I have put a good amount of miles on a Vulcan 500 and I can tell you 40hp is plenty for a beginner bike and you can still have a lot of fun and go on trips and what have you. Dont let all these comments about needing bigger engines fool you.

How did this turn into a pissing contest in the comment section?? I'm a newbie looking for a smallish engine that i wont be an idiot with and honda is a reliable company and the rebel is a decent entry level bike im looking at. Throwing suggestions is great! but it isn't a requirement to be a complete tool in order to suggest something else. A few jokes and ball busting is expected but you guys seem to relate bike engine size with dick size or something its hilarious.

Timeless Eight my first bike was a Honda shadow 750 and the throttle was fairly stiff so it wasn’t too difficult to keep it under control. Just my two cents if you want an easy enough bike to start but don’t want to get too bored after a while the 500-800 class bikes are a safe bet. At least for cruisers I don’t have any experience on sport bikes or super sports.

malibu i just recently got a honda rebel 300 and its great. People love the bike and are always admiring and asking questions about it. As long as it has two wheels and an engine, youre a biker in my eyes.

People can hate, this bike is going to sell like hot cakes to female riders. I know a girl who does not like harleys and wants a light weight mechine that is fuel efficient without leaking oil. So the rebel 300 is perfect for her and I will recommend it to her asap!

My wife wants one. I told her to go with the 300 and ABS rather than a 500 w/o it. She really wants a Grom though as I have one and she loves it. She's debating now though because if she gets a Rebel she could take our son to school on it and still ride to work afterwards. The Rebel is definitely a great family of bikes.

I'm glad I have my own memories of putting 58k on a cbr250r and doing two 980 mile days and an Iron butt on it. Some of these comments would have you think a small bike explodes over 70mph, gets hurled off the road by just the gravitational influence of a passing truck, and is boring on day two.

Nope, just some nice open stretch of highway and likely some wind at our backs. I just got a Z125 last night and was limiting at 67 going down the highway too. Once I swap the sprocket to 15t I'll likely be able to hit 70. It's not that uncommon really.

Didn't realize they were doing a redesign on the Rebel, it looks fantastic! Can't wait to hear a more in depth review.

I frickin LOVE this Bike and I'm a returning older rider who grew up on British Bikes and a deep love for Triumph Classics - this will be the Bike that gets me on 2 wheels again. Interesting that Spurge dismissed the Rebel 500 as soulless in one of the Highside/Lowside discussions - I think Revzilla missed a trick by getting this guy to review it - I would have much preferred either Lemmy or Joe since both might have more empathy with this type of ride ...

I have a Rebel 500ABS on its way to me, not here yet. This will be my third bike, and I will be quite happy with it. The only cruiser style, small enough, with mid-range controls. In my opinion, it will be perfect for me

BEST REVIEWS OF BIKE AND MOTORCYCLE GEAR ARE FROM REVZILLA. KEEP THEM COMING

It's really simple to pick which one you should get: if you do more highway riding get the 500, if you do more city riding get the 300.

I haven't been on a bike in about 15 years when I used to ride dirt bikes. So even with that experience, I consider myself a new rider. I just bought a new Yamaha V-Star 650 and I wish I seen these videos before I made my purchase because I really like this Rebel 500.

I had a 250 Rebel a couple of decades ago, my second bike after a Honda 125 and the first bike I could take on the freeway. All I could think of at the time was I wish it were a real cruiser like a Harley. At the same time I was having a ton of fun on it without realizing it.

I'm saving up for this bike, well actually the 500 ABS, can't wait!

My first bike was a 1985 Honda Shadow 500, which I got in 2013. Would love to test ride this one and compare. The Shadow was great for back-roads, commuting, and could still hold its own on the highway.

These are very nice machines, there would be a world of difference between an average sized person on these and you guys. The design is fantastic.

I've been torn between tweaking/bobbing either a Yammy Bolt or a Harley Street 500 for an in-town lightweight scoot/pub-hopper when I'm not in the mood for any of my heavyweights, but I'm a Honda and Triumph guy. This might just be my thing, and it looks like it's ready to bolt on forward controls with no major hassle.

Liking this more than the bolt. I recently went Guzzi and finally get the cruiser thing 4 suuuure!

Cool Fucking bike. Nice modern look. I could see this as a great starter bike. Nice platform to customize.

I think this is the perfect bike for me. I want an iron 883 or forty eight harley but feel like I need to add some experience under my belt before I hop on one of those bikes. Plus im a college student and this is alot more affordable and still looks cool imo.

Honda stands for quality. Honest words. These bikes like ideal cruising by the beach.

Lot of comments here about how beginners would be fine having more than 500cc to start with. Sure. That may be true for some. Others might not be comfortable with that kind of power or the weight that comes with it. Smaller bikes also have a mpg and price advantage. If someone wants to get around town on as little money as possible they'll buy an old 250 and ride for days on $10 in gas.

Jon Findlay Daily Rebel 250 rider here, I pay at most about $45 a month for gas, and that’s me being adventurous. It’s about $2.50 per fill up every third day since I do 40 miles round trip for work. I bought the bike for $1,000 and just keep on chugging along, insurance was less than $200 for the whole year.

I'll be getting my first bike soon, I am set on a cruiser and honestly I'm digging this bike a lot. However 6k for a bike I won't ride everyday is a bit much. You have to at taxes, dealer fees and if you're financing. It adds up quickly. That's why the 300 looks more appealing monetarily speaking

I love the design of the new rebel line. I feel like it sort of copied the style of the Kawasaki Vulcan s, which I also really like. not like a carbon copy, just the new sort of style of cruiser.

as a new rider im pretty much set on getting the 500, i just wonder why honda put only one rather small disc up front with those larger tires? i would think for new riders they would have put a little more stopping power on it but maybe they were worried about new riders going into panic mode and with a softer braking experience youre less likely to lock up? idk maybe they were trying to save money or make it more affordable by now making ABS standard? thats my only concern about it, everything else seems perfect for me in my current stage

found my cruiser! was considering the bolt, but I'd rather go for this.

seriously considering the 500 for my first bike.

Make a mod series with this bike like you did with the Harley iron 833

This is a significant bike in this range. kudos to Honda! great design, you don't have to look like a dork on your first bike. get the 500 skip the 300 which is for other countries.

I didn't sit on a Bike for 15 years. Looking into retirement I thought now is the time for a Bike again pulling behind an RV. So I am 5'6 bought me an old 250 just to get back into it. Now getting a little more serious about it and wanted a bike that lasts (may be the last one that I buy). I tried on the Harley Davidson Street 500 and the Honda Rebell 500. I drove both on a weekend and about 300 miles each. The price point of the Honda is 1000 Points better than the HD. Driving both the HD 500 and the Honda 500 I have to say that I'll think the Honda feels better in the city for some reason. That could be a personal preference because I thought the seat on the HD could be some inches further back. The HD, in my opinion, has a little more umpf on the high end behind 95. But I'll think (personal opinion) the tiny little more umpf behind 95 is not worth the 1000 points more out of my savings.

Nothing about this bike will totally knock your socks off. It's pretty plain. Gets great MPG. Plenty of power for light highway work and city riding. The big added draw has to be how easily Hondas are customized and the good aftermarket selection for them generally. I've seen new Rebels bobbed out and they look pretty damn cool.
