New CBR500, and CB500 Leaked

[Bikermole]

Whilst taking a daily trip to the Visordown website, I found this story

This is very interesting to me, as I love the way my bike handles, but I often wish I had a bit more power.

This could be the answer for me.

And the idea of the naked bike is quite mouthwatering, its been said to closely resemble a 500cc Hornet.

Add this to the Ninja 300 anounced last week, I think the new licence changes are doing great things for the new bike industry. Let's just hope these bikes are reasonably priced!

I hate to big myself up, but i did say this would happen!

Very interesting, I reckon a 'CBR500' that was cheap to insure and good on fuel would sell like hotcakes.

I like it. I like it a lot. I have a strong feeling it won't come into the US market though. Seems like everyone here wants at least a 600 to start on. :-\

so awesome, just like the Ninja 300, these smaller CC bikes would be so much fun to ride
