Thailand has received a Honda Rebel 500
Bobber Supreme Edition. The new Honda Rebel 500 Bobber Supreme Edition features
numerous parts that give it a more retro look. These new elements set the Rebel
500 Bobber Supreme Edition apart from the regular version of the motorcycle.
To begin with, there is a new black
headlight cover or headlight mask that hides all the cables and makes things tidy.
The high-quality fork gaiters, together with the headlight mask, add a retro
touch to the motorbike. To carry forward this visual appeal, there is a brown
seat with a diamond pattern on it. A new radiator grille protects the radiator
without compromising on the aesthetics. Other new parts of the Rebel 500 Bobber
Supreme Edition include brake fluid reservoir cap, black engine crash guard and
special fuel tank cap.
Honda is also providing many suitable
accessories for the new Rebel 500 Bobber Supreme Edition. There is a black seat
option with the same diamond pattern as that on the brown seat, pillion seat
with the fittings for the rear footrests, saddlebag and pannier stays along
with the bags themselves, and a rear luggage rack.
Apart from the visual changes, the new
Honda Rebel 500 Bobber Supreme Edition is the same motorcycle as the regular
Honda Rebel 500. So features like the LED headlight, LED taillight, single-pod
digital instrument cluster, uniquely-shaped fuel tank, alloy wheels, exhaust,
suspension and braking setup, rearview mirrors, etc., can also be found in it.
The Rebel 500 Bobber Supreme Edition uses
the same 471 cc liquid-cooled engine that powers the regular motorbike. This
parallel-twin engine comes with a DOHC setup and produces around 45.55
PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm of maximum torque at 6,500 rpm. It
is linked to a 6-speed transmission along with a slipper and assist clutch.
Only 100 units of the Honda Rebel 500
Bobber Supreme Edition are available. The bike is priced at THB 235,300 Thai
Baht. In comparison, the regular version of the Rebel 500
retails at 222,780 Thai Baht and is available in three colour
options - Mat Jeans Blue Metallic, Mat Armoured Silver Metallic and Graphite
Black.
