V Orlando - +1 on the V-Strom 650. It is absolutely fantastic!

[@andysatch9150]

I do get amused when reading arguments for and against bikes. Every individual facet of every different bike will appeal to someone, somewhere. The Rebel for example is like Marmite, you'll either love it or hate it. When you are young, 9 times out of ten you will want a sport bike. When you are older and your body is starting to tell you that it's not going to be playing along any more with your mid life crisis plans, you'll be after a cruiser! It's like those evolution of mankind images that you see, where the apes are bent over and through time as man evolves, he gets taller and straightens up. That is the evolution of a biker!!! I chose the Rebel purely for it's ergonomics, and secondly for it's looks. BTW I'm 53. For me it's perfect. I have no concerns as some people do, about longer or shorter gears, and whether it accelerates faster than this bike or that bike. I will be riding it on the road, and so none of that is relevant. All it needs is to be comfortable, stylish, functional, sound half decent, and have enough power to get out of trouble. The Rebel ticks all of those boxes.

[@georgeklimes7604]

If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you, and what is your weight? I am prepping for my license and will be a first time rider - and slightly older than you. Comfort is huge with me as well. I'm 6'3" and 240 pounds with a 36 inch inseam and big feet. Like you, I would ride casually - not race people. Given that, would the Rebel 500 be one to consider?

[@andysatch9150]

@@georgeklimes7604 My first thought is that it would be a bit cramped for you, but having said that, my son is 6'3" and he is fine on it. Mind you he is only 19, and currently riding a Benelli TNT!! I am 5'10" ish, and about 190lbs, and its fine for me. My only real problem is too much knee angle causes me problems ( too much football at a younger age!), but the rebel is ok for me in that regard. I think it depends on your flexibility. I have watched a review on here from a guy similar in height to you, and he said that because the tank rises quite high at the front, you don't feel out of place on the rebel. He also said he was very comfortable on it and not cramped up. In all other aspects its perfect. Very easy to ride, smooth as silk engine, and so far a comfy seat. I haven't been on a really long ride yet (over 90 mins), so I can't really comment on other people saying that the seat gets uncomfortable after a long ride. As a first time rider like myself, I would say that the Rebel is perfect. It's not scary and has no nasty surprises waiting. You can see out of the mirrors, which is always helpful, and it has enough power to make it fun. All I can say is take one for a test ride if possible, or at least sit on one in the dealers. The only other consideration I would make, is that if you are considering taking a pillion in the future, it's not the most comfortable bike for them to sit on, as it has a really small pillion seat. I think you can swap that out though for an aftermarket one.

[@just-dl]

Andy, I love your comment, and agree with you philosophically...which I find amusing, because I prefer the Vulcan S. But, I see the temptation of the Rebel. And, for the record, if the boys at SRK are watching, if they're giving one away, I'll take either. I'm not THAT picky! :-)

[@ericwilliams626]

@@georgeklimes7604 You have to sit on the bike yourself to know that. However even if you choose something like a Rebel and you get a leg cramp from the position you are in, which does happen, its not a bad thing, its a part of riding. It goes away. Your body will adapt to the form factor of the bike. You just need to relax as a rider first...But if you are tall I would consider sitting on the Vulcan S and it will be easier on your back due to the angle. I'm considering the Vulcan for the ride angle compared to my other bikes.

[@pabz83]

I like a balance of performance and comfort,, a supernaked for me is perfect. but later on I think I'll go for something more like a dual sport or adv

[@TheVestibulian]

Rebel 500 is a sweet lil bike. What your boy at 13:06 was talking about was that the subframe loops straight under the seat so there's no need for a chop and weld to remove the rear fender, just undo some bolts whack a tail light and plate holder on it and you've got a custom bobber. Really forward thinking from Honda and definitely targeting the Grom crowd with fun, fast (relative to size) and stylish city scoots

[@thegman4547]

Great vid as usual guys! thanks! I've got a 17 Rebel 500 in black and just installed a ceramic black TBR exhaust and OMG! Really awakens the inner beast in this bike! Highly recommend!

[@jayschofield2472]

I was totally expecting the Vulcan to simply walk away from the rebel. Seriously surprised.

[@lena19191]

Yep agree , expecting the 650 to have a much better pull off the mark but the Honda at 500 cc punched above it’s weight

[@nicolafertin3154]

But after launch it was just so much faster .. imo

[@joshfeister6566]

It's not the rebel is faster but the rider on 650 is terrible lol

[@stlchucko]

The last pull near the end of the video shows the difference a rider makes. The Vulcan walked away like the Rebel was dragging a Grom.

[@jonteesdale18]

Yea the Vulcan S walks all over the rebel. The dude on the rebel can't ride for shit.

[@dennislaudenslager7333]

What I like about the Vulcan though is that it has seat and foot adjustments for different size riders.

[@MigwisJourney]

I've waited for this comparative review and it was totally worth it. Nicely done mates👍🏿👍🏿

[@Alexanderyhwong]

I love both bikes. I think the Rebel is perfect for the urban city. Being only 400 lbs, you do get blown around on the freeway. The Vulcan is good all around. Very good for the city and being 100 heavier, it's fine on the freeways. I prefer the look of the Rebel being a bobber fan.

[@rajeshmb6745]

Couldn't agree more! Cross wind factor to be considered while doing interstate riding like 120kmph heavier motorcycle feel much more planted and stable less tiring.

[@just-dl]

I think you're spot on with that. I'm looking at the Vulcan 900, as I do a fair bit of highway miles. Plus elevation changes plus or minus 800' or so, so i'm interested in just a little more horsepower. But, urban riding...the rebel is hard, if not impossible, to beat.

[@Alexanderyhwong]

I got the Vulcan, I like the looks better, it’s got more power, better for highway use (which is most of my driving), the fact I can adjust so much so the bike fits me better, and I’d assume the Vulcan probably has better aftermarket support considering they have sport bikes with the same engine. I daily mine, although winter is coming and along with it… snow, so not for much longer. Anyways, I think I’m keeping the bike forever lol but I do want to get a sport bike for more fun occasional usage.

When I was looking for a bike, the Rebel 500 was a serious consideration, but in person it felt kinda underwhelming and I ended up falling in love with the Vulcan S, which I now own and it's an awesome bike and well worth it. But it is nice to see if I had gone for my first choice, it'd have still faired pretty damn well.

I'll get the fever again tomorrow it's supposed to be 50. Love your vids. I hope you have a great season.

[@michaelevans1658]

That was amazing was expecting the Rebel to be smoked.

[@mr.solitude3352]

There appears to be a radical difference in the knee and hip angles between the two bikes too. The Kawa has you feet slightly in front while the Honda has 'em either under or slightly behind you (depending on your inseam). That's an important consideration for tall riders to pay attention to. Being 6'4" tall, I'd probably be more comfortable riding a long distance on the Kawa. On another unrelated issue, Sean, why don't you take your bikes on the highway for an exit or two? Every buyer should always take a prospective bike on the highway to see how it handles there. You have no reason not to, too, since you live so close to one. Get with the program, man. :)

[@blockeduser5769]

Mr. Solitude Yup the Honda has that sitting on the toilet profile and the Kawi is more like you're sitting on a custom reclining crapper

[@pauld.b7129]

Idk why they made the erganomics the same as the rebel 250. Made a whole new bike and frame and kept the one thing that was probably the worst thing about the old rebel. Dosent make much sense to make a crusier that will cramp anyone over 5 10. I think it's kind of a given though that all these new bikes are fine on the highway. I mean even the old 250 did the highway, the new ones would have no issue

[@GTpower18]

You are totally right... I wish I could see this comparative in an highway. Nevertheless, I’m satisfied that at least someone did the rebel vs vulcan.

You hit the rev limiter on the Rebel 500 so could probably keep up if you didn't miss the gear essentially.. but yeah on paper the Vulkan 650 should have a better P/W ratio however if you do hit the gears perfectly, shift perfectly you can probably keep up until 100mph then the Vulkan should pass you by. Very impressed with with the Rebel 500 though, it's right up there with the Vulkan 650 and also 80 lbs (36kg) lighter. If they made a Rebel 650 or Rebel 750 it would be game over for many bikes in this class range.

Just bought (well, not just, but in May 2020) a 2020 Vulcan S and while I have not ridden the Rebel, I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about the Vulcan. Love the looks and styling. It's ridiculously fast at the top end and has tons of torque down low. Great cruising at highway speeds. Amazing gas mileage (I use it to commute so it's important lol. 50+mpg). Light and nimble around town. The powerband seems to just goooo and gooo and goooo. The instrument panel is miles above other bikes I've ridden. I've gotten nothing but compliments riding it. And the price is great. Just my two cents. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the Vulcan S. It's a great bike.

Great review. I bought my Vulcan S on Saturday after riding my Rebel for about 10 months and sold the Rebel 500 on Sunday. Let me say that the Rebel is an incredible bike but there were a couple of things that I couldn’t get past. First is that the seating position had my feet under me which made the bike very uncomfortable even with a Corbin seat. Second is the position of the horn button relative to every other bike I’ve ever ridden. The blinkers is where the horn usually is. I know that it sounds like a very minor thing but many times going to honk my horn I hit the blinker button instead. That could be very dangerous.

[@freedom24v86]

You can change foot possition on bikes

[@pauld.b7129]

I was actually shocked at the seating position. They made it essentially the same as the rebel 250 where your feet are too close and makes your legs cramped within an hour. Probably was my first complaint just sitting on the bike. Get some forward controls and it would be much better.

As cool as that is, I don’t like the look of the new rebel’s but they are cheap for a new bike. My heart will always be with the Vulcan customs.

[@manny75586]

The Rebel is a perfect big city bike. It is easier to park. It can squeeze in tighter spaces. You don't give nearly as much of a shit if it got dinged up compared to having something like an Indian Chieftain or something higher end like that.

[@stacys3857]

Maybe it's not selling because of the old 250 rebel... I saw one on campus and thought "What is that? It looks nice!" Then I saw "rebel" on the fender. Sales will probably pick up next year. Seems like they made a good bike.

[@dannyd8918]

I just passed my MSF course and now I’m looking for my first motorcycle, these 2 are at the top of my list. I’m 6’0” and 300lbs and I’m wonder if the Rebel is big enough for me.

[@brianshockley6429]

Eh prop too small bud. I ride it now and am moving up to 1100 but I’m 5’11” 150 and me knees are bent so I would look for a bigger bike and beefier suspension

[@ormenlange07]

Hehe nice video! I think I will buy a Vulcan s very soon, cheers, Gothenburg.

[@richardatkins7375]

Gods on your side. Blinded the cop not only too your speeding coming over the hill, he was also blinded to the "Missing Plate" I noticed ya didn't have when the segment started. Wondered then weather you'd get through this ride without a ticket?

[@mikelafferty-shockency9150]

i have a buddy ive been riding with since i started riding on a yamaha magnum 450. weve always switched bikes at intersections like that

[@iyrinenoch9451]

I wish cops in my town were like that... Doing 80 with no Tags lol. Great video... You just got a new subscriber!

[@micahshvetseek5888]

I’ve been thinking about a Rebel for some time now. After watching this I am definitely sourcing funds.

[@Rangernewb5550]

Me too. If only I had funds to source.

[@WOR159]

Do it my man!

[@unnf9971]

The "stupid" in the title really caught my attention in a bad way. Also what a huge chonker the vulcan looks like next to the Rebel. Kinda funny to look at.

[@advorlando9855]

These dueling videos are always fun. Not totally reliable of course because driver skill is a huge part. The fun and thrill of rivalry and the cop thrown into the mix was hilarious. Really enjoyed the video, but I'm looking for a video to help me find a starter for my sons. I think I'll recommend the Suzuki S40 or the Yamaha Vstar 650 rather than any of these. They may get in trouble with these.

"I bet that Fiat wants to race!" :) lol

[@johnhsmith8566]

Dave thata so true you nailed it...

[@tomreinhard8916]

What an amazing video :)

[@irvan36mm]

Can’t go wrong with either bike. Makes it harder to figure out which one I want as my first bike. lol

[@derynbergeron9162]

I'm leaning towards the Vulcan

[@diahinhleodoc]

I have the same problem right now. It's down to how you're gonna ride by the end of the day. The Rebel will be better fighting the traffic. It's easier to filter through the line of cars and you will not need that 60bhp from the Vulcan. But if you are looking for a weekend ride on the highway then the Vulcan. I have 6 month to decide which one I'm gonna get. At the moment I lean toward the Rebel. They are both great by all mean. Hope it can help

[@ThatFontGuy]

@@diahinhleodoc Plus the Vulcan is fitted to suit you by the dealership I believe, so as part of the cost they adjust footpegs, bar position and put on either the tall, medium or short person seat. If you are average in height it might not matter but if you are not that could be important as a feature.

[@diahinhleodoc]

Here in Aussie we have to pay for that comfort :(( it's suck in many way.@@ThatFontGuy

[@FlipsmooveDoubleR]

Hey Sean, could you do a review on a z900 or z1000? I’d like to see how you grade them.. planning to get a z900 in a couple months . I’ve been riding a er6n for almost a year now, and I’m ready for my dream bike the z900 or Z1000

[@dakotablack5345]

Did anyone else get anxiety with how close he was getting to the drop off of the road?

[@SneppyTheBeefThief]

The way his whole demeanor changes when they make that right turn and he sees the open road, man that gave me chills.

[@dindogarcia9707]

How did you record the audio as so natural between you guys when you are separated by distances?

[@danielgreen7159]

I bought a dual sport for my first bike because I wasn't sure if I wanted to ride dirt or street. Still not completely sure after 2 years, but I do ride more street. I'm not sure enough to trade mine off ,I really like it. Maybe I'll be able to buy a 2nd bike in the future, but one thing I'm sure of , if I buy a street bike it will be one of these two.
