I got the Rebel 300 a couple months ago, and I agree with your assessment. I use it for short hops to work on week days, and on the weekends I cruse the back roads at 55-60 for a couple of hours. I'll probably upgrade to a more capable mid-range bike in a year or two, just to expand my travel options, but thus far the 300 has been a great first street bike.

There are better highway bikes that play in the financial pool.

Here in Canada, people drive at 100, 110 on the right lane that'd be 62-70 mph I think. I did a lot of highway back in 2005-2007 on my 1981 Honda Cm 400 Twin. How does that Rebel compares to that knowing that its a single but fuel injected and 6 speed?

I’m doing 80-85 sustained on highways like almost daily. I’m also not overrevving 5th. Like 5th gets very little attention from me whereas I’m full throttle in 6th usually on highways though.

Awesome. You have to remember, I'm nearly 6'4" tall and about 210 lbs. That Rebel wasn't meant to lug around a person like me. It was a good bike for me to learn on...but it was by no means a great highway traveler.

Countries all over the planet have 300cc and less bikes as the standard and they dont have issues. Granted we have long stretches of highway but I think it comes down 100% to rider size. im 5'4" 135lbs, i deal with Houston insane traffic all the time, interstates at 75-80ish. Never a problem. Im not shaken to death, I do have a liquid filled seat cover that helps tremendously and a shorty windshield. Those two simple things make a world of difference.

I have the rebel 300 with 2500 miles on it and I get 69 miles per gallon. Some stop and go and some 45, 65, and 75 miles per hour. Just did a 153 mile ride and used 2.2 gallons of fuel. The low fuel light blink at a 150 miles. It is possible to get 200 miles out of a tank before it's completely empty. I believe that if you cruise at 45 miles an hour you should get 75 miles per gallon. The rebel 300 is a great little cruiser.

I find no problem with the seat. I used to ride bicycles all the time and this feels like sitting in a Cadillac. The right hand numbness is bad though, any tips on that?

@MotoNoir

Yes...get a clip-on throttle controller. They're amazing on longer rides. You control the throttle using your palm allow you to decouple your fingers and parts of your hand from the vibration. You can get them pretty much anywhere...revzilla, amazon, etc.

All that heat you feel is because the rad is wide open for the hot air to flow to the rider. On a CBR300R, exact same engine and speeds you feel no heat whatsoever because of the fairings.

The median speed I go is around 45mph on the freeway, unless when I go to work... 90mph in my car max at 12am.

I'm not in 6th gear when going 35-50mph, and that's not what I said at all. I said, "Otherwise, when you're at speed, like you're heading 70mph, it's really not too bad. In 6th gear, the bike is not too buzzy." If you're riding at 35-50mph in 6th gear, then yeah, I image it's not too buzzy...I also know you're not getting anywhere very quickly, because you're in the wrong gear for those speeds.

Ok, cool. I'm used to shifting to 6th gear at around 38 to 40mph when I go to work in the morning on hw 80 from Pearl ms going through jackson MS before I connected to i 220 interstate going north by north west-ish. So now you and I are on the same mental page gears-wise. Yeah i agree about the buzzing at 4th and even 5th gear at 35 to 50...( especially even 5th gear at 45 mph) I do see what others say about the rebel 300 being a city bike versus an interstate highway bike though. MPG wise- it prefers 52 mph or below in 6th gear to ensure betweeen 73 and 86 mpg depending on if you're doing 50/50 local highway/interstate I've noticed. I'm on fuelly.com and have tried a few different varieties of routes from my commute path.

@Nick Vetter : That's a tough question, depends on what kind of bike you're looking for. If you're into cruiser-ish bikes, Kawasaki Vulcans are great...you can custom fit the bike for taller people at no extra cost. The Yamaha Bolt is another great one. These are more full-sized bikes and very comfortable to ride for taller riders. Don't let the price tag fool you. If you're financing the bike, the prices are only 10-20 dollars in difference and the bikes are definitely beginner friendly. Or the Kawi Versys- it's a more adventure touring type bike, but great. And it comes in a 300cc version. I actually nearly bought one myself, before settling on the Rebel.
