If you are want to try a good cruiser that I own is the new Harley Nightster S its a great bike and I know your not fully on cruisers but would be cool to see your reaction to that bike and its power
One thing to remember with the Rebel on highways: the sixth gear is an overdrive meant for driving at constant speed for fuel economy. For top speed and acceleration you want to drop down to fifth gear.
@@jasenrockno sixth has a longer gear ratio meaning it drops torque and power for better fuel economy, sixth will feel more sluggish than every other gear even in the same rev range
Well, Ive owned a Rebel 500 since 2019, and have done 17k+ miles on it. And you NEED 6th gear to reach the top speed. Its easy to top out 5th on her. But she is in a way limited to 110. You can tell there is a sudden power loss around 110-115.
Totally agree. Two changes I had to make to tweak it were a new Mustang seat and forward controls to move the foot controls up about 6 inches. Made her perfect and I plan to ride this bike for years.
@@revamp8835 I took the MSF class on a Harley Street 500. Personally, I prefer the Rebel 500. Slightly lower seat height, better foot control positions, bike is a bit lighter, costs a bit less, more dependable, and far more aftermarket mods available for it, plus a ton of other Rebel owners always ready to offer you tips and help.
46 years old and I've never ridden before. I plan on taking a course and eventually buying a bike. This one looks to be right up my alley. I LOVE the style. Like you said, it's a whole vibe. I can see myself riding one of these to and from work daily.
My personal opinion. I took the course at 58 years old in 2023. After getting my motorcycle endorsement I didn't know to get a good size cruiser or a smaller bike such as the Rebel 300. I almost bought a Grom. Ended buying an old Shadow 750. Okay bike on the highway and rural areas, kind of cumbersome in town. As a new rider smaller is better when developing skills and getting experience. Rebel 500 seems like an excellent choice
Nice little bike. Honda makes some good bikes and cars too! I had a 97 Valkyrie and loved it!! Had to sell it to pay my taxes!!! 😡😡😡 then I had a stroke a few years ago that took away my balance. Thought my ridding days were over. Then I discovered the F-3S Spyder by Can Am. No balance required! I’m back in the wind!!!! Wind therapy is a real thing, I here to tell ya!!! Love my Spyder!!!
My dream bike. Only Honda haven't decided to bring it to my country (yet). That's what makes it the bike of my dreams, that which I can only dream of! (cries in Spanish)
I have the 1100 and it has the same two problems the 500 does. That seat is not meant for long rides and that exhaust sounds like a sewing machine. People complain about how much gas it holds, but unless you riding off into nowhere, its generally fine. Swap out the first two and the bike is fun.
I am a Rebel 500 daily driver and I 100% agree with this about the seat and exhaust. I replaced my pipe and got a seat cushion. It is now the best bike I've ever owned.
I just bought a Rebel 500, never ridden road bikes before only dirtbikes. I’m 5’9” 150lbs, I have my temps and only ridden a few times round town for maybe an hour. I thought about a 125 or a 300. I feel like a Rebel 300’s they have to little power to comfortably ride highway speeds. I think the smallest I’d ever get on a bike would be a drz 400, or a ninja 400. I’ve was looking at other bikes before buying the 500 and this is the only bike I felt comfortable on. So for a simple, light, city/highway bike to have fun on. I love it. I might sell it in a year or two to get a bigger bike like a 600+. But so far I love the bike and I don’t plan on selling it any time soon!
Thanks for this video it was a great review, I just purchased a 2022 model Rebel and I’m just happy cruising around , it does everything I want from a small bike , I love the low revving torque on this bike .
O.C. I would get the rebel 1100 for myself just because I already have a 650 ninja and also because my girlfriend loves cruisers. Love the look and love that they add LEDs from the factory.
I have a 22 Rebel 500. GREAT city/beginner bike. I’m always getting compliments from all walks of life. It’s a a must for any stable. You definitely may want a 2nd/faster bike though.
I looked at this one vs the Eliminator and went with the latter. While yes, the 180 crank doesn't sound the "best" stock, I preferred the looks and the seating position of the Eliminator much more than the rebel. It also has a tachometer and a passenger seat that can keep your butt in the seat when getting on it. So far, nothing but compliments from other riders and people!
This is an extremely awesome first bike. The low torque is so much fun & the tach would be the only nice addition to have. Definitely not needed though. I own both the 1100 and 500. The 500 definitely doesn't feel like it would benefit from a rain-mode, but it would be nice to have an option to limit the engine braking and turning that option into a sport mode. Absolute joy to ride though. Skip the 300. You will want to upgrade to this in less than week and it's perfectly manageable. Awesome review Chase!
I'm debating on getting the 500 and having to worry about upgrading to the 1100 down the road. I'm a super safe driver, been driving stick for 10+yrs, did my mfs course...you think the 1100 on rain mode is do-able for a first long term bike for daily?
@@life.of.hang711 - I can’t put my finger on it, but the 1100 in rain mode is a little weird starting from a stop. It seems like no matter how high revs you use, no matter how quick you can be completely off the clutch lever, the bike moves off unnaturally slow at the speed it decides vs what you are actually doing. This might be a feature of rain mode safeties though. No issues in standard or sport. It can just be a little annoying if you end up practicing on roads with some car traffic in rain mode. But when it’s really raining and cars are moving slower, I can completely see the benefit. The 1100 was my first bike and I did a lot of NJ/NY roads so experiences may vary with rain mode. At 400 miles on rain mode, I graduated to standard and rarely use sport based on where I live. The biggest hurdle was discipline to not go standard when I wasn’t ready for it yet. That moment for the change comes naturally.
@SteveySwidz okay, that's good to know. So let's just say if I were to finance a 500, and got tired of it sooner than I thought, would dealer's allow trade-ins and refinance for a 1100??
@@life.of.hang711 By your question, I'm assuming you are very young. Wish I was still young in body. LOL JFYI, you will get burned $ wise if you buy twice from the dealer. You are going to lose via fees, taxes, and depreciation. My suggestion is to purchase a slightly used 500 and learn on that. Heck you may find you are perfectly happy long term with the 500. Take it from me, bigger, mo power, mo weight and all that goes with it has almost as many downsides as upsides. I've owned 13 bikes over 30 years and just sharing my experience with you for what it is worth. Wish you the best with whatever you get. I'm actually looking to get my first mini moto now after all these years. :)
OC: I like the colour scheme for the Rebel SE. I'm not much of a cruiser guy, but definitely could see a city cruiser being a fun daily ride. Also seeing cop Chase head pop up I expected you to get pulled over again and if Yummi saw this and saw Cop Chase he'd be dying 😂😂😂
Manufacturers must really love RUclipsrs calling bikes ‘beginner bikes’, effectively losing them sales to experienced bikers who enjoy mid-capacity bikes.
having bought it, the camera doesn't show how long it is, it seems like a small bike (which is, tbh) but the wheelbase compensate for the low seat, you'll get what I mean when you see it
Thank you for the video if I were to purchase a Honda rebel it would be the 1100. Tomorrow I will be riding this one for a friend that will be purchasing his first motorcycle
Im hoping we see the rebel 300 get cancelled, or made for MSF only. Then have the Rebel 500 be the entry model, the 1100 be the top end, and introduce the Rebel 750, using the Transalp/Hornet motor.
My fiancé and I plan on starting with the rebel series. They are great looking bikes, Honda reliability, and since my fiancé is short, the low seat height is amazing. Looking forward to more. Be safe
You can do 40-80 in 3 and 4 gear for best acceleration. 6 is more of an overdrive for fuel economy and cruising so of course its not responsive in 6 but plenty of passing power in 4 or 5 at highway speeds for a small-medium. I wonder if honda will launch a 750 rebel using the hornets engine? That could be sweet.
Im 6'2 180. On longer rides youre gonna feel pretty cramped. I've e been considering forward controls for a long time but having the factory set up makes it extremely maneuverable underneath you. Sometimes feels like a 20" bmx
Just thinking regarding the pull distance on the front brake, might that be in order to be more approachable to new riders who might grab it a bit too aggressively, and the longer pull kinda gives them a little more progressive braking because of that?
OC I have a Kawasaki Vulcan 650S more sporty than the rebel 500 it has a slightly detuned ninja engine it's alot of fun but only good for light touring or just cruising around the city
If you're contemplating getting one, but thinking about being able to keep up with bigger bikes don't worry. I ride with zx14rs, huyabusa, s1000s, r1, 600s, and 650s. And I keep up just fine . It won't win a speed contest but you'll definitely be able to ride with bigger bikes
3:40 if you think the Kia is in the wrong it's time you really think about learning to drive before riding a bike. A small mistake like that could cost your life
Hey I’m looking for my first motorcycle and I want a middle class motorcycle I’ve rode dirt bikes and quads my options are gxsr8r and cbr650r and r7 and rs660 and I can afford all of them I will commute a little bit probably 2 or 3 days a week and I will do some weekend rides what do y’all think I should get
OC: A ceuiser can be wuatever you want it to be. Just because its not a harley or an Indian it doesn't mean its not a cruiser. I for one think of my lowered stretched, 150cc swapped ruckus as my "cruiser" because it has the vibe. Will i want to hit the highway on it, hell no, but I do love cruising around town on it.
The Rebels just always look so meh to me..... The only one I've seen that looked decent was the 1100. The Scrambler 500 version is somewhat OK But otherwise I am expending effort to make sure my wife does not buy one of these. I'd take a VStar over a Rebel any day.

Any chance you've got a review coming up for Royal Enfield Meteor 350? I keep going back and forth between these 2
I believe Honda knows what it was doing not putting a taco on the Rebel 500 ,they wanted riders to listen to the bike ,to be more involved with it .
You mentioned you owned a Sportster S, how would you compare the two bikes?
Chase please do the 1100 BUT manual one. No DCT. And compared it to the dct 1100 one that u did before.

Nice bike but not very confortable. There are more comfortable curisers. Engine, handling and brakes are good for this kind of bike.

The Rebels just always look so meh to me..... The only one I've seen that looked decent was the 1100. The Scrambler 500 version is somewhat OK But otherwise I am expending effort to make sure my wife does not buy one of these. I'd take a VStar over a Rebel any day.
No offense at all, but the vstar is an awful bike. ( the 250 at least)
23:53 you hit the horn on the honda because honda flips the horn and turn single on their bikes
60mpg makes for a happy rider too ❤
