For me, this bike looks dope! Especially in the blue and orange colorways!!

Seems like a recent decent urban commuter. Spritely, Honda-reliable, economical, roomy. There are still the RE 650s, though... Gotta say, double front mudguards look absolutely stupid, no matter what bike they're on! Dumping the high, white one would help a LOT with those looks.

Thank you. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda".

I would love to see just a color matched visor on that bad boy

I said down below in response to Duncan, that I didn't like the white accessories. As the video progressed, they started to make more sense. Possibly a replacement for my 390 Duke as a second bike, behind my big scrambler.

If you want to dye plastic, it's easiest when it's white and basically impossible with dark colors. So if you're only gonna offer 1 color plastics that's the best one to do IMO

Couriers used to ride all over the UK on CX500. Heavier bike with 50hp. You cant ride many places anymore at 120mph+......so, its enough.

Just test rode one from Honda, very light, extremely light clutch, which after a TT900 for 12 years is a bonus, good in traffic and again quite torquey even after being used to a 900, obviously hasn’t got the acceleration but lots going for it. Not keen on digital speedos, can’t really see it in bright sunlight. All round quite fun!

I would wait for the CL750 with the same engine as the transalp/hornet

It looks so goood AMBATUKAM!!!!!!!!!

What's the jacket you're wearing?

@MOTOBOB VLOGS What are those boots you're wearing mate?

I definitely prefer the look of the scram 411… I keep thinking that give it a year or two and there will be a load of accessories for the Honda, especially if rally raid get their hands on it

Parts bin special…rather have the CB500F version if I wanted a Honda commuter of this ilk..saving some cash in the process

They should have made cb350 or cb500 scrambler based on current cb350rs or gb350s model

This has to be compared to the Triumph new 400 scrambler. How’s a single cylinder ride compare to this twin?

Bring me the 1100 version but back to the video I did not expect to like this unit as much as I did. I think the royal kind of really upset a few people we have a ton of scrambling models now

Please where is the air filter?

Will a passenger not burn their leg on the exhaust? It looks pretty high up.

I can see many reasons to buy this over a Scram or Hymalayan.. mainly the extra power of course… but it’s not a looker. Without the accessory bodywork it just looks like a jacked up cruiser (which it is).. personally I’d look at the Benelli Leoncino 500 or the Fantic Caballero 500.. both much much nicer looking and both equally bargain price.

Nothing wrong with jacked-up cruisers, although this isn't because the Rebel is only a normal bike in cruiser clothes. I don't like the white accessories. I do like the Fantic, but the Benelli is a bit lardy for a 500. And it will depreciate like crazy.

I love how LC500 looks from the back side…much better than RE Scram 411 i guess. BTW RE Himalayan & classic has a lot issue of chassis/frame broken right?

It does catch the 70's vibe a bit, but only it's mother could love the way it looks.

I disagree with that. It follows the metro-cruiser aesthetic, which blends the classic stance with practical and futuristic (punk even?) design. Admiring both bikes, I imagine that one day when we’ve moved onto another planet, there’s a random collection of space-craft materials around and someone builds these machines. My eyes see my imagination coming to life with these bikes design.

I love it. Love the retro looks. My budget was 5k but I am tempted to stretch to this. I think this will be fine for the motorway. If traffic is doing 70 I'll probably not be looking to overtake anyway.

You can Go easily on the motorway with this.

I like it, but the original cl350, cl450 bikes were so much better looking

I feel very deep Love for this Bike. Its Not perfect yes But for me it is.

The look is the entire reason this and the rebel got those sells :v..... Well, that and everyone and their grandma, promoting it as a beginner bike. Not sure where all the hate for these beautiful bikes is coming from , lol. I want it, but from what I'm gathering, it won't do so good at 70mph on the highway.

This is definitely a marmite bike… However in the flesh it’s actually a lot nicer than expected.

This bike with the white mudguard and other white accessories looks horrific. I've seen the bike without these white attachments and it looks rather nice, nevertheless I imagine that this bike is going to bomb because 46 HP is too little for anyone to be interested due to the fact that beginner riders are going to go more towards either the Rebel 500 or the CB500F. This is something in-between that simply seems lacking in every respect. The LCD dash is just about useless if it's sunny, the amount of HP is insufficient for highway speeds and those looking for a city bike just for commuting will probably go for a scooter or a 125 to 300 cc bike. I don't see a target public that will be interested in this bike because it's neither here nor there.

So Bob's thrown a leg over all 3 new bikes. Come on, American Honda, give us the 3 new bikes with one the disappointing color you'll allow us to have.

Alloy wheels makes it look cheap and cheerful. I'd prefer spoked. They need to add around 4" to the pillion space

Spoked wheels are being replaced because they are unnecessarily complicated. Especially when patching a flat tire, compared to alloy wheels.

buying a bike for its sound is stupid

The tank spoils the overall design. Doesn't suit the scrambler look.and looks out of proportion. Designed for the cruiser. Looks like what it is. A parts bin special

To much toalks. Without engine and muffler sound. Ajjjajjjajjj

Alot of crap sounding bikes are stupid 🙉
