That is true & due to the square engine it has.
Bore & Stroke of the 500 is 67.0 x 66.8
Basically what we call a square engine.

aka: non reving torque oriented engine. Good for some but
not what many sport riders like

A good indication is always what is the final number of b/s
In this Honda 500 engines case 67.0/66.8= 1.0

Look at a Ninja 300 ...Bore 62 Stroke 49
62/49= 1.26

Usually anything 1 & below is considered a torque oriented bike

Panigale is 112 x 60.8 = 1.84 definitely designed for horsepower & revs like 12,000 rpm.

Or a Honda 600RR is 67/42.5= 1.59
