    Honda Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 Removed From Website – Discontinued?

    by

    Honda Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 Discontinued?Since there is no official notification, it is unclear why the two bikes have been removed from Honda’s website
    Honda had launched the Rebel 500 in India earlier this year in May at a starting price of Rs 5.12 lakh. This was the first time the Rebel 500 was introduced in the Indian market. In comparison, versions of Honda CBR1000RR-R have been available in India for several years. The latest model, Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, was reintroduced in India in September 2025. Interestingly, both bikes have now been removed from Honda’s website. Let’s check out the details.
    Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, Rebel 500 removed from website
    It is not clear why exactly Honda has removed the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 from its website. One possibility is that these bikes were available in limited numbers for the Indian market. This is often the strategy used for premium bikes that are imported as completely built units (CBUs). These are imported in batches and may face an out-of-stock situation in case all available units are already booked.
    In this situation, the OEM may choose to temporarily remove such products from their website. It is possible that the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 have been removed from the website, as the available units may be sold out. In that case, the bikes may reappear, as and when the stocks are replenished. However, there is no official confirmation.
    Honda CB1000RR-R Fireblade SP
    There could be some technical reasons too or supply chain issues that may have prompted the removal of CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and Rebel 500. Earlier this month, Honda had also removed the CB300R from its website. In this case also, it is not clear if the bike has been discontinued or a new version is being planned. Low sales could also be a reason for the discontinuation of Honda CB300R.
    Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, Rebel 500 – Performance, specs
    Powering the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is a 999cc, liquid-cooled inline-four engine that generates 215 hp and 113 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter and ride-by-wire throttle. The bike utilizes a lightweight aluminium diamond frame, which helps enhance the bike’s power-to-weight ratio.
    Users can access a wide range of electronic rider aids such as a six-axis IMU. It has functions such as launch control, wheelie control and multi-level traction control. Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP utilizes Brembo Stylema callipers and Ohlins suspension at the front and rear. The bike rivals the likes of Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and BMW S 1000 RR.
    Honda Rebel 500
    Honda Rebel 500 gets power from a 471cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 8-valve, parallel twin-cylinder engine. It generates 45.60 hp and 43.3 Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike has telescopic front forks and Showa dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking setup comprises 296 mm and 240 mm disc brakes at the front and rear, respectively. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.
    With a seat height of just 690 mm, the Honda Rebel 500 is designed for optimal control and handling. It can be easy to manoeuvre even at slow speeds. In the Indian market, Honda Rebel 500 competed with the likes of Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and Kawasaki Vulcan S. More

      If you are looking at the 160 Duke, Hero offers Xtreme 250R for Rs 1.66 lakh (Ex-sh), making it the bargain of the decade. If we go by neo retro approach and the Rs 1.5 lakh price point, Yamaha XSR 155 also rivals Jawa 42, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin. Let’s see where XSR 155 falls on paper against these rivals.
      KTM 160 Duke
      Yamaha XSR 155 vs Rivals
      Starting with powertrains, one thing is immediately evident that it is Hero Xtreme 250R with the highest power at 29.6 bhp, while XSR 155 has the lowest power figure of 18.1 bhp. However, one has to account weight and the power : weight ratio puts XSR 155 ahead of its immediate rival 160 Duke, Ronin and Hunter 350. It trails behind Xtreme 250R and Jawa 42.

Surprisingly, Yamaha XSR 155 ground clearance is just 120 mm, as per company’s spec sheet. Highest ground clearance is offered by Ronin at 181 mm. Seat height is the lowest with Jawa 42, while XSR 155 emerges as the lightest bike in this comparo, which makes it very appealing.

      Honda CB1000 Hornet SP Recalled in India – Free Fix from January 2026

      by

      Honda CB1000 Hornet SP
      Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has announced a voluntary market recall campaign for select units of its premium CB1000 Hornet SP. The recall aligns with a global service action and affects motorcycles manufactured in 2025.
      What’s the Issue?
      According to Honda, excessive radiant heat from the exhaust system may soften the painted seat surface, which can indirectly cause the gear change pedal pivot bolt to loosen over time and potentially fall off. If this happens, riders may experience difficulty or inability to shift gears—a safety concern especially during high-speed or urban riding.
      Free Repair From January 2026
      As a precaution, Honda will inspect and replace the affected parts free of cost, irrespective of the motorcycle’s warranty status. The recall work will be carried out exclusively at Honda BigWing Topline dealerships across India starting January 2026. Honda says this proactive move reinforces the brand’s focus on customer trust, safety and ownership experience.
      How Owners Can Check if Their CB1000 Hornet SP Is Affected
      Honda and its BigWing dealers will contact customers via call, email and SMS starting today. Additionally, owners can check their VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on Honda’s official website. To avoid delays at dealerships, Honda advises customers to book their service appointment in advance.
      Honda CB750 Hornet packs a 755cc inline twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 90.5 bhp and 75 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, along with four riding modes — Sport, Standard, Rain and User. Sitting above it, the flagship Honda CB1000 Hornet SP uses a 999cc inline four-cylinder motor producing 155 bhp and 107 Nm, equipped with a slipper clutch, bi-directional quick-shifter, Honda Selectable Torque Control and five riding modes for a more performance-oriented setup. The CB1000 Hornet SP was launched in May this year, when it was priced at Rs 12.36 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. More

      by

      BMW F 450 GS TrophyIt is expected that BMW F 450 GS will be launched in India later this year or early 2026
      After the discontinuation of G 310 GS, BMW’s new entry-level offering in the adventure segment will be the F 450 GS. The new bike was recently unveiled at the 2025 EICMA. Ahead of its launch, which is expected soon, some dealerships have started accepting unofficial bookings. Let’s check out the details.
      BMW F 450 GS pre-bookings
      As per reports, select dealerships have started accepting unofficial bookings for the upcoming BMW F 450 GS. Depending on the dealership, the booking amount can be in the range of Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000. In the case of the discontinued G 310 GS, the pre-booking amount was Rs 50,000 in June 2018.
      BMW F 450 GS
      Although launch is expected soon, BMW has not provided any specific timeline. Dealers who are accepting unofficial bookings for F 450 GS are providing an unwritten assurance about giving priority delivery. BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured at the TVS facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.
      In addition to India, BMW F 450 GS will also be sold in European countries. The bike’s specifications are as per the mandates specified for A2 license holders in Europe. BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured exclusively in India and exported to overseas locations.
      BMW F 450 GS Trophy
      As per the BMW-TVS partnership, TVS will launch its own range of new bikes based on the 450cc platform. TVS-owned Norton too will have new bikes based on BMW’s 450cc platform. The complete range of Norton motorcycles is expected to be available in India. The first of these is expected to be launched next year in April.
      BMW F 450 GS – Performance, key features
      Powering the BMW F 450 GS is a new 450cc, twin-cylinder inline engine that produces 48 hp and 43 Nm of torque.

The bike has advanced tech features such as Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), ABS Pro and engine drag torque control (MSR).
      BMW F 450 GS Engine
      One of the key USPs of BMW F 450 GS is the Easy Ride Clutch (ERC). This is specially designed to help new riders, even though ERC can also be useful for experienced riders. ERC works with the Shift Assistant Pro to allow gearshifts without manually operating the clutch. However, users also have the freedom to manually engage the clutch whenever required. ERC improves comfort and ride dynamics and can be useful across both urban and off-road environments.
      With high localization, a competitive price point could be possible for BMW F 450 GS. BMW could introduce the F 450 GS in India at a starting price of around Rs 4 lakh to Rs 4.50 lakh. The bike will challenge rivals such as Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure. The TVS version of F 450 GS is likely to be offered at a more accessible price point. More
