Found a Honda rebel 1100 DCT for $6,100 with 1,000 miles I'm going to be a first time rider and likely take the bike on long trips. Let me know what you guys think .

Looking to get your guys opinion the 500 ABS with 500 miles from a private seller the asking price is $5,500 what do you guys think a lot of private market is in range of 5.5 to up 6.6k I'm im in PA as well a first time rider so imm looking forward to pull the trigger

Looking to buy a used 500, I found one for $6,900 the mileage is 800. Will be my first bike so I'm really excited to pull trigger I've been looking also with local dealers were the bikes are $5,000 for 2022 model with low miles.

Please give me some advice.

I'm looking at getting a cruiser and interested in the Honda Rebel 1100, but I don't know if it's the right fit for me and I thought you guys might be able to help. So here's all the information I can provide and my goals for the bike.

I've been riding for a year, my first and only bike is a Yamaha R3. I love my little R3, it's an excellent beginner bike, and I love how fast it feels without being absolutely busted like the R7 or other higher-range sportbikes. I love guiding it with my hips and taking turns just leaning to one side or the other.

But I've been looking at cruisers for a few reasons. The R3 feels just a little small under me at 6'3". I'd like for my wife to ride with me as well, and the R3 wouldn't be able to take the weight of a passenger (and seems like it would be uncomfortable for a passenger anyway). A cruiser would have better handling on the highway and better comfort for longer drives. I just like the form factor of those 1950s style bikes, I think they look cool. The ground clearance is higher than a touring bike and still allows me to lean into turns a little, even if not as much as a sport bike.

My only cruiser experience so far is on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, which I enjoyed overall, but the suspension feels terrible. Even just running over manholes feels uncomfortable. Which is all a shame because the aesthetics of the bike are great.

I looked online and compared it to the Indian Scout Sixty, Kawasaki Vulcan S, and Yamaha Bolt R-Spec. But I think overall I like the Rebel 1100 better. Performance-wise though, I don't really know how they compare. I like the Rebel 1100's screen connectivity to my phone, but I do already use a Cardo system for my helmet, and I'm alright with using Google Maps' voice directions even if I prefer seeing a map, so not having the Honda connect system isn't a dealbreaker.

My price range is optimally, sub-10k USD. But I'm willing to go a bit over if I'm really convinced I like the bike and it's a good investment. The one I built on the Honda site was around 10k and I know with fees it'll be a bit over.

Do you guys think the Rebel 1100 is right for me?

Just picked up my first bike. The chain is lookin a little rowdy. Any recommendations on where to find new chain and sprocket?

Hey guys, I just got a Rebel 500 and went to buy some gear today. I ended up getting a white sports bike jacket but is it weird to wear that kind of jacket on a gray Rebel? I feel like I normally see people in armored hoodies or leather jackets. So just wondering if that’s weird or if it’s normal.

Hi everyone,

Since I’ve finally calmed down/aged a bit and should no longer kill myself by doing something stupid on a bike, I’m planning on getting my license this year and I’m heavily looking into the Rebel 500.

However, I’m not a small guy - 185cm/6’1 and weigh 125kg/275lbs.

Looking at reviews this seems to be more towards/over the limit for this bike and wanted to get some input from everyone here.

Some upgrades I’m expecting that will most likely be needed to improve comfort:

* seat

* front controls

* suspension

* wind screen/cowl

Any feedback on how useful these would be and/or suggestions would be appreciated as well.
