If you have speakers installed in your helmet you can also have the GPS tell you directions that way in case you forget to charge your watch. Stay safe out there!

Great job! At 5’5”, you’d be the tallest in my family 😂 (I’m only 4’11”, and my mom was shorter.) I love this color of the 500-I had a 2019 Rebel 500, and traded it in for my 1100, but I’m considering a 500 again after having rented one in Hawaii. I missed how light it is and to be able to flat foot a bike!

This is awesome! I've recently gotten the motorcycle bug and am hoping to take the MSF course soon so I can learn to ride! I've also been researching as to what will be the best first bike for me and the Honda Rebel 500 has been on my radar for awhile, and the more I think about it and research, it seems like the best suited bike for me once I do the MSF course and get my endorsement, so it's nice to find someone who's riding and enjoying it so I can see how it rides and handles. Looks like a wonderful and very forgiving bike! Very proud of you for the accomplishment you've achieved!! Stay safe out there and have fun!

An MSF course is worth it. It might seem a bit pricey, but that's another thing you will learn if you're a beginner; not much about motorcycling is actually cheap,,,,,,,,except gas if you're getting like 50+ MPG, or you get an inexpensive used bike and intend on doing almost no maintenance to it. You focus on the sticker price of a bike, then you decide to get it, then you can easily spend another $1000 on helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, riding pants, a lock, cover, phone mount, tank or tail bag.....

Well done. I started traveling from home to work..about 30mins ride. Had someone ride with me the first time which was great. I also knew the roads . When I wanted to travel further I rode with them again. They would stop to tell me what to improve on. Was fantastic. Still learning too.

@BayawKhem Ай бұрын

Hmm buy a helmet first and maybe riding jacket. Make sure you prioritize safety above all. Main reason they dont want us to ride is because of safety. But if you assure her that you'll take safety course, buy protective gears, im pretty sure she will say yes. Also, this motorcycle has very low seat and power is adequate - she might end up riding it lol

Hey AB, at the 7:23 & the 7:43 minute mark- there was a green light on your dash dial that lit up, and, a couple other times in the early part of the video-what was that "idiot light" at the center of the dash for? I'm seriously considering the rebel 500 for my first bike(I'm 58 years young now) I know I need to start out on a small "cc"d motorcycle. Doug🏍️👍😁🤓😎

Hello Douglas! That’s the Neutral indicator. You will never regret it when you get a rebel 500. As long as you know what you’re getting (its limitations) you will be pretty much happy and contented. I love it so much!

@@kenisaacson1259 the only mistake you will make is that you will never try. I have the same feeling as you. I get anxiety as well cause the drivers here are pretty bad. Why i did to gain confidence is ride it every weekend morning - less cars to deal with. You are doing great! You can overcome the anxiety and gain confidence in riding.

How did you practice downshifting in the neighborhoods? I’m barely practicing and I’ve honestly just been on second gear the whole time My first bike is a Honda shadow 750 I got it off my neighbor 😅

@BayawKhem 20 күн бұрын

@@chimichanga6089 Not sure how to explain it since im a visual learner, so I watch a lot of youtube videos about downshifting lol But first, I ride my bike only every sunday morning lol no traffic around my neighborhood during that time. Look for a straight road to practice going up at least to third gear. When you are about stop, use engine breaking (while putting slight pressure on front break) then as you slow down, you downshift to lower gear to match the speed (while adding more pressure on breaks, gradually). Motojitsu has a lot of informative videos on yt. I’m not really good in explaining lol

Display is pretty hard to see under direct sunlight, but pretty visible during night time. I don’t think there’s an option to brighten up the display.
