The Rebel 500's power
plant is more than a
scaled-up version of its
single-cylinder sibling.
It's a parallel twin with
plenty of pep that's even
more enjoyable to ride.
The Rebel is all about
easy-going fun, with an
approachable low seat
height and docile nature.
Honda offers the Rebel
500 with and without ABS.
Honda's bare bones Rebel
isn't just an inexpensive
gateway bike to the world
of motorcycling, it's fun to
ride as well. It also has a
few features that up until
recently were the territory
of pricier, larger models
in the cruiser market,
most notably a six-speed
transmission and hydraulic
disc brakes. For $300 more,
you can get the Rebel with
ABS technology.
