Great paintjob for the 2022 CBR500R! And twin brakes, Basil!

So did you bring it home? I'm thinking Honda did the CBR500R(?) in Red, White, and Blue awhile back. Maybe back in when they first brought them out?

No but I was tempted. The improvements Honda made are significant and have brought this bike back on my short list.

Yes there's a red, white, and blur. It's an older model. May be 2015 or 2016? The engine is the same. Suspension and brakes have been updated for 2022. The styling has been freshened up as well. Fit and finish is high.
 
Just scored a used 22 R. We’ll see how this goes...
This is my 4th attempt at an H500, 13R, 15X, 19x. I’ve been on record bashing the early R as not a sport bike, and the X was the best implementation of this engine. The 19X changed my mind on these with the remapped engine. Now let’s see if they actually put some “sport” into this thing.

Pics later
 
Only able to get about 100mi in so far.
It’s softly sprung for my tastes, the front brakes are sublime! It seems to rev quicker
