a bit in the past ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages loads of power,wheelies for miles with little effort

    Disadvantages Disadvantages it can cause serious injury if pushed too hard!

    This bike is up there with the KX500 and Maico 490!It kicks out 65bhp,which may not sound a lot,but it makes around 100ib/ft of torque... It is not a bike for novices.My brother,who has been riding bikes for years,crashed it badly and broke his back!He is now fine.But what a bike!It will wheelie off the throttle from tickover,and has been known to get up on the back wheel in 5th gear when opening up from half throttle!! It will say bye-bye to any 125 and most 250s.what the CR500 is very good for is big jumps and hillclimbs.It could get up any hill on broxburn bing,where i usually ride,whereas ... more
