John Anderson i think as Honda as an idea , had a good one on the rebel. But no matter how much i try when i see one close up it gives me the impression of an unfinished bike. Its like they start assembling it then all of a sudden they got fed up and rolled it out of the production line. They still have that horrible gap between the frame and the fuel tank. The radiator should a least installed longitudinaley instead, the old headlight look terrible cheap at least that is sorted and the that stupid round dash with a rectengular display..for god sake honda decide if it round or square but dont combine they together! ...anyway i’m sure it rides ok as a typical honda but damn they should really hire european designers for there motorcycles.
@@ripmax333 see, to me, these are all positives. i like this bike specifically because it looks like i'm riding it in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. if it looked finished i wouldn't be buying one
Nice to see you two look at ordinary affordable bikes as opposed to everyone talking about the Kawasaki H2, Africa Twin , Honda Firebalde that are totally unaffordable and unpractical for 95% of us.
@@konstantinw.1036 Bruh, those things are purely cosmetic. Makes no difference & by the time you mod it yourself you'll do most of those things anyway. I'd get the 2019, cause I got the 2019 & it's sick. Cheaper too.
Wow. I was going to get one for my wife and wow I am totally digging this bike, especially the updates, wow! Most exciting thing I've seen from eicma to me.
I had a 1985 Honda rebel that only had 500 miles on it when I bought it in late 90's. I regret having to sell it but I couldn't work and needed to pay bills. I miss my baby.
I was about to buy 2019 rebel in spring but i guess I;ll wait for 2020 model now, I'm really happy they added gear indicator because this is going to be my first bike:)
Same for me. I was gonna buy the 2019 model in the spring but I'm glad they're coming out with an improved model. This will also be my first bike as well
halfbloodxprince I haven’t decided yet. I was offered a 2019 Rebel 300 for only 3000$ it’s brand new with only 1 mike on it. Im wondering if the the 2020 version is worth the extra 1500$. That’s money I could use on gear, since riding gear isn’t exactly cheap.
@@2wheelife878 My friend who is a motorcycle expert, compared to me, told me I would get bored with a 300 and go with 500. Eventually the 300 would feel like riding a scooter. Can't wait! Good luck..
Same for me. I was looking between this one and the c50 (even tho the c50 is bigger and have more c.c. they both have the same HP). Now I just hope that they keep the same price in my country.
Finally Honda put on this bike what other bike manufacturers had for years. The previous model should have had a gear indicator as standard. The instrument panel was very crappy too.
My first ever bike was a CA125 Rebel back in the late 90's. As a twin cylinder 125 is had a lot.more performance and better style than the likes of the CG125 of the time.
@@Aescobar1005 are they for sure on the dates? I was thinking to wait but I might just pay for the course and if they delay, they delay- so be it. Did you get your own gear already too? (I got my Shoei RF 1200 and Rev'it Trench GTX jacket ready to go!)
I had scheduled to take it the 30th of this month but due to the circumstances it got postponed. They let us choose a date. I took to long to see the email and reply. So I got the last one which was June 20+21. Do it man! I think it’s worth it because you get the waiver on the spot(2nd day of the class) then go redeem it at the dmv. I was kinda mad that’s it so far away but I called my local bike dealership, Yamaha/Honda in Astoria and they’re not even opening till mid June they said. Damn I need to get a jacket like you! I got my Bell Broozer helmet coming in the mail soon and some grips. That’s about it
@@Aescobar1005 Alright I'll pay for the class. I need to get the permit still from DMV though in order to take the classes don't I? I think I'll push my class date out till June then also in hopes I can walk in a DMV and take the permit test in one shot. I saw the Bell Broozer, I got the 500 Shoei because it's quiet and has SNELL stamp of approval. I was warned that DOT crash test rating is easy to get and not the best for reliability in the event you take a fall. FortNine reviews goes into detail on that in some videos. Just be safe mate! I also check with some dealerships and they aren't ready yet. I might wait till off season in November or September to buy in cash a 2020 Rebel 500. Insurance is cheaper when you own the bike, plus there might be sales then with holidays coming up!
I wish they could have improved the Blinkers..Left blinkers nob on the left,and a right nob on the right side,reach it with the tumbs..not as it is like now,the left/right signal nob is on the left..
I wonder how many people compare the seating position to the CB500F? Most cruiser riders go for the looks; later they complain about the knee bend and that they get blown off the bike at 130+ km/h. :)
I think people should stop calling this a beginner’s bike just because it is comfortable to drive and not too costly. Does it mean expert riders prefer expensively priced uncomfortable bikes?
Any of you know where to buy that winshield or light front cover we see in this video? Or something similar? I am not convinced about those guys from Thailand, if is in USA would be better.
I love the new headlight internals, but I think the encasing itself on the standard headlights look cheap and plastic-y. Compared to the hard-edged staleness-steel trim / rim around the old headlights, this is a downgrade. Love the bulbs and the internal housing, not the outer housing... Looks cheap.
Try and find a new 2019 Rebel. Dealers will be marking the 2019's down to sell with the 2020 bikes coming in. New bike equals WARRANTY COVERAGE. Dimes to dollars says that the used 2017 Rebel was someone else's new bike and so at 12K miles on it could mean 12K of harsh beginner riding, now they want to upgrade to a larger bike. If you can afford it, go for the bike that you can get warranty coverage on and you know is in excellent condition.
@@mounirdellagi7091 its a fact of you know the industry you know that its the same chasis same body piecies they are minor upgrades. The manufacturer is not gonna go out of their way n spend millions redesigning the bike to put minor bolt ons on the next year model
and my friends still talk about the enfeilg 650 but they suck just look at the ergonomics of this bike its best for ones looking for buying a bigger cc bike for the first time and looks badass yea gt 650 looks classy and has more cc but i think its not gonna out run honda and yea honda is way ahead in build quality and refinement no use if have over 600 cc and cant ride it to fulest deep inside everyone know that the cost gonna be the real prob.
HONDA HAS AND ACE MOTORCYCLE ON A PETRO BIKES AND THEY NEVER BRING IT ON LINE ITS THE 1979 OR 1981 V6 BUT I REMEMBER I WAS 13 BACK THEN IT WAS THE BIKE THAT YOU WANT TO OWN EVEN IF YOU WANT IT TO BUY IT TO DAY ITS OVER $20.000 TO DAYS VALUE HONDA IS SLEEPING ON A GIANT

It looks same as before 😕 The LEDs - you can buy on ebay..... Ant at once they start telling about accessories... that we can BUY if we want it improved 😖
Fuck that, bring the Shadow back to Europe! Rebel is too small! I wanna try out a cruiser but there is literally 3 Japanese cruisers to choose from: Vulcan 650, Yamaha Bolt and Rebel 500. All too small for a big dude.

Ikr, I bought my 2019 model 2 weeks ago, on the bright side we can trade in for new one😃
They may well sell the new pieces as mods in time, it's a great bike for customizing parts :D
Like the head lights
Yoyoyoyo weeei!! Too much cultural learning turned Borat to Bike vlogger ...I like... very much 😁
i will buy two if they put 650R motor with Rpm indicator.

are you Borat's brother?
Im 6 foot 1. Could i buy this bike for commute and touring? If not, what other bike would you suggest that is similar in terms of style and size?
Very good job 👌
Hi there guys, can you ask the people at Honda about the new Honda CT 125 Trail/Hunter? Or is it there already, will it come to the EU?
Nice question, I’m too very curiuos about that bike.
Honda ain't playing with y'all.
Is't already clear how much the 500 s will cost?
What about the all new rear lights??
Does it have a center stand?
Honda, please make me a 900cc Rebel 😍
1100cc
10 000 CCC bitches
Why not 20000 cc? (eye roll)
TorgoLives good idea
I think I would still pick the Vulcan s over this
Gahh! Me too, just cannot make my mind up! :S
very nice improvement! maybe it's time to change my bike, that stock exhaust needs to go though
How fast does it go? Is it good for highway speed?? Looking to buy this for my first bike.
155kmh

Awesome guys... also these bikes r 🔥🔥
What's a better option for me if it's gonna be my first bike... Vulcun s or Rebel 500 ?
I need some guidance folks
Vulcan ja better for bigger guys but the Honda Has more style
is that an adjustable brake lever?
Yes
For my first bike, should I buy a brand new rebel 500 at MSRP? Or should I buy a 2017 Honda Rebel 500 for $3,500 that has 12.4k miles ?

Never
Do we know what this will retail at in the EU?
When it lunch in Philippines?

I am so waiting for it too, but unfortunately, Honda won't even give a clue. :-/
6000 Dollars
How are different these two bike? I dont know please explain me
Google
