Honda Rebel 500 performance
Super riding experience..... instent torque feel like a rocket praised for its user-friendly design, comfortable low seat height, and smooth engine, making it ideal for city riding and easy maneuverability, while still offering enough power for basic highway cruising; however, some reviewers note its limited passenger space and may not be suitable for taller rider

Good for budget 500 segment
The rebel 500 is overall a nice bike and nice for beginner to moderate experienced riders looking for 500cc segment bikes..you cannot expect performance like 1800cc harleys on this one but it sure is good for city rides

The Bike Is Over Priced. Quote Affordable Price
Honestly, The bike is overpriced. When you get Royal Enfield Meteor 650 Cc for 3.5 to 4 lakhs on the road Honda Rebel 500 price should be quoted somewhere around 2 to 2.3 lakhs on the road with all modern features like Bluetooth connectivity, side stands automatic anti-breaking lock system, slipper clutch, and most importantly kick start which most of the bikes misses as it might help when the battery is low on emergency conditions. So please install kick start also.

ATTENTION CATCHER! It will make peoples head turn in your direction and amazing ride quality. Not for city ride. Engine will heat up rapidly.The best part of it is stance and way it is shaped. Totally different looking bike than any other Enfields bike.It is a mixer of cruiser and sports bike.One should consider this....

Super bike just dont expect superbike like power.
Good bike who are looking for low rider type bike....styling is best so far. Disclaimer not for weak people or chapri Weight is its pro not a con as it stabilises it on the road, maintainence is slightly on the upper side but thats ok if you want to drive a 650 cc u also have to face its consequences.

Shotgun 650
I brought this bike for around 4.7lakh and i you ask me if the the bike is worth that much i will say "definitely it is" because shotgun can give a comfortable seating posture and is comfortable for long term ride but in the case of seats i will only give a average comfortable rate as the seat will give u pain in the back if rode for long. The mileage efficiency depends upon how well you ride the perfect rpms gear shifts etc soo in the sense of mileage i have about 25~27 which is excellent. service cost are not much expensive still the parts are expensive. the gear box has a issue like the gear gets stuck in between 2&3 5&6
