Ride the CRSOOR and you'll
swear it's a rocket
And you won't be far off.

The CRSOOR's engine is
tuned for a strong, broad powerband. With excellent low-end
punch and strong mid-range
pulling power. And, thanks
to the sheer displacement
of the engine, it's got
terrific power up top, too.
So you can ace the
holeshot. Take the tight
inside line and blast out
of the turn. Or keep the
heat on in fast sweepers.
There's more, too.

The CR500R benefits from
Team Honda's years of winning
championships. And the result is
an exceptionally light, exceptionally good-handling open-dass
motocrosser.
This year, the strong, rigid
semi-double cradle frame is
reinforced and lighter. It has a
removable rear section for easy
access to the air cleaner and
shock. And the extruded aluminum swing arm rides on needle
bearings.
A works-type fuel tank is
specially designed to lower the
center of gravity.
The suspension system
offers adjustability to suit virtually any track or any rider-and
smooth, precise performance
that lets you make the most of
your ability.
