Overview
The Honda Rebel 500 is a cruiser in production from 2017 through 2026. For 2026, its liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated 471 cm³ parallel-twin makes 46 hp (34 kW) and 43.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm; wet weight is 191 kg.
The 690 mm seat height keeps the rider low, while the 191 kg wet weight is something to account for when maneuvering at walking pace. ABS is fitted, and the rear suspension has 94 mm of wheel travel, leaving less suspension movement to absorb bumps than the front, which has 140 mm. The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
At 690 mm, the seat height makes it easier for many riders to put their feet down at a stop.
ABS braking
ABS can help prevent the wheels from locking during hard braking.
Torque at 6,000 rpm
The 43.3 Nm peak gives the parallel twin useful pulling force when the engine reaches 6,000 rpm.
Things to consider
Limited rear suspension travel
The rear wheel has 94 mm of travel, so it has less room to absorb larger bumps.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.
