Designed to be more of a well-rounded motorcycle, the Rebel 500 serves as an ideal cruiser for riders to experience all kinds of riding. Unimpressive performance in stock form, begs for modifications.Īnother entry-level cruiser stemming from Honda is the contemporary Honda Rebel 500. The Shadow is ideal for beginner riders just looking to cruise around town and build their confidence operating a real motorcycle in real-life traffic without any of the intimidation. The 2023 version of this motorcycle also packs a 745cc liquid-cooled V-twin four-stroke engine, which delivers the right amount of kick for a new rider to make them feel in control, and not present itself as overpowering. Its low seat-height makes mounting and dismounting a breeze, its pullback handlebar makes steering and maneuverability much easier, and its forward controls only amp up its comfort factor. Simple, but also stylish and smooth, this bike serves as the perfect vessel to introduce your inner-badass to the rest of the world. Widely considered one of the most popular cruiser bikes for beginners, the Honda Shadow checks off all the boxes one looks for in a beginner cruiser.
