Honda's new-for-2017 Rebel 500 recycles its 471 cc parallel twin into an interesting cruiser platform. It might not be for everyone, but Honda's gambling this bike will bring in younger riders. Honda doesn't list the official horsepower and torque numbers on its website, but we know it makes a bit less horsepower than the CBR500, and makes peak torque sooner. ABS is a $200 option.
