2025 Honda CBR500R For Sale in Amsterdam, NY

The 2025 Honda CBR500R is the definitive “light-middleweight” sportbike, striking the perfect balance between track-inspired performance and real-world rideability. If you are looking to carve through the scenic twisties of Saratoga Springs, Gansevoort, or Wilton, this machine delivers an adrenaline-fueled experience without the punishing ergonomics of a liter-bike. Its aerodynamic bodywork—directly influenced by the flagship Fireblade—cuts through the wind on the Northway, while the standard Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and dual-disc ABS provide immense confidence when navigating the historic streets of Glens Falls or Queensbury. With a punchy 471cc parallel-twin engine, the CBR500R is as much a precision tool for the weekend enthusiast as it is a stylish, fuel-efficient commuter for anyone heading into Lake George or Fort Edward.

Engine: 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin; DOHC; four valves per cylinder with revised ECU settings for 2025.

Front Suspension: 41mm inverted Showa Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) for surgical front-end feel.

Braking: Dual 296mm front discs with four-piston radial-mount calipers and standard 2-channel ABS.

Technology: 5-inch full-color TFT display with Honda RoadSync for smartphone connectivity and navigation.

Drivetrain: Six-speed manual transmission with an assist/slipper clutch that reduces lever effort by 45%.

Weight & Dimensions: Manageable 421-pound curb weight and an accessible 31.1-inch seat height.

Fuel Capacity: 4.5-gallon tank providing exceptional range for long-distance North Country loops.

Staff Expert Tip: The Showa SFF-BP front forks on this bike are the real deal—they’re the same tech found on much more expensive supersports. They give you incredible stability and feedback when you’re leaning into the sweepers around Lake George.

What is the benefit of the slipper clutch on the CBR500R? The assist/slipper clutch makes the lever much easier to pull, which is a lifesaver in Saratoga summer traffic. It also prevents the rear wheel from hopping or locking up if you downshift aggressively entering a tight corner.

How does Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) help me as a rider? HSTC monitors rear-wheel slip and adjusts engine torque to maintain traction. This is especially helpful if you encounter loose gravel or wet patches while riding through the shaded mountain roads of the North Country.
