Honda Fireblade SP Discontinued? Rebel 500 Also Missing Online

Honda has quietly removed the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and the Rebel 500 from its India website, surprising buyers who were still exploring these recently launched models. The change suggests a shift in availability, even though Honda hasn’t issued an official statement yet.

Removed From the Honda India Website

Both the Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 no longer appear on Honda’s BigWing website. Their removal indicates that the initial launch stock may have been exhausted, leading Honda to temporarily pull the listings until further clarity on future batches.

Limited Units Imported and Sold Out

Dealership sources confirm that Honda imported these motorcycles in limited numbers. All units allocated to BigWing outlets across India have already been sold, leaving no inventory for new buyers. This mirrors Honda’s approach with earlier premium models that were introduced in small batches.

Honda’s Pattern With Short-Run Launches

Honda has a history of offering select premium bikes for a short period in India. Models like the CB300R and CBR650F were launched and later paused or discontinued once their initial batches were sold. The current situation with the Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 aligns with this pattern.

Will They Return in 2026?

It’s unclear whether Honda will reintroduce the Fireblade SP or Rebel 500 next year. Updated versions of both models are expected globally in 2026, so Honda may consider another limited release depending on demand and supply plans.

What Buyers Should Know

New buyers cannot book these models at the moment, but existing owners remain unaffected. Those still interested may have to wait for the next batch or updated versions if Honda decides to bring them back.
