I'm 5'8" and weigh around 185(fat). Over 70yrs. My all time favorite was a Honda CM400T. Bought it in college and and drove all over S.E. US. Perfect size, color and pegged it a few times, the bike screamed I loved it. Now I'm looking at the Rebel 500, closest I can find to my old bike. Too old, bad vision and drink too much but the desire to ride has never left me😂

[@Darkvisor]

CM400 is a great bike. I have a test ride video of one on my channel. This one is also a good choice so I don't think you will be disappointed. Just get som glasses and lay off the booze and off you go. 70 aint that much ;) I've gotten comments from 75 year olds riding sportbikes =) Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

[@jeanfalardeau163]

I have owned three 750cc, one 800cc and now my 2023 500cc with ABS. I love it for it's light weight and maneuverability. The other day, I noticed a Harley behind me. The rider passed me as soon as possible, but then with all the curves and speed limits, when ever he accelerated. I would keep-up with him. I followed him for about 30 miles, and we ended-up stopping at a red light together.

[@Darkvisor]

Yeah riding bikes takes more skill than whatever the engine can perform. I’ve seen people riding “smaller” bikes alongside much stronger bikes with no problem. It comes down to skill really. Thanks for watching my video

Hello! very good review of the Rebel CMX 500, I have one just like it and in the same graphite color!... she just makes me happy, I love her... thanks for your channel bro! Greetings from the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands)

Hola Amigo, gracias per ver! It sure is a great bike and I'm happy that you enjoy yours. I'm happy to hear that you like my channel and thank you for being a sub (if you are one).

Yeah I usually do that with all test rides. If I can find a place to go off-road with it. =) Thanks for watching mate

[@RandysRides]

Love the Rebels. As for a "beginner" bike, I bought a Yammy 400 after 10 years of riding...put highway pegs on it and taller bars. My only complaint was not enough top speed. It was also the only bike I've ever owned where I got invited on a group ride with a bunch of Harley riders. They initially thought it was a sportster. hahahaha !!!

[@Darkvisor]

Haha. Bet they were pissed when they realized you rode a Yamaha 🤭 Thanks for watching Randy.

[@RandysRides]

@@Darkvisor I told them right away. They just laughed...one of them had a 1200 Yammy motor in his wishbone chopper.

[@douglasradowick508]

Hey DV, great video presentation of the 500, putting the information on the screen so as not to interrupt the visual aspect, smart play!👍 1.) The fuel tank is too small(needs to get bumped up to a 3.5 gallon size). 2.) The O.E.M. Dunlop tires need an upgrade to a Michelin Commander III. 3.) Do the front fender in the same color as the tank and rear fender-it appears "cheap" leaving the front fender mat black. 4.) The entire video was a well thought out & planned product for the viewers, absolutely enjoyed the whole thing!🏍️👍😎😇🤓 Doug

[@Darkvisor]

Greetings Douglas. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my video and the way I made it. All my test rides on my channel have this format.

[@jjniemela]

I am 6 foot tall and my knee angle is just perfect with this bike, just a matter of taste? Anyways, the bike is awesome for the price to ride, agile, enough power, just love it.

[@Darkvisor]

Was your bike 100% stock? I know you can install other footpegs and move them around for better knee angle. Either that or you just really enjoy to sit in that position. To each own, like you say, matter of taste perhaps. Sure is a great bike. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do so as I have a Rebel 1100 coming up on my channel soon Thanks for watching

[@Banditmanuk]

I've watched the video, but it's a style of bike I don't like. It's probably because it's no good for a really tall guy like me. Suits short folks really. Do like the engine, rode a CB500X on holiday in Madeira, enjoyed it.

[@Darkvisor]

yeah it felt small, even for me and I'm not tall at all... perfect for shorter people though. Thanks for watching mr bandit

got 2023 s in december after not having a bike since 1982 , right leg ankle bit odd due to engine extruding out but easy to ride and very forgiving. slipper clutch grate ,i had wrist metercarple pain , i stopped ridding my honda 550 cbx f2 in 1982 for that reasion also at 5.5 and 59 years young its hard to find a bike that fits, if all goes well a rebel 1100 next maybe, but the 550 does well here on the isle of man , gone are my days of going 125 on the mountain as you may know there is not a max speed limit here. but grate twisty a roads but the island is only 37mile in length and 14 mile wide . i drive a mountain tram so get a good look of race bikes at TT and MANX GRAND PRIX

[@Darkvisor]

Congrats on your new bike. I'm sad to hear about your injuries but glad that you are able to ride again. =) rebel 1100 is also good, I prefer it to the 500.

I am 184cm . I like rebel 500 but I m afraid of my knees . can you suggest me another cruiser bike that it’s suits more to my height ? Thank you very much , keep the good work !

[@Darkvisor]

I've gotten comments from people saying their height wasnt a problem so maybe try one and feel for yourself =) But most cruisers can be fitted for taller riders by moving the pegs etc. 184cm doesn't sound that much so I think most cruisers will fit you without mods.

[@douglasradowick508]

DV, one other item,the exhaust sounded like one step up from a Fisher-Price®, or, Playskool® toy exhaust. Do a Mussari slip-on exhaust and it'll sound like Motorcycle should. You can STILL hear the air getting pushed out of the pipe(real cheap sounding)! Doug

[@Darkvisor]

Thanks for the tip Doug

[@acmdv]

I think it's an ideal bike for a short person (like me), I'm just shy of 5ft7 so I imagine the knees thing wouldn't so much of a problem?

[@Darkvisor]

I’ve gotten comments from 6” people who said knees wasn’t a problem so I think it’s fine. 5”7 this bike would be good for you 👌 I can also recommend the Kawasaki Vulcan S. Video of that bike is coming later on my KZbin channel

Hi, can i ask how heavy you are ? I'm 19 and i have around 55kg so i'm not sure if i can handle this bike.

@@prpinka I’m 92 kg. But your weight doesn’t matter. You can weigh less and still handle bikes. It’s about skill. There is a Swedish girl on KZbin who is very skinny who can wheelie Harley-Davidsons and stuff. Her name is Sara Aydin (Saaraazh). So if she can wheelie heavy bikes, then you can handle riding this bike. :) Thanks for watching my video, please consider supporting me and my work by subscribing to my channel =)

I'm 180cm thinking about the rebel, but i was also thinking about Jawa 350CL Bobber/Perák and when i sat on the Bobber i found out it would be super small for me and i would be strugling. How tall are you? I saw some women bikers on the Rebel and i'm affraid it would be the same issue.

I've gotten comments from riders who's taller than you and can ride this bike. So I think you will be fine. I'm 175cm. Try one and see for yourself if it's a good fit or not =) thanks for watching please subscribe to support me and my work

[@herno1]

Thinking in getting the Rebel, would you recommend the 500 for highway commute and occasional trips? Or a few months after getting it I’m going to regret not getting the 1100?

[@Darkvisor]

Yeah I would. It’s a great bike really. If you will regret it or not is hard to say. Normally new riders start small and end up getting bigger and bigger engines with time. But later on we start to cool down and go back down again. All depends of who you are and what you prefer. I could live with the 500 but I would prefer the 1100 because I like the extra kick.

No, not really. Unless you live very far from citys, fuel range wont be a problem. the torque is good enough in my opinion and the bike doesn't feel slow or boring.
