Honda Motorcycle & Scooters India had recently launched the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and the Rebel 500 in the Indian market. However, the motorcycles have already been removed from the Japanese automaker's official website. This follows the removal of the CB300R from the brand's website.
It is unclear why Honda has taken the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 off its website. One possibility is that these motorcycles were available in limited numbers in the Indian market. This approach is often used for high-end bikes that are imported as completely built units (CBUs). These bikes are imported in batches and may run out of stock if all available units have already been reserved.

In such a case, the manufacturer may decide to temporarily remove these products from their website. It's likely that the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and Rebel 500 have been taken down because the available stock might be sold out. If that's the situation, these bikes may become available again once new stock arrives. However, there has been no official statement regarding this.
