Man, I love the Rebel 500. Very good concept.
Such an awesome review dude, best bike review channel out there (UK Subscriber)
I've waited so long for this Review! Thank you Cager!
"really well done by yamaha"
loric loppi esta tão habituado a vender yamaha...
Busted! eheheheh
I wonder what bike he really had his mind on at that moment in time. :)
loric loppi 😂😂🤣🤣😭
hahahaha
THANK YOU! I was hoping you would review the new rebel.
EDIT: I'm interested in your opinion of the Yamaha Bolt. I know its not really your kind of bike but still you are one of the best first ride reviewers on youtube.
Cheers
three things;
1) adjust your mirrors before you ride
2) hope you recover from your tonsillitis
3) great review
Hmmm... a Yamahonda? Kind of like a Kawazuki :)
Yamahonda ER650F ? :D
Blue & Green, or Yellow & Green? :)
SUZAKI!!!
The new Honda CMX500 Rebel 2020 looks interesting, bunch of new designs incorporated to this bike
(LED Headlights / new, more informative dials / comfier cross-stitched seat / better rear lights etc)
Keep in mind that are are short, petite men that exist. I'm a 33 year old male that's 5'4'' and weights 110 pounds. This bike is perfect for someone of my frame and stature.
Thank you. I am 5”3 tall and weight 135 pounds and this bike is perfect for short people, it’s really easy to ride and comfortable enough
As usual another very good honest review. I know what you meant about the old 250 Honda many years ago now I had the Honda 250cc Custom really a super Dream engine in a lowered frame not fast looked good great for croozing just like this bike really
Been following you for a long time mate, and good on you for now doing 1080p 60fps, are you going to go up to 4k any time soon?
What country was this shot at? Such beautiful scenery! Could've sworn I heard Portugal somewhere :P
Once again, very good review. A few weeks ago you did a video on emigrating to another country, and you had some unanswered questions. A vlogger MrTemjin has just posted a video on the same subject. I hope his video helps you a bit. He emigrated from Portugal to the UK, and lives in London.
Interesting what you say about the weight ... My wife has just traded in her XV950 (Bolt) for the CMX500 Rebel ... 60kg difference! Power to weight difference negligible, so happy days. Good review (as always)
It is the same engine as the 500X, but the bhp claims are slightly different for some reason.
Well done Yamaha.......great bike!
Not a Yamaha
@@jamiehood3165 It says Yamaha on the tank.
A honest review ! How refreshing ! I hope you are well ! Cheers.
I like that it has a fuel indicator and that it looks badass.
Is it possible to change the big fat tires with something less tall and correct it's handling?
Aw man, your right foot shoe lace is just waiting to get hung up on that brake pedal, watch out.
High leather boots will obviate the engine cover AND save your legs in a smack-up.
The best review of the Honda rebel 500! Thank you
Amazing bike. It's in my list of B bikes.
Thank you for the effort for making this review.
Cheers from Saudi Arabia
Nice review as always cager! Would it be possible to make a review of the new 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650?
Really well done by Yamaha??????????????
cager, please do the new Suzuki V Strom 650 xt review! thx!
Very good review. I laughed as you said Kawasaki earlier and then later Yamaha. :)
In North America you can get either a Rebel 500 or Rebel 300. Both have 'optional' ABS. I think they should have just defaulted to having ABS, but whatever. I think the rear pillion seat is optional not standard here. It does look very cool. I sat on one about a month ago and I'm 5'9"; felt okay but the cruiser positioning is somewhat odd ...an odd feeling. Again, good review and thanks for posting!
A nice review; positive and articulate.
Cager, can you do a review of a honda cb125f? There aren't many review of it. Recently I bought one, it's my first proper bike. I'd like to hear your opinion for it 😀
Cager, can you do a review of a honda mt 07 2017?
duke 125 cams he already did one of the 07.
@@davidrodriguez-kn9mv But was it the Honda? ;)
Very good review. I enjoyed it very much.
Great review. I saw your one on the Kawasaki Vulcan S too. I am going to check both bikes out on Monday as I am very interested in both, but cannot test ride until I pass my full test (I only have my CBT and ride a 125). But I'm curious, how did you find the two compare?
My biggest concern with a 500 like the Rebel is that I might not get as much "fun" once I get used to the bike as say a 650 like the Vulcan. But the Rebel is a gorgeous looking bike IMO and I am very happy with the quality of my current Honda.
Well if you want to have fun you should look into cbr500r, bikes like vulcan and rebel are meant for cruising and relaxed rides, Vulcan and cbr 500r are almost identical as far as 0-100 goes but vulcan isn't that much fun at twisties.
My problem is that I want both...well....to some degree as odd as it seems, fun, but not a crotch rocket. I want a light cruiser that handles well by cruisers standards and also can be fun to ride if I do want to put power in. At least in giving it thought and looking at my options, I believe that's the kind of thing I want to get out of riding.
So I want something relaxed that I can also have fun on. So the Vulcan S attracted me because it shares an engine with the Ninja, but tuned to the low-mid torque range to be suitable for cruiser, but still seems light and easy to handle and get a bit more "oomph" when needed and therefore less like standard cruisers (and the other Vulcans). And it seemed to put a smile on Cager's face during his test ride.
The Rebel 500 seems suitable for cruising too, though of course is more of a bobber style, keeps the relaxed ride but in a more neutral position versus normal cruisers. But sounds like it lacks that extra oomph when needed. I may end up taking my next bike on the motorway when I go to visit friends in other parts of the country. I know both can handle the speeds. However, I am interested at least with how the two compare.
But good to know about the 0-100 on the Vulcan & CBR500R, twisties, I think I am going to expect on a cruiser anyway, which I am okay with.
I purchased the Rebel 3 weeks ago. Love it. I was looking for the same things you listed above, and the Rebel delivered. Like Cager said, it's great for around town, enjoying a longer cruise, and commuting. It's not a sports bike, but it's not trying to be one. Looks cool, engine is butter smooth, and has good power when you need it.
Ryan Schlenger How do you find it on motorways? What would be the speed limit you would consider "comfortable"?
I am really tempted to get one but afraid that on longer tours it wouldn't be enough
Absolutely fantastic place to drive on motorbike.
Where is it in Portugal?
Ja
small question, since it doesn't have a tach, is it more forgiving when doing rev-matching? Or does it make it more difficult because you don't know what revs you are at?
Your question is Only for amateur. Ask a #legend 😎👌
Can't decide between this and the CB500X? mainly town riding/commuting? Love them both and great deals on both in the UK this winter.
I'm struggling so much between getting 500 rebel or the r3. I can't decide, I'm in love with both and to only pick one is destroying me
you really have to decide what looks do you prefer, if the racer look or a bobber style.
advantages of the bobber is that the aftermarket for this bike will be huge, you can really make it your own. but for a racer style bike not so much. the 500 engine is a really huge plus for me, I once had a CB500F 2013 and what i miss most from that bike is that engine, it's torque was great, it;s just pulls very well for it's size, very easy to maintain, for the valve clearance check you don't need to remove the camshafts so for the average mechanic it shouldn't be any problem to check the valve specs. on the r3 i don't know what's involved but it should be a solid engine, what I do know that the 500 engine sounds awesome with just a slip-on exhaust. on my CB I had a LeoVince slip-on and the 270deg firing interval sounded great.
you also have to consider what type of riding is you thing, sporty or relaxed and enjoying the ride, but still can be plenty fun. remember that although it a cruiser type it's still has decent ground clearance.
good luck whatever you choose.
Dude I love your reviews. Very thorough and informative. I've found a review of yours for every bike I want to see. Thanx man. 😊👍🏻
The engine cover doesn't bother everyone, I don't notice it at all on mine.
Would you ever ride a Triumph Thruxton or Sportbike , and what about the new Royal Enfield 650?
"...anyone with more than five feet..." OMFG, for a split second I imagined some sort of chernobylesque mutant..XD! (euro-metricness here, sorry!)
Is the Rebel 300 available in your area? It'd be nice to see a comparison if it is.
Would you rather have this bike or a CB300r?
Gracias Señor I will get me one I am only 5.5” and is just perfecto, nice video
I have Honda pcx 125 and 8 want to get a Moto driver license to buy bigger moto. Which do you think I should buy ? Please advise . I am in lisbon by the way. Thanks man 👍
Great review, you need some sort of image stabilizing, it gives me headache
hey cagerontwowheels, could you review the new ktm duke 390? and maybe compare it to the rc390? that would be really nice!!
In A2 class there are the Moto Guzzi v7, but the price is higher
Honda... é honda xDD, continua com os videos, nao há ninguem em portugal que o faça tao bem e acredito que motas é uma das coisas que os portugueses mais gostam, pelo menos pra mim, é vida xD
What country are you in...it beautiful there....I want to ride there just for the scenery
It's Portugal
Ola, o que acha da 500 rebel para como primeira mota? Mesmo em relaçao a consumo, velocidade e manobrismo para o transito de lisboa, acharia isto uma boa compra?
Até hoje 22/09/19
Ainda não tem essa moto no Brasil.
A honda diz que esta analisando o mercado.
Eu com certeza quero uma
Good engine, light controls, but sore back after a test ride. Royal Enfield Interceptor has same easy ride but more comfortable.
hey man. I like your videos. I respect your opinions. Can you do a video on Royal Enfield bikes(Himalayan/Continental GT/ any one)? I would like to see what you think about them
Shaurya Kumar Gautam third class bikes. Poor maintenance, poor performance, poorest handling. Only popular in India because of showoffs with less money. Only one thing that is good is they are relatively much more comfortable than the bikes available in India for both the rider and the pillion. By available I mean, in the similar price range.
But I would also like to know his opinion as he gives a really detailed but no nonsense review.
ekim andersom I never said anything about modern or classic. My review was based on four parameters namely: performance, handling, maintenance and comfort. So, you basically only disagree with me on handling. That is not Total Bullshit. You kind of hyperventilated there?
Coming to handling, the main two features of handling is its turning performance, and braking. They help one weave through the traffic easily. Both of these are worst in Royal Enfield bikes, compared to even much cheaper bikes in India. Finally, yes, I am talking about Indian version but highly doubt the engine and build and also design are different in export models.
I can't see getting the 500 when for a few bucks more you can get the Phantom. If you are really looking for beginner bike, the 300 makes more sense. Then trade up.
Just a silly question: why do you pronounce the two "Lopes" differently?
I gotta give this guy props on his english. Make fun if you want but he speaks better English then some folks here in the states.
hes from australia
Ty for the great review...very informative
Does it really feel that much different from a TRK in terms of engine performance?
Man, para quando um test ride à Street Triple 765?
Would you recommend this over a Benelli Leoncino as a commuterbike?
@@CagerOnTwoWheels Thanks a lot for the answer! No it's not an easy choice :)
In really needing some advice. As a newbie I'm ha ing a tough choice picking a first bike. choices are between the rebel 500 the shadow 750 and the indian scout sixty. I don't wanna get a bike I will grow out of or get tired of and wanna upgrade. advice??
David Mac I'm in the same boat. Trying to decide between a 500-1000 size
David Mac Indian scout for the win
parabens pelo excelente canal, jà pensaste em testar uma royal enfield ? continuação de bom trabalho !
Cager, para quando um test ride de uma BMW GS ou GSA 1200?
i love his laughs. best laughs.
Nice review! thanks!
Obrigado, vou comprar essa moto por causa do seu review!
You sound like Papa from the band Ghost
Can you tell me how much does in consume fuel litre/100km ?
The constant jerky movement of the camera makes it impossible to get a good look at the bike.
Also, you said it's 6,000 years old?
6000 euro bike
@@Budacious Oh, 6,000 year old (euro) bike. 🙄🤭
Give him a break, Yamaha and Honda are interchangable in Cager's mind. ;-)
cool bike
Will be a review of cb500f?
Do the Kawasaki 300 x please!
IDK, I like the styling, and everything but not no tachometer ? that is just stupid
Please review honda groom, or yamaha wrx125 :D PLEASE
It's actually really impressive what Honda can do with such tiny engines.
From the side, the engine reminds me of the '60s Honda DOHC 450. But then you see the radiator--! ;)
Kevin Phillips get back to your drawing table, lol
It's not a 500 cc engine. It's 471 I believe also there is a 300 rebel so you do have to differentiate when you do a review
Can you test the Yamaha Bolt 950
so what really is it a yamahonda?
OMG well done. Tas a subir a faskia das motas q testas.when will be a Harley?
nice dual shock brakes
It is a "Rebel" in name only. What is up with that upright tank? it looks weird. Yes, it is upgraded, but the gauges are horrible. I wished they kept the same beautiful style of the 2016 and before, just with upgraded ABS, EFI, more power, rear disk brake, and gear + tach indicator. Come on, Honda!
The newer ones are a hell of a lot prettier than the old ones
please do a sh 125i 2017 reveiw please
Whats your height?
ride the 2017 duke 390, please i beg you u.u
Classic dual shock brakes¿? Huh?
Really great bike. Maybe I should try it out for a testride. Even though it should fits my brother really well. He is a little bit shorter than me - so... it would a really damn match to him - haha. :D Greetings from austria.
The engine sounds absolutely beautiful. Also you live in a really nice area. As far as it being a bike for women...come on dude. I don't think I've ever seen a woman on a cruiser, period. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a woman riding anything but a scooter. Also, a woman would look terrible riding a cruiser in my opinion. And calling this a good bike for a woman is pretty much ruining it's image but that's just like..your opinion man.
Seriously? Never seen a woman on anything but a Scooter? What planet are you on? LOTS of women ride MOTORCYCLES......even Cruisers. I agree with Robbie D......a woman on a motorcycle is very sexy. :)
When I first saw this bike I couldn't get my eyes off of the footpegs, I mean they could have made this much more comfortable but the put the footpegs below the seat, whyyy Hondaaaa?
I purchased this bike 3 weeks ago. I'm 6'3'', 200lbs, and the footpegs are in a great position. The way they are positioned gives you a reassuring leg grip on the tank, feels great and in control at all times.
Ryan Schlenger
Thanks for posting. I'm interested in this bike, but all the talk about low seat height was giving me concerns that my knees could be sticking up above my hips. I'm 6'1", so if it's good for you then I should be fine :)
19:49 bahahahahaha!
Can you do a review on 883 iron Harley Davidson
Not only is this (apparently) a Yamaha, but "this is a six thousand year old bike." (2:03) That'll be Honda (or is it Yamaha) build quality.
I like that a girls' bike that is what we used to say about the Harley Sportster too~!~ LoL.
I can't understand what you are saying. Nobody knows what you are feeling, just state it in words.
those tyres have the same dimensions
nice Yamaha bike man.. :(
vc de portugal?
I sent you a PM, you did not get it. your tag game is still Phucked :D haha
the engine goes poooofff and then it goes ghhoohaaaaaaa
This motorcycle is too quiet ...remember "loud pipes save lives" those people in the car don't hear you at all.
tens de parar de dizer "the ladies love it" porque eu acabei de comprar uma e tas a roubar-me a minha masculinidade xD
Si , que culero,,, ya no la quiero comprar
"i'm not sure what this is" ... proceeds to "review" anyway.
6000euros? Here it is 8600 and change.
