Fun little street legal, fat tire, trail bike. Great for learners or old timers about town. 125cc will go 55 mph but much better at 35 on a dirt road. Light enough to lift or haul easy. I wish i had this bike in my youth. Fun! Show less

I owned this bike for about five years. I've ridden many bikes over the years and the NC700 is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable and enjoyable bikes in the Commuter/Sport-Touring segment. The bike has a very low center of gravity. Combined with the smooth automatic transmission it handles everything with ease. I didn't do any off-roading, however the bike simply needs some dual-sport tires and a skid plate to be an adventure ready machine. Maintenance is also very easy and infrequent besides keeping the chain properly lubed. Recently upgraded from the 2013 to a 2022...... same great bike with a few modern enhancements. Show less

Overall it's a great bike. The factory seat was absolute garbage, but once it was replaced with a better aftermarket seat, it was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Performance was fine; you never needed more power to feel safe getting on the freeway, but full power acceleration was not sporty by any means. It's a great cruiser and with so few of them around they always draw at least a few looks. Show less

Great daily bike, can travel smoothly on highways, but doesn't excel with either road or trail riding. It's a weird medium between the two, and is a bit heavy for maneuvering trails. Getting a higher displacement model would probably be better, as this really doesn't put down the power to move all the weight around. Other than that, with minimal maintenance, it is a reliable fuel-injected bike, and can be quite a bit of fun after some getting used to its high, soft suspension. Show less

I can't say enough about this beauty! Old school look, excellent performance, handling, efficiency, very low maintenance as most Honda's are and just a blast to drive! Upgrades are very easy to do and cost effective. Super under-rated sleeper! Show less

One of my favorite bikes! It’s so easy and comfortable to ride. Has a very wide turning Radius unlike other chopper style bikes! Definitely turns heads! And it’s a Honda… will last forever! Nice bike!! Wish I didn’t have to sell mine!! Show less

The Honda Rebel 500 is a phenomenal bike that breaks the mold of traditional motorcycle style and escapes from the boring boulevard drone. The twin-cylinder engine is surprisingly quick for its size and style. The blacked-out look, light weight, and low seat height are perfect for new or experienced riders who want a bike that looks tough, and Honda’s slip/assist clutch makes learning to ride so much easier. Cruiser-class bikes are often thought of as being slow and turtle like, but the Rebel 500 is happy to kick it up a notch. With ABS anti-lock brakes you'll have a safer ride. Plus, for 2021, Honda added the new Rebel 500 ABS SE, a version that comes with Black Diamond-Stitch Seat, Black Fork Boots and Covers, and a Black Headlight Cowl. Discover the new Rebel 500 and escape the ordinary. Show less

This was not a good purchase. I researched my first bike for awhile. I chose the NC700 because of the Dual Clutch Transmission. It'd been awhile since my MST course, and I remember having trouble with stalling at stops. So the DCT looked to be a good choice for a beginner. I bought one used, with 5000 miles, from a senior citizen who'd added a useful windscreen and bags. Sensible, safe, and a good commuter? These boxes it checked. And the DCT worked as advertised. Shifted up and shifted down on its own, or at the punch of your thumb. It gave some confidence. And it was easy to manage in NYC street traffic. And the front trunk was fun. I wound up treating it like a fanny pack. But was the bike fun, comfortable, and good for the interstate? NO. It struggled to keep up with interstate speeds over 80mph. The model is tuned to give all its power at low speeds, and it has a rev limiter to protect the engine. So at interstate speed, with no fairing, it got caught by the wind, slowed down, and any attempts to increase the engine hit the stupid rev limiter. Lastly, after a couple hours on the interstate, the seat made my butt sore in a way that lasted for days. And the bike was not FUN. Even around town, it chunked and it clunked. It was forgiving, but in no way inspiring. I remember having a Honda Elite scooter that more gleeful. It would always shift itself upward too soon, and the chugging reminded me of a tractor. After about a year, it was stolen for a joyride and wrecked up in the Bronx. I was surprised to find I didn't mind it being gone. I missed having a motorcycle. But not that motorcycle, the NC700x. So buyer beware. If you go over to the NC700x forum site, most of the posts tell you it's "just as good as larger bike" or a "Mini-Dualsport" or "Good for all my needs". I believed these posts, but in my experience, I outgrew this motorcycle in about 6 months. Show less
