New 2017 Honda Rebel 500 Cruiser Motorcycle

2017 Honda Rebel 500, 2017 Honda Rebel 500 You don’t buy this bike. You make it yours.

The Rebel 500 is a true triple threat: part impressive performance, part minimalist good looks and completely fun to ride. The first thing you’ll notice about the Rebel 500 is its subtle, blacked-out looks. From the compact frame to its low-slung seat, it’s just cool. Once you get on, you’ll know immediately that this bike was meant to be ridden, thanks to an impressive lean angle, and a 471cc parallel-twin engine tuned for middle and upper-rpms. Ride it stock. Trick it out. Either way, this bike just feels right.

Features may include:

• SPORTY ENGINE

Twin-cylinder engines are a great choice for a machine like the new Rebel 500. Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the 471cc Rebel 500’s engine is one of our best ever. The parallel-twin engine is narrow, which helps reduce overall bike size. Plus it offers lots of low-rpm torque, but plenty of higher-rpm performance.

• BLACKED-OUT STYLE

The new Rebel is a blank canvas for your self expression. But unlike the canvas you buy at the art store, this one’s not boring white. As is, its black-out engine pieces, frame, and bodywork elements look great during the day and even better at night.

• LOW SEAT HEIGHT

When it comes to seat heights, almost everyone likes them lower. At just 27.2 inches, the new Rebel has one of the lowest seats in anyone’s lineup. It’s comfortable when you ride, and it makes it easier to flat-foot it at stoplights or in parking lots.

• SUPERIOR HANDLING

A lot of today’s motorcycles look great standing still, but disappoint once the road gets twisty. At Honda, we set high standards for the way all our bikes handle and feel, and the new Rebel is a perfect example—we’ve paid just as much attention to the way this bike corners and handles as we have its knockout styling.
