- Luis, Cruz, and I kick off the beginning of summer by meeting up for a beautiful ride down Lake Short Drive on a hot spring day. Luis and I are ripping our new Honda Rebel 500's. Cruz is cruising on his Suzuki Boulevard M50. This vid has chill moments, deep moments, adrenaline moments, funny moments, etc. Grab a coffee, kick back, and relax as we take you on a journey.

That Suzuki Boulevard what bad ass bike just got one best 800cc cruiser on the market great video great driving I wish the weather was as good over here in England
Love the Red Rebel. Looking to get the new 2020 Rebel 500 this summer.
Same here for my wife with the black fairing and that awesome new 4 point led headlight 😃
@BMO They not out in red on the 2020, not that I know of anyway
I've really enjoyed the ride. Thanks!
Enjoyed going along for the ride. Thanks for posting this video. When a used 500 can be found I'm going to get one. Going to use it for rides in the countryside. I live near the Natchez Trace. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
I go fishing and hiking near Waterloo all the time. I have land north of Florence.
Thanks for your he Ride man,really enjoyed this video
I have needed this video to verify my type of driving that will happen.
Thanks for the ride! You have me sold on the Rebel! ✌🏼
Stay safe man
I’m hundred percent with you! Congratulations for going out and having the courage to share this! My learner 2 days coming up this weekend, and I’m in my late 50’s and feeling the same as you! Nervous/excited at the same time. Practice is what we have to do so I made a list of the top 10 things I should practice 😊 and do one of them ever time I’m out riding. Good on ya as we say Downunder!
You guys should take a ride west along the Mississippi River and rolling hills with open roads absolutely gorgeous
Looked like a beautiful day and a beautiful area
What kind of helmet is Cruz wearing? I’m really diggin the look of it.
Great video,,sounds like you were Lil under the weather like fighting a cold or some Virus hope you got better
BartenderizerDave MaitaiMaster yea I might’ve been a little sick. I feel great right now thanks!
Love this video. It showcases the capability of the Rebel.
Super fun vid fellas!
Cool video Chris. 👌
LOL - did you shortcut through Rosehill Cemetery?
awesome ride!
Hey man how you doing..?.. How do you think i'm doing..?.. I'm riding a Rebel..😎
That reminded me when I lived in Evanston. Peace and hairgrease.
When your from chicago and you know all the streets that your riding I wish I had my bike
yoni fleischer come back to chi and get a bike and let’s ride bro
Chris Mathy I still live in chicago I just gotta buy another bike and renew my license
Chris Mathy how can I get in contact with you when I got my license and bike
yoni fleischer dm me on instagram Chris.mathy
Hey man im thinking of getting this bike but coming from sport bikes worried it wont really be enough power but what do you think? Also how well does it handle when going through turns quickly?
I mean I've never ridden a sports bike so I cannot say forsure, but from the numbers this is what I know: It is about the same weight as a normal sport bike ~400 pounds. It has about 45 horsepower, which is about half of a 600cc super-sport. But what I've heard is down low in the rev range, it feels like a liter bike. I hear is MUCH more comfortable than a sport bike. The max speed is like ~105mph which is honestly enough. It has plenty of passing power during normal driving speeds. Its not a massive bike so it can lane split pretty well. Now that I'm comfortable with the power do I wish it had more? Yes I do. But I know that more power would just be unnecessary and just get me in trouble. What I love about the bike is how new and stylish it is. It also had plenty of power for the streets. It is also very comfortable. The tires are also very wide so I am very comfortable to learn the bike over. I even scraped my pegs once. I think it sounds great with the exhaust I have.
Do you have after market exhaust? If so, what is it? Sounds, looks great. Cheers
Read further in the comments, saw the answer. Happy riding!
i like that color red honda rebel 500cc amazing
Can you do a review on the Boulevard M 50 ? Nice video.
SuperLooney 5150 already did it!
Ive heard the radiant cycles slip ons arent good for the bike, is this true? Also is there a loss in power ? Thanks
Motive X7 I cannot comment on the loss of power because I put the slip on on the bike the first day I got it. But there is plenty of power. And I don’t think it’s bad for the bike. Some people who are super nervous about hurting the bike might claim it is. But I think it’s fine
My new rebel 500 love it gracias amigo
Looks like a fun bike
It is! Thanks dude
On that long straight-away, it appears that your Honda 500 was doing very poorly on rough road surfaces. Would you still recommend the bike?
Thanks!
Those are some massive bumps that would toss around any bike. The bike handles regular bumps and stuff just fine. Still recommend it.
Its also bcuz he rides like an ass
Nice video. I would suggest learning a few more group riding techniques, to keep you safer out there.
My 20 year old daughter, 5’4”” 110 lb, is interested in riding. I had a rebel 250 years ago. Do you think, this would be a good bike for Her to start on?
I'd say maybe go for the Rebel 300 just because it's smaller and easier to learn on. I started on a 300 and had a blast. But yeah the 500 is a great first bike too so I'm sure she could take that on if she wanted.
250 years ago??? :)
You can’t just cough 😷 like that, oh, this was a year ago, my bad, how things have changed.
Sum Ting Wong I know those were some good times. You could make out with your bro’s with no worries at all
Chris Mathy those were the days
@@Ledface117 what. WHAT THE FU--?! --- the wise words of john tron
@@Ledface117 not gonna lie you had us in the first half lol
I got my eye on this (Rebel 500) and the 2018 Honda Shadow Aero. I currently have a 2009 Honda Rebel, which I put a few thousand miles on so far. Thoughts?
godwhomismike get the 500 you’ll love it. It would be much much more sporty and modern than the shadow.
Honestly I kinda wish I got the cb500f in retrospect, but the rebel 500 is still a great bike. The looks make up for it.
@Bunnyshooter 223 I absolutely LOVE my 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 ABS KRT Edition, and I'm only 74 years of age.
Ordered my Rebel....comes end of May. Sad it only comes in grey metalic, white and blue
Does it sit comfortable enough to do long road trips? I mean like 1000 miles plus... I really love this bike and I would like to know if it is because then the first thing I’ll do when I wake up is go to the shop and buy one :P
Benjamin Coussement I’m not too sure I haven’t taken a trip that long. This ride in this video was the longest I have ever done on this bike (~2 hours) and the only thing that was sore was my lower back and that is just because I was slouched in the seat and had bad posture. I’m sure if I sat up more straight I would be fine. Let me know if you get the bike!!
Chris Mathy First of all, thank you for the quick respond and hell yeah I’m going to buy that bike, it’s a bit pricey here in belgium at 8000 euro’s so I’ll have to work a bit more for it but when I have the money I will not hesitate 1 second haha.
Gabe Singh Yea it’s alright but not great. After riding for like half a day your ass is numb. But I feel like that’s the case for most bikes
@Gabe Singh agreed, the previous gen seat was 1000% better, gonna try to see if i can switch the new gen seat w/ an old one once i get my new gen rebel
A fellow chicago guy right here. Man I have a small benelli 135. Let's ride one day.
Hey Mathy. How's the steering on the Rebel 500? Do you feel like the handlebars fight you a bit in the tight turns or does it stay planted when leaning in? The handling on the balloon tires worries me a bit as I tested a used Rebel the other day and found slow turning a bit of a pain (as if one needed to keep those handlebars down with extra force because they just weren't keen on stayinh put half-way through a corner.)
Huh that's strange that it felt that way to you. But no it feels super planted to me. The fat front tire really makes the steering feel very responsive. Not to mention it also gives me a lot of confidence to lean it over a lot (i've even scraped pegs once). As for mid corner, i think its planted. I don't recall ever thinking to myself that the steering is fighting me mid corner. It always just feels very light and responsive to me. I love to take it on roundabouts or highway exits and really get it leaned over for extended periods. However, I have never ridden a sport bike. So it might not be razor sharp compared to those bikes. To me though, it feels very sporty and flickable.
Very interesting. The guy had crash bars installed but I can't imagine that extra weight being the cause. It kept trying to self-correct really hard, which created this wobble effect. I'm really keen on this bike, but yeah, the steering would need to be fixed somehow.
That is very strange. I have never experienced any sort of wobbles or anything you've described, even when flying through traffic and leaning the bike at 100+mph. Maybe it was just a lemon, he crashed it, or messed with the steering somehow?
That could very well be the case. Only way to find out would be to test one at a dealership. Right now it's between this and the z650, but the rebel has such nice character to it.
Keep me updated what you do! :)
I have a question do recommend the 500 to be taken around town or like school for a some what a beginning street moto teen
Doc Lara the 500 is perfect for around town. If you’re just starting, you just have to be a little careful because it has more power than a 250.
Chris Mathy i have been riding dirt bike since I was 6-8 so I think can handle it😃
You should be fine then! :)
The city must be Chicago. Reminds of the Lake front in Cleveland, but a much bigger skyline then Clev.
It is Chicago!
I love this vid. It makes me want to visit Chicago. I'm a Brit living in Joisee....... Btw, someone told me that you cannot fit bar end mirrors to the Rebel. Correct? Best, Pete.
Thanks man. Check out my newer two vids. I ride my 78 cb750 through Chicago and my custom Harley roadster 1200 through Chicago. Have a great day brother
@@Ledface117 Certainly will! Cheers.
Have you ever had the issue of the bike not wanting to get out of neutral when at a stop?
jackchase79 yes it happens every once in a while. When that happens, you just have to let the clutch fully out, then pull it back in, and try to go in gear again. That usually works 100% of the time
Chris Mathy thanks for the info and I’m gonna give that a try if it happens again. I appreciate it!
Good old Rosemont
Man U guys are moving!! I actually got my eye on tha Vulcan 650 but seeing how great tha rebel rides!!🤦🏾♂️ I’m really getting pulled n both directions!! I’m a first time rider and soon to be bike owner if I can ever choose from tha 2.
I'm a pretty noobie rider, only owned a motorcycle for about six months. I'm really glad I bought my rebel 500, the rebel is super jumpy from gears 1-3 takes off quicker than my buddy's Vulcan 650, but the Vulcan catches up fairly quick and even gaps me afterwards. The Vulcan feels better at highway speeds than the rebel tho, idk I feel like the Vulcan can cruise at 75-100 mph but the rebel kinda strains itself. I highly recommend the rebel 500 anyways, I'm glad it was my first motorcycle purchase
I’m split between the two bikes also more because of the peg position
What did you go with?
Honda Rebel 500 is like one of the best bikes Out there for city driving, running errands, commuting. Nice looking, easy ride, great Mpg, bulletproof Honda technology, those bike run forever as long as there is gas on the tank, perfect for as a second bike 😎too
@lazer tag 2 ez
what do u think about a long distance cruise, 6-8 hrs, but stops/breaks in between?
What muffler/exhast do you have on your bike?
ole razzle dazzel it’s that radiant cycles shorty gp exhaust. I got it off amazon for $60
If you don't know where you're going, its better to let someone else lead.
True! Thanks for watching :)
Great view of LSD, Thanks for sharing.
Is that stock exhaust. If not what kind is it
what exhaust do you have or is this stock??
andrew canevaro it is the Radiant Cycles shorty gp exhaust. I got it on amazon for like 60 bucks. Amazing value!!
I would have fallen asleep except for all the wind noise.
Are you guys still getting together to ride around chicago?
Let me know to join you this 2021 spring
Hey brother. I haven’t rode with Cruz in a little while. And I sold my rebel in 2018. I still ride tho. I’ll let you know!
wow that looks FUN. i kinda like the CB500F more. Same price sam engine (different tune tho). A few of the custom Rebel 500's looked impressive, i hope they get super popular.
I consider the 300 the 'beginners'. A 500 can stick with you for a while, nice size imo.
BunnyJr Hopper yea honestly in hindsight I would’ve maybe been happier with the cb500f for my riding. But the Rebel 500 looks so damn good it makes up for it. Even though the rebel 500 is a cruiser. It rides so good and has a lot of traction. Test ride both if you can and see what you like more
What exhaust does your rebel have?
Radiant cycles shorty gp. 60 bucks on Amazon
Stock exhaust?
Robert Rexrode negative. Both the rebel’s in this video are running the Radiant Cycles Shorty GP exhaust.
Let me know how you like it!
Chris Mathy Do they do the exhaust in UK? :)
Metal Covers do they sell it in the uK? I’m not sure
I want one so bad! Nice bike dude
Libertarian Nationalist thanks man!
Man I am on the fence between this bike + the Kawasaki Vulcan S.......
This one for sure
I have a rebel would like to ride with you guys
What muffler do you have?
60 dollar amazon slip on. Called radiant cycles shorty gp exhaust
omg is that carbon meister???!
Not sure what you’re talkin bout dude
Cruz...does he youtube and stream games? He sounds and looks like him...so sorry for the misunderstanding
koppesneller 13 I do not believe that he is the guy you’re thinkin about. But then again I don’t know the guys extremely well lol
@@Ledface117 ok. Just freaked out a bit because his voice is the same...the beard...does he bind his hair on top of his head? If he has short hair its def not him...but thx for replying dude👍👊
Hey man I'm 6'1 and im a pretty buff too 😅and im planning to get the 500 but i don't know if im to big for it ....the 500 is just perfect for my budget 😁btw great video keep it up💪
Sharath Leonardo Mohan you may possibly be a lil too big! But go and sit on it and see if it feels comfortable!
Your too big. You can ride it but will be cramped over distance. Look at the vulcan 650 with extended reach ergos or a moto guzzi v7 or v9 for first bike.
A winter chore for you.......Lose the 'idiot sticker' on the tank
Zig Zag don’t have that bike anymore
@@Ledface117 No?? Any particular issues or just fancied a change?
Zig Zag yea just wanted a bigger bike. I now have a Harley roadster 1200. I have a bunch of footage that I want to throw up on my yt page. But I have been lazy lately
Tbell isn't food. lmao
Tbell is great dude. Don’t act like you’re too good for a cheap taco teeheee2. Have a good weekend
I have a 18 rebel 300 my first bike great bike no trouble out of it but after 5 months I’m already needing somethin bigger I rode my grandpas vtx 13 and 1800 and it’s time to move up
1 Jn.2:15-17 and remember 1 Jn.5:19 and 2 Cor.6:14-18 and regard not the word of mankind; for the wisdom of man is mere foolishness to our God, Ro.1:17-32~!~ I bet after riding with those shadows, you want to drop a tooth in the front and rear sprocket now don't you? The only thing missing is helmet communications and a bigger bike to stay up with the big ones on top end and then you would have something then.
Squid
we all have Squid tendencies lol
I watch/listen to this to fall asleep
L4GGING lol so glad you enjoy it!!
Chris Mathy after army boot camp and AIT I want to get a rebel bro!
Don't eat at taco bell if you plan on riding on a motorcycle, you know how taco bell will give you the squirts.🤣
This would not be my kinda off fun riding with strangers also big no no pulled out in inside lane with black jeep passing on outside lane did he know for sure the jeep was staying in the outside lane?and he doesn't know the wayand they are stopping at intersections no thanks yah and no proper jackets
Exhaust sounds so weird and after fires like crazy
Ace Cat I love it!
Chris Mathy not healthy for bike :( get ecu flash asap for healthy engine
Ace Cat pops mean the engine is running rich. Running rich is safe
Chris Mathy I mean sure but you'll have bad fuel economy /accel will be kinda worse and going to get foul spark plugs faster
I’m from the area. Up for some rebeling. I got an old 450cc. Anyone that wants to ride I’m down for it. Gotta be from Illinois tho. All types of bikes welcome. Maybe all rebel’s??
