Hey, Sean, I sold my 2007 Yamaha Silverado 1100 and bought a 2018 Rebel 500. I'm 74 years old and been riding different bikes for 55+ years. THIS BIKE IS NOT ONLY A BEGINNER BIKE, BUT A WELL SORTED COMPACT MOTORCYCLE THAT GOES LIKE HELL. I'm not apologetic about the bike when me and my buds (all have 1100 bikes) go on 800+ mile trips, this baby keeps the pace, but I end up more relaxed at the end of the trip because I'm not hauling around extra weight. I commited the sin of adding a windshield (not pretty, but comfortable), a cool, inexpensive exhaust, and a custom tailight, now it's my custom. You guys keep up the good work on these videos and Honda you keep up the good work too. Ride on, Bros!

Its crazy that entry-level bikes are now 500+ CC. I started on a BMW F700GS (Detuned 800CC) and just switched to a 1870CC Harley Breakout 114. I will say something though, even though I passed my Harley academy test etc (We don't have MSF where I live), I wish I had a small Ninja 250,300 or 400 sometimes to just throw it around without the "fear of weight" and learn faster and ride more often.

@STho205 6 лет назад

That's to get the price up. The big manufacturers don't want to sell ANYTHING less than $4800, so super size it. The teen market really has no logical real bike under 25hp and for a few thousand ($2000 or under used) until they reintroduced the CB125 this year. However you must jump from 125 to 300/500 for street standards.

@manny75586 6 лет назад

I really like the look of it. Honda is kinda going with the Lotus method of power. Lightweight with enough power. Wet the Rebel is under 370 lbs. An Indian Scout 60 is over 600 lbs. it has about 28-30 more HP than the Rebel 500. It’s going to waste 20 of them on the extra 200+ lbs. Both are thought of as beginner bikes. I’d argue the Honda is a little more clickable at that light weight. Decent little bike, especially for the money.

@stevomcsteve9492 6 лет назад

Don't even try to compare the scout 60 to the POS Honda rebel. Like comparing a Honda Fit to a mustang GT...Less power than the Scout 69 but like 3 times the hp of the Rebel...SMH

Victory Magnum 106 cu.in. 88bhp but best of all 5.95 gal gas tank and a 6 speed. Since the brand was discontinued I cut a deal with a local dealer to buy up his inventory that would fit or adapt to my bike. (No, none of it is for sale) Fast enough to pass when ever I desire, slow enough to not race sports bikes.... man has to know his limitations to keep both wheels on the road.

I've ran through the thought in my head of selling the Harley and getting a rebel 500, but just can part with my Harley.

Nice review. I particularly like the words of wisdom segment. I'm seriously thinking of learning how to ride. I live in Mass.

I like the Vulcan S and the Harley Sportster. I looked at naked bikes, sport bikes but I think I would prefer cruisers and touring bikes. I know people hate on the Honda Goldwing but after watching a video review of the 2019 model, I was wowed by how refined it is. I'm probably going to take a safety course and get the endorsement on my license. I can drive a stick shift so that should help, maybe? Thanks for the video, cheers!

If I walked into a dealership to buy a completely different bike, and they had this in marshmallow peeps yellow, I might impulse buy it.

I know the old 250 weren't fast but they where so darn reliable they where small men who just start riding and wemen.they where great for cheep bikes to see if you like motorcycles

The the thumbnail says “sad day for the rebel.” Is that just click bait, or was there a negative part of the review left on the cutting room floor? 😜 seriously, great review. I’m salivating over the Vulcan 900 but, the rebel 500 looks lovely too.

@susiastary6714 5 лет назад

which one is the best motorcycles for beginners ? 1. Ducati Scrambler sixty2, 2. HD Street 500, or 3. this ??

@dy14nk69 5 лет назад

I would say this bike... just because it’s by far the most reliable

@Deathinappalachia 5 лет назад

I'd take the Honda over the Duc or HD for a new rider or as a commuter any day. The Street 500 is heavier, and makes less power. The Rebel 500 isn't a rocket - but it's plenty petty for highway riding. And the Honda will be more reliable, with less maintenance than either of the other two.

Happy to hear you like the rebel! I bought a rebel 500 as my first bike last July. I use it as an every day commuter in philly. I love it but don't have anything to compare it to. I want another bike but don't want to sell my rebel. I may just keep it long term, customize it a little and get another bike to start a stable.

@TBullCajunbreadmaker 6 лет назад

Don't sell your 500. You will regret it before it is out of your hands. When it's gone it is gone and you will move on a wish you would have never sold your fun bike. I bought a CX 500 when they first came out in the late 70's, one like Shawn was talking about except it was set up as a cafe bike and it was by far the most fun bike I think I ever owned. It never failed and it took all of the abuse a 21 year old guy could dish out. You will regret it forever.

@dravenweber4904 5 лет назад

Personally I don’t like the rebel 500 ergonomically as much as the 300 version. For one simple reason, and that is that on the 500, the side case on the transmission sticks way the hell out and is lopsided off to the right side of the bike, and makes you have to awkwardly push your right leg further out than your left.

@dentistguba 5 лет назад

The best thing is probably the new steep fork angle so you can actually go round corners, along with the fat tyres.

Had an 81 or 82 cm250. Belt drive precursor to the rebel. Essentially the same engine but was changed slightly when they made it into the rebel. Had 30k+ miles when I bought it and rode it to work daily in the coldest weather you can possibly ride in (sometimes 20 degrees on the way to work). Started and ran every single time. Did the highway just fine. Such underrated bikes. Best 650$ I ever spent 😂
