Sorry guys, I've been off, it is the best bike I could have as a first bike. For the price it has, you get a beast. It is way more powerfull than it seems, I've made big trips, and the only thing I did was changing the seat, cause its made of steel, and my ass looked like a paella after 2 hours. But I will recomend it FOR REAL. Cheers

They should've stuck with analogue speedo and tacho meters, I think they'd fit the style better

[@jediknight1294]

@@jeffrygagnon5506 depends on the gauges tbh. The mt and dno1 weren't bad.

[@actarusfleed6607]

Absolutely. I prefer the analogue gauges. Digital figures change to fast.

[@HanSolo__]

They should have made it without one. At all. An LCD/OLED strip with a single chip inside - that's it. The tiny thing they could just throw somewhere. All I need is is to see Neutral, Lights, Oil. and Hot/Trouble. Speed - meh. Fuel - maybe. But not much of a use if it since it's 200km of range. You are on constant reserve.

[@filipmach35]

I've got both digital and analog in my car and I'm thankful the digital is there just because the needle is so short, tiny and same colour as the background - you basically can't see it. But tacho - it's a different story. Every vehicle should have an analog one ;-) and completely agree with you, Sir, Rebel would be great with analog.

[@hyperx72]

I love the way the Ninja 400 did it. Analogue tac so you always have a clear view of where the limit was, digital everything else since a digital speedo gives better accuracy.

I’ve owned two Rebel 500’s and love this bike very much.

[@TrNdke]

Where Honda cut corners on this bike, I understand why they did. I also understand where they choose to come with the goods and give the bike some guts and swagger. I think the new Rebel is ultimately redeemed by the blank slate approach Honda took. Anyone keen to mod or tweak the Rebel's style or performance will find a veritable motorcycle hobby kit of easy options to make the bike their own in ride and curb appeal. And at the price point, I think Honda nailed it. This is, after all, the company that brought us the Cub.

I don't worry about scratches or other cosmetics as they can be readily replaced if need be.

Personally I've been riding for 7 seven years and I've changed my mind quite a few time but I try not to focus on big numbers anymore. Easy to use and reasonable can be enjoyed by seasoned riders, as long as don't get boring too quickly.

[@johnm7788]

Picked up a Rebel500 SE 2024, couldn't be more happy with the bike. First thing i did was replace the ugly exhaust with a Musarri GP slip on, the bike looks and sounds beautiful. Rides smooth, handles extremely well, light as a feather. You would have to be very careless to drop or lay it down, its a really friendly bike that almost anyone could ride. At 5 8" i find the bike comfortable, no issues with the seat at all. I think anyone who is 6"+ will start to feel cramped without a forward control mod, higher seat and maybe a handlebar mod. Vibration at highway speeds wasn't even noticeable, must be a issue Honda solved with newer Rebel models. No windscreen so you get a bit of pushback on the highway, nothing too serious but i could see it becoming very annoying on long trips. Plenty of aftermarket windscreen options available which will be my next mod. One of the things i personally love about the rebel500 is it's a great bike for a novice/intermediate rider and also nice enough to be a keeper. They also made the rear brake like smaller and rounded the edges. lol. Great review, helped me a lot when making the decision.

I tried to buy a rebel 500 when they first came out. But my credit wasn’t where it should’ve been I was just getting started in life. Three years later I’m still wanting this bike so I’m going to pay cash for it next week. Really looking forward to riding it. This review was awesome it just makes me even more excited to finally get my bike. I’m getting the 500

great review. Just bought a 2018 rebel

[@wiskkid]

I do dig it but I think I'm really going to dig it even more when you review and feature the new Rebel 1100.

[@MotoARN]

This video truly deserves my like and subscribe

Perfect beginner bike. I got one for my short lady learning to ride. The new Rebel has many improvements like the gage display. Theres still plastic but I like the reliabilty, comfort, simplicity, ease of operation, powerful sporty engine for its size, and low weight. All at a reasonable cost.

I still watch old FortNine videos just for the heck of it, so nice to watch these lovely reviews :')

[@glenwoytuck1082]

I'll definitely be interested to see your review of the new Rebel 1100. My friend is thinking of buying one.

[@astrocat2913]

Honda Rebel may not be a rebel, but its perfect for a beginner looking for a cause.

The music, the bottle sounds, the dj at the end, nailed the entire Warriors.

[@adriamillasluque]

Your channel is just a homerun, mate. I enjoy it thoroughly, and have been watching it every day for the last 2 weeks.

[@mjc2ride336]

The throwback to "The Warriors" was a nice touch!

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

I'd love to see you re-review this.

[@Impervium1090]

I have almost zero interest in this bike, but the information provided and quality camera work made me watch the whole video... nice job guys!

[@jeez3k]

Great production value, but i am missing some good shoots around the bike with good lighting

[@johnfaustus1]

As other's have mentioned in pretty much all of your videos: just outstanding production quality, well thought and honest analysis, great narrator and presenter. A joy to watch and listen. This is without a doubt the best motorcycle channel on youtube. I am so SICK of some dude strapping a go-pro to his helmet and "going for ride while I give you guys my thoughts". It's so sad that some of those videos, which took literally the time duration of the ride to make, have more views than Fortnine.

Absolutely loved The Warriors theme in this video

[@skinnyrabbitt3146]

I love "The Warriors" twist. one of my fav movies

[@willie123567]

The real question: Did Ryan actually spray that logo?

[@FortNine]

The real real question: Is the logo painted at all? ~RF9

[@deadlyrasberry]

FortNine: mind blown...

[@exothermal.sprocket]

It's temporary stick-on graffiti. hahaha

[@ridethelightning7239]

The clinking bottles sound effects in the video remind me of the 70's movie The Warriors (Warriors come out & play!)

[@zugmeister314]

I'm positive that's what they were shooting for... In every scene the bike is saying that to him then he walks up to it and says something to it.

[@nexusfg]

Your production quality has come so far. These old videos are good, but they pale in comparison to masterpieces that you put out today!

[@jasonpalmer1597]

Not going to lie... watched this multiple times. I did purchase a 500 rebel.. just a 2020. It is my first bike and I absolutely love it..
