I’ve been wanting to get my motorcycle license and looking for a good starter bike. This bike looks fun and simple. I’ve rode 250cc dirt bikes, but not a true cycle yet. I’m liking this bike

My man, My man ! You made a great vid here thanks. Let me tell you about making it home and aggressive riding. Last month I rear ended a pickup truck at 40 MPH. I had plenty of room but the truck stopped quick and when I braked the rear tire broke loose and slid off to the right. Well there was not enough room or time and I ate the tailgate. Three broken ribs a pneumothorax and collapsed left lung. A broken left ankle and road rash deluxe. If I had a family and a job we would all be fucked. All I can say is I bought the Rebel 500 ABS two Mos. later and I learned one thing. Wear all the gear all the time. Boots, shin and knee guards, armored jacket and a full coverage helmet, Gloves. Yes all this is a pain in the ass but it's better than the end results of a crash

Thanks for this video. I have a new Rebel 500 that I can test drive this Tuesday. I had been wondering just how well the 500 will do on the freeway and your video answered that for me. Much appreciated.

Great review! I got myself a Rebel a week ago and oh lord… I want to marry my Rebel 😄🥰

When I started riding I started riding I was nervous so I gradually moved up from a Grom > Rebel 300 > Rebel 500 I think it was a great progression.

Just picked up a Rebel 500 ABS SE yesterday that had 200 miles on it. Thanks for the great video as I learn more about this very fun bike!

Definite exact assessment of the bike. Same things i would have mentioned. 👍

Great review 👏 honest and informative

I love seeing the view from the Coronado Bay Bridge

Hey, I've been in and out of the San Diego area for quite some time now, but I don't really know too much about it. So that down comes to my request, I was wondering if maybe you can do a few videos where you explore some nice riding spots or even some local restaurants around just to show what SoCal has to offer. I think it'd be awesome to watch a local talk about it while also showing some people like me or even others that don't know much about some of the more hidden gems around the city or the SoCal area in general. Of course, it's just a suggestion, but I think it'd be pretty cool to watch some videos like this. Thanks for reading this, keep up the great work :)

Great video! I ordered the 2022 special edition

I grew up in sandiego/poway… its nice to see home

Sounds nice. I too own a 500s. Love it

Great video...thanks. Just recently got my license after doing my learners on a borrowed '79 Kawasaki Z500 which was so good to ride for 7 months. Tossing up between a Rebel 500 and the Kawasaki Vulcan 650...just not sure...

going up the coronado bridge.😍

This bike has perfect gearing and torque.

I am with you on family being at home. Reason I stopped riding a 600 found myself riding it too hard. I know have a duke 390 but although it handles superb in the corners, very perky and cool looking, light. But mate honestly the seat is like a brick wall and wind blast at higher speeds kills you after half an hour. Was looking at trading it in for a the rebel. Want something with the same grunt but better at touring or higher speeds over longer time capabilities and not going to be sore that quick. How does the two directly compare? Really appreciate your advice here. Have two weeks tops to make a decision lol

Thanks for the video! I put money down on one 3 weeks ago. Just waiting for it to come in now…its been years 😂. Considering your experience what jacket would you recommend? Getting back into riding again after 15 years and don’t really know much about gear. Thanks!

Get a Vance & Hines exhaust...sounds fantastic on this bike. Loud but not too loud, and has a beautiful deceleration growl.

I put a Hellfire Windshield on my 2022 SE 500 and it is sooooooo much nicer to ride on the highway ~! T-Rex highway bar is a fantastic choice as well ~! 199.99 if you buy from T-Rex directly. Also I rolled my handle bar forward and it gives you a little more bend in your arms and improves the handling more than I could explain ~! Kit

Gotta love Coronado Bridge.

Great review! The rebel 500 is top on my list for my first bike. How tall are you? Do you feel too big for the bike?

Thinking about getting the 500. Do you still recommend it or should I look for more power?

Hello! How that bike handling in the traffic jam? Thank you in advance.

Looking at this bike for my first bike. Thoughts on bike for beginner?

My Honda cm 400 custom from 1984 has 155000 km on it (aprox 96000 us miles) and has the same fuel milage as your new one. The engine has never been opened and i only had the original clutch replaced for the first time EVER about 2 weeks ago. The quality speaks for it self, does it not!! Btw, im thinking of buying a new 2021 500 rebel and sell my old cm 400, but then again that little 400 is in top shape and will probaly do 100000 miles more. A brand new 2021 500 rebel with NO xtras in Denmark is aprox 15000,-USD. Best regards from Denmark and stay safe and great video and infos on your bike

ive never rode a motorcycle before, i really want a 300, do you think I should start there or go for 500?

Do you think you could ride a bike like this long-distance? Thinking of taking weekend cruises down to LA occasionally and on a bike it would be a lot of fun! It's about 5 hours worth of driving from where I live here in Tempe AZ. Is it doable or is the seat too uncomfortable, riding position too harsh, any gripes?? Curious

Great review.. hmm your driving in my neighborhood... San Diego is home.. safe riding

Happy rider

How far do you live from work? That is one long ass trip man 😅

I have a C m X 500 I love it it's my last bike I am 66yrs Jeff Carins Australia

I'm curious if you could share a link to the exhaust you have on your Honda rebel 500

how do you feel about not having rpm gauge? beautiful bike though

Can someone answer this for me, I live in the south in a tiny town. At minute 10:56 of the video , is it legal to just cut between traffic like the gentleman in the video did. I thought like a car you’d have to wait your turn. That seems like a cop would stop him and give him a ticket if he’d seen that

Would a 6'2 fit this bike well without being uncomfortable, look too big for the bike, etc? Would love to get a motorbike license after I get my full drivers license and been looking at this bike for awhile now

Hello MotoMedicine, would a Rebel 500 or 1100 be a better bike for a newbie?

Hi Moto Medicine I’m currently riding KTM 125cc I live in uk 🇬🇧 I’m working to get my full license would you recommend this for someone who just pass his test ? And is the insurance per annually cheap ? Comparing this to Harley or triumph many thanks for your video

I really would like one for my first bike, but I can't seem to find a used model for a fair price. They cost as much as new.

im really considering this bike if i pass the test next summer how much was it total tax title and everything out the door?

Does that 2 bros exhaust have a baffle and do you wear ear plugs when riding?

was thinking about getting this bike as my first bike to learn on and to use to pass my test but i hear it's not really friendly for tall people.

What phone mount is that you are using ?

Do you think a 5’3 person can flat foot this motorcycle and also how many miles can you go till you have to fill back up?

10:55 Riding between cars like that would be illegal where I'm from(Vancouver, Canada). That is quite scary. Bikers are not allowed to ride between cars. But thank god for that, because people in this city don't know how to drive their cars anyway. They can't even stay in their own lane. You'd probably hit a few mirrors trying to do that here, on your first day.

Do you live on base in Coronado or civilian? Most squids ride much faster rice rockets. My 87 Rebel 450 does the trick. It's bulletproof not to mention good looking with whitewalls.🤙🏼

I don't know anything about motorcycles but I heard that every motorcycle should get premium gas not regular? You did 140miles on full tank?

Great video! How much do you weigh?

I know this is going to be a silly question, but how do you know when to shift gears with no rpm gauge...for a beginner

How much do you weigh bro? Considering buying this bike myself. Just wondering if itll give me similar performance as you.

How tall are you? How is it for long rides?

Do u think someone who’s is 5’7 could sit on it comfortably

Truly like your ride ?

Best riding clothes ever...NWU's! What rate?

can you cruse at 80mph with no issues ?

Is this bike equipped with abs?

See, this is why I can’t have nice things….anybody can make a video and claim to be an expert. I just watched 4 reviews on this exact bike - two said it had poor low-end torque and liked being revved high, two said it’s a low-end torque monster. This is why I watch youtube on mute most of the time, lol.

You had me till you said you got it up to 108 mph. lmao

says he needs to calm down his riding habit and got a bike to reflect that. five minutes earlier he talks about pushing the rebel to 108mph to keep up with reckless friends. maybe you need new riding partners instead of a bike change.
