How Fast IS The New Honda Rebel 300?!?! Top Speed, Highway Capabilities, and More!

- There's lots of discussion around just how capable the new Honda Rebel 300 really is, so I decided to make a video weighing in! See first-person as the 2017 Honda Rebel 300 is taken on the highway and taken up to its top speed. Complete with commentary, speedometer reading, and a bike walk-around with a TBR exhaust sound check, this should hopefully help people with their decision to buy what I'd consider the best beginner's bike! Let me know what you think!
Bike Walk Around- 1:30
Highway Ride Along- 2:43

Really annoyed with people making fun of a 300, it's more than enough power unless you're a speed junkie you don't need it
I agree! Not the fastest bike ever, but to be honest it’s more fun than my 750 sometimes!
im even afraid of 150 :D
It's a perfect beginner bike to build confidence
@colonel sanders
Why do you need to "get around cars" at 80 mph? With such a small displacement (CCs), you should stay in the right lane while maintaining the slow lane speed (55mph). What's your hurry? If you're a beginner rider, you shouldn't be on the highway in the first place.
@@LifeOfBurch
Why do some people worry about "how fast" a beginner bike is? Speed is not your concern as a newbie. The fundamentals of clutch/throttle control and the overall mechanics (weight, lean angles, brakes) of a bike should be your concern.
Going to be my first bike. I was so set on the 500 but after seeing this video I'm going for the 300 since its cheaper and I'll feel more comfortable with the investment.
Nice man! Both bikes are great options, but the 300 is definitely easier to find at a cheaper price. Make sure to check out the rest of my channel if you haven’t yet. Just a couple weeks ago I got a Rebel 500 and have tons of content on the way, including some 300 vs 500 comparisons!
And how do you like it?
did you get it? what's the top speed?
Hey ray did you end up getting your rebel?
DONT GET THE 300 if you can AFFORD the 500... TRUST ME OR US.... You WILL outgrow it quickly...
2nd season . 10k miles later , love this bike . Does what it needs to do if you’re not racing. Top speed 89-90mph . This girl holds her own
“Random guy”... “so right here I point at my mirrors” 😂
"This is just a quick video of ME..."
@@andrewcooper8155 he was playing the character
seeing it ridden first person was the best way to know what to expect. Great video!
Thanks man! 🙏🏻 I also just bought a Rebel 500, so make sure to check out the videos I’ve been doing with that and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out on all the videos I have coming up!
I use my 2019 rebel 500 for city use and some highway to post speed limit only. I wanted a low weight easy to maneuver bike for city use. I love these rebels for that, thank you for video
I'm seriously considering picking one of these up! Thanks for the great video!
Really like how UA-cam recommends these older Burch videos lol.
These videos did make me want to get a Rebel 300 before I had a Rebel 250 though.
Nice video! Planning to buy this bike, and your video was extremely helpful!
Frank Wang glad I could help man! You’ll love the bike!
I definitely want a rebel 300, it seems like the perfect bike for me, comfortable and easy to ride. I was hoping to spring on it this year but having been put out of work for over a month I have other things to put money into. I do hope that with a bit of smart saving I can get a previous model year next winter/early spring when the new stock arrives and old gets discounted. Great video.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to also check out my newer videos about my Rebel 500 I just bought, and subscribe if you haven’t already and want to see more Rebel content! It sounds like you’re doing the smart thing by not buying right now. And when you do end up buying, I really recommend buying used! You’ll save so much money that way if you’re patient and wait to find a good deal. I bought the Rebel 300 in this video for only $2,000 on Facebook marketplace. Even after all the mods I put into it, plus all the tax/tag/title fees, I still saved sooo much money versus buying old stock from a dealer. Good luck on your search! You’ll find the right bike when the timing is right! 🙏🏻
random guy lol!! great video.
gmodesike haha thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
We all know the random guy cuff cuff
@@gauchowest8081 Especially when he refer to as in the 1st person.
Every info I was looking for. Great video thanks !
I ride a Vulcan 500 and it can do 100ish, but I rarely like to go above 80mph anyway. Too much wind and it's just not as pleasant at that speed. 65-70mph is really a comfortable speed for cruising. For 5-6k this is really a great motorcycle. Got pretty good tech and the same frame/suspension as the 500.
I’m planning on getting this for my first bike next year. I plan to ride it to work I work in construction so I’m always on the expressway going from house to house. So it’s definitely nice knowing it can handle it and plus it’s a Honda so basically indestructible motors.
Exactly, you can’t beat the Honda reliability! Make sure to check out my other videos if you’re interested in the Rebel. I now have a Rebel 500 and have lots of videos on that!
Burch, I just want to say.. this video is still useful and fantastic. Watching this 4 years after release, and it's also like the top result for "Rebel 300 top speed" lol
My buddy's girlfriend had one she let me ride one day. Those big ol tires definitely make the bike feel planted in the corners. Boost confidence in new riders 👌
Hi everyone, I know this is an older video but for any newbie that just saw this video like myself I just want to say it is a great starter bike if you are looking to start riding. I currently ride an older 250cc and had to ride the 300cc in the motorcycle safety course the past 2 days ago to help bypass the dmv riding test. I'm 5' 2" and I can flat foot it while sitting. It is a tad bit heavier than my 250cc but once I started riding it, I found it has more power and is fun to ride with it's new body size and shape. I've only been able to ride up to 2nd gear only in class so I can't really say how them other gears compare the real power it has to my bike. I also like how the gears are now set under you like none cruiser bikes unlike my 250cc, it is forward a little cuz I guess it is set like that because it's supposed to be a cruiser bike so you can't stand up incase of a bump or running something over unless you pull yourself up from the handlebars. Anyways just with the 2 days of riding it in class, I might just upgrade to the 300 or 500 when I get the chance. I was reading up alot from the differences of the 250cc and the 300cc and was afraid with the higher seat & heavier weight I might have an issue but I actually like the bike and have no issues with riding for a short guy and a beginner. There were females my hight and taller riding as well there on the rebels as the bike that they had to learn on as beginners never had any motorcycle riding experience. In short this bike is used as a 1st timer bike to teach new riders in the motorcycle riding safety course here in California how to ride. I think that says it all if you are looking to get started in riding.
Im in the market for a honda rebel 300..After watching this video i have much more of an understanding of the way it rides on the highway.
Thanks for the help! I narrowed it down originally from a Ninja to Rebel 300. I have decided as soon as the weather breaks to buy a 300, I'm kinda shorter (5'5) I'm not trying to speed or do anything too crazy. I wanna take it slow and I feel like this would be a perfect beginners bike. I subbed thank you for this :)
Ynot_44 glad I could help, and I think you’re going to love the Rebel as a first bike! I honestly wish this had been around when I first started riding. It may even be smart for you to start looking for bikes now. Lots of them are cheaper than usual because not many people are buying bikes in the winter, plus the new 2020 bikes are about to release so dealers need to get rid of old 2019 stock! Oh, and thanks for subscribing! 🙏🏻
SynthVVaVVe Did you get this bike? I’m 5’1 and I just got this bike last week, it fits great and feels very comfortable. It’s a great bike. I got mine from a person that only put 500 miles on it. It’s a 2019 with ABS and I bought it off of Craigslist and paid $3,780 for it in mint condition. Keep looking on Craigslist, there’s someone out there probably looking to upgrade. GL
@@craftsbypwilli2664 thank you! Sadly I didn't yet because the dealerships hours are shorter now due to Covid and I work the same hours of operation and theyre not opened on weekends, but Craigslist should do! Thank you and enjoy your bike
I rode a rebal 300 for my MSF course at 6'2 280lb. passed. was the first bike i ever rode and i wont forget even when im on my Ducati
Thank you for your videos brother!!
straight to the point! love it
Great first bike. Probably not the best bike if you're commuting on the freeway everyday. But if you're just learning this is a very nice choice.
"So I found some random guy" later on "...so here I am getting in the highway". Loved it! 🤣🤣🤣
Mine still has stock exhaust and the fastest I've ever been is 94. That was downhill and I only had 1 and a have quarts of oil instead of the full 2 quarts.
Being a brand new rider at the age of 57 my Honda Rebel 300cc has given me a lot a confidence my husband who has been riding since the 70s rides beside me with his Harley Sportster and he is harder on me than the coaches where at the Harley Davidson Riding Academy, yes he said I have improved on keeping up on the speed limit my turns are getting better,, but not quite ready to get on I-695 yet or any Interstate more practice, as a matter of fact when I bought my motorcycle my husband drove it home for me because we had to take it up on the beltway I-695 and he had that little Rebel up to 70 miles a hour as I know because I followed behind him in my car 🚗 so that Honda Rebel 300cc of mine can move,, he was telling me you half to wine the gears all the way out to get up to the speed and there's no problem,,👍🏻 love my Honda Rebel.
Good video Birch!
Not bad for 300. 👍 is not shaking or vibrating. Thumps 👍
A special thanks out to random guy!😂🤣. Random guy, making it happen.
JustSomeGuy haha always! Any chance you’re related? JustSomeGuy and SomeRandomGuy? 😂🤷🏼♂️
Sources say,...Maybe!@@LifeOfBurch
This is exactly what I just bought just a motorcycle that can take me from my house to the metro station to get to work. Nothing crazy I’m a somewhat beginner rider 5’3 can put me feet flat on the floor and the motorcycle feels amazing. I’m yet to take it on the highway to see how it goes but I’m going in love with it. It looked huge and intimidating at first but I drove it home from the dealership and it was amazingly fun just have to shift a bit better
yah the rebel 300 is too much fun.
Its about the perfect mix of economy and speed.
I just bought the 2021 Honda Rebel 300cc three day's ago my first bike 🏍 and just got my certificate from the Harley Davidson safety course to get my M license, a course I had my husband drive it home from the dealership as you had to get on Interstate 695 I'm not quite ready to drive on the Interstate yet he has much more experience especially during rush hour and I followed behind in my car and he had that little bike up to 65 , 66 miles a hour no problem,, I have been driving it around the neighborhood while he drives with me on his Harley,, the Honda is a good little bike,, I'm glad I bought it,,
Only 1 cylinder but the sounds so good dude, I like it
It’s about as good as a single cylinder can sound! Just loud! I have another video on my channel specifically about this exhaust if you haven’t seen it yet.
That’s not bad at all for a 300cc Bike. It’s a perfect little commuter Bike. 👍👍
You said Raymond was going to be riding but at 2:47 in the video you say this is me getting on the highway to do a top speed run, lol!😉
David Parry I said it was me because the first person view is just so good that I got lost in the moment as if I was actually there while I recorded the voice over 👀
No snitches on my channel...
😂
Thank you for this video
Awesome video
Hey Burch! Really enjoying your videos. I'm an older rider who's coming back to riding after mostly dirt bikes in my 20's. Do you think I might do ok on a Honda Rebel 300? Not into being super fast, just enjoy riding and getting around town. Thanks, Robert.
I'd recommend a bigger engine if you want to do longer rides. Yes the 300 will do it.. but not comfortably and with the throttle wide open it will drink a tank of fuel pretty fast.
Great exhaust sound
Thinking this might be my first adult purchase... turning 19 this month... thanks for this video...💯
Ayyy do it! You won’t regret it! Thanks for watching, and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already- TONS of content on my new Rebel 500 is on the way, including some comparisons of the 300 vs 500! 👊🏻
Get the 500
Same, if only I knew how to drive In general 😑
I've never owned a motorcycle, I drive 40 miles to work. This looks like it would be fun to drive.
Just curious how it handles in window weather? Have you ridden it at the coast? Or through the mountains? Thanks!
I'm buying this can't wait to have my first bike.
soo I topped mine out at 85 on the highway and my handlebars were shaking, any idea why? off balance tire?
i would love to see you display how to take off rear light and replace with something better aftermarket with license plate on side mount or something
Gerald Torres if you want to donate money for the new light I’ll gladly do it! 😂 That’s on the list of things to do, but the money isn’t there for it right now unfortunately.
Sold. I kept going back and forth on the 300 and the 500 but I know what I want now. 300 it is. Keep up the videos! I like the bike a lot.
Alex Fowler awesome, I’m glad I could help your decision! Thanks for watching!
i too am pretty much convinced to buy the 300 instead of 500. the 500 tops out at around 105-107 so really you are paying 2k(for a 2018)more on the price for what? 22mph more? same frame, almost the same weight, 300 gets better mpg, tank is the same size, both are 6 speed, the torque is more on the 500 though(19 vs 33).
i do not see enough reason to shell out the extra money.
neonchez valid points! It all depends on your riding style. If you don’t need to be cruising on the highway all the time then the 300 could be just right for you.
I have a 300, get the 500, trust me.
@@darrylsmith5567 why is that? What's the difference?
I think im gonna buy this as my first bike
nickserio35 it’s an incredible choice for a first bike! Be sure to check out my channel and subscribe if you haven’t already, I have tons of content with my Rebel 500 that I just picked up, and I plan to do Rebel 300 vs Rebel 500 comparison videos soon too! 🤘🏻
Honestly same
@@LifeOfBurch I definitely love my Rebel 2019 500 get the bigger engine you will be happy! That extra power is nice when needed. ;) but still light weight wonderful city cruiser
I have a Wrangler. Its top speed is 100 mph. For me, driving 80 mph in the Wrangler, with the doors off and top down is a bit much, not to mention illegal. 80 mph on a motorcycle is plenty, besides...what's your hurry? Enjoy the ride!✌🏽👍🏽
Exactly 👍🏽
Thanks for the video I think I'm going to get the 2022 rebel 300 for myself on a 2 Lane road and a 1100 for myself and passenger to go up in the mountains enough power to not strain the transmission..
Going to get this as my first bike soon! (I have never rode a motorcycle before and fully expect to wipe out)
I think all single cylinder cycles have issues with buzz on mirrors. Thanks for sharing the 300 Rebel, seems like a good small beginner cycle.
I find that getting your wheels balanced helps on these small bikes too. It was still buzzy but much less after a balance
Burch! First time rider here that just got my license a couple weeks ago. I am really set on the rebel 500 but there aren’t any available at the local dealers. Do you think I should cave for the 300 or wait until a 500 becomes available?
Rebel 500 2019 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke. . Probably because two pistons balance out the combustion impulses better? Has very little vibration for me as you wondered in video about the mirrors.
@LifeofBurch what would u suggest for engine guards for the Rebel? Thx
I just bought one of these bad boys and I have to ride it from Florida to Michigan.
Good review
The Wakeup Call truth to be told thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
88 has me sold. As long as it can go the speed limit in most states I'm fine
Great video ..would love to see more of the 300 ..want to see a 500 with a 300 go though the gear's together... Would love to see how much different they are between them two...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Joe Breeding I’ve thought about doing something like that! I actually recently sold the 300 to my buddy, so I may have to rent a 500 from our local dealer and do a head-to-head comparison with him!
@@LifeOfBurch Go ahead and do it, I want to see the comparison too.
Sx p
I'm a commuter so I'm kind of thinking of downgrading my bike now to this bike. I liked the info. I just don't really like the solo seat because a backpack situation would be better suited laying on a seat than a fender.
Timothy Midkiff What do you ride now? I really think this is the perfect commuter bike, but if you’re coming from something much more powerful it may feel a little lacking at first. You can get a separate passenger seat straight from Honda or there are aftermarket 2-person seats that could fit the bill and change the look some.
@@LifeOfBurch I've got a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. I would like to get away from the dual carburetor setup for the EFI. It runs perfect has 45-46 HP but it tops out at 55mpg. I don't really need a fast or very powerful bike for the riding I do. If this gets 70ish mpg I think I'll downgrade to it for the type of riding I do.
Timothy Midkiff Sounds like the 300 could be just right for you then! I’ve never ridden a Vulcan 500, but I’d imagine the Rebel will be much much lighter and more maneuverable as well. I think you’ll be pleased!
I'd like to have one just to zip around on. Ive been riding big twin Harley's for 20 years. But the saying is true...it's more fun to ride a small slow bike fast and hard 👍
It's just fun too ride any bike. Fast or slow.
Sounds good!
Really nice video. I’m currently taking my license and looking to buy a good beginner bike. When I was in my teens I had several 50cc and loved it, but now 15 years later I’m looking to buy a good beginner bike. I’m 220 lbs and 6ft. Is the Rebel 300 adequate or would it feel underpowered and boring after a season? My bike would just be a weekend bike and once in a while commuter. Thanks guys!
I think the 300 would be underpowered honestly. The 500 is the perfect place to start, or even the 1100 if you have the money. The 1100 is great because you can start in rain mode which is about as powerful as the 500, if not less, and then work up once you’re comfortable. My channel has tons of videos on both the 500 and 1100 if you want to check them out!
- What app are you using to add that speedo in the video?
They give my 2015 Honda Rebel 250 a lot of grief for it's highway speeds too. I'm a small dude at buck and a half, five foot nuthin, so it moves me 65 mph all day, no prob.
Boom- what more could you need?! 🏍💨
what a great video.
great video great bike....👍👍👍👍👍
which exhaust are you using for rebl300? What is the cost?
I love all bikes. This would be a fun little backroad bike. If you're looking at a Janus , buy this instead! The sound with that pipe! 😂😂😂 I love it!
Three questions
What is the range in this bike particularly?
What's the mpg guesstimate with highway use?
Is it comfortable for longer trips maybe 1-3 hours
Wyatt Earth The tank holds 2.9 gallons and it’s rated at 71 mpg, meaning it ideally has just over a 200 mile range. I sold the bike, but I seem to remember actually filling up around 150-175 miles. I never let the gas light come on though. As for comfort, the stock seat is terrible. If you plan to ride for more than 30 minutes you HAVE to upgrade your seat unless you have a steel back. Once I replaced the seat I could do 1-3 hours cruising backroads no problem.
I have the Royal Enfield 350 which is about the same in terms of performance these bikes are fine as long as you're not going uphill into a headwind then you got a downshift to fifth gear and stay at 50
I'm trying to get this bike just for city driving to work and back 🔥
I take my 300 to Florida all the time and I have no issues keeping up with traffic.
Going to Florida from where if I may ask? I want to do a cross country from cali to Massachusetts but a little concern if the bike can make it
@@busyhandskast South Carolina. It’s definitely possible but make sure you lube up your chain every once in awhile.
Never really cared for small displacement bikes I commute on my bike right now, I’ve been riding for 29 years UNTIL my MT07 had an ignition issue that was under warranty, so I had to use my girlfriend’s ninja 300, well suffice it to say I stand corrected that little bike is more than capable and if you have your fundamentals down exceeds what you need. My mind is changed it was a blast ringing that things neck fr.
Nice Video. 👍
GalaticGoon thank you! 🙏🏻
My reaction when i realized you took my comute off of riva road. 😂 I drive that every day.
Haha no way! Small world!
@@LifeOfBurch Oh yeah! I cross that bay bridge every day for work. 🤙
I'm looking to get one of these as a commuter bike. I haven't ridden in years, and I commute 60 miles a day on the highway. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Well made video
I got up to 95 with wind blasting in front of me. Also you said the bike can’t accelerate to pass that can, but I could easily get past that with my rebel 300
2:42
What action camera you use? 🤔🤔
Anyways. Nice video quality 😍👍
Yo how do you put your speedometer on screen like that? What app do you use?
85 it’s already fast enough! I definitely want one
that's the top speed. Comfortable speed(not too windy, not shaking) is probably 65mph
So I was looking into buying a 2020 Honda rebel 300cc for $3500… And the worry I have is that I live about 25 miles out of town and the only way to get to my job is taking a country highway with the speed limit of 70 mph.. I watched another video and the guy was worried about going over 65 mph said the bike was screaming.. Would the 300cc be good to drive 70 mph for about 30 minutes.. I’m 5”6 and weigh about 125..
I’m in md off of 50 right now how is it on 50 and 301
Thank you for this video! Very good content. I like how this bike looks, but don’t know whether it can handle interstates where everyones like 80mph (i need to commute on interstates to work). Also im 240lbs
I wouldn’t recommend this bike in that scenario, but the Rebel 500 could handle it no problem! If you check out my channel you’ll see videos I’ve done on my 500. It’ll cruise at 80mph all day without issue whereas the 300 will be about maxed out at that speed. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
LifeOfBurch cool. I will be looking at either a new rebel or hd xg street as my first bike
The answer is, "no"
I am 260lb and I have topped my Rebel 300 out at 88 the same as this video shows. You will have no issues.
where'd you get the yellow headlight mod? is it just a tint?
It’s just a Lamin-X film! Looks cool, protects the headlight, and was only like $10. Check the Laminate-X site. They come pre-cut and everything.
Thanks
I made a choice for my birthday
What’s the mpg on it ??
Can you tell me the name of that exhaust..??
What is this speedo? Is it an app or product?
Thank you for this video. If you change your sprockets, you can get a higher top speed - with lower torque.
Can you make a video of smooth shifting
I heard it heats up really quick and it’s very hard on the engine even at 65 is that true? I want the 500 but I absolutely cannot afford it the best I can get is the rebel 300 vstar 250 or boulevard s40 any advice on which one I should get? I want the most reliable out of the bunch that can reliably and easily get up to Highway speeds without completely stressing out the bike
It’s a Honda maintain it and it will be fine
I'm about 5'11, 180-190lbs. thinking to use it for commuting. 70 miles total back and forth on the highway (55mph speed limit). Would you recommend it? Also, ABS, yes or no?
It’s quite a small bike, I’m 6ft and felt like a giant on it
the scene and environment by the highway is so beautiful. What city do you live?
the moon I’m in Annapolis, MD! It’s an awesome historic waterfront city that was actually the country’s first capital. Super cool place if you’re ever able to check it out!
You should get a stipend from Honda: you've sold me. I used to ride the previous version (250) from Annapolis to DC every day. I wish I'd had this bike instead.
I always wanted a Harley then Indian caught by attention but I got tired if waiting and this will be my first bike because the price is pretty damn decent lol
Hi I'm looking in in to saving up for a rebel for myself I'm 5ft3in and am not getting any taller do you think this is a good choice for me. Thanks
Owen Tyson I think it’s a great choice! You’ll feel right at home on the Rebel. Seat height is very low so you shouldn’t have any issues flat footing the bike at a stop. Some people have even rotated the handle bars slightly back to shorten the reach for more comfort as well. When in doubt, if you pop by any Honda motorcycle dealer they’ll be more than happy to let you sit on one to feel it out. Hope that helps!
Thx
I'm 5'6'' and my feet plant flat on the ground with room to spare. Very easy to mount and ride.
What seat is that? Do you have a link?
Michael Timmermeyer here’s the link for you- zeedparts.com/rebel-300-500/honda-rebel-cmx-300-500-replacement-seat-double-2pv1-noi
The seat is much more comfortable than the stock seat, however I did need to drill new mounting holes in the seat since it wouldn’t line up properly otherwise. Also worth noting, if you plan to use the passenger portion you’ll need the stock passenger seat bracket to make it work. Hope that helps!
Yah the bike does have a hard buzz even in 6th! It’s great through town the bike will easily rip! Change to the next gear 1- 6 at a low rpm it has torque and I found the higher gear was better. Doesn’t seem to have as much power when you really scream it up high. Low rpm torque monster! Except for 6th rip it as fast as you need to go.
太棒了，rebel 300将要在中国上市，看了你的视频，我将要买一台。
