VS♀️ Why to buy the Rebel instead of the Vulcan

In this video Rebel Rider goes through some of main reasons why she decided to buy the Rebel 500 over the Vulcan 650. Although they are both great little cruisers... sometimes it's better to spend a little more time to get the perfect fit!

A very good rebuttal on why one bike works for 1 person and the other for another person. 👍🏻

[@TheVSChick]

She nailed it! Thanks for watching Eric 🙂

[@adzmat5600]

nice to see both vids and yes find the bike that makes you smile and feel safe, nice save at the end (oops) what a good friend

[@TheVSChick]

Thank you! 😊 It's pretty awesome that we both have a bike that we love. We're both winners! (Thought I'd better keep it PG haha)

[@johnd9031]

It’s true you have to sit on a bike to know if it’s for you. Glad you found your best choice.

[@TheVSChick]

Very true 👍

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Yay Rebel Rider channel take over. Great video team

[@TheVSChick]

She did well hey! 🥳🥳🥳

[@ianfarley7352]

Well done Rebel, great video and clear reasons on why you love your bike. You are exactly right “Your both winners” 👍👍

[@TheVSChick]

She did awesomely hey! More Rebel Rider videos to come I reckon 😉

[@hachewie]

I’ve never ridden either but I love my Kawasaki’s.

[@TheVSChick]

Go the Kwakas!!

[@davidbreen4353]

good video. i love the seating position. i say that because i went down to the Honda dealer looking for a part. sat on my dream bike---the Fury. my legs were stretched almost all the way out. loved it, But it didn't feel right. so yeah, your right on all counts, fast out of the gate, light weight, COOL LOOKING BIKE. and price, price, and price. take care, be safe.

[@TheVSChick]

Everyone loves the rebel haha She wasn't exaggerating when she said everyone comments on it lol. I'm only slightly jealous 🤭🤫

[@decorbolton]

thanks for the effort I,v rode both bikes and opted for the Vulcan , the Honda is a great bike very smooth 🥰🥰🥰 but gave me leg cramp and that was only a short test ride , think the mods you,v done to your bikes is inspiring keep up the good work loving the channel

[@TheVSChick]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback. We love making vids 🙂 Awesome that you went with the vulcan. I just wish it was as smooth as the rebel. 🙂

[@RoadsOfOz]

Bike choice is a very personal experience. Often the heart overides the mind. Glad Rebel found a bike that she likes and suits her. I see alot of value in mid sized bikes lately (I have been riding the 600 supersport all aver the place lately).

[@TheVSChick]

Very true. Riding any bike is awesome... finding the perfect bike is a whole other level. Go the 600 supersport!! I bet that's heaps of fun!

[@joonhokim79]

Thanks for your vid. I’m thinking about Vulcan S comparing with rebel 1100 DCT. I couldn’t decide yet for 4 months 😢

[@TheVSChick]

Take your time. Better to make the right decision than rush it and regret it 😉

[@Moz42]

Ya gotta feel comfortable when you ride the bike, then that's it. Good vid, Rebel. Well done. Ride well. Cheers

[@TheVSChick]

She did awesomely hey. 👌 Definitely got to be comfortable! 😊

[@whatsstefon]

That’s it! Ride the bike you love the most.

[@TheVSChick]

Exactly right! 🙂

[@angelfootprints]

Great video! Thank you so much, I am between the Vulcan and the rebel right now and I resonated with your sharing a lot, specially the first one, when I looked at the Vulcan I though “this is my bike”. I am leaning more towards the Rebel right now 😃

[@TheVSChick]

Glad you found the video useful! 😊 Motorbike shopping is super exciting! I'd be keen to know what you end up going for. I reckon if it's got 2 wheels, you're going to have an absolute blast!! Ride safe!!

[@jpr3665]

Great vid I am contemplating getting back on a bike and whatever I choose has to feel comfortable and controllable and fun!

[@TheVSChick]

100% 👍 In the end it doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you are comfortable and confident in being able to handle it. Hopefully you get back on the bike soon!

[@angelsday4338]

Thank you for sharing and making a really great and beautiful video.I love this one amazing wonderful content

[@TheVSChick]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@SCMOTO]

Your first couple reasons are the only ones you need. Too many people get hung up on 0-60 times, top speed, handling, braking, etc... and they forget the most important things. Do you like it and can you ride it are the only things that matter. The Rebel 500 is a great bike and should last you for many years. Hope you enjoy it. BTW I subbed because of this video. If you are interested, check out my channel. I have some install videos up for the Vulcan S.

[@TheVSChick]

Sooo true! In the end, the most important thing is to feel comfortable on it. Thanks for subbing... I'll check out your channel. Always love watching mod videos... especially on the Vulcan! 😊

[@HarleyThrottleJuice]

Perfectly good and sensible reasons, well done! ✌️

[@TheVSChick]

Yeah she did alright I guess lol

[@gerardthoonen7034]

I got to sit on a rebel 500 and was way to small for me. I am 6.1 foot is around 154 cm so the Vulcan is just right for me. I have to say I do like the videos you your ladies do thank you.

[@TheVSChick]

We appreciate the kind feedback. Thank you 😊 You're definitely too tall for the rebel. I'm only 5.7 and felt cramped!

[@Duckie313]

For me it was mids vs forward controls. I just prefer the mid controls of the Rebel.

[@TheVSChick]

Totally understandable. It was incredibly weird going from a sports bike to the forward controls of the vulcan. Definitely took a little while to get used to. 😬

[@upnorthrider]

Yeah choosing the right bike is a personal experience, what feels good to someone might not be the 1st choice for someone else… I love throwing around the small bikes, they’re cool fun 😎

[@TheVSChick]

Exactly right!! 💯

[@corneilcorneil]

A lot S riders would be safer on the Rebel. We make group tours every week and most S riders handling a machine behind their skills whyle the average Rebel rider cuts corners like a pro. Reasons: longer wheelbase, the forward controles and sensitive throttle.

[@TheVSChick]

Yeah very true. Id hate for someone to jump on a bike that is beyond their skill level. 😬

[@corneilcorneil]

@@TheVSChick Most S owners do... A lot people call it a starter bike. It is, it fits their ego level, not skill level. A bike with 60hp and forward controles can never be a starter bike and most owners NEVER learn to ride properly. See it weekly.

[@TheVSChick]

Yeah it's not a starter bike in my opinion. Beginner cruiser yes... but not a beginner bike.

[@FrankTripleMoto]

As long as you love it that's all that matters 🙂👌

[@TheVSChick]

Exactly right Frank! 💯

[@unistudent4002]

I’d love to know how tall you are pls, I’m 163cm and been eyeing off the vulcan for a while, as a first timer, but if it’s going to be too big for me the rebel is my next pick!

[@charmainecassidy6585]

I am looking to get a Rebel. Where did you get the windscreen from? Love the videos!

[@TheVSChick]

Ooh cool! The rebel is a great bike. The windscreen is a Puig from Bikerr.com.au Link for you below 😉 Thanks so much for watching! Good luck with your bike purchase! Exciting times!!

[@BoltBucket]

you like the look? Job done!

[@TheVSChick]

Lol true though right

[@Mudpie321]

Hi, still liking your bar risers? How's your seat? What brand is it ?

[@TheVSChick]

Theyre good but I probably could have got longer risers. The seat is going well. It's a custom seat... basically a local guy reupholstered it... curved it out and put sifter foam in it. Way cheaper than the seats online 😉

[@Zulu_117_ST]

Nice ink Reb ✌️✌️✌️✌️(😂😂😂😂Stacey - right videos over …my bikes better 😂😂😂😂) Love hearing your perspective Reb, definitely personal choice and I think you made the right choice, the Rebel is bad ass ✌️✌️✌️✌️ It’s all about being on the road, enjoying it and being safe… I think the Honda hit the mark with this bike ✌️ Great review 😅😊❤

[@TheVSChick]

Hehe I was soooo tempted to end it right there!! 🤣 But I somehow managed to control myself and let her get her point across. It is a pretty awesome bike I guess. 🤫

[@Zulu_117_ST]

[@migueruta]

03:00 You can't allow yourself to be weak when you're driving a motorcycle. Girl! You just need to do some regular Push-ups, Squats, Pull-ups, and 15 minutes of bicycle riding to warm up before those exercises - no threadmill. Bicycle riding is the best way to make your bigger muscles stronger and thus, all the rest of the body wll benefit from it. - JUST DO IT, mate! You'll not regret it at all!😉And bring the cat next time.😅 Cheers from Barnet.🏍✌😎

[@TheVSChick]

Haha thanks for the tips. We're well on the way already. Joined the gym at the start of the year! Woot woot! 💪💪💪💪

[@aussiebikerdude6563]

Another great video 👍

[@TheVSChick]

Thanks 😊 Always good to see both sides of the coin right 😉

[@aussiebikerdude6563]

Definitely 😁👍

[@jsrides2065]

Must say nice tat’s yep as much as we like something we have to go with what fits us nice vs chicks channel take over 🏍️💨💨💨🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

[@TheVSChick]

That's exactly right! I honestly don't mind what anyone rides... as long as they love it and are having fun. 🙂🙂🙂

[@SB-mw1bg]

The rear fender to me looks a bit large for the wheel on the Vulcan S. Not aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

[@TheVSChick]

Agreed! It looks so much better after doing the tail tidy.

[@SB-mw1bg]

@@TheVSChick How much did the kit cost?

[@TheVSChick]

It was a while ago now so I cant quite remember but I think it was around $250 AUD. I may have mentioned it in the install vid... kzbin.info/www/bejne/en7beqVvg9CNjc0

[@xTru]

how tall you and your friend are ?

[@TheVSChick]

I'm 173cm tall and my mate is 165cm 😊

[@wizzard6486]

Nice job RR

[@TheVSChick]

A+ I reckon

[@manosmanos4663]

I have the rebel 500 2022. 1100 rebel price is not worth.Vulcan very uncomfortable. Τhe best is the rebel 500 with the engine and the price of the vulcan.

[@TheVSChick]

I bet the 2022 model is great!! Great bike 🤩

[@manosmanos4663]

@The VS Chick riding position perfect ,size perfect quality perfect but needs the engine and the price of the vulcan. 1100 rebel not worth so much money. Vulcan is at the middle . Great choice.

[@TheVSChick]

Yeah I love my vulcan. I've done a fair bit to it now. Quite different to the stock.

[@BoltBucket]

lol Rebel Rider take over

[@TheVSChick]

Woot woot!

[@BoltBucket]

lol Kawasaki dont lose to Hondas

[@PaulsMotoZen]

Honda has generators and cars, which is two more wins for Honda. ;)

[@MonkeyButtRides]

@BoltBucket I second that comment about loosing to Honda. Kawasaki has heavy industries that would crush generators and cars.
