In search for the best beginner cruiser motorcycle, I decided to buy the 2020 Honda Rebel CMX500. I compare the Rebel 500 versus its competitors: Kawasaki Vulcan S and Yamaha Star Bolt and share some of the reasons why this is the best beginner bike.
0:00 - Intro, exhaust, walk-around tour
0:45 - Honda Rebel 500 First Ride
2:00 - Why ride small bikes?
3:47 - Honda Rebel 500 vs Triumph Street Twin
4:59 - 2020 model overview & upgrades
7:30 - Honda's Best Beginner Bike
9:13 - Highway test
9:39 - Handling & Ergonomics
10:54 - Rebel vs Competitors (Vulcan S, Bolt)
13:17 - Future plans
14:08 - Bonus
The Vulcan and Bolt are fantastic bikes with more power and highway capability, but I think for urban riding around town the Rebel 500 wins it.
