Here is the complete press release from Honda…
American Honda announced today that for the 2025 model year, its popular Rebel 1100 cruiser lineup receives important updates focused on comfort and convenience. The family also grows by one, with the addition of the Rebel 1100 DCT SE—a premium-level version that shines with a list of eye-grabbing features included as standard equipment, such as fork boots, handlebar-end rear-view mirrors, a color-matched headlight cowl, a short front fender, and a special seat.
“Since its 2021 debut, Honda’s Rebel 1100 platform has proven to be a big hit with American cruiser customers, so we’re excited to both improve and deepen the roster for 2025,” said Colin Miller, Manager of Public Relations at American Honda. “The entire platform now boasts more comfortable ergonomics, and the new Rebel 1100 DCT SE comes straight from the dealership with premium styling features. It’s clear that Honda values cruiser customers and takes their needs seriously.”
In addition to unveiling the Rebel 1100 platform, Honda confirmed the return of several other two-wheel models from five different categories: the head-turning Fury and timeless Shadow Phantom cruisers, the legendary Africa Twin and compact NX500 adventure bikes, the iconic XR650L dual-sport machine, the versatile CBR500R sport bike, and the stylish and affordable CB500F naked motorcycle.

From its clean, classic lines and low-slung riding position to its stretched wheelbase, the Fury embodies the look and feel of a one-off chopper—yet this machine’s superior performance and impressive handling capabilities are pure Honda. Combine all that with a high-performance 1,312cc V-twin engine, and it’s clear the Fury won’t be relinquishing its crown anytime soon.

The venerable Honda XR650L made its debut years ago, and the dual-sport icon has been making friends and influencing riders ever since. The rugged and reliable XR boasts an impeccable racing pedigree, having earned countless wins and podiums in the desert in general, and Baja in particular. And yet the legendary model remains an affordable, user-friendly option for riders who want to inject a little off-road action into what might otherwise be an uninspired daily commute. Versatile, dependable and with plenty of performance on tap, each XR650L has the potential to continue delivering the dual-sport goods for years to come.

With bodywork based on that of the 2024 MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championship-winning CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, the smaller CBR500R features a full fairing with winglets to optimize aerodynamics, and a capable, compact parallel-twin engine that delivers exciting-yet-manageable power. The model offers high-end sportbike styling, technology and performance at an accessible price.

2025 Honda CB500F
The value-conscious and sporty Honda CB500F is a perfect example of why the universal Japanese motorcycle (UJM, a concept that Honda helped to establish back in the ’70s) has been so popular for so long. With subtle-yet-aerodynamic styling, the CB500F naked bike is a capable, reliable machine that delivers an enjoyable riding experience for all comers. Chalk that up to its compact, lightweight chassis and proven 471cc twin-cylinder engine, which together make for a nimble-handling, smooth-accelerating ride, all packed in a stylish naked-bike design.
