Three New 2020 Honda Rebel 500's Review at Decco Ranch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- We purchased three brand new 2020 Honda Rebel 500's, one of each color. This video shows the unloading of the motorcycles after we picked them up from the dealer, an overview of their features, first ride, what's new for 2020, quick specifications, and our review and impressions of the bikes.
This channel is all about motorcycles, but...
Decco Ranch raises grass hay, cutting bred APHA registered Paint horses, Queensland Heelers, farm fresh chicken eggs and duck eggs, and with an AQHA cutting stallion by High Brow Cat at stud. We use quads to help get around and perform tasks on the ranch, and ride motorcycles (iron horses) for the fun factor.
Want to see more bike or quad videos from Decco Ranch? Leave a comment and tell us!
The name of the channel will be changing soon from Sal At Decco Ranch to @mcSal. It will happen when UA-cam is ready to roll out the new handles.

I,m a 55 year old male. I,m new to ridindg on kinda slim,and not strong but i like this bike. I,m waiting to start my first basic motorcycle safety coarse. I really liked you took the time to explain the function of the rebel 500. I,m looking for a new hobby. And i am some what scared and afraid. Thank you so much for putting me at ease.Enjoy your Bikes.Thanks Again.
thank you! Glad to help! Everyone will tell you the Rebel 500 is a great bike for beginners, as well as intermediate. It is sooooo easy and light weight. The MSF course will make you feel so much better about riding! You'll be ready to get a bike and start practicing in low traffic areas first, then work up to higher traffic areas when you're comfortable. Good luck with your riding!
Finally. Fin-al-ly. A detailed video going over everything that matters about the bike. So sick of watching four random "watch me ride the bike" videos with no detailed spec explanations. Thank you.
Thank you! You might want to check out my headlight test of the new Rebel 500's LED headlight vs other bikes and vehicles. The results totally surprised me, so they may surprise you, too.
I absolutely agree, call me sold
@@Andrew-hs8ri Because of this video I actually went out and bought a 2020 Rebel500 in denim blue. Thank you Sal!
@@mcSal Because of this video I actually went out and bought a 2020 Rebel500 in denim blue. Thank you Sal!
Dean Coulstock Thank you and Congratulations! Do you love your purchase? Isn’t it a fun and easy bike to ride?
I'm looking to purchase my first motorcycle in 30 yrs and I love this one! and what you guys did to them!!!
Thank you! We love these bikes!! Wish you luck and ride safe!
Rebel 250 is the best selling motorcycle here in Japan this year.
for 35 years
There's a reason Honda is #1 selling for so long. They're great bikes!
Thank you for the excellent review! I've watched about every Rebel 500 video on YT in anticipation of getting one of them. I have decided on the 2020 as well because of the improvements. My only concern has been the mid controls. I'm used to a much bigger bike with forward controls and I liked it. I'm only 5'6" though, so the mid controls shouldn't be a problem for me. I'm 50 now and not a big guy, so I'm ready for a lighter, easier to handle, fun bike. The 500 rebel seems like a perfect fit.
You can do like we did and add the forward controls just for cruising. We added them to the crash bars.
Great video , thanks . How much for the extras per bike ?
Ride Safe
@@brettwicks2615 I can’t remember exactly, but I think all the add-ons installed per bike were somewhere around $1,100.
I had a Honda Rebel 250 way back. I am dying to get on one of these new 500 cc 2020 bikes. Great bikes and fun to ride.
Great job. You did a much better review than many of the so called moto journalists! Appreciate the crystal clear audio.
Thank you!
Love pulling hills with mine. Twist the grip the bike says “yes sir!”.
Nice report, guys! Honda has finally improved what buyers previously didn't like so much. And I must say, in this shape the Rebel is much more appreciated than last year's model! Fine bike and an enjoyable report from you!
N. A. McBee Thank you!
Great video. I got back into riding after 30 years this spring and picked up an old Rebel 250 to see if I really wanted to do this. Fast forward a couple months and the 250 has a buddy now. 2021 Rebel 500 ABS. Believe the hype, folks. These bikes are awesome. The big tires really grab the road and the clutch/shift is so smooth. Add in just over 400 pounds curb weight, once you take off you'll never want to turn it toward the house! And 4-ways! It has 4-ways, not that you'll ever need them! Ride safe out there.
Thank you! Great story! I’ve had the Rebel 500’s for 15 months, and they’re really great bikes. You said it well. Ride safe!
Hi, how feels the 500 weight after been riding the 250? It is the 500 a little more difficul to handle? Thankyou so much for your answer. And sorry for my english.
@@raulantonioperezortiz1118 The curb weight is only 100ish pounds more. I noticed it the first couple days but the bike is so nimble while riding it is still very controllable. The biggest change was going from the forward peg of the 250 to mid peg foot position on the 500, but the more upright seated body position I realized is more comfortable for me.
@@Imiss70sTV muchas gracias.. 🙏 hi from Guanajuato México ✌️
The new lights are awesome. The bike manages to look modern but still not too futuristic. Nice bikes!
I’m sorry sorry 😐 I didn’t want even
I’m sorry
I have a 2009 Honda Rebel atm and as soon as I saw this one I'm going to trade mine in. It's a gorgeous looking bike.
The redesign of the Rebel started in 2017 and if you check Cycletrader there's still a few 17's new that's at a real good price.
@@scottfree9994 I really like the LED lights so I bought the 2020 this morning 😁
@@whataburgerwithadrpepper4576 Awesome Jake! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
@@mcSal thanks! I got the blue one and boy it is prettier in person.
awesome review! I'm glad to hear from a different perspective on bikes as YT seems to be filled with motovloggers with similar approaches. Im a bit envious of your ranch lifestyle too :) Living in San Francisco and in urban setting makes you yearn for more nature and open space. Ride safe!
L C Thank you! I am thankful for the ranch. Mother Nature rules out here. I totally understand your sentiment. Stay safe!
Great unboxing! Surprised the youngsters hung around that long before zooming off, nice to see the 2020 upgrades first hand, all our dealers are still shut over the pond till June 1st.
Thanks! We were very happy that our dealer was still open. June 1 is here!
Thank you for this video Sal! You pretty much helped answer every question I had. I wanted to see all the colors, and now I'm totally it love with the blue!! And I wanted a review on those very same viking saddle bags too :') !! Thank you!! Really nice family time you have here, it's family goals! (Ps. You just got to be careful of all that loose gravel on your roads.)
If anyone is concerned about the viking bags being real leather, or vinyl, ether due to weather damage or if you're vegan, it's neither! "Viking leather (technical leather) is a high durability, leather-like material. It is designed specifically for the outdoors and for automotive applications, with a high level of utilization and element resistance. Not only is Viking Leather much more durable, it looks 100% like real leather. It will never fade or discolor. It has no soft material backing and no die color coating (won't peel like vinyl). It wont scratch. Viking Leather can only be distinguished from real leather by touch and smell, never by appearance."
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Great info on the saddlebags. And yes, I've felt the gravel give under the tires, so I'm very careful and take it slow through there.
Thank you for the information!
So envy of you...We don’t even have it in my country....yet...Hopefully by year end...Ride safe!
Hope you get it soon. Thank you. Ride safe.
Sal at Decco Ranch It has landed our shores finally! Yep that’s in Singapore dollars! (excl insurance)
Cool find: Honda CMX500 Rebel (BRAND NEW AGENT MODEL) for S$21,250 sg.carousell.com/p/1017244177
Thank you for posting love the new upgrades to the display now showing gears and the new headlights; Honda must've gave y'all deals since you went with all colors. Blue looks great
Thank you! Yes, they did give me a deal for all three, plus the upgrades. I was glad I could pick them all up in one day so everyone was happy. Thanks to NorCal MotorSports in Sacramento, California. They were Awesome to deal with!
@@mcSal
You should check out the new cross stitch seat and headlight cowl that they [Honda] now offers for the Rebel models. The headlight cowl really makes the aesthetics of the bike stand out more. Matte blue for the win! Honda should offer more matte colors like desert tan, red, and deep purple.
Hey there, love the review! Where did you get your crash guards? My Rebel gets here Saturday, super pumped. Thanks
Matt McColm NorCal MotorSports in Sacramento, California ordered them for me. Sorry, but I just now saw your message. You should have your bike by now. What do you think of it?
@@mcSal oh... NorCal Motorsports eh... Well I'm going to have to head over there in the next week or so to check it out (in EDH) . Ive been itching for a Rebel 500 for a while now and this might have pushed me over the edge....err in a good way. Loved the vid and thanks for sharing.
Nice!! I just bought 3 Rebel 1100s. Nice bikes!
Good choice! Three bikes isn't crazy after all, right? Which did you get, the DCT or Manual? I just bought an 1100, too! Just did a comparison video with the 500. Woohoo!
Just ordered a 2020 Rebel 500 ABS Special edition over here in West Yorkshire England , cant wait for her/him to arrive ..
You're going to have fun!
I love the enthusiasm.While I have a fancy German touring bike, I have tons of fun on simpler and smaller bikes. I often ride my scooter over the big bike. Just love being on 2 wheels and I don't get caught up in one upmanship. Enjoy. Ride safe.
Thank you! It's just fun to get out and ride, right? Doesn't matter what size bike. It's just a lot of fun.
After watching your review on the Hellfire fairing, we fitted ones to our new 2022 Rebel 500’s
Well, they are awesome , my husband did make brackets for the lower part of the fairing to clamp onto the shocks. Thanks for a great review! 👍🏻💕
Thank you! I also put that same windshield on both of my Rebel 1100’s. I have clamped just to the bars, and also did bars and forks on one. Seems to work equally well, but with less movement on the double clamped one. I’m glad it’s working out well for you! Ride safe. 👍🏼
Just so you know, that's not a little level. That's your brake reservoir with the checking level of brake fluid. Have fun and be safe...
Lol. Thanks. I've been tagged many times over on that. My own daughter in law got me on it about an hour after it was published. I'll probably never live it down.
Awesome! Can’t wait to get mine!
Hope you get one soon!
Sal at Decco Ranch I got the denim blue and love it!
@@adrianramos137 Great choice! Ride safe.
Sal at Decco Ranch thank you!!
It's a wise decision to wait for the 2020 model in my opinion. The previous version is good, but we have some really good upgrades for the new version. Overall, it's a really good choice you made there.
Thank you! Good to hear.
You really went for it, three bikes at once.
Really great video with sympathetic people, hope you'll enjoy your Rebels and go on a trip or two together with them. 👍
Thank you! We all had our first road trip together yesterday. Lots of fun!
Black is absolutely a beauty! Looks so nice with those saddle bags.
Rey Samson I love the saddle bags on the black bike, too.
Great video !!! Bikes are great, but man... ALL THAT LAND YOU GUYS HAVE, wow !!!
Thank you! Yep, this land is paradise out here.
Beautiful bikes. The black one is my favorite.
The black is a very shiny black. All 3 colors were favorites for different people in our family. 👍
Glad to see the 2020 version of the Rebel has the LED lights now when I buy my first bike that is definitely a yacht decision-maker because I'd like to see down the road and not just my brights on but my regular beans soaked I'm glad the look has definitely changed and I might even when I buy my first bike get the saddlebags because I travel to the store a lot and it'd be nice to have something to carry even a little bit of groceries in so thank you for the update and even though I wanted to do the beginner Rider course this year I'm putting it off one more year to make sure that I will be able to take the class due to the covid-19
@David Shore Be aware the new LED headlights are super bright and visible to others, but don't shine very far down the road. The brights go straight down the middle of the road to increase distance, but you still won't see a lot on the sides. Check out my headlight test video that compares the new LED headlight with our other bikes and vehicles. ua-cam.com/video/Nrnn4D5ye_w/v-deo.html
Im taking my test in a week and have been going back and forth on which bike to get. Watching this has definitely solidified my decision.
Good luck on your test! And when you do get your bike, ride safe.
I road quads too and now learning on a 02 Yamaha Vstar 1100, so different but I love it. I really like the Honda Rebel so excited to see this video !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. A VStar 1100 is a big bike to start with! Ride safe.
@@mcSal It was my Husbands but he got a 06 Victory Vegas. It was tough at 1st he is taller than me by a lot. So he loves forward controls. Me not so much. I am actually doing well on it and already ride by myself in our city :) I want my own wheels that I pick and I just Love the way the new Rebel looks!
@@stephysands Glad you’re out practicing. 5 months after getting them and I’m still very happy with the Rebel 500. I’m sure you would be, too. Ride safe.
I bet that dealer was happy for the sale.
Yep. They were pretty happy.
@@mcSal dealer gave you guys discount buying three bikes all the same time.
@@iMotoTactic00L Yes, they worked with me. And I’m thankful they did. NorCal MotorSports in Sacramento, California.
I know nothing about motorcycles and learned so much! Excellent video content!!
Yay! Thank you!
Man, nice I love the blue jeans model, looks good with saddle bags !
Thank you! The saddlebags have come in very handy, too. I'm so glad I got them.
This video was great, I hope you make more with this bike, I'm thinking about getting this bike when it arrives in Australia
Thank you. I posted our first group ride a couple of days ago with all 3 bikes. Next will be a comparison of headlight visibility at night, comparing the Rebel to a car, truck, my other two bikes (KTM 390 Duke and the little Honda Grom), and a ranch quad. Subscribe and Join so you get notified!
@@mcSal awesome I'll go watch it now, subscribed.
Cool deal. Congrats on the bike purchases! I have ridden since 1978 & I recently decided to pick up the last new Rebel 300 available in my area. I love it. So simple, lightweight & nimble. I like that it doesn’t have LED lights. I really think that people should know what gear they’re in.
If you got a 2020, they do have LED lights and gear indicators. You are right! They ARE simple, lightweight and nimble! Like you, I love riding the Honda Rebel!
@@mcSal No I bought the 2019 model. I didn’t want LED lights or the slipper assist clutch!
@@blkjakk I don't blame you on the LED lights. They are bright, but don't extend very far at all.
@@mcSal That’s what I was afraid of. Well it would be cool if someone who had both did a comparison of the headlight projection!
@@blkjakk I don’t have a LED version and non-LED version, but did do a headlight comparison video with the 2020 Rebel’s LED headlight. That’s how I know it’s not great.
I think that "level" that you referred to is actually the break fluid indicator window. It tells you if you have the right amount of break fluid in your front break. And one can see how clean or dark (old) your break fluid is.
Scott Balsai Yes, the instant I posted this review, my daughter in law Ninja laughed and corrected me, too.
I really appreciate the attention to details. I didnt know that 2020 andup comes with Gear indicator. I cant wait to upgrade to the 2021 Rebel 500 ABS Special Edition. Im extremely happy with my 2018 Rebel 300 ABS!
I’m 14 and am looking for a 1st vehicle. I honestly think this’ll be my first bike mainly because it looks like a Harley, as you said it was stable and light, it’s under 10k for a brand new one, and it’s a smaller one so it’d be easy for me to learn on
I think it would be a wonderful first bike!
Great video! Have been searching for a comparison video like this for at least 2 weeks!
Thank you! Great to hear!
Appreciate your honest review! Nice bikes.
Thank you! After having the bikes since last spring, we still love riding them!
I own the 2019 Matt black one. I hope we can get that new display aftermarket for our 19's. I was hoping they made the gearing a little taller on the 2020. That's what I'm going to have to do to mine. She rev-ing pretty high at 70 to 75 on the highway which is fine for short highway trips, but if you got a 20 min drive to work it needs another tooth in the front sprocket to get that rpm down 500 to 1000 while cruising.
Good to know. I wish the dash had a white background with dark letters like the KTM's, instead of a dark background with white letters. Maybe some day Honda will make some of these changes.
Gorgeous Sal. Great vid!!
Thank you!
I loved your video! I'm planning on getting the 500 as a beginner bike and your video was extremely helpful. I was wondering how tall you are so I could estimate if my feet could reach the ground or not. For reference, I'm a 4'9" very short legged woman. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm 5'4", but Vi is 4'10" and can flat foot the Rebel. We tried to start her on the Grom, but it has 30" seats and she was on her tippy toes. So we started her on the Rebel with 27.2" seats where she was more comfortable. I'm guessing the Rebel would be a good fit. If not, there are other cruisers with lower seat height.
Aww you’re sooo tiny, buy a tricycle with a motor. lol jk
There is a site called "cycle ergo" that should help you find out what fits your body type.
Great review, looking to get my first bike I was trying to decide between the Kawasaki Vulcan S or the Honda Rebel 500 I am going to go with the 2020 Rebel 500 just like the features, just looks like it would be the perfect bike to start out with
Thank you! Either bike would be a great choice. I agree that the Rebel has some really nice features for its price. I'm happy I got them.
forget about kawasaki. honda will last forever , and this new model is a perfect machine. unless you are 6.2``tall.
Great 2020 Rebel’s review video. Can you post a more details walk-around video.
Thx
Thank you! Maybe the next video can be close up shots of different parts.
i have also that bike now verry cool amazing to ride.
Great 👍
Excellent description of the bikes, really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Really great vid! Wonderful seeing people on bike delivery day, seeing 3 on bike delivery is even better!
A good exhaust option if you want to upgrade is the Lextech, sounds awesome and really good value. There's also a different seat in some markets that has a nice stitching on it, might be able to get online but think you'd like.
Thank you! It was a fun and exciting day when the 3 bikes came home. Thanks for the tips! I am starting to do mods on all 3 Rebels, which includes the two that are with my daughter and her family. Looking up the Lextek exhaust now.
@@mcSal must be fun all riding out together too on the same bikes, like your own little mc 😎 there's a vid on my page if you wanted to hear what the lex tech is like. I think it sounds great, though I havent heard a lot of other options on it.
@@TommyBarnezTV You have a cool channel! I saw the Black Widow exhaust review (great vid), but couldn't find the LexTek. Can you share the link? Thanks.
@@TommyBarnezTV And yes, it is fun when we get all three Rebels out together. We have our own Decco Motorcycle Club. Lol
@@mcSal thanks :)

Very good review. Thank you. I am going to get the blue
Thank you. You will love the blue. It's gorgeous.
Beginners bikes are scooters you are on a rebel 💥
You are correct. The Rebel is listed as a beginner to immediate bike.
Fenomenal, thanks for sharing. I plan to get one soon, good luck and have a blast with it!
Thanks, you too!
Love it...First i thougt,you had winning the Lottery :) You made a Honda dealer very glad..3 bikes..wow..I am a learner too, on a Honda shadow ace 1999 750...Hoping to take the License this summer..subbed!!

Thank you! We're already having fun with them all.
Nice review and first ride test. You earned my SUBS 👏👏👏
Nil Zensei Thank you!
The weather looks awesome there, perfect for motorbikes,
Yes, it was a beautiful day in sunny California.
Honda should offer a 750 and 11-1200 version with forward controls!
Yes!!! I would buy one.
Honda Shadow 750 already exists. Honda Rebel 1100 Comes out next month.
Thanks for that amazing Video & description, Sal.
Glad you liked it!
@@mcSal I’m 6’ tall, would I enjoy this bike?
@@SamTravels You may feel a bit cramped due to the low seat height and mid pegs. But... You will need to sit on it with a leg on a peg to really know if you would fit it or not.
@@SamTravels It is a very easy and enjoyable bike!
Are there any options you didn't choose?
This was amazing to watch. So much fun to ride with others, especially it two other Rebels.
Teesh Lallipop Thank you. We didn’t get a windshield. Always an option, right?
@@mcSal Naked looks better I think. That's great it'll be my first bike but I'm buying toward the winter.
The Rebel is a perfect first bike.
Can confirm.....although I have a 2017 model
Might put them bags on my '18 Great Review :)
Thank you! I'm glad you got to see the bikes with the bags.
I have the 2019 one, and actually like it more with out the led lights and the new speedometer.
Im used to the previous Rebel 250cc that didnt had any of it eheh, altough every one talks bad about the seat, i made long travels and didn´t had any problem but!, it could be better.
My only issues with the Rebel is the passanger seat design was poorly made or they just put it there so say meh ... lets make it so some one can ride with it and, the exaust shape is just horrible that bazzoka shape, i rl would like them to chanse to something more appeling to the eye but with the same sound cuz it is ok ...
Have nice rides every one!
One of our group had a passenger actually ride behind on the new black Rebel 500, and she said she felt every bump. So... guess the passenger seat is still not as good as it could be.
Great review! I will buy it too, matt black color. Thx a lot!
Kyungtae Kim Glad you liked it!
I've shod mine with Avon Cobra Chrome tyres and it is even more stable in the curves :)
Wow what a wonderful review thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Awesome review! Definitely will go for the 2020 version.
Did you get one yet?
Check out Corbin motorcycle seats for the rebel. In terms of comfort, there is no comparison at all. Gosh, to think that I know a movie star
Lol. Hi, Bill! I have no problem with the new Rebel seat. The passenger seat is not great, though. I didn't know you knew about bikes! Yay!
Great that your dog is also having a good look at the bike..I hope he won't pee on it 😆😆🐕
Nope. The dog was good..... so far. Lol
Thanks for the video
Glad you liked it!
love it....... now i just need to get a bike license then a rebel
All in time...!
Hi Sal, could you please share details on front pegs and saddle bags, make and model. Thank you!
The saddle bags can be purchased from VikingBags.com. I'm not sure which model, but they are lockable. The saddlebags have held up well. The highway pegs are from Kuryakyn and can be purchased from RevZilla.com. Of the three Rebel 500's with the highway pegs, both of my daughter's bikes have had the right peg blow off while out riding, leaving the peg framework. If I could do it all over again, I would get the saddle bags, but not the highway pegs.
@@mcSal Thank you!
17:08 Dem sneaky little legs under the front wheel! LOL
Lol. That was Spring wanting attention.
I like the blue one too !
“Sticky out” I like it! Lol good video
Thanks!
Nice sound!
Hi, would it be possible for you to do a video on how bright the lights are in the night? I wanna see how those new LEDs do.
I typically drive in a place where it's basically countryside roads everywhere (similar to your neighborhood) and it is very dark in the night. I already have an idea on how dim were the lights on the previous rebel models, I just need to see how those LEDs do in your environment (e.g. how well does the headlight do, how far can the turn signal/brake lights can be seen from the dark, if possible how well do those LEDs do in typical city night environment, etc.). If those LEDs are better, I'll also buy the 2020 rebels in the next months.
Absolutely! I'll test the lights at night with marked off distances and post it when I'm done.
You guys are lucky. There are no more honda rebel 2019/20 here in Nebraska even within 200 miles radius.
TheBsbk1 Wow! Why is that?
@@mcSal I guess they are just really popular and lot of dealerships are having inventory issues due to Covid i guess.
@@TheBsbk1 Bummer! Let’s hope you find one soon.
can i move in ? :P
Good idea!
Hi Sal, looking to purchase my first bike and your videos sold me on the Rebel 500, I love the saddle bags, do you have a link for them by any chance? Thanks
Yay! Go to VikingBags.com to see their selection. Here is a link to the non-studded bags (on two of the bikes). The studded bag (on one of the bikes) is $10 more. www.vikingbags.com/honda-rebel-500-spear-shock-cutout-motorcycle-saddlebags
love the dog
Sweeet motorcycles thanks for sharing your review about this bike
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. G'day from Australia 👍
Thank you! Hello from California, USA.
I heard no mention of the saddle bag model. They appear to be Viking Bags. Also, are they mounted with quick release? Throw over? Also, the bag is too big for the passenger. I put on the shock cut out large and there is only small room for the passenger heal on the pegs. That will not be comfortable for a long ride. I see the same on your video. I returned my bags for Odin Medium (which i haven't received yet). These medium bags have more room between the bag side and the passenger foot peg.
Yes, they are Viking bags. Passengers have ridden on some of these bikes, but their primary complaint is with the passenger seat and feeling every bump in the road. The saddlebags have not been part of their complaints. But I'm sure that would vary between passengers.
I'm considering the 2020 rebel 500 because of the improvements. I want the blue like yours, not sure if i'll bother with the ABS though.
For beginner riders I recommend getting abs. If you are a seasoned rider then you presumably have alot of practice breaking at higher speeds.
Which ever one you choose, ride safe and have fun!
is this the honda rebel 500 and what colors are available:)
congratulations with your bikes, imo it's really cool that you can ride as a fam. be safe:)
ps: those "cruiser pedals" are so cool.
Yes, they are the 2020 Honda Rebel 500's! Thank you! The three colors for 2020 are all shown together in the video: matte blue jeans metallic, graphite black and matte armored silver. So... they're blue, black and silver.
@@mcSal haha I know;)
@@mrtalky460 lol
Great video! Hope you are still liking your bikes. Maybe it’d be good to do a follow up if you haven’t already done so.
Good idea! Even though we have a lot of other bikes now, we still love our Rebel 500's. They are like the Mary Poppins of bikes.... practically perfect in every way for what they are.
Sal, Doug here, I spotted your response to my question, when you got the "driving/fog lights"on your Rebels, I asked what type of saddle bags did you get for your Rebels,AND, I boosted your ego by "ACCUSING you of being "29"? or "32"? In that video. I saw late last night but couldn't pull it up-too tired to get it on my screen. Lost it the next morning. Could you please resend me that text response again? Doug🏍️❤️👍🤓🐻
Lol. Doug, they are Viking saddlebags. You can look them up on VikingBags.com. Yeah, I won’t forget you with your comment. 😂
Great video and review. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great review! My fiancé just got the blue 500 for me! Could you please list the crash bar/engine guard and chrome foot peg information? I need to add some mods to my new blue baby.
I don't know the info on the crash bars, engine guards and freeway pegs. They were ordered and installed by the dealer. I can try to find out. I do know that the saddle bags are made by Viking (vikingbags.com). You will love your new Rebel! Ride safe!
Sal at Decco Ranch what is the name of you dealership? Perhaps I could contact them and inquire about the mods you purchased or at least the mods they offer.

hello there! i will soon get the blue version, is awesome. i give you an advice, buy a windshield. it will let you go faster with no pain in your chest. and by the way your review was the best i have seen on youtube about this new model, ride safe:)
Thank you! The blue is a great color. The shade of blue changes depending on the lighting. I've been thinking about a windshield. The wind definitely pushes on your body when traveling fast.
I like this motorbike too, but it is more expensive to buy from local dealers in east China, more than 10 thousand USD.
Wow! Same as Indonesia. I'm sorry.
Love the blue
We agree!
I think by far the best review on 2020 rebel 500s. I’m also thinking to get them for me and my friend. Have you had any discount from the dealer when buying multiple? I know a dealer without a dealer markup fees and I wonder if we could get the discount from there. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! Yes, we did get a discount. We purchased out of Sacramento, California from NorCal MotorSports. Where are you?
@Sal at Decco Ranch
thanks for the reply! I live in Los Angeles and a dealership located at Poway sells motorcycles without the dear markup fees which I believe it’s still great deal but it’s always better to spend less right? Haha
@@Ryo517s Yep. Did you get your bikes, yet?
nice explanations !! i may buy it soon....
Thank you! Whichever bike you buy, I wish you much enjoyment and ride safe.
Nice cow dogs. Mines got his tail
Brizzle412 Thanks! I have both... some with tails and some docked.
This is wholesome
It's a family thing.
nice bikes..if want to make your rebels more badass try to check DIABLO accessories and exhaust..its made in thailand and famous here in asia for rebel accessories..👍😁
Thank you. We’ll check it out.
poor dogs not getting any attention
Excelent review 👍
Thank you!
5 months late, but congratulations on your new Rides.. Just the Honda badging is enough to make these motorcycles desirable... ;)
ANTHONY REBEL RL Thank you! These bikes put a smile on our faces.
They surely should make you smile for many years to come.. In my country, the Rebels hasn't been launched yet.. I would love to try my hands on the 500
ANTHONY REBEL RL What country are you in?
India.. And Harley Davidson just pulled out its operations from the country.. Very bad time for international bike companies in my country.. Looks like my Harley Davidson Street 750 will be without a service centre...
ANTHONY REBEL RL Very sorry to hear about HD operations. Greetings from sunny California, USA. Ride safe on your HD.
