The low-middleweight bike class will see some stir in 2013 as it looks like customers have become more and more preoccupied with the ever-increasing petrol prices, and are looking for fuel-efficient, budget-oriented vehicles.

The CBR500 is just one of the three 469cc bikes to be showcased at the EICMA in Milan, Italy, this week. The CBR500 is backed up by the CBR500R and the CB500X. All three bikes share the same platform, but they address different types of potential customers. With the CB500X having the best prospects to sell in North America, we'll just have to see how the other two bikes will fare on American ground.

As for the European markets, the CB500X will surely be a hit, as the riders here are indeed fond of such all-rounder machines for daily commuting.
