Honda just added the Rebel to the Japanese lineup. It will be sold there in 250 and 500 versions. They have strict license and tax schemes for motorcycles{and cars} over there so the displacement is critical. One of the most popular brackets seems to be the 250 so it should sell well. The 500 might struggle a bit in sales since it is at the bottom of the top bracket{over 400cc}.

Here are the pages -

I can see this doing very well since the Japanese have always done well in accepting things with American influence. It goes so deep that some of the American cars they important will impress a lot of us.

Really surprised they never sold this bike in Japan to begin with.

You're commenting on a post that dates back to April 2017, more or less when the new Rebel was first launched...

Yep. Didn't bother checking the date did I?
