We put the Rebel to the TEST to find out if it could handle having a passenger on the back of it. There's some conflicting info out there as to how well it would actually do, but I think our little "test course" helped show the Rebel 500's performance in pretty much any situation. Make sure you check out the post-ride interview at 10:43 to see how my wife REALLY feels about us going out on the Rebel together...

yes we did it there. In leyte when i was grade school theres the kawasaki 100cc two stroke extended the rear grab handle of welded steel bar and flatbars so that it can fit 5 people with driver ,, when having a girl passenger she will have to be seat behind us.. When going stiff uphill the driver tealt his head forward so the mc wont flip.. That uphil is located @san esteban burauen leyte. Hahah just sharing😂

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.

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.

Honda Rebel 500 kinda seems small for a passenger, but then again, it's not a big touring bike like the Honda Goldwing. I mean, just compare that to Honda Navi, and it's ridiculously too small for it to carry a passenger if not awkward.

According to the laws of physics, the Rebel is design only for driver only, because once the pillion passenger sits, her butt is almost behind the axle of the rear wheel. You didn't experience loss of steering control because your wife didn't weigh much and because of the weight of the 500cc machine. It would be a different story is the Rebel is a 150cc motorcycle.

I've had over 500lbs on a reb 250 before with no problems. Me, passenger and gear. The only advantage the 500 has would be highway passing capability.

Well considering the fact that my 110cc TVS Jupiter can carry 5 of my friends along with me whenever we go to play cricket. So I think a 500cc rebel should be good enough.

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 😂

I am running the Dart Classic flyscreen on my rebel 500 and really like it. Keeps all the wind off my chest, my helmet is still in the breeze but makes faster highway travel less tiresome for sure. Plus it looks great in the little bike!

It can handle the passenger at regular smaller road speeds. But trying to do it at interstate speed and have the power to pass at high way speed are 2 different things.
