Hello hello hello you join us today and I’m on the CL 500 and Joe’s on the rebel 500 on a lovely wet day yeah first proper ride of The Hunt The Hunt The blacke Hunt season 2 and it’s rainy I’m on the Rainy Rebel we explained earlier our reasons
For hunting for another pair of motorcycles so we’ll get to this going be our first impressions so what you thinking of the RBS babe I’m thinking this a know from me really yeah you don’t like the seat I don’t like the well it’s the position yeah the actual
Seat is fine oh struggling to bloody go around roundabouts on this thing I love this little CR 500 is so agile it’s a lot quicker than the scram I am like itching to get on that one cuz cuz that looks Lush yeah it’s a lovely color isn’t it yeah I don’t know
The color but I put on the screen but is green matte green and yours is a bronze I think yeah like bronzy oh this has got six gears yeah it’s a bloody Honda of course he’s got six gears mate I thought cuz it’s only 500 it why not do you going to swap
Back or should we go back out the r about let’s go on the red yeah com in sorry oh we got a gear indicator we got a bloody the dash is not very easy to see I’m not going to lie no I don’t know if that’s a brightness thing you can
Turn it up oh you’re right on me but right up your date mate right up my date oh I got nice clean air I like it I mean this is quite fun once you going I just the turns because like just the way my positioning goes to like lean with the bike that’s
Where it’s doing my M granny hit in you should have um done your yoga this morning babe I know I should have done I I did actually buy a new yoga mat and I haven’t used it yet so do I really like this little C 500 and I’m going to Nick
It off you you’re going to Nick it off me I am can we turn in here can do what is it oh in here oh a puddle it let’s go oh wait sorry it hell you stop your indicating yeah I know but I can only do cuz you’re like last
Minute but you don’t necessarily speak out loud till the last second no I literally saw it last minute the puddle don’t want to get these babies too wet you know what I’m like I got ADHD remember yeah I know so you got to take into account that I’m bloody Slowpoke
Reaction back break is not great back break is absolutely shy absolutely shy I will see you shortly cuz it’s not clear I’ll meet you at the labar babe okay nice smooth throttle not a lot of vibration it’s got a nice sound to it got any positives to say about yours
Babe not while I’m getting run around bet no I thought women could do two things at once I can I was very much wrong well it’s been a little while since I’ve been on a bike I’m not found at this position and I can’t see cuz it’s raining so oh someone’s
Grumpy hey back on the proper Road that’s fine I don’t know if you can hear me but my positives are it is pretty fun like whing along here I just feel a little bit awkward with the positioning just feels a bit odd but it has got a lot of lot of
Oomph does feel a lot faster than a 500 like just on the Off the Mark factor I don’t know where the laby is probably going to whiz past him in a minute know I mean where is it front breaker is very sharp easy to get neutral where are you
Aha oh I’ve been talking I knew I you can hear me so I’ve been oh look at you Rebel bad ass biker they got some chunky Tire on that though is it yeah well my positives were um what’s your positives baby you spoke about them of
You I have I said it’s it does feel like it’s got a lot of uh oomph lot of oomph it feels like it should be more than a 500 like when you’re on the straight yeah it’s just that I feel because of the positioning I just feel
Really awkward on it yeah it is a very scrunch motorcycle I guess it’s for short people is it yeah but I’m not tall no what you 5′ 78 no I’m 55 oh really yeah you still feel scrunch I’m 5’9 but then I haven’t got short legs I’ve I’ve
Got quite long legs for if you wearing that ways look at me the sideways for very very scrunched on it do I look scrunched on it well you’re you’re like that but you don’t look like that you know whereas I I could knees up ears yeah that’s how I
Felt like I was I don’t know if I was it does feel like I’m having a on the toilet I’m not a fan of that key on the side no that’s a bit of a pain in the ass yeah are you get on that little beast I’m pretty sure you’re going to like
That yeah little bag on the side you that’s really sold mate with that bag on the side I know you like that yeah I’d have to get a level one though that’s that’s waterproof thing perfect for today yeah it’s true all right let’s start this little
Beast yeah just the keys down here it’s just a bit weird is it Rebel’s louder but it is a rebel and it it’s got to be rebeled oh God yeah that is dead quiet all right should I go first yeah are you ready yes this F feels um I know the gear box
The the first gear feels shorter don’t know if that’s true um I would say compared to this is year feels more Pokey didn’t it off the get- go yeah these are courtesy of CJ balls in Norwich fantastic dealership yes well got my 125 and we dealt with Steph who’s been fantastic y
And we saw her in the flesh this morning she was there to get the bikes out yes oh I love this do you yeah this is like lovely positioning I mean I get what you mean about the seat being hard as liming a lump of stone but a lump of stone I
Found like the edges of it were digging in a little bit sper get what you mean I just wish this Rebel had Ford controls on it yeah that would make it so that your legs aren’t scrunched up they need for controls I wonder if you
Can get a conversion I won’t buy it on that basis no the fact that it’s got mids I just I don’t like the mids it yeah it doesn’t to me go with that position in I don’t think I could sit on this for a long time oh God no like that
Was enough for me ain’t getting back on that you got the old heat grips in yours you like it oh it’s lovely so is that a standard or have they just put them on just very doubt that it’s standard God damn it they don’t give nothing away these days do
They it might be I’m not sure but oh they do that in a lovely blue as well didn’t they oh get pair I like this color you have that color front feels weird on this just feels a little bit out of the line well wobbly
Or maybe the tire pressure is a bit low don’t feel too good the the CR 500 just felt so much better oh yeah this is Lush if I had to choose between the two I it’s like night and night and day I I’d pick the sale 500 yeah I’d rather twice
Over you were like hands down yeah I’d rather not I’d rather wait to get a bike than have the rebel because I just do not enjoy r didn’t that no I mean it’s okay I do it’s it’s a fun little bike but no not for me definitely
Not for me and not for you so this is off y the cars this one no the CL 500 so far we’ve ridden it’s the first two of the year of the Season yes and the C 500 is at the top we got a few more to try couple of coming up
Nx500 and CV 650 R which would be an interesting one cuz that is an inline 4 and I really want you to try an inline four so catch us on the next one where we be trying those out see what we think of them and we’ll let you know so thank
You for joining us on this little first ride first impression CR 500 is a winner for both of us get in we’ll catch you on the next one until then I been Nick I’ve been Joe and we’ll catch you on the next one safe
It does feel good to get back on the bik though bab doesn’t it um yeah but that being the first one I was like oh my God if I’d have gotten this one first that would have been a different story babe as Kelly Clarkson always says what won’t kill you will make you
Stronger it’s making you a stronger person this is why you’re in a manorial [Laughter] state fuing can’t wait to get off this mate oh know that’s there I was I can’t even take a full deep breath like when you like let’s start again you get back on that I thought no
Oh F me can’t breathe mate the rebel yeah and I’m pretty sure the 1100 has got the same frame that can get in the bin

Your not about to change bikes again Nick surely lol.
Well iam on number 5 in 18 months must be mad but got keeper now a cmx1100. Deffo try the rebel
Aaaaaaah the RE´s had both there mandatory Oilchange 😂Wouldn´t both my prefered bikes in that direction That are more the Speed and Scrambler 400 instead of Rebel and CL500. If i must guess CL Nick, Rebel Jo
Hi 👋 👋 👋
I just rode a 750 trans alp from honda in gran canaria with canaria motorbike tours . Got to say its the perfect do it all motorbike.
I'll be back after the second half of Arsenal V Porto.
hahahaaha amazing!! I love how often this thing keeps happening lol
l think those Rebels are bloody ugly personally, glad you didn't get on with it 👍
Back with more bikes 🙂 I got the CL500 in Green, lovely other than the exhaust limiting luggage options, standard seat is lower – something to consider for Jodie. Same issue for me with the Rebel, strange position even if you are a shorty!
I got the Rebel, cause am a real short arse, with short legs. Only bike I can safely flat foot.
Set of bar risers made huge difference to it, on the road.😊
I like the CL 500 better & apparently a CL 750 might be coming out.I know a women who just rode 1200km to Bert Monroe week in Invercargill in NZ 🇳🇿 & then rode back on a Rebel 500 a total distance of 2400km.She'll get legendary status for that trip & on a 500 & only been riding less than a year.
Ohhhhh REALLLYYYY ???? – you can't even begin to imagine how SURPRISED we all arrrrrrr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NO – AAAAARRRRRR ! ☝☝😆
Both really nice looking bikes, love the green on the cl🏍🇬🇧👍🙂
