Honda Rebel CMX500 Review! Could This Be The Best Small Capacity Cruiser Motorbike?

In this video I ride and review the 2022 Honda Rebel 500, this bike has to be one of the best looking entry level cruisers on the market. I want to find out whether this would be a good first bike especially for A2 license holders.
I talk about the Parallel Twin Engine, Brakes, Suspension, Handling, Acceleration. And tell you exactly what to expect before you decide on whether this is the motorcycle for you! Is it a better choice than the Harley-Davidson Iron 883?

Yes please, do the review on the 1100. I've got the 500 and I love it. My plan is to switch to the 1100 next year, and I love seeing reviews from people like you guys before hand.

I own a manual 1100. Had it since October. Its superb. Handles like a dream.

[@59jalex]

I thought I had ridden my last bike when I sold my Triumph, but a couple of months ago I bought a 2017 Rebel. My prostate cancer has returned, and with my spine and hip getting occasional pain, I needed something low and light. So far, the Rebel is fantastic around the suburbs and short rides through the hills. It seems there are a few pretentious riders who look down on other bikes. But as the wise man said, the best bike is the one you enjoy riding. Edit. The bike came with a different tail light and indicators, upgraded seat and Diablo twin pipe. But for me, the one mod that I like best is the engine fairing. It fills in the gap between the motor and the front wheel.

[@aladinfox4098]

Good luck with prostate and bike of coarse. 👍

[@59jalex]

@@aladinfox4098 Thanks mate. One positive to take is that prostate cancer is a very slow moving cancer. I'm not done yet 🙂

[@DylanMance]

I've had a 2017 rebel 500 since it was first released. Though i am for sure ready for a bigger/more powerful bike and have been for a while it just hasn't been that attractive to me financially since i still have no desire whatsoever to sell the rebel. I did a cross country trip from Vic to Qld in Aus on it. 8 hrs a day and it was fine for comfort for me at 5.11. Think you hit the nail on the head of it being a perfect allrounder for anyone who loves the style and is newly into bikes. It's not that quick but it is punchy enough that it hasn't gotten boring either. I have a short vid of a spirited run thru the local hills if anyone is interested in seeing how it goes in the twisties.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks for the comment!

[@D.L.Seraile717]

Much appreciated! Checking out your video now. Looks like fun! Im interested in the Rebel 300 or 500 for my first bike. Thanks for sharing!

[@leospeeds500]

I’m a new rider and have only ridden the bike for a week. It is a very forgiving bike that feels more at home in corners than it does in the straights. It’s a cruiser behaving like a naked bike. It’s bad at cruising but it’s good at having fun.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Too right bro 😎

i am in the U.S. i have the 2019 with orange tank. added a GP exhaust, the stock was just too quiet. that exhaust sounds really good for stock. being 67 years old at 135 lbs the Rebel is just right, i can flat foot easily, i have had it up to 85 mph and that's fast enough for me. i did see your first review, that, and mine are really good looking bikes. yup good review, and i love mine. be safe.

[@mike1967sam]

Your new camera I find is excellent, really very good quality images while riding...as for your size on the bike I think you look perfectly normal, not too big and not too small because the bike itself is low.

i am a great fan of bikes under 800 cc . i think the ideal size is somewhere between 350 and 650 cc ..... this bike is ideal! besides the fact that the wind in your face is the same no matter what bike you ride!

[@johntheaccountant5594]

My 5ft ( 154cm) Thai secretary rides a Honda Rebel 500 and it is about the only "big bike" that she can put her feet on the ground. Rev counter is not important as one generally doesn't thrash the Honda Rebel 500.

[@lancerbiker5263]

Good "looking" bike. Adding a back rack seems like an afterthought to make it somewhat practical. Rev counters are nice to look at but rev limiters seem to be replacing them, unfortunately . (A microchip is cheaper) Seating position looks unlike a typical cruiser. Not sure it would be comfortable on long cruise. A niche bike for sure. Love your channel, keep up the good work !( PS Love the sound of a gas engine in a tunnel. )

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes I wouldn’t want to ride for more than an hour on it really. Thanks buddy, can’t beat the sound of an engine through a tunnel!

[@Twin_solo_az]

The realities of MSRP and resale prices has pointed my attention to this bike as a first bike. Honestly just seeing a video of it on this channel is an endorsement in my mind. Reminds me more of an Indian Scout than a Sportster, and I’d trust Honda a hell of a lot more than Indian.

[@mickylad3287]

Bang on review brought a 2019 one last year with an after market exhaust and rear fender love it can’t see me changing it for a while now

Good review. I rode the old model home for a mate who's bought one and found it quite good except for the brakes. Coming to a set of traffic lights at the bottom of a hill, I only just managed to pull it up.. I put that down to my weight (105kg) and the single disc front.

The rack spoils the lines. This bike could do with a sissy bar. To get an idea of the size, are you a 34'' inside leg? I am a 32'' so would fit nicely, I guess. It is the 1100 DCT that I am interested in. Good review, Mr Darcy.

A real shame they didn’t upgrade the brakes this year along with the other 3 bikes in Honda’s 500 stable. Looks aside, which bike did you prefer between this and the interceptor 650? Tossing up between both

I’d choose the interceptor, I think it has more soul than the rebel. The rebel is still great though.

to my understanding, Uk miles to the gallon and US MPGs are different, an iron883 should easily get 50 American mpg. your numbers there should be higher 😁

If you lean it like a sports bike, does it hit the foot pegs ? My only concern !

It probably would if you really leaned it, but it’s not a sports bike and it’s not for leaning heavily into the corners. If it’s ridden like it’s supposed to you won’t scrap the corners, it has good lean for a cruiser.

I've had mine since december 2020. I'm 5'6 and I can flat foot it easily and I've seen shorter people on this bike and they can handle it pretty well. It's common among beginners and female riders because of how low it is and how easy it is to ride. It is pretty good for city riding as well.

Excellent. Good points indeed 👍🏼

I've seen lots of reviews on the 1100 dct Rebel but there are fewer on the manual version. It would be even better if you could ride both back to back.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That would be ideal, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Just bought mine. Waiting gor the winter to give a break in 🇨🇦 so can start playing on it

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼

I love the look of these new Rebels. As everyone has said, it's a tight fit for us tall guys. But if I can ever convince my girlfriend to start riding, I'll tell her to get one of these

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes it would be a perfect fit!
