    New Honda CBR500 & CBR300 classification?

    I'm guessing the new 2013 Honda CBR500 will fit into the Lightweight class in CCS/LRRS and the 2013 Honda CBR300 will fit into Ultra Lightweight class. Anyone guessing how the CBR500 gonna stack up against the SV650? How is it in power and weight compared to the SV? Anyone think this is gonna be a competitive bike in that class? If the production twins class (EX500) is dead, what will be the top bike of choice for the ultra lightweight class, honda rs125, yamaha rd125, honda CBR300?

    The SV will SMOKE the CBR. Heck the latest issue of motorcyclist has the Kawi 300 beating it.

    yeah, the CBR500 was made with the same thought process as the NX700... economical, fun motorcycling.
