2021 Honda Rebel 500 ABS SE 
Авто/Мото
Went to a Harley dealership looking for an 883. Walked put with a 2019 rebel 500. Stoked.
And how you feel today ? Do you enjoy ? :)
I've just done the same thing today 😂
You had your eye on a Harley Fat Wallet, huh?
Just bought one today! Can't wait to bring it home. Got the 2022 500 ABS SE.
For years I have wanted to buy a motorcycle. Glad Honda upgraded the Rebel to a 500. Thanks for all the helpful information
Love my new 2022 Rebel 500!
The slipper clutch is 🔥. Was considering the 1100 but as a small rider weighing 115 thought it might be overkill. Price was a factor for me plus the 500 has 26mpg more than the 1100. The 500 is more than enough power to go faster than you’ll ever need to go. Thanks for the video it was great!
Would you recommend it for someone whos 260lbs?
I have a 2019 Honda rebel 500, went on a ride through the mountains when the seal on the pump for my coolant broke. This was in 2020 after 14 months of ownership and 9000km on it. Rode it the 4 hours back to the dealership with the temp light on the whole time. Been good to me since that though
Thank you very much Jake😃✌🏽
I have the Rebel myself and absolutly love the bike.
I‘m alao in preparation for the winter season so a video about that would be great 👍🏽
Keep it up
VERY helpful video! You kept stressing reliability. You sold me. Thanks a ton! I just subbed. Thanks again!
If it's a Honda, generally they never brakedown. I'm 61 and have lost count of all the bikes I've had. IMO, Yamaha and Honda are tops in fit, finish, quality 👌. ALL the Japanese bikes are great though, I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of the "big four" Japanese manufacturers if they had a specific model I wanted.
Good point on the battery strength. It starts right away every time! Unlike my MT07’s OEM battery:/
Got my Rebel 1100 this year, have about 4000 miles on it and it’s been great. I’m not a fan of chain maintenance and I had to adjust the chain tension around 3000 miles, but this bike is so easy to ride and has soooo much power.
Chain maintenance is the worst😂. Im sure ill be adjusting mine at some point next season
My 500 is 6000 miles and I never did a maintenance on my chain lmao
give us a shaft or belt drive Rebel already!!!!
So happy I found this video, I just bought my first bike a week ago and it’s this exact bike.
I rode my 2022 Rebel 500 from Virginia to Washington State in 6 days. The only problem I had was with a sever thunderstorm in Nebraska. Because the bike is so light, the crosswind almost pushed the it off the freeway. Top speed 86mph. No mechanical issues. Had to a battery tender plug (for the gps) because it doesn't come with the bike.
I got 500 rebel se before a year and i am preaty happy. I haven't changed anything on this bike and my personal opinion is buy it. just buy it. Super friendly to new drivers, enough power for entry level riders, you have a lot of fun with this bike and even the tank is 11.7 ltrs you can do almost 310-330 km with one reload. 11/10 ^^
I love the sound of your motorcycle. I wouldn't change the muffler. great video
Thanks for the informative vid. Beautiful bike!
Thank you!
I’ve always had my heart set on the Rebel 500. But recently I decided not to be so tunnel vision set on it and look at other options. I came to the decision of rebel 500 vs Ninja 650.
My deciding factor has been insurance. The 650 is 250/month vs 500 is 50/month.
Looks my heart and pockets win 😂
Hopefully get to cop the rebel as soon as my local dealer gets one in stock !
Where do you live that's high prices
@@kenweis7913 probably ontario lmao
These bikes/engines are very reliable and durable, it's a Honda after all. 😉
There are a lot of CB500X's with well over 230k miles/ 370k km without opening the engine and without any problems at all. 💪😃
Honda click 125i
Mine running 66000 km on clock
No internal engine problem at all
Honda reliability is awesome
Could you possibly make a video going over all maintenance for the bike?
I've got an oil leak on the left side of valve cover gasket (Rebel 500 2018). The leak appeared on about 11kkm, and quickly esclated so I had to change the gasket. Cost me just under 100 euros in the local official Honda garage.
I wish I got a rebel 500 instead of my r3. This bike sounds hella nice and looks beautiful.
Ahaha I had a choice between a 2021 r3 or a 2021 rebel and I chose an r3. Also the r3 was 7600 aud vs the rebel 9600aud.
@@aaryanbhardwaj5293 that’s what I thinking of getting the rebel 500 or the R3, I heard the 2022 rebel coming out with new things to their models
This will be a great upgrade for me from a Honda ADV 150 in Thailand.
I love my 2022 honda rebel 500 it's the only way to go and I daily commute to work on this 5days a week so easy and fun to drive with more than enough power
That's what I need it for was look at this and the z500
Great video mate! Does it have quickshifter?
Utah County nice I am in salt lake county thought where your riding looked familiar
I live in New Zealand and most farm bikes are Honda's (Quads and two wheelers). They see everything from mud, wet and cold conditions, cow shit, and getting dropped by the farmers often. They just seem to never break down even through the abuse they go through. Pair this with a good maintenance routine and they'll last you a life time. Honda and Yamaha are both good bike brands for reliability and have a high reputation here in New Zealand.
I'm switching from Harley-Davidson to this. My Harley gave me so many problems
Where is the like that u talked about? And I’m from Portugal loving ur vids btw cuz next year I’m getting this bike, and probably keep it for a very very long time, do you know if this parts ship to Portugal?
Should be in the description!
I'm considering the Rebel 500 as my 1st bike, but all I can find is old 250s and 300s in my area (used)
Definitely a hard time to find anything nowadays!
You've got to show us your camera set up for when you ride!
Will do!!
Damn is that scenery gorgeous!
I really like my 500s. Fast for a 500
Bike sounds great
what exhaust are you using? it sounds good.
I sold my 500 for a larger bike, but at times, I sure do miss my Rebel!
What motorcycle did u upgrade to??
@@aaryanbhardwaj5293 Triumph Street Twin
@@jimsaddler942 How do you like it?
@@gokulkrishm51 The Honda Rebel 500 was a very comfortable bike, and at times, I do miss it! However, being a 6 speed, I was constantly changing gears (had to shift out of first gear at just 10-12mph). I decided to upgrade to the Triumph Street Twin and at 900cc, it made a world of difference. It is only a 5-speed, which I actually like because it means much left shifting. Also, I do a lot of country-road riding, and the Street Twin "purrs" at 50-60 MPH in 5th gear, much better than the Rebel 500 did at 50-60 MPH in 6th gear. I'm not knocking the Rebel at all, but if you haven't bought one yet, be sure to test ride the Triumph Street Twin before making your purchase. The sound those stock exhaust puts out is just incredible!
@@jimsaddler942 First off, almost everyone misses the motorcycle that they just sold. Trust me, I know 😂
And yeah I know the Rebel is a good motorcycle and I'd love to upgrade from my Enfield 350 to the Rebel 500. But the problem is, Honda is not selling any Rebels in my country :'( And Triumphs cost a fortune to own here and takes looong time to get spares. I've seen them sitting in dealerships for weeks for simple things like oil filters and such. If you're very far from cities, (which I am) you're gonna have to wait longer. That's why I'm sticking with Japanese but unfortunately they're not available to me.
So I'm just asking people because of curiosity :)
Thanks!
I like the mirror setup you have. Can you give me me details on how to get the same?. Thank you
Theres a video up on the channel specifically on the mirrors!👍🏼
My Honda has 98,000 miles. Runs well.
1:12 Dude, that view. Probably nowhere outside of USA you can see such flats to drive.
They're bulletproof!😮
Saratoga! That area has blown up in the past year!
These engines seems to be very reliably. But IMO better to change oil more frequently, about every 3000 km. Oil change intervals in manual are just too long. Also, regular 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil for gasoline engines will do its job and is much more affordable, than oil branded "for motorcycle". Just get oil from reputable manufacturer with API SN (SM, SL) approval.
you do know the reason u cant use regular engine oil is because the clutch lol
@@gkidd1991chevy have you used regular engine oil in motorcycle? I did that in two of my motorcycles. Various automobile oil from various brands. Clutch working the same as with Motul 7100 with 2x the price
@@nextdigital1080 i am a parts guy at a honda motorcycle dealership and plenty of times guys have came in that put in regular oil and there vehicle will not move anymore
The problem is that anyone on the Internet can call himself an expert or a Honda service station/dealership employee. I don't want to offend you, but a motorcycle can't "stop moving" if you use automotive engine oil. If you have evidence, the conclusion of the service station that automobile oil caused damage to motorcycle parts, then it will be interesting to look at them. All my friends with motorcycles of different brands that use car oil have no problems. It may not be worth using oil with excessively high amounts of molybdenum. But small amounts of molybdenum are also found in motorcycle oils such as Motul 7100.
@@nextdigital1080 I literally had a guy in my work 3 days ago with a ktm dirt bike he put regular oil in it and he said it locked it up his words not mine I’m not dumb enough to put car oil in a bike had the same thing with talon 1000r he put in regular oil and the vehicle wouldn’t move so he came and buy 5 gallons to try to flush it with these are not my claim this is my experience I’m sure Honda recommends a certain oil just for u to use something else lol
winterize it you best be getting a snowmobile suit and some studded tires LOL
Where did you get those brown grips
Which mirrors did you buy? Perfect positioning.
I actually made a whole video about them on the channel👍🏼
I am really considering getting one and doing a shitload of modifications. the only concern that I have is that I am 6'3 and don't wanna look like a goblin riding it.
What mirrors are those? Looks dope
Hey dude i actually have a full video about them on the channel!🤘🏼
Would this be a good bike for me I am 6’2” and 180 pounds
I have a question, I live in Texas and thinking about getting a bike. But how come no on rides in he winter? Is It bad for the bike or do people just get too cold? I could see like no traction because snow or somethin, but for the most part it hardly rains and never snows. and I understand it would be freezing ass. Just wondering what it means to winterize and why you do it
Ppl winterize them because they won't use it during winter due to the cold but I used to ride all year long in new York 20mins to get to work and same commuting home , usually you just gotta check if there's gonna be a big snow or if there's black ice on the roads, other than that, if you have a decent rain suit for rainy days or good winter gear (better if it's industrial clothes) you can just keep riding during winter even when you have mild snow. Btw.. heated grips are a life saver during winter ohh and if it's carburated note that sometimes it gets a little while to be able to start it and you should let the engine heat up for a couple of minutes (or ride really mild on the revs if you're in a hurry) that's it. Ohhh and try to clean the bike frequently when you have riden over salt or any of those chemicals they throw for avoiding the snow to stick to the roads. That will eat the metals if you don't clean them and nobody likes rust 🤟 ride safe!
I also live in New York but find there are enough breaks in the winter weather where you can ride and avoid having to winterize the bike. I have a riding suit that even when the temperatures get down to the thirties I can manage the 30 minute ride to work. My personal limit has become 36 degrees after having two issues with ice below that temperature. Ice and riding a two wheel vehicle do not mix. You do need to get a good pair of winter riding gloves because the hands can get very cold with wind chill while you're riding.
I live in tx and I never winterize them bc I ride some in the winter when it's not TOO cold
@@DM-dv5jx I'm from Minnesota.
It is never cold enough to winterize a bike in Texas lol
Do you have stock exhaust in this video?
Can you link the black out items you used for the fork?
Thats actually part of the “SE” edition. I think theres a few sites where you can buy the covers.
What happens if I watch this video AFTER I buy a rebel 500? Genuinely curios.
Fellow Utahn here great video thinking about getting a 22 rebel 500 for my first bike is it worth it to get the abs model?
I would recommend it!
I thought those mountains looked familiar.. then I saw that Topsoil for sale sign on the right side of the road.. hahaha. You still enjoying this bike? Debating on getting one here soon.
Yep still lovin it!
@@ItsJustJakeYT Thats good to know! I'm tryin to find one at a local dealer here in SLC to FEEL before I drop cash on it but nobody has any unfortunately. Stalking dealers for shipments is not fun lol
is that the stock exhaust?? if not what do you have on it??
Hello, what is the fuel efficiency average city and hiway driving combine?
Go on the Forum link he included. They specifically talk about milage. Roughly 75 MPG.
Put a scorpion pipe on just bolt on give you another 10 break 👍
Im new to bikes. Im trying to get one bcuz of the gas being expensive. Is the honda rebel a reliable option for a low gas consume bike? Thanks for the video and nice handle grips👌🏾
If you want mileage, you should go for a scooter, or a 125cc bikes. They have like 60 to 90 kmpl.
My 2019 rebel 500 gets 65mpgs
Vstar 250 gets around 70+
The CB300R would be best if you don't need high power. Lot faster than a 125 but still 85 mpg.
Yes.
More adaptable as you get more confident, urban use is just fine with highway use and genuine long distance road tripping a viable option as you spread your wings.
Can't go wrong.
Would this bike be good for Texas? 99% of the roads in my area are at a 75mph speed limit.
I would say if that’s the speed that you’re running most of the time, I would look at something like the Vulcan 650. Has a little bit more highway power.
@@ItsJustJakeYT Thanks for the reply! I'll look into it.
Or Rebel 1100
Have a 500 in Dallas, love it.
@@brandontheppote7644 I live in Dallas as well. I drive I30 west everyday. Do you think this will be a good choice?…
I was going to say the 500 is only 400lbs that's only 200 on one end surely you can lift that. And it's not the lack of power it's just the Rebels gear box is to short and wastes a lot of top end speed.
Too late my girlfriend already bought one, it’s coming in tomorrow for her. It’ll be perfect as she sits 5 ft flat and is a rather skinny build!
Dude your up by my girl friends house we live in Saratoga springs let me know when you wanna go ridding I have a 2022 honda furry would love to find more people to go ride with
Lets do it bro🤘🏼
Is this bike rideable with 6' +?? Im 6'1 and a little bit worried. I want to use it on longer trips too
Bro do you still need to remap if you change the muffler?
Negative
I am looking at getting this for my wife. Here in the Houston area they are listed for $6800. Do you know if that includes the shipping cost. This looks like a good upgrade for her. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Is it the “SE” model? If its not the “SE” i would say thats over priced. Mine was bought from a dealer with a Tag price of 6,800. After ridiculous “Crate Fee’s”, random dealer fee, and Tax/Licensing. I ended up close to 9K. I definitely over payed but at the time, it was the only 21’ SE model in the state. So i had to jump on it. I would definitely buy Slightly used if possible to save on stupid fee’s from a dealer. Hope this helps🤘🏼
Thank you for such a honest review. Thinking between 500 and 1100 for a first bike, what do you think?
Get the 1100 if you can afford the extra cost. The 1100 has 3 rider modes, and if you're new to riding you can put it in rain mode which tempers the throttle inputs until you get used to it and move up to the standard mode. I would prefer the manual version over the DCT.
Currently am an owner of a Rebel 500, since April of this year and I love it but I'm kind of growing out of it already.
I would agree. Definitely go bigger if you feel comfortable enough with the extra power!
@@tinman3586 than I will wait until I have a little bit more money. Thanks for reply
Yes the 1100 have 3 Modes one you can configure, for what you want
I have A Kawi 500 Vulcan I bought new in 2007. I have 45000 miles with ZERO problems. The 500 Rebel looks like a great bike to me. A 500 has more than enough power.i can cruise at 80 mph all day and not be beating on the my bike. It is cheaper to insure,lighter and you can thru the Twisties easier
nice place, where is that?
What exhaust do you have on the 500 in this video?
Its the radiant cycles shorty GP. Theres a full video up on the channel👍🏼
I'm new in bikes, my question gos in ... this bike is ok for a 200 mi ride? cheers
Absolutely
Where does the redline start?
I had a 95 cb750 starts to redline at 9k and goes to 12k rpm. I think I heard the redline is really low on the 500, like 6k rpm
I am looking for a new bike. I'm thinking a Honda standard cb500. The 300 is single cylinder, so pass. The liter bikes are $$$ and I mostly ride in town and I'd prefer a lighter bike when I do slow U turns on hills.
I ride a hd but am buying one 4 my grandson...
My mom every time i tell her i need to talk to her: 4:15
That got me😂
What kind of exhaust do you have on it
I have a video of it up on the channel. It’s the radiant cycles Shorty GP!
Where did you get those grips?
Amazon. Vans Cult 1”
It’s a great beginner motorcycle 🏍️ for those just starting out.
Every time you move your hands away from the grip and start doing hand gestures makes me super nervous
Hmm….
How does it handle on highway/freeway?
I don't have the 500 yet but road a Rebel 250 for a few years. The 250 was o.k. up to about 60-65 mph so I have to imagine the 500 would be good on the highway up to 70-80 mph without the engine sounding like a lawnmower or vibrating your hands and feet to the point where they are numb after 30 minutes.
how tall are you?
Are those the stock grips?
Nope they are Vans Cult 1” Grips
Man I got mine in March already 5000 miles
I thought i would have been around that kind of mileage by now! The cold weather hit super early here!
All Hondas are super reliable. No need to watch.
Does the 500 comes in DCT version?
No it doesn’t
How much you weigh, man? People saying the seats suck for heavier people.
About 160lb! I could definitely see a heavier set person finding some comfort issues!
If you have issues with comfort, look into Corbin Seats, they make some really comfortable seats, and my dad who is a heavier guy loves his, bought it for him for his birthday
What’s the insurance on these things?
I got quoted for me at like 20 or 20 bucks
man get a Grip
No tach!😮
Beautiful bike and it sounds great. It seems like honda is targeting the Harley Davidson lovers who can’t afford them.
Honda's reliability is legendary. Just because you can make a video, doesn't make you worth hearing.
Your handle bars look bent.
Maybe just the angle of the gopro!
☕️ 🤤
500 miles to break in LOL who tf wrote that book maybe 50 if that lol like wtf
No:1= you barely broke it in. So you can't talk about reliability.
No:2=you did the first service yourself? Voiding any & all guarantees? Nice advertising to potential new rider's into expensive factory recalls because you service it yourself right?
No:3= It's been 4 minutes in, you've given nothing? No info on "long term ownership, only what you have added on to the bike.
No:4=5min in, he's saying what pretty much anyone knows about Honda & pretty much all Japanese manufacturers
It's pretty funny to see a "dirk bike" rider struggle to get his rebel 500 in a garage cause there's some loose sand in the way.
Pro tip, back it in, so you don't have to turn it around when you go to take it out
Not really any useful info here.
Okay?😂
Until now he had 0 problems whatsoever. 👍
I know I know, you where expecting to ear that it had a lot of problems but no, these bikes/engines are very reliable and durable, it's a Honda after all. 😉
There are a lot of CB500X's with well over 230k miles/ 370k km without opening the engine and without any problems at all. 💪😃
Sorry to disappoint you. 🤷♂️
@@tiagofigueiredo2529 Eu ando bastante indeciso entre a Honda Rebel e a Mitt 440 MB. A honda é fiável e tem boa reputação mas é muito cara, e acho os acabamentos algo mediocres, inclusive a estética. Parece uma mota de plástico, não cativa. É algo que não entendo na Honda, são capazes de melhor, e dão um produto algo mediocre, até mesmo na estética. Já a Mitt (antiga Goes, marca espanhola) é muito bonita, cativa, tem aspecto de moto séria (sei que é subjectivo, mas em pessoa é mesmo muito bonita), é barata, o motor é competente mas ligeiramente mais fraco, apesar de conseguir ir até 160km/h. O conforto penso ser melhor na Honda. A fiabilidade é algo ainda incerta, devido á falta de informação. Só indecisão.
Good.. Don't buy a honda
you seem like a gay person
