Had mine for 4 years no problems at around 10k miles. The seat is no good for more than an hour. Have tried different covers ect with limited success. Fitted a 16t front sprocket which makes for more relaxed cruising. Never carried a passenger and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, definitely a solo bike. No plans to change it yet. Original Dunlops not pleasant as they wore, they chased white lines and grooves, replaced with Michelin Commander, handle much better but do buzz a bit at certain speeds. For the shorter or older (I'm 73) rider looking for a bike that's easy to live with, highly recommended.

After many years owing bikes and after the last 12 years and 3 Harley Davisons. At the age of 73 I decided to downsize so traded in and brought a Honda Rebel 500A. Its smaller, lower, lighter and at my 5 ft 8 with a 30 inch inside leg its perfect. It may be a too small and low for a person of 6ft or above. Over all its a great bike. I only use the Rebel to ride for pleasure with my old Harley mates and must admit not in these winter months, role on spring. I also have an Atisan Evo Electric motorcycle, looks a bit like a Honda Grom, but it's bigger!

I can't say enough good things about my rebel. It's a very relaxed motorcycle, it's easy, low and confident inspiring. You don't need to go fast to enjoy it but when you do want to go swiftly through corner it does it with surprising ease. The clutch lever is effortless which excellent if you have wrist issues. Gear changes are satisfying in typical honda fashion. Tires don't last long and a relatively expensive for a bike of that size due to unusual measurements. Also my first bike was a 99 Honda CB 500 which was very rev happy and it didn't have much torque down low while on the new Honda lineup it's the other way around. It's no litre bike but it has enough power down low that you don't even need a rev counter. If I didn't read the spec sheet I would have swear that the Rebel had at least as much power as the older twin. I have a few complains about the stock bike. Firstly it doesn't have enough preload at the front for my weight which 72kg, this can be mitigated by adding 50 mL of oil in each fork leg and it's a bit fast in terms of compression and rebound so thicker oil like 15W from Bel Ray will do the trick. Brakes are ok but lack some bite so I replaced the stock pads with some EBC HH road pads, but that's optional really. And lastly the seat is painful after 2 hours of riding. I'm no beginner when it comes to riding but I found myself enjoying these smaller motorcycle more and more. I think your review was on point, you did a great job.

Of all the bike reviews I watch Mark is the best in my opinion, thorough and straight forward, I wish I had sat my test in'83 with my Yamaha DT LC 125, I would certainly consider this rebel 500 if I get an A2 licence which would do me 💪🏻👌🏻🙏🏼

This is hopefully soon going to be my first motorcycle and after sitting on one today I'm sold.. I just can't for the life of me understand why you added the wind guard and the rear seat backrest. Yes I see the practical aspects.. and still.. lol.. just me I guess. Seems so much about about bikes is down to personal preference, I really like that. Great review thankyou.

Very nice positive review. I am getting mine in a few weeks, the only real concern as always with the Rebel 500, is the reports of how awful the suspension is. Great to hear from someone matching my height as when I test rode one of these I had exactly the same experience, very comfortable foot on the ground. I am actually downgrading to this bike so good to hear that the engine is solid at higher speeds. Good job. I nearly went for the S model, but in the end went for the basic because I wanted some colour choice and was not convinced that all the extras on the S model were going to be of use to me. I will fit a screen and one of the first things people note is the need to remove the headlight cowl if you fit most screens.

I considered one of these having short legs but the tank range of 150 to 170 miles would mean filling up every time I go for a ride. My previous bike had the same range and it was annoying.

I had kinda ruled this bike out as prob Meteor would do the trick but maybe worth a closer look. But if I do decide a cruiser type is the way forward I might wait to see what the Meteor 650 is like or even try a Harley.

I sat on one of these to determine whether I'd find the 1100 comfortable. No way could I get on with this riding position. My backside is far too low. Nice bikes, though. The 500 is a reasonably torquey engine and handles well. Thinking about a Mk1 X-ADV750 with accessory motorcycle pegs so I can vary where my feet are.
