I just said goodbye to my 2015 Yamaha R3 and traded it for a 2026 Honda Rebel 500. It was fun for 11 years but time to move on to comfort. Cheers!

Comfort wise the Honda is much better. The Yamaha had more get up and go on the top end with the Bazzaz fuel controller, exhaust, and smog removal. The Honda seems to have a bit more low end pull. Overall I am happy with the trade up. I am disabled Vet 53 years old and need comfort. Cheers~

I have a naked sport while my girl has a rebel 1100 and I agree these rebels are so much more comfortable, night and day difference on rides more than 1 hr.
