Motorists distracted by cell phones is the new normal. As riders, we just have to accept it. My advise is to wear a high viz yellow/green jacket. You'll practically glow like you're radioactive on sunny days and drivers will definitely see you. It may not be your taste in fashion, but if it keeps you safe, it's worth it. Also, your helmet mic sounds fantastic.
You are so far the most intelligent and distinguished bike reviewer I have heard and seen. All the best for you.
He posted this on my 22nd birthday, the day of me getting the same bike and coincidentally watched this video afterwards, but I wholeheartedly agree, overall amazing video that deserves more praise. 🙌
Thank you man, that really means a lot. I appreciate the time you took to watch this video and leave this comment. Hope you're doing well brotha. Enjoy the ride!
Happy belated birthday! Hope you're enjoying the bike, ride safe!
@@EnjoytheRideTV
What kind of camera are you using? And how did you get it to rotate? Some camera angles were cool while others made me a little dizzy. Lol
I totally agree and that's why maybe he put himselfe in a position where he can achive anything and everything but he didn't in the short therm like many myselfe included and here we go depress all the time trying so hard to figure it out how the hell to be rich or have succes with girls, have You're own business and so on, well i'm glad that i found this vid hope the Best for You keep it up
I watched this strictly for a motorcycle review, but the best thing I got out of this is hearing you’re doing good. Glad the meditation is working for you man✌️
Good review man! I put about 14,000 miles on a 2017 rebel 500 before I sold it. I thought about making a video like this but never got around to it. About the bike, I couldn't agree more. Great bike to learn on and it's one that you could keep forever. I miss that bike
Thank you for your comments on depression. It affects many people...really. Your response to it is commendable! You are out there, on the open road, tasting the air and off the bloody computer. Human beings need to be outside. We need to be moving around and having fun, in our free time...much like a child. Your thoughts on being totally engaged while riding are priceless. I never thought of a motorcycle being an anti-depressant, but it is, as you just described. Brilliant! Keep working your job too, my friend, with a positive attitude, and good things will come your way. Life is a long journey, and I can remember making $3 an hour way back in the day...but I always had bigger plans and dreams, and it's turned out well for me, with plenty of patience. Good luck to you. I can see you writing a book on depression and motorcycling. You have touched a chord there...
Thanks David! I appreciate the kind words.
In 1977 I just a brand new 78 Honda hawk 400... I love that bike.. it was the perfect starter plenty of power and I even took it on the highway no problem.. at the time my dad owned a Suzuki 500 2-stroke twin.. we took a long day ride up New York State got back home around dark.. some of the best memories riding with my dad ❤️
I like how you are open to your feelings. I'm happy you have overcome that stage in your life. Stay safe bro!
Thanks Charles, you too!
7:33 I knew there earth wasn't flat😏
LoneStarr Dripper look into it
LOL
very trippy to watch @_@
Actually the exact same effect used to make the curve in the earth in photos from space. If you look for them you can find photos with a section of the space station mirroring the same curve as the earth when they have taken photos of the earth. But don't let that ruin what you learnt in school!
All present becomes a spiritual experience on the ride. Feel the freedom and exhilaration!
I have a gloss black rebel 500 with a metal headlight grill, blacked out forks, forkboots, tbr exhaust, different lights and different mirrors. Love it. Never getting rid of it.
A 1200 version would be nice!
Just buy a Sportster then 😎
I think it’s coming soon
1100 is coming out
That commenting about meditation and riding. Man I've been through some dark times like the ones you're commenting on, and I have to say, spot on why I want to ride so bad, I need a bike cause I love being present, and I just don't feel the ol suv is cutting it anymore.
Amazing review! Makes me want to get the honda rebel as my first bike!!
Manuel Navarrete you should do it, I got one for my first bike and I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences with it 🤙🏻
I learned on a rebel 250. Really solid bikes. Nothing mind-blowing. Kinda like Honda cars. Really well built and will get ya where you want to go.
I guess I like being present even when I drive my car. I hate talking on the phone while driving, plus it's a manual. Not that you can't use hands free but I really don't like being distracted with a phone call while driving, it actually feels a little unsafe. More than that I just enjoy the alone time and listening to music and thinking while driving. I zone out sometimes of course but even so I'm probably a lot more tuned into whats going on around me and with the car than anyone who's on the phone while driving.
I liked your review, I also own a rebel 500, just had its 12,000 km service, had the bike 7 Month, love it. Most of my riding is one and a half hour commutes on the freeway to work. Does it rain or shine, its an amazing machine
This motor loves to rev it comes from the cb500r max tourque is at 7000rpm peak HP at 8500 and the limiter is right there at 8500 and she bounces. If you can handle the vibrations 3-4k rpm is cruising and use more from there.
Rev limiter of each gear
1 - 36.2 mph
2 - 56.5 mph
3 - 74.3 mph
4 - 91.5 mph
5 - 103.4 mph
6 - 114 mph
At 70 on the highway in 6th I believe is 4-5k so that is what you would aim for in the rest of the gears
Good choice on the smaller shield. Larger windscreens are not suitable for light bikes, in crossroads and near large trucks they can act like a sail.
A 750 version would be perfect!
Tyler Wilson agreed! 750cc to 1,000cc.
We have a CBR650R and a CB650R, we need a Rebel 650. It'll be great, the 650cc engine is a V4.
It’s called a Shadow 750. Was my first bike and a great starter. Now I ride a 1300
They make a 750 and 1100
South Sports Outdoors, No they don’t the rebel is only available in a 250 or 500
very nice review. in a few months i get my new model honda rebel 500 in blue methalic which looks great. and has a lot of new things . i guess this will be my second and last motorcycle until i die ..i come from a 125cc which i drove 3 years. and this rebel has enough power for me and a look that i will always love. take care! enjoy the ride!
We need more motovlogs from you. Do you plan an upgrading/modding anything else?
Yeah, you gotta stay very focused while riding in-city for sure. Going for a ride thru the Florida countryside is good therapy. Maybe that's why you don't see many motorcycles parked in front of psychiatrist's offices👍😎.....😺
Haha, good point :)
I've got an 18 rebel and I redline around 40mph in 1st gear if I tickle it. I see that this is an older video, so I'm sure you've played with it a bit since then.
Awesome video & vibes dude
Great video, and observations about others on the road. Be assured you are not alone in your thoughts. Do more videos!
I could live with this bike..I been riding sport bikes all my life now that I'm old it's time to cruise btw nice video 😁
Thanks! It's a fun, mellow bike to ride.
Thanks was thinking of getting the 500 but since I will be using it on the freeway I will start looking into the 1100
I Love this- cant wait to get this style and ride with ease
Great review, thanks. And kudos for mentioning mental health problems, good on you! Sending love
Thank you Paul! I appreciate the good energy and kind words. The world needs more people like you.
Thanks for sharing! Please keep doing the things that makes you happy. Weloveyou
First gear tops out at 36-38 MPH. You are shifting at like 5-6k RPM
Thanks for the review man I been looking at this bike closely for about a few weeks now, I live in Hollister ca where we used to have a huge biker rally every year so I have always wanted a bike since I was a kid at those rallies. I also appreciate the personal details you threw in there I can surly relate. You just got yourself a new subscriber brotha. Maybe if I get my bike soon we can meet up and take a ride. Later man enjoy the ride ✌🏽
It won’t be buzzy on Pacific Hwy 1 - most of time one is stick behind slow cars failing to take turnouts doing -10mph below speed limit
There is a TON of much nicer roads to ride closer in Santa Cruz mountains
I like the standard foot position. I will consider it with that likeable feature
That 360 camera is so sick. Great review of the bike too. Looking forward to getting one of my own after learning on my Virago for a year or so
thanks rebekka! have you test ridden the rebel yet?
@@EnjoytheRideTV not yet. I'm way too inexperienced to trust myself on a test ride yet
It's awesome to hear that your love for riding helped you through some difficult times. Very interesting fisheye effect in some of your scenes, love your video. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks Faye!
Thanks for all the links! Love your set up and video
Thats a good vlog. Getting hands on one when it arrives in india 🥽
Any idea when it is going to come here?
@@samridhsk1419 everything has changed. It will take time for such production of huge quantities for India. Let's hope the earliest
300cc launching soon ... Waiting for a good reveiw
@7:02 that engine is laboring! Otherwise decent video. What helmet and jacket are you wearing? I like those.
Edit: went to watch more Rebel videos and I don’t see any. Hopefully you’re still riding! I would love to see videos on the 350T too.
Please make more videos, your camera is probably the best of any motorcycle TH-camr I've seen. I would definitely support you on patreon over Yammie Noob.
Dude you're video quality is so good. Thanks for a detailed review without the bull crap. Do you have a patron where we can donate to getting you more bikes to review? 😂
Nvm found the PayPal link!
I've had mine for 11 months and have 7,177 miles on it. I've already had to replace the tires.
cool video man.i can't wait to ride my Rebel this end of December.
This was great find cuz I live in the Bay Area and is thinking of getting a Rebel
Awesome video man, good info. Appreciate you providing links to all the gear. Considering this or a XSR700 for my first bike. See you in the Bay Area commute
Nice vid man
Thanks for watching!
great video 👍🇵🇭 “moving meditation”
1st thing imma change is the seat seeing as I plan on road trips. Everyone seems to hate the seat lol
Good review. is the seat any more comfortable than the stock one, please?
What band jacket is that? Is it good in the California sun?
The brand is First Mfg. Super high quality, really happy with it so far.
Hey man, as you know the 1100 has been released. I was thinking of getting the 1100 instead of the 500 as a first bike. Opinion?
How tall are you? I have a 500 and I’m about 5’6 and I think of you’re much talked than 5’8 you’re going to be very cramped. Also, my first bike was a 1980 CB650, initially was also thinking I wanted a powerful bike to start on, but thank gooood a long time rider strongly advised/talked me into getting the 650 over a much more powerful bike. You will lay your first bike over. You will be grateful for less power, and even the 500 has more than plenty IMO for a first bike.
Your camera angles are awesome. How do you do that. Very professional
Thanks! I use an Insta360 One X 360 camera which allows me to capture everything around me.
Why did you stop making videos. What about that trip you mentioned
As a 6 ft. tall rider would this 500CC bike be to small to ride comfortably?
What brand helmet are you wearing?
It's a Scorpion EXO-R420.
Nice. Make some more bike videos. Subscribed just for this video
That was a cool video. I am planning to ride and I love Honda Rebel which Im planning to get as my first motorbike. Where was the camera tho, I was confused lol
Nice and informative.. but some of the different camera angles are DIZZYING..!!!
What band is your helmet? I like it a lot!!
Thanks! It's a Scorpion EXO-R420. I have a link to it in the description of this video. I think it's a great deal for the price, especially with the SNELL rating. It could be a bit quieter, but it fits my round head really well.
Good vid. Thanks!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Está bonita tu moto 🤘
Have a good day my sir, and keep on recording!!!
Your audio is crisp.
Dont know if i want this or the z500 the rebel makes me nervous because no rpm
How you did the 360 shoots?
I have a question, how do you move the mirror under? and where do you buy it? also Where do you buy the wildescreen and if it is general to put it on a honda rebel 500 2020?
How did you install the mirrors?
Good to see you back! Are you still floating?
thanks brotha! still floating with my OW+, has just enough juice to get me to work on one charge, but the XR is always tempting me in the back of my mind.
@@EnjoytheRideTV Good to hear, def should get an XR, put it on the back of the bike and go for a road trip 👍
1 sub from Thailand!!!!
Thanks for the sub! Cheers from the US
have you done a sprocket upgrade?
Would you recommend this as a very first bike?
yes. it's light, low to the ground, and easily maneuverable. very forgiving. i'd try out both this bike and a sportbike to see which one suits you better though.
👍👍👍
101 S ... Almost thought AZ
Is Vance and Hines exhaust too loud for the street ? I'm considering buying it.
I mean.. I don't want a problem with cops.
Damn 850 in 6 months is nothing. Bought my ninja 400 July 4th and it has 4500 miles on it
Does it top out at 70ish mph?
Have you felt the abs model was a necessary purchase?
i'd rather have it than not, especially in unexpected sketchy situations.
I’ve had my brakes stick twice because people run stop signs all the time in the Bay Area. If you can afford abs do it if not practice braking with both the front and rear at 25mph at a parking lot or something just so you can have an idea of what it feels like to skid.
Price??
I am 6'1 feet and I weigh 83 kilos. am I too big for the Rebel 500 or would that be fine?
Rene Punter I’m 6’2 and this bike fits me perfectly I don’t feel cramped on it at all
The 500 is 471cc not 491cc.
Where are you brother ? Hope you doing well, maybe its time to enlighten us after 2 years of owning the bike if its still worth buying or you got bored of it?! :))
The monologue about meditation and positivity earned my subscription. Truly inspiring stuff. Can't wait to have enough money to afford a motorcycle of my own.
Thanks man! Just trying to do my part in making this world a little bit better place to live, even if it is with a motorcycle review video haha. Keep saving! You'll get there one day and it'll all be worth it.
Dude great video 👍
I've been wanting a motorcycle for a while now. And I'm finally in a position where I can afford one. And I couldn't take my eyes of this bike. I feel it might be the one.
Eduardo Boquin Did the same thing! Did 10'000km in half a year with it without any problems!
im looking 4 one , i like the Honda vtx1300
I want one as well, but I need to get my licence first! The knowledge test offices are closed because of COVID-19
Get the Vulcan s
@@momomomo1838 I did a safety course like 7 years ago so I have my license but never got a bike. I'm thinking about using that unemployment money to buy one.
Thanks for the review my friend. Looks like this will be my first bike. Also, thank you again for talking briefly about overcoming and dealing with depression and anxiety, Being a veteran and just a male human lol, I can definitely relate and I appreciate your courage in sharing that. Stay well bro, look forward to more videos!
Great video. Just a small note, It's 471cc not 491cc. Cheers.
Thanks for the clarification!
That's why they're slow
Borislav NT I believe ur incorrect I’m not 100% sure but I swear I saw them at 471
@@nickmuscolino8724 I am saying that rebel 500 is 471cc.
Cool. Thnx for sharing. There is another Rebel at 5:06 :)
The other Rebel at 5:06 is my dad haha. That clip was from one of our first rides.
I've been eyeing this bike for well over a year, switching from bike to bike thinking about which one I should get, and the rebel was never off my mind. Its such a nice looking bike and I think that I drove my parents crazy talking about it. This is such an amazing video. And I love how you address everything clearly and not just talk about it once and its done. Thanks man you da boss😎
Dude your camera angles make me feel like im tripping .. good none the less

Amazing quality review. Glad you made it past the dark and into life again. I've been down that road and it's worth the pain.
thanks hassan! adversity builds character. everyone is a teacher/guide that can teach you something about yourself.
@8:00 where tf is your camera lmao
duhh wtf LMAO
I was wondering the same thing too cause I'm seeing camera shots from all angles lol
360 cam mounted on the left side of the handlebar, maybe with software to edit the camera and it's components out of the image. If you look at his gloves or the cables going to brake lever you notice some funky things happening, at least after the 8:00 mark, maybe even earlier. ;)
The Honda CB500F naked will solve most of the highway, comfort, touring and sporting issues you may have with the Rebel, at the same price. Then again, nakeds are not known for style, at all.
Use the webbing included with the ram mount, lost mine off my fz07 after about 10 months with it.
Yup my phone fell off when I hit a pothole because I wasn’t using the webbing
Iv got a Chinese rip off one that has a charger built-in, I hit a curb at 30 with my phone in it and it didn't budge a bit
Great video. Love how you incorporated the speeds and gears with a freeway review also. Honestly watched a lot of videos and your video just made my decision. Thanks bro hope you keep doing content.
Cool video man. I saw your post in the Rebel 300/500 group. I love my Rebel 500, it's very punchy in first gear. Makes it feel more powerful than it is. Waiting on a sissy bar/luggage rack and I've gotten a sissy bar back pack from Viking Bags. Great if you want something that you can quickly toss on and also wear.
niiice. i just ordered a sissy bar and duffle bag right after making this video. should be putting it on this weekend!
great video ! Love the chat at the end about depression. not always easy to speak about but music and Riding are what keep ME SANE> (and I'm only learnin ridin haha) Is that Mountain View over by Shoreline ???
"i can really feel it buzzing in my but, err the nether regions" should be next year Honda's tagline just for the fun of it.
Serious DanDan vibes 😊. Nice video, I'm super jealous of your roads/traffic. Nowhere near me are there streets that empty, gotta ride a good hour out of the city for that.
Any chance of some how to videos with the Rebel 500? I'm a total bike noob and don't know anyone with a bike even to offer advice.
I'm a DanDan fan myself! Guess it's kind of rubbed off on me haha. What kind of "how to" videos do you want to see? I'm a beginner rider myself, but I plan on documenting my progression and future trips. Do you have a bike?
Great review, and thanks for sharing about riding as a type of meditation, being in the moment. 👍
Thanks for the review. The new 2020 Rebel 500 should be just good or better.
So hype for the 2020 rebel, it looks sick
Cameron Mchugh
Me too!
@@ronmendoza4916 im hoping all goes well and it will be my first bike soon!
@@cameronmchugh4153 hey cameron! i am just thinking about buying the new model of rebel too! it looks awesome! and it looks like that they really fix every bad thing that people complained about so i cant wait for honda to sell this in my town ,Madrid!
@@sergiuulici3908 me too! I just wish I had some more money because $6499 is a decent chunk of money for me especially after buying all the gear I will need. But it will be worth it!!!
