Great video! I've had my 2019 300 since Feb 2022. I'm not a beginner.. Having a family and not a lot of free time, I just wanted something I could hop on and cruise around the neighborhood. I've done short 5-10 mile stints on highways from one town to the next at a comfortable 75mph (I could have gone faster). I'm just at the point in my life where speed isn't a priority. I don't need to be going 150mph on the highway, but that's just me. The bike is therapy for me... I get a ride in a few times a week to forget about work, bills and everything else and just get out there and have fun. I did convert it into a bobber, took off the rear fender, installed different brake lights and an LED strip light across the back bar of the seat. I also have a DanMoto Highwayman Slip-on Exhaust. It's a fun bike for beginners and also people who just want to cruise and have fun.
I took my course in 2018 failed but had my permit and would ride my Grom daily. Now I have to take the course again in May hopefully I pass. I just bought a Honda rebel 500 but still have my Grom. Thanks for the refresher.
GREAT video!!!! It's been a few years since I've had my own motorcycle and I'm looking for a Rebel 300. This is an AWESOME refresher or newbie video. Thank you so much for this! I will be doing all of your suggestions when I head to a parking lot near me. :) Stay safe out there.
I'm old and short and have trouble swinging a leg over and getting on just about all modern motorcycles so have been eyeballing the Honda Rebels 300 and 500. I went to a dealer today to check them both out. I was super impressed at how easy it was to swing my stiff sore old leg over the low rear of both bikes and rest my ass into the rock hard seats. Not sure about frame design likeness of the 2 Rebels but my legs seemed a bit more comfy on the 500 as was the handlebar reach. The handlebars were not to my liking but that can be fixed. My knees seemed quite high up on the 300 even with my short legs and i found myself having to lean a bit forward to grab the handlebars. Again the handlebar thing could be fixed but not so much the seat/footpeg relationship thing. But even with those issues the 500 was definitely doable but I am having trouble with them both being butt ugly motorcycles. The 300 was a little bit prettier with the red metallic paint but there is just so much flat black ugly crap and plastic on these bikes it would be a hard pill to swallow to have to ride one of these bikes. There was also a Kawaski Vulcan 650 sitting there I tried on for size as the seat height is actually a bit lower than the Rebels. But The Kawi has forward mounted footpegs and riding like that totally sucks... ( I use to have a Triumph with forward mounted pegs...never again) so IDK what I will do.
Thankful for all the tips in this video... especially the gas tank! Appreciate you saving me from the embarrassment of figuring that out at the pump. I'm considering a 300 for my first bike this summer. Happy riding!
The Rebel 1100 is a beast, the torque and acceleration speed is amazing. Though the bike is limited here in Europe and it cuts the throttle at 107 mp/h or 172 Km/h I love it because top speeds for me just don't mean anything. As long it can easily do highway speeds I'm fine with it and the with Reb 1100 you can easily cruise at 80 mp/h or 130 KM/h.
Good video.. Very low mileage used bikes, can be priced a little higher than MSRP, because the buyer avoids the shipping and handling and setup fees. These fees add another $1000 to the new purchase. Its not coming with the dealer backing though. Smart shopping is key. My wife wants the Rebel 300 for local tripping. She has a Harley 1200 for her highway trips.
Bruh, the steering column lock... had no idea, I always wondered at what ease it would be to jack someone's bike. Signed, new owner, receives back tomorrow
I'm going to be getting my first bike, probably within the next year, and with the research I've done the Rebel 300 is one I'm considering. I don't want to ride very fast, I just want a bike that I can take on the Interstate and be able to keep up with traffic and have enough power to get out of the way of other vehicles. Does the 300 have enough power to do that?
it's honestly a pretty slow bike great for beginners however I do think you can keep up with cars but it lacks the get-up-and-go speed. if I could I would have gone with the 500 for my first bike. good luck brotha
You're looking at hitting 60 mph only after the 600 mile break in period. Buy it used if you're not planning on putting in the break in miles. Without stretching that engine you're maybe maxing out around 42 mph good luck
Not sure what this guy is saying. I've got a 2018 Rebel 300 and I've been able to get up to 85mph on it with about 2k miles on it. It can easily go 70+ and keep up with cars on the interstate.
From 2020 forward, Honda changed the 300 and the 500: slipper assist clutch, upgraded shocks, LED lighting, and a gear indicator.

omfg, I've been anxious level 100 about the damn turn signal and you just push it in. Magic.

its the tiny things.. thank you for this video.. ive been watching alot and i have yet to see the gas tank (at all) or blinkers explained (visually).
If u really like the 300, you'll fall in love with the 1100. I got it and I love it. Safe travels! 👍🏽
Awesome video the rebel 300 is really appealing to me . I'm buying one next summer take care

I bought mine at a great price on Marketplace! I am a beginner on a motorcycle!
If you dont mind how much did you get it for
I love this video. You seem like my kind of people!! Fixing to get a 300 ABS and look forward to learning how to ride! Thank you!!
I just bought a 2023 Honda rebel 300
Great videos! I appreciate these! Hope to see you out on the road soon!

Thanks for the information sir. Everything is pretty clear. Isn't the speedometer faulty?

i love that this is a simple guide. thank you !
Not a beginner. But I wanted something cheap that looked cool enough. Works for me. No need to upgrade.
Fixing to go get one from Honda dealership any tips would be appreciated I am a beginner but have knowledge

@@ShadowOwn1 lmao good job restating what was said already
@@Sqippy Did you not say you would only hit 60 and then 42? I’m not gonna argue with you but you’ve obviously never ridden a 300.
Do you know anyone that can make keys for the rebel 300 2023? I lost my keys and none of the locksmiths I spoke to can do it.
How would a 6ft5 guy fit on it
Where are you from Eric?
thanks for all the advises. Great video
"Ignore the socks" 😅
Great tips! Thanks Bro.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Hey do you live in Bastrop? I ride a shadow 750 and live in Bastrop there is some nice roads here
I used to. I love bastrop, prolly going to move back next year or so. And yea the roads down there are the best 👌🏽
@@adventureswithericc hell yeah bro, keep the shiny side up.
Learning thanks for sharing
thank you for sharing Brother! good video.
great advice., less scared now.
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you.
Great video, learned a lot
Honestly, these days the used 300s are just about the price of new anyway, maybe $500 difference, tops.
Starter is the name you’re looking for
I bought my 2019 Rebel new, because it was cheaper than the new Honda moped i ordered. $ 2,000 dol. Less.
Thanks. Very góod
Steering wheel 😂 that’s the fork lock. And above it are your handle bars.👍
I think I’ll just stick with my Honda ruckus.
My fear is down shifting
Read your manual to learn everything he just explained.
lmao I was struggling with the gas cap too
