I just purchased a custom build honda rebel. And i love it so much. it's just fine for the cruising and i dont feel like it's lacking any power. i was looking at the 833 or a dyna before, and just came across this custom rebel, and i had to see it in person :D brought it home the same day haha... The price difference was a big deal too. Vehicles inDdenmark are incredible expensive, so the cheaper rebel meant a lot too. When i get older i'll look into the harleys :) Great video :)
@@mrs.porkchops3049 the Corbin seat is padded with pine cones like the factory one :/ Front forward controls help with hip cramp. Shorty muffler helps to be heard.
I bought my rebel 500 brand new in the late of 2017, and do not regret it one bit. It was also my first motorcycle. Im 5'10 to. Did a 700 mile trip, and damn it was fun, a test to my ass strength, but fun. LOL
Found this video informative. I was looking at a 883 to perhaps a upgrade from my Kawasaki Vulcan 500. I'm going to stay with my bike I currently have just from the cost of ownership perspective.
Really good and useful comparison, Mrs. Pork Chops! I prefer Honda Rebel 500, for short and midrange distances. Thank you for this video... Greetings from the Czech Republic (Middle Europe)! Conc.
Both are fine bikes but have completely different types of motors so it would boil down to personal preference. Either will take you as far as you want to go at speeds exceeding interstate limits.
Hey subscribed. Greetings from Greece. Been seeing your bike a few times since I've been following the Rebel community. Thanks for the video. I'm intending to buy the Rebel but I'm in doubt lately.
@@mrs.porkchops3049 Well I like the Harley nightster 1200 but everybody keeps bashing on the Harleys for some reason which I cannot really understand. I understand some points to their reasoning but in the end it's still a bike. However the nightster is a bit out of my budget, the Rebel is more affordable. Apart from those two, Ive also been looking at on/off bikes like the BMW gs or Honda transalp but these are a completely different category. The thing is I would like to travel and start camping with the bike, so in terms of comfort I'm not sure.
I currently have a Honda Shadow 750 and i recently rode the rebel 1100 DCT (automatic). I've been thinking of getting a Sportster and shopping around, but yesterday saw a relatively low priced rebel 500 and started wondering if there were reviews of Sportster vs rebel 500. Your review very much sways me in favor of the rebel. While i think of the Sportster as a bucket list bike, i don't think i need the rumble, vibrations and extra weight. I'll rather have light weight, chill cruising. Now i think my ideal bike currently in production would be the manual transmission rebel 1100 (with my ideal vintage bike being the 80s magna 750), but that's several thousand above my current budget and it's not my most important expense to make at this time in life.
I’m a new rider and looking to get either the Honda rebel 500 or the 883. I have have bad knees with one knee replacement.I had problems with my legs my whole life so I’m wondering should I get the Honda because it’s lighter so it doesn’t drop all the time or is it a big difference on holding it up when you’re backing up or putting it away. Or when you hit the front brake accidentally when your wheel is turned. Do you find it any difference in that perspective? Thank you so much if you’re gonna respond to this I’d love to know
Mrs. Pork Chops where did you get your T Bars for the Rebel? Not a fan of the riding position with the stock bars and its killing my back. I think a set of mini apes or T-Bars may help.
Great video. I really like your straight up style. The Rebel is too cool. I think it is bad taste to flat out copy someone but you have given me some great ideas. Thanks.
I'm the guy that started the facebook post lol I totally agree with you Mrs. Pork Chops, I like both. We need a variety of bikes so we don't get bored. Only 2 things I want add though. The iron 883 starts at $8,999 The gas mileage is way higher on the Rebel 500 65mpg vs 45mpg
Did you paint the factory front fenders and side panels? Or did you have to replace those with metal ones to be easier to paint. Not sure how that paint would do on that rough plastic fender and panels?
Hey Miss chop's: Enjoyed your video...I am 1,76 meter in height,last year i bought a Honda Shadow ace 750 1999 model,pristin mint,green/offwhite,and love too see more womans taking the MC to the heart..just learning to ride the bike,as my friend is learning me how to handle it,very good teacher..shall take MC license in the summer..The question is: The heightdifference between a Man and a woman give the Lady's a lesser choice whats bike is suited for them, i sincerely hope the MC manufactors give it a try to develop MC from 500cc and up who is in the right seathight..The Rebel is a very popular choice by womans who love to ride...i hope the MC producers take the note to make MC at lower heights too...
Thor Fornes honestly a woman can ride just about anything. I have 3 bikes that are all different heights. I’m 5’2 and ride just fine. With a few adjustments
Do you have any play in your handle bars? I have 10 inch biltwell window bars and no matter how much I tighten or adjust, there is about an inch and a half of forward and backwards play! Let me know if you have any ideas haha. Thanks!
xoxoxo cass I have t bars from steady garage with no play. Mine are mounted to the triple tree with no risers. Have you checked your risers to make sure they are tight? Send me a message on Instagram. Link in the description
Ciao. É da tempo che cerco un manubrio simile al tuo,ma non ho trovato nulla. Potresti dirmi la marca o dove lo hai comprato? Grazie e complimenti per la customizzazione😎👍
I am getting ready to buy my first bike. And I am debating Harley inconic sound and the nostalgia over Honda reabaility and low maintance. And the cost is cheaper than barely
I dont have both, i wanted the 883 but now im leaning toward the rebel cause where im from the 883 is $40k-45k and the rebel is $15k. At one point in life though i'll have both hehe
They both make 45 HP, but with Harley's extra weight it's damn near dead even on speed due to the torque jump in the beginning with the Iron. It all comes down to preference, your budget and how the consumer wants to approach it. My first bike was the Reb 500 why? Because In the beginning I wanted to dip my toe in the riding world cheaply, with reliability and something that looked nice. For me I knew Honda would start every time without fail, that the Rebel has THE easiest maintenance schedule of any bike I've heard of. It's literally change the oil when it says to and check the chain tension.......that's it, period. No tightening your frame or any other jazz. Anyway it served it's purpose as my starter and in March of 2021 I'm buying a softail standard my first Harley.......I hope I don't regret it and wish I got the Rebel 1100 instead.... fingers crossed.
@@KentRoads take your own advice. The fastest I've ever seen a rebel 500 from 0-60 is 5.9 seconds. A good rider on an 883 will run a low 5 second 0-60. I guarantee if we raced I'd win 10-10 times
I cannot believe that these 21st century riders on cruisers no matter the brand have to have a fucking cell phone mounted on the handle bars. I had only cruisers for quite a while but there were no cell phones then. Now I have a roadster, I've always had naked bikes ...But I refuse to put a cell phone on my bars, I don't even wear a watch. Riding is being free and also a unique individual experience adding gadgets that connect you to other simply destroys the whole concept of being a rider.

everything is painted on the factory parts. super easy to paint. but i did take it to a place and ive had no issues with the paint
Those bars look like they came off a rail scooter. Nice bike.

You are going to want to change to the Rebel 1100, I really hope you change(d) your mind.

Get some gloves to protect those pretty little hands please
