Honda Rebel 500 review (But is it better than the competition?)

[@MH-ku5hf]

I really enjoyed hearing your opinions. I feel like even with all the miles separating us, you and I could very easily get along, lol. Where were you riding in the videos!? Looks pretty beautiful for a city.

[@eddywave3315]

I’m sure we could get along! I ride in Qingdao, China. There are some nice roads here! If you come visit, let me know! We can have a ride together 🤜🤛

[@arintoaca472]

Would you recommend the rebel 500 vs the cf Moto clc 450? I think you're uniquely suited to answer this, love your content, btw! ❤

[@Draecko]

In my opinion the CLC 450 looks and sounds way better than the Rebel.

[@eddywave3315]

Giving the price of these two in China, I would definitely get clc450, but if I would buy a bike thinking about my grandchildren ridding it one day, I would probably pick up Honda( but this isn’t my case)

[@sirojsamadov3906]

I like the DCT model. Especially in the city the ride is much better with the automatic transmission. Of course, it is an 1100cc which is in a different class and more expensive

[@eddywave3315]

I haven’t ridden that bike, but I think it should be fun to ride

[@HAMILTONPROVIDEO]

Did you use the foot break along with the handbreak when you tested it?

[@user-xh4ch8rd7f]

It looks nice for me as a short rider :)

[@eddywave3315]

I don’t think you’re short, but I think you would love this bike. But you should check Benda Napoleon, something tells me you might like it😏

[@bossCJFC]

1st!

[@eddywave3315]

Appreciate it 🤜🤛

[@cross3123]

Can you do a Benda Chinchilla 450 review ?

[@eddywave3315]

Yeah, In fact most likely I’ll go to Benda tomorrow, and I want to film Chinchilla and Napoleon 450 hope they allow me to record , do you think I should make one review or two separate ones?

[@division883]

I want to see Napoleon first!

@@sirojsamadov3906 due to the Chinese new year, nothing worked for two weeks, so tomorrow has to be it🤝 not sure wether I can record acceleration though, is there anything in particular you want to see?

[@demon1340]

Brotherrr your bike turns me on this looks so fucking dope

[@eddywave3315]

Appreciate it! Initially I wasn’t a big fan of this design, but overtime I started liking it a lot 😏

Bad things about the Rebel... 1. Ergonomics. That seat will kill your tailbone/spine if you're susceptible to it. 2. Tiny Ass Gas Tank. Really Honda? Everything else is fine to fantastic.

[@eddywave3315]

Thank you for your feedback! I can definitely agree with what you’ve said about tank! I wish it was more than that

[@choppergirl]

Don't like the New Coke Rebel at all. Give me the old Classic Coke Rebel back.

[@eddywave3315]

I haven’t tried it, why is it better in your opinion?

[@choppergirl]

@@eddywave3315 You can get a wrench in everywhere and take the head off while the engine is still in the bike. Eventually, you are going to have to replace the head. It wears out. If the new Rebel is anything like my 2008 Shadow with a bunch of safety cutoff switches and valves and evaporative fuel recapture system, then the old Classic Rebel doesn't have all that unnecessary crud on it that can break and leave you stranded. Also, the old Classic Rebel is 100% air cooled. No radiator with all that mess to deal with. Parts are cheap and plentiful on ebay. I paid 500 for my first Rebel. Not 5,000. 1985, and I still have it today. Just rebuilt the carb this week, as all my motorcycles had been sitting for 4 years unused while I was blind.
