MotoGearRater published an analysis on August 8, 2026 tracking how US motorcycle prices moved between 2020 and 2025. Honda's Rebel 500 barely budged, from $6,199 to $6,499, while Indian's Scout jumped 18.2%, from $10,999 to $12,999 — evidence, the site argues, that the entry-level market has frozen while the premium end keeps climbing.

From a market standpoint, these numbers are telling. Indian's Scout climbed 18.2% in five years while Honda's Rebel 500 barely moved. What the numbers show is a split — the entry level frozen solid, only the premium end still climbing. It's the same pattern I see worldwide.

Didn't know the Street Glide basically got a real-terms discount.

Glad the entry-level bikes aren't the ones getting hiked.

Five years and the gap's already this wide — sign of the times.

Kinda weak they don't even mention inflation.

Heard BMW's GS jumped similarly, so it's probably industry-wide.

Scout up 18%? At least entry-level held the line.

Rebel 500 went $6,199 to $6,499, basically flat.
