As a 5'2" dude, there really aren't many bikes that accommodate that height, especially in the higher performance category. The Rebel 500 welcomed me with open arms as a newer rider: I can nearly flat-foot the bike, and it provides enough power that even after two whole years with the bike, I'm still having fun!

I am 69 and the Rebel 1100 DCT is my first bike. If you are a senior like I am, take a safety course and learn how to ride a small bike. Then get your licence. The Rebel 1100 DCT with automatic transmission and cruise control for long highway trips is a "very easy" ride for both around town and on the highway. Three settings - sport mode, if you want to do wheelies, standard for riding around town, and rain mode, lower power and max traction. I ran on rain mode until I was comfortable to move up. Bottom line, if you are a new rider, do not be afraid to to get a Rebel 1100 or 1100 DCT as your first bike. I wish I would have got into riding at a younger age, but better late than never:-)

This year, at 30 years old, I bought a brand new Rebel 1100 as my first motorcycle. Started riding in May. Adjusted the power levels until I learned how to handle it. Love it. It's a comfortable commute/street bike. I'll keep it forever. Plan to get a sport bike for the track, and a dirt bike for fun. Ride your own ride.

The Honda rebel 250 will always hold a special place in my heart, that was the bike that I learned how to ride motorcycles.

I really like the look of the rebel 500. It has its own style, doesn’t look like a cheap copy of some other bike. Seems like a fun happy little bike that people keep around even after they get their bigger faster second bike.

I'm 5' and just got my Rebel 1100 DCT and love it more than I thought I would! 👍🏽 I went from a 300 and it doesn't feel heavy. Has all the power I need and more to keep up with and pass through highway traffic. It's great! 😍

[Snoop_rico]

Been riding all my life, and the Rebel 500 is by far my favorite bike ever.

[leospeeds]

I bought my 1st bike (‘22 Rebel 500 ABS) this year at 37yrs old after watching YammieNoob. Very forgiving bike and filters through traffic very well. Never getting rid of it, I want a Grom and CB1000R as it’s stablemates in the future.

Feels fitting you upload this as I recently picked up my 2021 Rebel 500 ABS.

I love it so far!

[beauregardquitman]

The old Rebel 450 was actually a nice little bike. It was my wife's first bike and she kept up with my on my Valkyrie (I didn't really try to out run her) on the highway. That 6th gear worked well.

[Nyquil_SR]

I used to work in that complex off 360. I also used to take those back roads to bypass traffic on 2222 too. Interesting watching a video and knowing exactly where you're going.

[GeorgeLista]

I tend to want to switch off reviews or skip/increase playback speed but the pace and compelling info kept me onboard the whole way. Credit to you.

[nickrider]

After 20 years riding the Rebel 250 and getting use to the power, I bought the Rebel 500..wow, what a bike, I've already overtaken several cars and a scooter ! Have added some leather tassels to the handlebars for that cool look...had to take them off because they kept whiplashing my forearms 😉

[DeusExHonda]

My wife got a rebel 500 as her first bike. I had to try it out and it was ok. It was too cramped for a taller guy (I'm 6'1") and I kind of hated the clutch. But it's what she wanted and she really likes it. Also, it's light enough for me to pick the back end up off the ground and move it sideways in the garage.

[matthewpearson]

got a 2022 Honda rebel 500 for a first bike.. already put 5000 kms on it in a few months . love it . it does alright on the highway. wish i got the 1100 though since id like to have more torque, think my second bike will be a sports bike and ill keep the rebel for more chill rides . definitely a great first bike with enough power to have fun

[jrbass]

I rode a Rebel 500 from Portland Oregon to Northern California, didn't miss a beat !!!

[QuestionThings]

I came across one of these new rebels about a month ago while I was working (drive around town for a living) and I thought it looked like a pretty cool crusier so I stopped to take a peek at it...was absolutely shocked to see a rebel badge on the bike. it was the 1100 model. back in my day you got made fun of for riding a rebel...now they actually make a cool one. who knew? 🤷‍♂️ genuinely would ride one of those and enjoy it

[davidbreen]

i own the Rebel 500. 2019, it's pretty quick, i can hop on the interstate and do 85mph with the best of bikes. i don't need to do 100 mph on a motorcycle. at 5' 6'' 135 lbs, 67 yrs old i am happy. i don't do group rides, or wheelies. yup as a cruiser, it fits what i want.

[hendrixc]

First bike was Vulcan 500 and to this day its still a very comfortable bike to ride around

I'm glad you mentioned cruise control on the Rebel 1100, but you should have mentioned that it is also available with a DCT/automatic transmission.
