It was a great first bike! Not too much power so you can learn how to control the bike. Smooth ride and reliable. The friction zone is forgiving and it’s easy to grab the gears. It is a very forgiving bike. Show less

The Honda Rebel 500 CMX500 has Superior handling and style. Low seat makes flat footing on roads a breeze. This is a great sporty engine that is fun to drive. Handles the curves and winding roads like a boss! Show less

Classic 1985 Honda Rebel 250 cruiser with low mileage and near perfect body. Extremely well-kept bike with same owner for last 25 years and stored in-doors. Rides smooth and easy for a classic cruiser that is ideal for either new or experienced riders. Trickle charger included with bike just needs to be connected along with original manual and brand-new Yuasa Yuam327BS-YTXL maintenance free battery. Priced to sell/move in this summer warmth... well below blue book!! Show less

My Honda is really good looking, if you want to get back into riding, or if your small like me, the Honda Rebel is low seat, only weighs 418 lbs. handles really well. has enough power for interstate riding. it's really quick,comfortable in my opinion, no numb butt so far, no vibration in the handlebars. very easy to control cornering,fantastic lean angle.no it doesn't have a gear indicator, but easy to hear rpm's to shift. has A B S, brakes are really good. it's a really great bike with enough power without being over powered for new riders, of just learning to ride.i definately recommend the rebel 500.

found my Honda rebel on cycle trader. this is my first street bike and I must say it is awesome. Nothing like cruising around on a bike , so much fun. Show less

This bike was designed to putt around town for beginner riders. Low speed stop and go will last forever. I am picking two up for my 15 and 12-year-old boys while they learn how to ride. Each will be given a custom built (they are building them) for their 18th birthdays. Great for college/high school kids to get them to and from school/work. Show less

Well, I bought this bike and never drove a stick shift car. A week after I bought the bike, I took the Rider's Edge course...(great course by the way)...and the next weekend I drove from Rossford to Central Avenue to get the next class excited, and maybe inspire someone! Yup... one other woman there told me that I was her inspiration, and another told me that I was her lucky charm... I helped her stop popping the clutch! Ha! Anyway...back to the bike... yup... LOVE IT!!! Even let the instructor try it and he felt it was a great little bike (his knees got in the way, but it's perfect for me)! I am riding all over town on my Honda Rebel now!!! I am feeling free and loving every minute of it. It shifts gears a little hard, but probably because I have little feet! Ha! If you never owned one of these little guys...you have to get one of your own. It's a great bike! (I moved up from a scooter...I'm a big girl now!!!) Come ride with me! I'd love to have someone to ride with.... maybe we should start a Honda Rebel club! Ha!!! (seat gets a bit uncomfortable after a little while of riding, but not too bad). ::smile:: Show less

I bought my Rebel from a friend recently and although it was dirty from storage, it was in good shape. The bike needed new fork seals but that is a cheap fix. I was suprised with the power of this bike when I started riding because I thought it would be sluggish due to engine size. The bike handles great and is easy to ride. The bike starts to feel a bit uncomfortable on long rides because the footpegs are so close to the seat but not to the point that I will avoid a good ride. The engine runs amazing for its age and never hesitates to start when ignition button is pressed. I love the gas mileage with this bike because 80 miles to a gallon is nothing to complain about. I am very pleased with the reliability of this bike and know that I will not be stranded when I leave home. A downside to this bike is that due to the small motor and gearing you have to rev the bike up a bit to get it to 60-70 mph. This is not a highway bike but it is a great bike that I am happy to own.

I love my 2005 Rebel 250. It does everything I need and more. I've pegged the bike at 85+ mph. I consistently maintain highway speeds with or without cargo. I'm averaging 100 mpg. that's right-100 mpg. User friendly, maintenance friendly, and pocketbook friendly. I'm riding 1000 miles a month and am completely satisfied with my Rebel's performance. On my weekend daytrips, I get asked a lot of questions about my bike. I recommend this bike to everyone. It's simply a magnificent cruiser. Show less
