CB500s at 2026 Cookstown 100 :

CB500 Hondas, a favourite at mainland events, are now cleared to compete in the LWSS class at MCUI(UC) events and will appear at the Bear Competitions Cookstown 100 Road Races.

Throttle wide open; CB500 Hondas roar into action at Bear Competitions Cookstown 100 road races.

A question that I have been asked on a number of occasions is, are ‘CB500 Hondas’ allowed to compete at the Bear Competitions Cookstown 100 Road Races? The answer is a resounding YES! CB500 Hondas are officially permitted to race and will run within the Lightweight Supersport (LWSS) class.

This is a great opportunity for CB500 owners and riders to experience the pleasure of road racing at one of Ireland’s most exciting events. We are actively encouraging anyone with a CB500 Honda who is interested in competing to submit their entry for the Cookstown 100. Whether you’re an experienced racer or inexperienced with the roads, this is your chance to join this legendary event. Don’t miss out on the chance to line up on the grid and showcase what the CB500 can do on the roads!
