Can The Rebel 500 HANDLE A Passenger?! (Let's REALLY Find Out...)

i can't wait to get the new 2020 Rebel 500. Honda pretty much changed everything like better shocks,brakes,lighting etc.

[@LifeOfBurch]

The brakes aren’t any different. Only noticeable changes are suspension, seat, lights, clutch, and a couple other odds and ends. In my opinion, the 2020 is nice, but you can easily buy a 2017-2019 and put even better upgrades than the 2020 has, and come out spending less money in the end. I’m going to be doing a price reveal for my bike soon. Stay tuned!

The CB250 from 12 years ago also has a 345lb passenger Max spec, and came with the passenger area to the stock seat, strap and folding pegs. It only had a 234cc carb. motor and handled 300lbs just fine up to 60mph. Little slower up steep hills, but you are only checking flatlander riding anyway. Posture looked a bit better on the CB. Similar old fashioned pre load small shocks.

[@STho205]

Braking on those CBs were a bear though with a passenger. Cable drum front brakes. Plan a stop far ahead.

[@LilGrimey5Star]

I don’t think you’ve done a video on the Rebel 300 and having 2 people on it, I think that would be a great video to do too

[@xfiringsquadx]

Can it do 2 up? Of course. Those of us that grew up on dirt bikes are all too familiar with throwing a friend on the back of a 50 or 85 so a 500 can definitely do it. The real question is how well it'll do it and for a 500 I'd say it does it pretty well. The Vulcan S probably takes the cake with 2 up riding in this class but this bike isn't far behind especially considering how much smaller it is.

[@davidroberts7490]

Very interesting video 👍 I have a crf 250 rally, and myself and my wife are about the same wieght as you guys. We are both probably slightly shorter. I made a higher seat for my wife to sit on to give her more leg room and it works really well. I think your wife is sitting too far back. Maybe you need to reposition her footpegs and maybe make her part of the seat a bit higher. Try swapping the pegs so they put her feet further forward.

Can't order, according to Honda. At least for the Rebel 500 SE ABS my son owns. That one was doled out to particular dealers.

I’ve got the 2022 Rebel 500 ABS SE… it was perfect to learn on for me. I have to admit I didn’t think it would perform well riding with my wife. I’m a stalky 5’6” 190lbs and my wife is 5’7” 130lb. Bike does plenty well. Her only complaint was her knees a little too much but I fixed the issue when I ordered her the aftermarket dual length single seat and a backrest.

[@JustPityHD]

What aftermarket seat did you bought? I'm looking to buy the rebel too but my girl is almost as tall as me, 6', and I thought the stock seat would be a pain to ride on so if you could tell me which is and is the difference very noticeable

[@noot7109]

Simply adding a trunk+rack to my honda rebel 300 caused some kind of weight imbalance. It went from feeling nimble and light to slightly heavy and when i took my hands off the bars during deceleration the handlebars wobbled a little bit. It made me paranoid about getting death wobbles on the highway so I took the trunk off and it went back to being light and nimble and the handlebars stay smooth if i remove my hands now. SO how the crap does it not happen with a passenger? Or is it something people don;t notice? OR is it a difference between the 500 and 300cc versions?

[@corbinroberts949]

[@samkirk3509]

Basically, if you could do it over again would you have ever gotten the 300? Or would you just recommend the 500

[@MrCODEmaster00]

New riders (in general, I forget his wording) are told 2 different things by Motorcycle KZbinrs (FortNine, motovloggers, etc.) and they both boil down to the same thing. 1. If you're a bigger guy, if you want that power or are on the interstate a lot, you want the 500. 2. If you're just starting out, the 300 can do interstate speeds, but it won't be passing people, it's a good /starter/ bike, some MSF Classes use it, so on so on. Essentially both points tell people asking to go for 500 or get the 300 and drive it for 3 months to a year, or whenever you feel comfortable and try to sell the 300, the Rebels hold value since the new buyers are always considering them, it's Honda so it's reliable, it's a cruiser so it has better insurance than a sport bike, it's a bike that's well liked by a lot of people. *Short of it:* multiple sources advise to get a Rebel 500, whether that's from the git go, or whether it's "once you get used to it and if you're intimidated and have concerns about faster bikes". All roads point to 500.

[@LifeOfBurch]

What MrCODEMaster00 said is pretty spot on. If I could do it over, I’d just get a 500 from the beginning. BUT with that said, that was my plan all along until I found such a crazy deal on my 300, which is one of the perks to the 300- how much cheaper they can be found. So I think it all depends on which one you find a great deal on first, and what your plans are with the bike. From what I’ve seen, the 500 will easily cruise at what the 300’s top speed is. I plan to do a video soon going in-depth about it all, but hopefully that helps!

@@samkirk3509 When walking in new terrain, it's easiest to follow the footsteps of the person in front of you. What I mean to say, is Burch found a crazy good deal on the 300, if you found a super good deal, if it's getting you on a bike for the first time, I'd personally go for the super good deal on the 300 if I could, and as with Burch and so many others, sell the 300 and change bikes whenever you're ready to go faster, the 300 holds it's value quite well, so it's not a bad bike at all.

Man I just bought the passenger seat(stock), windscreen and sissy bar for mine. (Still waiting for the sissy bar though. May be a wise purchase for you man. I'm gonna try my wife on my 300.

[@LifeOfBurch]

I’ve thought about a sissy bar, but it’s not really the style I’m going for. May just stick to the VFR when it’s time for two up riding. We’ll see though! I’m always changing my mind 😂

100cc in Vietnam is a family van. 2 kids on the tank, wife in the back and a baby on her lap.

How tall are you guys? I really like the rebel 500, but I'm worried cuz my wife and I are 5'10" and 6'3". NVM, I missed the part around 11:20

[@LifeOfBurch]

Ohh yea at those heights I’d say the Rebel will probably be a bit cramped for you guys. Doesn’t hurt to go to a dealership and sit on one to try it out though! Also, DePretto Moto makes a forward control kit that would give you about 6.5” more leg room, but that still wouldn’t help with the passenger leg space unfortunately.

good information thx Burch

[@youtubecensors5419]

At 5:20 when he said that he couldn't even tell that she was back there I got a bit worried...

[@ertugrulghazi1601]

💀💀💀

[@mirekkudzia7052]

Very informative video, Thank you very much for your effort.

[@westerntrend]

After this video, I'm definitely going to buy the Rebel..

[@backyardr.c.channel4732]

Did you have to re tune the ecm or anything else on the bike after installing the muffler? Did you do any mods on the air intake as well?

[@yamaharider8014]

It's perfectly apparent to me that ur wifey MUST get a motorcycle endorsement from the DMV, and the Rebel becomes her ride!😎👍😺

[@JesseCase]

Wait!! Burch has a wifey, his favorite motorcycle, and the wifey will ride with him?!?! How does this lucky dawg keep pulling this off?!?!

[@JesseCase]

@Señor Why Me Yeah I found that out about a week or two after I wrote that comment. At least he had it going for a little while.
