My picture is the first tip off that I might be biased. It’s true that the bike can generate a lot of horsepower. It’s also true that the power band is pretty linear, and it won’t rocket you off into a wall unless you, for some strange reason, decide that you need to twist the throttle all the way around without stopping in the middle. The bike doesn’t have a sudden spot where it suddenly develops torque.
That said, I have a soft spot for the Rebel. It’s a tried and true starter bike, they’ve got a cool retro style, and they’re good solid machines that hold their value. Wouldn’t mind having one around to play with.
