The 2017 Honda Rebel 500 is a popular, beginner-friendly cruiser known for its low seat height (27.2"), minimalist bobber styling, and fun-to-ride nature, powered by a liquid-cooled 471cc parallel-twin engine (around 45hp) from the CBR500R, offering good low-end torque and nimble handling for city/backroad fun. Key specs include a 6-speed transmission, 408 lb curb weight, standard ABS (on some models), and a distinctive look with fat tires and an exposed trellis frame, making it a great entry point or light commuter.
