They don't have anything that matches up exactly, but they are promoting the NC700X and its variants to play a similar role. A cheap ($6999), fuel-efficient, fun do-it-all bike for people who don't want a supersport or a larger touring bike.
Their marketing blurb from that link: Quote:

That cbr600f is a beauty. I'd buy that for sure.
The nc700x is nice, but not for me. Looked at it in person, and would much rather have a ninja 650. |

Curious of pricing as that would be one of the deciding factors for me if I jumped to this beauty. But if its closer in price to the 600 I'll wait.

I don't really understand why? In fact I don't understand why anyone would pick a CBR 500 over a Ninja 300, especially as a starter bike. The CBR500 will slot between the Ninja 300 and Ninja 650 in price. If all you wanted was more power, why not spend a little extra money and get a properly exciting sporty bike like the Ninja 650. If you just want to learn, a Ninja 300 is a much better platform to learn on then a bike which is heavier and more expensive and not much faster. If you want to race, both the Ninja 300 and CBR 500 are horrible choices, as there is no 300 or 500 racing class - you are better off on a used Ninja 250 or a supersport 600.

The current racing class for twins is 650cc, the ER6f & SV are both far more powerful & sports orientated. look at the supertwin class in the IOMTT. The 500 is a bike designed to fill a specific market slot (EU A2 class, 395-600cc & below 35kW) as cheaply & quickly as possible. |

The 500 is a twin, 600's are inline 4's. The 500 is a sport, with comfy ride, standard fork, etc. 600 is a supersport with inverted forks, massive brakes, and a very rigid frame, set up for full-on racetrack aggression. |

while all this wait has grown my desire to own one of these, it's also made me re-consider buying new. Not sure if building anticipation is a good thing or a bad thing overall for them...

Sure it's only a 500 but it wieghs as much as the 1000 so why do they insist on single rotor 2 piston caliper brakes? Is it to much to ask for dual 4 piston 300mm brakes?

With a good pilot, sv1000's are a tough customer, even for an R6. You have to pass em on entry and get a really good drive out or they will motor you on exit.

Maybe now the incessent whining will stop from people who wanted a 250 but "just a little more power". Now between Honda and Kawasaki they have you covered from 250 to 300 to 500 to 650. What's your excuse now?

looks like the naked one will be coming to the states too! i want to see power numbers.
although, with a potential house purchase in my near future, a used SV650 might be a better financial decision. |

Yeah, even I found the lack of power figures to be weird... Maybe they will have different power numbers for the uk and other markets? Considering the uk A2 license norms...
