Just purchased the 500s. Love it

[@leeinwis]

😱😱

[@thecloud4489]

Cant believe Honda made this. Was super excited when I heard about it awhile back. Thanks Honda and thanks HondaPro Kevin for the video! Its a beauty!

[@HondaProKevin]

+The Cloud Thanks for the kind words! Greatly appreciated... Thanks for checking out the video too and for posting up!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Both the 300 & 500 are very nice looking restyled bike. Cool. Very cool indeed.

[@Rei36chambers]

I love it. I'm planning on getting one. It's still a dream at this point.

[@alvipace]

This bike is just amazing, my arrived last week and i love it !

[@HondaProKevin]

+Alvin Pace That's awesome! How many miles have you got on her now? If you don't mind me asking... What made you buy the Rebel 500 over what else is on the market? Also, thanks for checking out the video and for posting up too!

[@alvipace]

It's still 800km :) , comparing build quality and price from iron, Vulcan and bolt . Looks amazing plus it's a honda , you can never go wrong

[@mogggasso2140]

It looks easy to ride, light weight, not expensive. Nice bike.

[@ronmendoza4916]

Homerun? Hell No! The Rebel 500 is a Grand Slam! I'm getting a red one this summer 2019.

[@rocklee7898]

Do it! >=]

[@josegarza9921]

I love this rebel , I wish I could afford to buy one .

[@thecloud4489]

Save and one day, you will own it!!! You can dooooo it!

[@cagednm69]

Man I'm a sport bike guy but the Rebel is really tempting me to try a cruiser/bobber type even as a leisure bike to run the local errands. The Thailand guys already have begun selling a ton of customization parts for it and its cheap!!!!!!!

[@jayfulton6789]

I'm about to buy my first bike. I am chosen the Yamaha fz-07. But this all black rebel looks awesome

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

OMG i LOVE IT. I have an 03 rebel & love it alot. I do wish it still had exhaust on both side, and not fond of where the key is but, that's outweighed by the new LED light, a fuel gauge and an extra 250 c.c. Honda does it again. Getting one asap.

[@DreamhopMusic]

Cool video mate :)

[@NavyVetGamer]

I just bought my first bike from Honda and I was looking at a 2016 rebel but got a 2006 honda shadow vt600cd and a week later they got the 2017 rebel 500s in the show room. I wish I would have waited

[@NavyVetGamer]

but I do love my shadow

[@HondaProKevin]

+Southerneagle83 The Honda Shadow 600 VLX Deluxe is a great beginners bike! Sold a ton of those things over the years. The only downfall is that 4-speed transmission as you're always looking for that 5th gear haha. Funny thing is that engine sounds better than almost any other v-twin cruiser Honda makes when you throw a set of aftermarket pipes on them. Honestly, I don't think I'd take a Rebel 500 over your 600 Shadow unless you just love the styling and seating position etc over your Shadow. Your Shadow 600 is actually faster than the 750 Shadow lineup... You're almost 100lbs lighter and make only 1-4 horsepower less depending on the model and on that bike comparison I'd take the Rebel any day of the week but... You're only 30lbs heavier than the Rebel and only make 5 less horsepower so it's not that big a difference when comparing performance specs. Plus you lose that typical "cruiser" sound when you go with the Rebel 500 as it's a parallel-twin engine versus your v-twin engine. Both bikes are great though, just depends on what attributes float your boat more.

[@kenpstok151]

I want one so bad now.

[@HondaProKevin]

+Ken Stok Haha wait till you take one for a test ride, you'll want one even more! Honda hit a homerun on this bike, she's a blast to ride around town and just easy to ride overall!

[@kenpstok151]

It's weird because this cool looking bike just started showing up on my feed. I am a Ruckus owner now and I love Honda anything and was really sold on getting a Grom for my next purchase and BOOM! the Rebel. I like bobber styled bikes. I am essentially a Harley Sportster guy but with pricing and practicality these days the Rebel is perfect

[@TickMan26]

Really clean video!

[@ronmendoza1274]

My next and last bike I'm getting.

[@HondaProKevin]

Heck yeah! Best of luck on making it happen as soon as possible ;)

[@ronmendoza1274]

@@HondaProKevin I hope.

[@Exploder11]

I was really set on a silver Rebel with ABS as my first bike. Looks like I'll put that ABS money toward my jacket and gain 6 lbs.

[@waz00z]

i was also keen for some riding footage.. im a short guy and would like to know what its like to move around - weight wise and how it corners.

[@skoja4738]

Nice review. Thank you.

[@HondaProKevin]

+Jimmie Dimmick Thanks for saying "thank you"... Always nice when people show appreciation for posting content so thank you again ;)

[@majedaleisa]

I am also considering the Ninja 400. I am a new rider. The ninja has LED lights and better instrument cluster that shows the gears and has slip deferential gears. Also will save about $900. What do you guys think?

[@JoelManrique]

What's the best way to know if the bike has ABS? I'm trying to buy one and the seller doesn't seem to know if it has one or not...thanks

[@gregww101]

They really went wonky on the ABS option and colours. In Canada, Black is the only colour without ABS. In the US it's the only colour with it. Bizarre.

[@madmax2069]

Greg Ward ikr, I was wanting grey with ABS, but my only option is black with ABS. I don't understand it myself.

[@HondaProKevin]

+Greg Ward lol yeah, sometimes it really baffles me on how they choose color options for each country. Typically, we always get the shaft on colors and only get (1) color to choose from here in the states on certain models and then the rest of the world gets 4-5 to choose from etc.

[@Exploder11]

For 2018 in the US the ABS version is silver!

[@Exploder11]

On the matter of accessories, do you think this bike will get a thicker seat and foot peg extensions?

[@ericw1261]

Great video! Can I ask - what type of video camera are you using?

[@HondaProKevin]

+Eric W Thanks! It was shot with my Samsung Galaxy S7 with a DJI OSMO Mobile to make everything smooth and not so jerky as I walk around. It was actually supposed to be shot in 4K so it was even better but for some reason my settings were reset.

[@ericw1261]

Wow. Crazy good video for a phone!!

[@HondaProKevin]

+Eric W Oh yeah, for a phone it's incredible! Especially when shot in 4K and paired up with a gimbal to keep everything smooth. It's really amazing how far tech has came when you can get such killer quality out of a phone.

[@Mr.Kitten96]

Idk if I should get his or 2017 shadow

[@HondaProKevin]

+Mr. McMan If you're unsure based off of their performance specs between the Rebel 500 VS Shadow 750, the writeup I did over at www.hondaprokevin.com/2017-rebel-500-review-specs-cruiser-motorcycle-bobber-bike-cmx500 may be of some help as I break down the nitty gritty horsepower, torque, power-to-weight etc between them. Personally, I'd take the Rebel 500 any day of the week. The only thing the Rebel doesn't have and to some people it'll be a big deal is when it comes to sound... If you want that typical v-twin cruiser sound, you're not going to get it as the Rebel 500 has a parallel-twin engine versus a v-twin engine that's in the Shadow. They have pretty different seating positions too with your overall riders triangle layout so that may help on making the decision too. Hope the info is of some help ;)

[@madmax2069]

I really hope I can get financed for this bike.

[@dpajc056]

Great looking bike. Wish it was had chrome air cooled looking engine though

You say a ton of accessories. Honda only has a windshield, power socket, and side bags available in the US market.

[@chancer194]

they plan to come out with alot more

[@suharnyotoduri8838]

My dream..

[@adrianniemiec8669]

How much is this bike ?

[@MrSiloketh]

i can see myself bobbing this one out

[@jrmaster183]

At 6'3 280 i should be good on this bike right ?

[@papapudding]

Look at Revzilla's riding review, two big guys riding it and giving us their feedback.

[@B2_Outdoors]

Are the handlebars 1" or 7/8"?

[@ripmax333]

7/8

[@matopendic8669]

how big it is compared to iron 883?

[@rjshredder2377]

Smaller

[@leeinwis]

@@rjshredder2377 smaller yet

[@fauveride]

pretty pretty

[@georgewkush542]

[@filipemartins7802]

Dean Tuna its an option to put rear seat

+Wade Rivers lol! At first I thought you guys were crazy but more and more people keep saying that so I guess it's me that's crazy and maybe in denial haha!

[@glenpower9630]

The front end look so weak.

[@funkybassguy68]

I’m a die hard Honda fan , I’ve owned four so far and I would buy this bike but I find the gas tank design hideous. Its perfectly sizes for me . I’m a short guy and its most likely a fun little bike to ride but the gas tank blows it for me. Am i the only person who hates that tank?

[@mordys6305]

nice scooter. small, quiet, soulless, unimposing great honda accord characters
