kinda miss my honda rebel. this was my first big bike. sa lahat ng gusto mag honda rebel go for it promise this will be the bike that you will always miss. watched this video even if nagka rebel na ako noon.
best things about the rebel based on experience:
1. pinaka lightest clutch ever promise pinaka magaan. mas magaan pa kesa sa sniper155
2. masarap pakinggan ang exhaust. (best exhaust ay Diablo bom and yung vance and hince) yan dalawa pinaka the best
3. starts off as a heavy bike pero gagaan after a week.(speaking from me na galing sa KLX na sobrang gaan)
4. maraming maraming parts available(modification and accessories)
5. at high rpm maririnig mo na lalabas ang CBR spirit nya hahaha (same engine kase sa cbr500)
6. sobrang reliable ng bike. really a good beginner bike kase di madali masira if lage kang nagkakamali all in all very forgiving bike.
7. tipid sa gas pde na daily driver.
8. kahit na sabihin nila na beginner bike di ka parin mabibitin sa power

CONS:
1. akala mo marami chix magkakagusto pero in reality barumbadong mga lalake lalapit sayo at magpapapicture sa bike mo
2. might be madaling ma outgrow kase sa sobrang dali nya i drive feeling mo masarap na mag upgrade (can also a good kase pag tingin mo sa marketplace marami 2nd hand namababa mileage so dont have to buy a brand new bike)

This was my first bike in 2017. It was a fun bike. Plenty of power for a beginner but I outgrew it within 3 years. My only complaints were the seat being absolutely horrible and I could never find an exhaust that I really liked. I ended up keeping the Vance and Hines in the end. Own a Triumph Speed Twin now. Very happy to have had the Rebel as my introduction to motorcycling

Great bike for young beginners, and older riders getting back into riding, and wanting to get away from their 1000 lb gold wings. Best feature is that it limits you to two lane highways and city driving until you build up your confidence. I also recommend the non ABS brake model to be able to change brake fluid every two years. The bike is easy to change oil on, and I do so every season w/air cleaner. Too many riders don’t realize how much it costs to maintain their motorcycles if they don’t learn to do it themselves and take it to the dealership.

Caco's rebel arc needs a comeback.

My dream bike🙏👍💯 by far....
Thanks Sir Jinno for making a review to this bike. God bless po🙏

[pinayko]

Excited na tuloy ako makabili ng honda rebel next month 😊

[christansales]

Compare it with kawasaki eliminator not the Vulcan 650

[synystarjaytes]

The Horn button placement is based on Japan's law regarding horn. Japan doesn't really use horns that much. Only Honda does it on Japanese bikes though as far as I know.

[vincecortez]

Looking at this bike a few years ago... ended up with the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 ❤❤❤

[owodin]

Thanks for the great review this is gonna be my first bike

[rhiannonstudios]

If it didn’t look such a carbuncle I would have had one, went with Enfield Meteor 350 instead, beautiful looking bike.

Just wishing and hoping that Honda could launch rebel series in India as the consumers are really willing to go for an addition of Bobber type and low seat heights

[jethEngine]

The concern is that the key is located on the side, and there's a worry that someone might try to pull it out when stopped at a stoplight.

started with a rebel 500 and then added a tracer 9 gt. the rebel is probably the best city bike because its light, simple, and the engine or air from the radiator wont burn your legs but it is quite lacking on longer rides. the tracer on the other hand is the complete opposite. great for long rides but impractical in the city.

hello! im a 5'2" woman. can i safely ride this? 🙏

[rupamkotra]

My iggest issue with Japanese bikes are thumps or rumble, they just lack it. I prefer the longstroke Harley 440. Japanese bikes are usually high revving engines, not for low revving, usable torque motorcycles.

[herjas]

Thanks for such a nice video bro, this has been very insightful

[BugCatcherBilly]

Really want one just can’t find a 500 anywhere, just the 300

[backpacker]

the foot placment if asymetrical is a problem.

[ergunozdemir]

in hot countries like the Philippines the wind is not a big problem when riding, but in countries with short summers it is not a pleasure to ride such bikes🥶
