Check out the spanking new bikes from the Honda stables set to hit the roads very, very soon.

Honda has unveiled three hot motorcycles which are all powered by the same engine and get similar underpinnings too. These 500cc machines are targeted at those who are looking for a friendly bike with usable power.

The CBR500R, CB500X and CB500F are full-faired, adventure and naked motorcycles respectively.

All these bikes are powered by a 500cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine which produces around 50 BHP of power. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

All the 500cc motorcycles have 120 section tyres at the front and 160 section tyres at the rear. ABS is offered as an option and the front sports telescopic forks, while the rear gets Honda's pro-link monoshock.
