Last month I purchased a used 2023 Rebel 500 with 750 miles on the clock. I downsized to the Rebel from previously owning an SfV650 Gladius. I’m 76 now with arthritis in my feet causing big problems when tippy toeing a taller bike. Cruisers were never my first choice of bike, as I always preferred the sportier style of machine, but the Rebel 500 enables me to continue riding a motorcycle. The Rebel is powerful enough for me now but I did have to replace the stock seat with a more comfortable one. The Rebel 500 is a really nice little bike that has Honda reliability plus I am averaging 80mpg which is brilliant. I’m 5’6” when I breathe in and 5’ 5” when I breathe out and I weigh 177lbs.
