                  Perfect strong engine cruiser for style, comfort.
                  I chose this bike for its stunning cruiser design, strong road presence, looks and its engine. Its super comfortable, easy to handle, and perfect for both city rides and long highway trips and it is affordable also. The ride feels amazing! The engine is smooth, the balance is great, and it glides effortlessly on highways. Mileage is fair for a 500cc bike, and the comfort level is top-notch. Engine is very good and the look is premium. Yes, If you love stylish cruiser bikes with great comfort and performance, the Rebel 500 is worth it. It is perfect for those who want a good performance cruiser bike in affordable price with a stylish look.

                  The Mid and Top Range of the bike so so smooth yet powerful, a value for money in my opinion and it's compact too 📈 really love the performance, the crusing is also fair on this bike, really Enjoyed the ride. Although some people might think they are over charging, but trust me, it's better than a 650 ❤️

                  Honda rebel : the actual meaning of adrenaline
                  You know, the Honda Rebel 500 is one of those bikes they just completely nailed. It skips all that flashy, heavy chrome we see on old school cruisers and goes for this modern, blacked-out bobber look that works. And the first thing you feel is how crazy low that seat is. Seriously, it's a huge confidence booster.

                  Bike dikhne me very attractive lagti hai, iski design door se alag najriya paida krti hai, sbse main baat hai iska look, black colour sbse jyada bhaukali lagta hai, jb road par gujrati hai to aaju baju walon ki nigah bs isi baike ke charo taraf ghumti rahti hai, mileage thoda kam hai, pr koi baat nahi.

                  I recently bought this and my personal experience is amazing, specially for long ride I prefer this bike it's taken fuel but give a Joy of riding. I personally recommend this model to all bike Lovers who prefer comfortable ride and daily average is not more then 50-60 km to and fro it will be good option for those.

                  Worth it..
                  This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.

                  Review on Shotgun 650 (best in segment)
                  The reason I buy this bike was to get a reliable bike with price range up to 5 lakh, and I wanted a comfort and a good looking bike, so rather than getting GT 650 I chose this, and honestly I didn't regret my decision. Its a bike with comfort and power. Even Super meteor is there but that is more suitable for Long ride. So for shorter and comfy ride I chose Shotgun 650. Talking about positives, Really good looking bike, you we be the centre of attraction. Royal Enfield reliable engine with one of the best performance in this segments. Gives confidence on high speed. Talking about the Negatives, its a Heavy bike, so not suitable for every person, heating issue, not a major issue as this is ha heavy bike and so this is common. Yes, a person who want a good looking bike with a satisfying mileage and comfort and suitable for city rides. Even a person who want long tours with this bike is also possible but still there are better touring bike with this price range.

                  Best bike under 5 lakh .
                  This looks very cool on road. I'm impressed by his looks, and it come with 650cc engine. It gives me extra attention on road. I also looked for re super meteor650 but I personally love this one. It's seat height, exhaust everything is amazing. It's feels very comfortable while riding. I went for long ride with this bike around 130 km from patna to my home town it felt so comfortable. However, the mileage is less It gives u around 17 - 18 per litre. I personally recommend this bike to people age above 25 because it is a strong machine with heavy weight. Even this bike is so stable but it needs power to handle. It's gives u old bullet vibe with extra features and power overloaded .
