What is the Honda Rebel 500's performance with a passenger aboard?
28 January 2025 09:04
My girlfriend and I have done many rides together on my Rebel 500 motorcycle. The bike functions well, yet my preference is against extended trips when carrying another rider.
What differences exist between the Honda Rebel 500 and other cruisers meant for beginner riders?
28 January 2025 09:04
While I have a great time riding my Rebel 500, I have to admit it functions as a standard despite its cruiser design. To find something that embodies the spirit of cruiser motorcycles, you'll need to look beyond this bike.
For long highway trips, does the Honda Rebel 500 offer enough power?
28 January 2025 09:04
The highway hasn't posed problems for my riding experience, though my weight might help. Your experience could change if you weigh more than average or bring along a rider.
Does the Honda Rebel 500 fit riders who stand above average height?
28 January 2025 09:04
If you stand taller than six feet, you might want to select a Honda Shadow for better comfort. Taller riders will appreciate enhanced leg space together with superior ergonomic design.
What is the coolest mod you have seen on a Hummer H2?
28 January 2025 09:03
The coolest mod, actually, was actually subtle, a fully custom interior with hand stitched leather and a sick audio system. This made the H2 true luxury vehicle.
Why is there so much hate for Hummer H2 owners?
28 January 2025 09:03
I know this because I was once a H2 owner, and the attention gets old fast. You’re always defending your choice of vehicle because people either love it or hate it.
How bad is the Hummer H2 off road, as people claim?
28 January 2025 09:03
The H2 is honestly way more capable than people give it credit for. I have put mine on some truly gnarly trails and it has never let me down. Yeah, I guess it's not as nimble as a Jeep, but with the torque and the ground clearance — it more than makes up for it.
So, what’s with the Hummer H2’s fuel economy?
28 January 2025 09:03
The fuel economy criticism I think is valid. Vehicles like the H2 are the kind of mentality that is quickly becoming yesterday’s news in a world that is increasingly climate conscious.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?
28 January 2025 09:03
The size is a pain in tight parking lots, but it’s surprisingly comfortable for daily use. If you have to park and plan your routes, you definitely need to do this in advance.
What explains the cult following of the Honda Rebel 250 even with its mechanical restrictions?

QUESTION_DETAIL: Many new riders who want a cruiser-style motorcycle receive strong advice to start with the Honda Rebel 250. Its compact structure combines with minimal seat height and easy power control. According to certain riders, the Rebel 250 demonstrates deficiencies during highway and extended ride conditions that prevent it from being suitable for new bikers who want to graduate to larger

The Rebel 250 helped me learn to ride effectively when I started on it as my first motorcycle. Because of the low seat height, I was confident, and the power felt completely manageable. While highway performance leaves much to be desired, the bike excels for city riding and backroad beginners.

What would you change about the Yamaha RX 135 if you could change only one thing?
27 January 2025 12:53
Better brakes, hands down. Stopping was great, but the acceleration. Not so much. It would've been so much safer with disc brakes.
What modern features would you want to see if Yamaha brought back the RX 135?
27 January 2025 12:53
Honestly, just make it meet emissions and stick an ABS on it. That should be it, everything else stays the same. Why fix what isn't broken?
Is the Yamaha RX 135 really the 'King of the Streets' or is it just nostalgia, overhyped?
27 January 2025 12:53
I have owned both and I honestly had more fun with the RX, but my new bike is much more practical. The RX is that crazy ex you can't forget but you know you shouldn't go back to.
Have you seen the craziest mod on a Yamaha RX 135?
27 January 2025 12:53
I saw one at a show with the electric motor in place of the engine. It was pretty cool to see the old meets new concept, but purists were losing their minds.
Will the XSR300 be good for a beginner?
27 January 2025 10:16
I believe it will make a nice beginner bike. A newb should find the upright riding position just fine and the 300cc engine will be manageable. Also, it’ll be cool enough that you won’t feel like you’re riding a ‘learner’ bike.
Will the XSR300 carry the torch of the RD350?
27 January 2025 10:16
There's no way it'll live up to the RD350. That bike was lightning in a bottle, something special made at a special time, and it can’t be done today with all the modern restrictions. The RD350 will never have that raw, wild character, but the XSR300 might be good.
How customizable will the XSR300 be?
27 January 2025 10:16
Half the fun of owning a retro style bike is the amount of customization it allows for! The XSR300 will be designed accordingly and I’m sure that Yamaha knows this. I can't wait to see what people will do with it.
