In fact the top of the line CBR1000RR sportsbike also features the same bore and stroke size, meaning the new 250 CC and 500 CC engines\u2019 designs could be derived from the 1000RR\u2019s in-line 4 cylinder motor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"2012 Honda CB500R, CB500 and CB500X\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ridetalks.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-Honda-CB500R-CB500-and-CB500X.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Honda CB500R, CB500 and CB500X\" width=\"659\" height=\"659\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some of the innovative features that would be making their way into the 500 CC engine are a new cylinder sleeve for better heat dissipation, roller rocker cam followers etc. The engine will come mated to a 6 speed gearbox and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carblogindia.com\/abs-anti-lock-braking-system-and-ebd-electronic-brake-force-distribution-in-plain-english\/\" target=\"_blank\">ABS<\/a> will be available as optional on all the three motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the toughest competitors for the motorcycle will be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridetalks.com\/news\/tag\/kawasaki\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kawasaki<\/a> Ninja 400R and the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridetalks.com\/news\/tag\/ktm\/\" target=\"_blank\">KTM<\/a> Duke 390.
