Honda CBR500R, Kawasaki Ninja 400, CFMoto 450 SS—what do all these bikes have in common apart from being small-displacement sportbikes? Well, they all essentially gave birth to a wide selection of models based on their respective platforms.
Honda’s CB500 range of bikes comes in sport, naked, adventure, and even cruiser flavors, and so too does Kawasaki’s 400 (now 500) and CFMoto’s 450 line. All this is living proof that the small-displacement segment is where it’s at right now, and the growing number of new models from both big and emerging brands is clearly making it the fastest-growing segment, possibly in the entire motorcycle industry.
