As always, thanks for watching and helping support all of this. I really appreciate it guys!
7:10 Why did you have to show that.....ugg, now I want that more than the current rebel...hate the "modern-ness" of a lot of bikes nowadays, I am 28 but don't like modern looking bikes. Now I will be looking for a Rebel 250 instead.
That’s what I got last month. Great bike, does 80mph down the interstate no problem. Mine averages 64mpg.
Heck yeah, congrats on the new bike and thanks for sharing what you're pulling out of yours ;)
I had one for a while. When I bought it the salesman said it wouldn't be a good freeway bike. I beg to differ. I thought it did just fine. Did 85 in a strong headwind and was able to pass other traffic on the freeway.
@@michaelphillips2079 how tall are you and what do you weight, Michael? If you don't mind me asking
I dont take freeways with mine so mine averages 86mpg feels good
I would like a 500, but I can't afford it and don't want to wait to save as it would take a year to save 2k. I only need to drive at 70 every day for my daily freeway commute, but my concern is my weight which I'm 6'1 @ 250 pounds and the engine rpms running highs most of the time which would affect lo longevity.
I was going to buy a rebel 1100 but found out Honda limit the speed to 100mph, the rebel 500 has the limit set to 95mph, the rebel 300 has no limit set and will do 108mph. Now will buy a 300.
I’m vertically challenged so this makes me happy
Thank you for all the in depth information! Really helps with deciding on what is best option to purchase!
No no no, thank you for the kind words and support ;)
Absolutely obsessed with this bike!! I had a 2001 Harley sportster and absolutely hated it..got on the rebel and never looked back!! I did the class for the Safety course and was so impressed with the Rebel 300!! Most comfortable easiest to ride bike ever!! I ll never ride anything else!
I had a 07 sportster took my riders safty course test on supplied reble 250s hated them never went back again
Amazing video, informative, well produced and edited, no fluff but detailed when it counts great work!
Thank you for the great review buddy! I'm gonna go with the 2023 Rebel 500 in the same blue as your 300 was in! Just trying to decide about ABS now. Great video!!!
Just purchased mine! Thanks for the video.
The rebel has gradually changed from the previous modal,
Its acool bike with all the led lighting
Most importantly the reliability of the engine
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO .
I'm ready for buy a new motorcycle and the rebel look so nice because for long time when a live in my country i drive a motorcycle whit no clutch and i little nervous for change .
But wherever is great video thanks 😎👌🏻
I want the HONDA REBEL 300 for my wife - looks comfy with lower seat configuration
I bought one in August I love mine , it’s perfect for me 5’8” 145 lbs . I added the Mustang tripper seat and Puig wind screen and Mx4 slip on muffler I love riding country roads in WV 😀
Which puig windshield did you get
@@tonimusgrave9530 , It’s the Puig smoke that connects to the triple tree with the 8mm hex factory bolts .I traded mine in two weeks ago for the 2023 candy blue 500 and kept all my accessories and installed them on the 500 .
Good to know, I'm 5'8" 135 lbs and going to get one Saturday
Your videos remind me a lot of KevCentral, but for motorcycles. Good stuff
Lol I've had quite a few guys mention that the last couple of months and I definitely see the similarities after checking out his content recently. Appreciate it man ;)
You cover the bases well. I got my wife the Navi, but really want to get her the Rebel 300.. I built her a nice Harley XL1200L, but she wants a lighter and nimble bike for short rides. Aside from Hp and weight, this is much closer in size and function, to her Harley, than the Navi.. Your voice is very similar to GixxerFoo.. He does cool videos about Harleys and such.
I have wanted a rebel 500 since they were first developed. I would really love to have the 1100 now though. Even if money wasn’t and issue, I’d rather have a couple year old 1100 instead of any new Harley Davidson model. Low seat height (I’m only 5’9” and 35yrs old so I’m only getting shorter with age) and the power-to-weight ratio makes this tied as my dream bike right next to the Indian FTR1200.
Realistically, it’s not just money holding me back at this point; I have 4 Honda motorcycles in my garage now and I think I’d piss my fiancé off by buying another bike right now.
NO, SHE WOULD SAY ,, "SEE YA"> GO RIDE YER F..CKIN HONDA !!
Oh yeah, the Rebel 1100 when it comes to performance for the $$ in a cruiser package is incredibly hard to beat! If only we can get past these crazy rona values on everything used, those couple year old Rebels will finally start to depreciate a little lol!
Naaaah, you already have 4 so the odds are she won't notice another tucked in there lol! ...or, one could say it's not too late to just give it a try and see what she says to 5 before you "officially" put the ring on it and then you'll really know whether or not she's a keeper lol 😉
Keep bikes, ditch fiancé. Experience talking here!
If she will get mad at you for how you spend your money, then you will be saving tons of money if she leaves over it. Hope you were kidding.
@@supersteve8305 nah, I bought her a bike a little over a month ago. She’s got the fever now like the rest of us boys!
What's the pulling power going up hill & how does it feel if you hit a hard bum in the rd?
Just bought one, cool lil scooter
I wish it launches in India soon. Ready to buy it as soon as it arrives. Love the style of this bike & the Honda reliability
Still waiting
I’m excited to buy my first bike and I think this bike will be a great first bike for me, I can’t wait to hit the road on it
Man I’m thinking about getting one too, same situation
Looks like we’re all in the same boat here ⛵️
Samee! Any of yall got it yet after 6 months?
@@riko2957just bought one a couple hours ago
It's been a year, one of y'all better have bought one by now 😂
I was leaning hard on the Shadow Aero, but after my motorcycle accident in April (hit a deer and totaled my Rebel 250 after 7 years), I have my eye on the Rebel 300 as a not horribly expensive replacement for the Rebel 250... I just got to heal up and need one more hand surgery after July 4th. I love the blue on the Rebel 300, it's light, there are actually a decent amount of saddlebags that fit (for whatever reason, the Shadow Aero doesn't have much of an option without relocating the turn signals), nearly 80 mpg in the days of $5.25 gas, there are cool tire options - like the Pirelli MT60RS (enduro 80% on-road and 20% off-road), I think the fork gators and fork covers should be standard from factory, the pleaded upgrade seat, and the cool looking headlight cowl. Plus it has a 6th gear, so those thousands of miles I rode at 55-60 mph nearly topped out in 5th gear, the Rebel 300 should be sitting comfortably and very relaxed at a lower rpm in 6th gear at those speeds.
@Mark Andrews Thank you. The recovery process sucks... work broke my chops because of little things - I continued working with a broken right hand, it's frustrating not being able to do many things, it's frustrating having a ton of hospital follow ups (each one costing $$$), it sucks finding out the surgery did not go so well because the pins slipped out of place and it is healing 10-15% out of line, and hospital billing departments screwing up left and right - so all of those phone calls trying to sort things out. Not really painful - well the first week and a half were bad, but then it's just a ton of endless annoying headaches after that.
@Mark Andrews Same to you. Hope you have a full and speedier recovery
@Mark Andrews Thank you. Happy Father's Day to you too. Hopefully some point this year. I did not get to do my 125+ mile three state ride this year (hopefully will later this year if all works out): ua-cam.com/video/uKYiIOzAIcM/v-deo.html
It's a great bike the Rebel 300!
I WOULD GO FOR THE 500cc MODEL MYSELF ! THANKS KEVIN, NICE VIDEOS YOU THE BEST..
I'd have to as well, the performance bump is very noticeable between the two and I'm a sucker for a few more ponies but the 300 is very hard to beat when it comes to bang for the buck!
Appreciate the kind words and support bud ;)
Hello Kevin, Sherwin here.. We want to get 2023 ST 125 DAC,s any news available ?? Maybe this fall prayin it happens..T.U.
This is the bike I'm set on for my first
I'm new to the Bike world, i will do my bike training course next week. I'm planning to getting a bike to go to work and that would be around 100 miles round trip every day. Is the Rebel 300 an ideal beginner bike for that mileage?
Having done valve adjustments on a cbr250r and my crf250l this sure looks like a very easy job with all that room over the valve cover. That's a major plus in the maintenance dept.
Was it out of spec?
@@leebrewer7394 My crf was perfect at 8k miles but the cbr took 1 shim at 14k miles
Thank you.
this was epic
Thank you
Guys can yah tell me how much will it cost after tax ? And out the dealership? If it’s 5000$? Because I went in today and they told me it’ll be 8k with everything done not counting interest
The funny thing is it sounds like a beast with any other muffler/exhaust lol. So insane
I might get it to get good at using a clutch
Is it me or honda is the only cruiser with proper twin spar type frame otherwise many cruiser ticks 6 speed, LC but none gave chassis like twin spar or trellis all came with single underbone type
I’m wanting a beginners type of bike. Im very new to all this so trying to learn little but little. Anyways tho you guys think this a good beginner bike?
Aloha,
Just brought one today!
Heck yeah, congrats bud! Ride safe ;)
A much better seat or option, and possibly the 1100 cage set.
"Vertically challenged" more like fun sized, little to no weight displacement on the bike - I'm a shadow!
I was originally looking at the Navi but, the seat height on the Rebel 300 is much easier on my back; I can actually put my foot flat on the ground. The Navi did feel a little too wide for the package.
is it fine for ppl 6 foot tall?
The only complaint I have about it is : Honda need to make the seat more comfortable
It's faster than a Harley, and more fun to ride. That's all I need to know.
Are they not doing the option of DCT on the 2022? That's gonna make the difference of me buying or not buying one. The 1100 is way to big of a bike for me.
No mam, sadly there is no DCT version of the Rebel 300 or 500 - it's an exclusive option only to the 1100 at this time. Hopefully Honda will hurry up and start trickling that DCT option down to more cruisers and really, more motorcycles in general as there aren't really any smaller bikes with a DCT.
Hi I have to say I love the Blue. I'm 15 and have never rode any sort of motorcycle, I want to get one as soon as I can! Would you recommend this one for a first bike?
The rebel 250 was my first bike and I would definitely recommend this as anybody's first bike. The low seat and low center of gravity is very forgiving. I had 80 lbs of gear on my Rebel riding at 65mph and one of two straps snapped that was holding the gear to my passenger seat and sissy bar. The bike went into a deep wobble then righted itself and I was able to pull over and fix things. The 250 rebel is what most riding schools use. And if you do lay it down you don't have to be a power lifter to get it upright. Good luck and take it to a big parking lot first and do figure eights and learn how to ride slow and in control.
everyone talks about it vibrateing down the highway and i used to run a honda 125m atc with no brakes no suspensions 50mph down the maid road with bad front bearings pulling to the right LOL
Magkano DP and monthly nya
Aguardando chegar no 🇧🇷
2:01 Is that a sticker? Looks like you could peel it off.
I'm only 17 but I want to get into bikes would this be a good one to start with? It's relatively cheap and I've heard good things about it
Super easy safe bike to ride. Good beginning bike wouldn’t recommend for long highway speeds as it tops out at 80 mph and most highway idiots are driving well over that so best to be out of traffic than close to speeds. But overall a great street bike easy to zip in and out of traffic.
When is this coming to india? If not then what is the procedure to buy a bike from international market?
I'm a beginner and this bike looks sexy
I wanna buy my first motorcycle. Idk if I would want this or the 500 I’m 5,8-5,9 250pounds
You'll probably enjoy the 500. But honestly my 250 Rebel pulled great with my healthy girlfriend on the back. I rode to Atlanta and back from Washington DC. It did 85 all day long. Later when I got a750 Virago I appreciated a smoother ride with less vibration and better acceleration. But that 250 was a reliable beast!
im 44 Y.O. looking at getting my first bike we were asked to comment on what we would change honestly the flat and glossy colors dont appeal to me id much rather see a glossy frame
and engine that isnt black and wheels that were either aluminum or chrome plated just to much black on that bike
why not all gloss
Accessories. ? Windshield and top case ?
Yessir, here's an option to mount the top case: amzn.to/3xDkXIb
And I've got a few windshield options you can check out over at www.amazon.com/shop/hondaprokevin
Hope that helps ;)
@@HondaProKevin Thanks
As a total I'm torn between the 300, which is more affordable or the 500, which has more power. I have no choice but to ride on 50-70 mph roads, so i want something safe. Question: i was set on an xmax 300...would the 300 be a better option?? Their engines are very similar in specs but I love the storage options with the xmax. Or would I be better off with a 300?? So many choices...I'm 5'11, 155. The 500 seems like the better option but it's gonna hurt more in the wallet. Thoughts??
I’m in the same predicament but I think the 300 is what I’m gonna purchase
WOW
They dont sell it in my country; pitty.
I realy like it!!!
👏👏
Bikes are cheaper in the USA than in the Philippines
Vertically challenged I feel attacked
Lol all in good fun bud ;)
I think all the 2017 and newer Rebels are by far the ugliest bikes ever sold in the U.S. by a Japanese manufacturer. They are basically brand new rat bikes. But despite their hideous looks, I did manage to find a use for the 300. I am 64, and have serious knee and hip joint issues, as well as fairly severe arthritis. I rode a Yamaha XT225 dual sport bike for 15 years, and it finally reached the point where I could no longer get on or off without standing on something. The seat was just too high. It also had tube type tires, and I was no longer able to fix a flat with tube type tires by myself out in the middle of nowhere. And you get a lot of flats riding around in the AZ desert with tube type tires. So I gave up and let the XT225 sit for several months, and finally sold it. But I still wanted to ride off road. I started looking for a small street bike with a low seat and tubeless tires. The Rebel 300 was the ONLY one out there. All other small street bikes had tube type tires. I went to a stealer dealer and sat on one. It was fairly easy for me to get on and off of. So I started looking for a used non ABS model. ABS sucks everywhere, but on dirt it means you basically have no brakes. I found a 2019 model with no rear seat. I took it on some dirt roads and smooth trails. It did surprisingly well. I put a flap on the rear of the front fender, a gravel guard over the radiator, and an eBay rack on the rear fender. I also put a bash plate on it to protect the engine. Yes they actually do make bash plates for the 300 and 500 Rebels. A place called T-Rex Racing sells them. I am going to put side racks on it to attach saddlebags to, and MT60RS supermoto tires on it. Not only does it work well off pavement, but it looks a lot better when covered in dirt. It kind of looks like something from a Mad Max movie.
The Shadow Aero 750 used to be a beautiful bike. But they completely ruined the looks of it with those ugly black wheels. But even back when it looked so good, it was practically worthless for going very far from home with because of its tube type tires. Tube type tires are several times easier to get flats with than tubeless tires, and they cannot be fixed beside the road. A flat with tube type tires means a tow truck. And a tow truck means huge $$$. With a tubeless tire, you can just plug it, reinflate it, and be on your way. I keep wondering why we still have tube type tires in 2023? What happened to those wonderful wire spoked wheels designed for tubeless tires that Honda made for the 1986 and 1987 Rebel 450? They were only made two years, and never seen again.
Sorry, you can't beat a Japanese Classic Honda Rebel 🏍
the spoked wheel version that was made for 30 years 1985-2016
in the metric that matters to me most.
Hint: It's not speed, it's not power, it's not looks....

i wouldn't drop a kx500 in one
500 rebel automatic
100%! We've needed that for years as it would only help Honda put even more of a stronghold on this segment of the market, while also bringing in a LOT of people that would've never considered a Rebel. Plus if they adapt it for that engine, it'll open up a DCT CBR500R, CB500X, CB500F, CL500 and maaaan oh man would sales skyrocket!
I've been saying it for years, why we still haven't seen it is beyond me lol!
is this bike automatic?
Watch the video
No it’s not. I wish it was
Where’s the review? This is an overview.
i dont like the look of that shock mount
lol you talk about color but its literally just a tank and 2 fenders paint em whatevr ya want its really not that hard
all good '' but '' the fuel tank is so ugly no f---gly that even sitting on one would make me up chuck .. wheres the gb-300
I'm just the opposite. This newer style is much more better
good grief..I cant get ABS with pearl blue color. black gets ABS only. horrible limited selection. its tank and fender and honda acts like the whole bike needs to be painted. blacked out bikes are the most boring of all color selections. 2021, 2022 and 2023 are all same color schemes for 300. way to go honda.
not really affordable with these stealership markups thiefs
Plz launch in india
Kevin do you have an email address?
I was looking for the review one and done. I'm capable of researching the internet bud. Dislike!!
