Honda CMX500 (Rebel) coming to Aus

I was told about this a few weeks ago when chatting with one of the sales guys at my local Honda dealer.
It looks a little more basic compared to the bigger Kawasaki Vulcan S, and less polarising too I guess.
I like the look of it, it just needs something done about that exhaust. The only question is - red or silver?

Definitely red.
Silver is a lie, its actually grey.

If I were looking for a custom-styley-kind-of-a-thing, it would have to be an XV950

It's a very nice red they use, but they don't colour the rear fender, just the tank.

I see Honda Canada is offering both the 500 and 300 for 2017. I would be all over the 300 model in pearl white for about $4800 cdn (about the same as aus dollars) except after spending 8 hours shifting a Fuller Roadranger 18 speed in an urban environment in my Kenworth, the last thing I want to do is click any more gears.

CAD and AUS dollars might be roughly the same converted against the USD, but the markets are most certainly not.
We won't be getting the CMX/Rebel 300 here, but for reference the 500cc will start from $9000AUD plus on roads. o_O
The CB(R)500F/X/R go for $8000AUD with on roads during promotions, otherwise on roads are an additional cost.
You might be able to get a PCX out the door for $4800 here, while the Forza is usually $7000-7500AUS plus on roads.

pcx 2017 listed here at msrp $4000- out the door $4800 cdn.
rebel 300 listed msrp 4800- out the door $5800?
the devil is in the details I guess. That fine print gets you every time.
My brother just bought a 2016 CRF250L msrp $5000 cdn, after financing and all the other fees-taxes over $7000 out the door,
it is a cruel world out there when someone decides to buy and then left to absorb all the hidden costs.
Grrr!

In Malaysia, the Rebel 500 would be RM31,798. Not including insurance.
