Honda announced that the new SCL500 “scrambler”-style motorcycle is coming to the U.S. market. Honda says the SCL500 “is a nod to Honda’s rich history, dating all the way back to the 1960s when the CL72 and CL77 were offered.” The SCL500 is based on the Rebel 500 platform.
Based on the Rebel 500 platform, the all-new SCL500 scrambler is a nod to Honda’s history.
“More than any manufacturer, Honda has consistently demonstrated an ability to deliver fun, retro motorcycles that scratch a nostalgic itch while offering the performance and reliability for which Honda is so well known,” said Brandon Wilson, American Honda Manager of Sports & Experiential. “That’s the case with the all-new SCL500, and we’re confident it will be a hit with American customers.”
The SCL500 features key “scrambler” styling elements—upright riding position, high-routed exhaust, block tires, ample suspension travel and a retro aesthetic. And, of course, many accessories will be offered for the SCL500, which will be available in June with a $6799 MSRP. CN
