Angry Hog :: 2021 Honda Rebel 500-ABS (Garage entry)

[Mark]

That's the problem Eggman, l've tried every small bike from triumph, honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, etc...and none fit me....if they do l'm just touching the ground.

l won't be modding it until l pass my license test. l would probably modify it after a year of Riding.

And no l haven't ridden dirt bikes as a kid but rode my sport heavy bicycles as a kid and they were heavier than a standard bicycle.

I sort of put this together for MirageRally.

This is what it looks like riding a bike like the Honda CB500X -

I really like the 471cc engine in these Honda bikes.

This is the view on a Honda Grom -

Note: It can't quite do 50 mph on the highway according to this guy. I would have concerns about putting a 471cc engine in cycle made for 125cc.

This is a ride on Honda Rebel 500 (same 471cc engine)

I prefer the upright sitting position of a standard or adventure sport bike. Thus, I would prefer the CB500X, but the Rebel 500 may be something to consider.

Adding a 500cc engine to a tiny Grom doesn't seem safe to me. That's a lot of power for a very small cycle. I honestly feel you would have more control of that power in a Rebel frame with brakes & tires that are designed for that power, too.

I am not really opposed to a Grom. They look like fun putt putt bikes. In my opinion, they seem like mopeds on steroids. I think it's the modified Grom that concerns me. Just saying as a friend to a friend.
