Reply #1 - 03/22/16 at 07:58:55 He should stop riding that little bike on those "wide open" roads. He would be passed less quickly and far less often if he stayed in town.....or in State Parks (Oldfeller would probably still zoom past him).

If you want fast, what you don't buy is
any Cruiser
of COURSE 600 supersports will eat your lunch, dink, it's a Rebel
don't get me wrong, a Rebel is a very good bike
all the way up to 60
it WILL do 70 all day long
as long as you're not climbing hills or fighting headwinds
then it needs 4th gear and REVS
he's really not pushing that little rebel

It was just fine till I'd hit a hill. Really I don't enjoy seed over 65 or 70 mph , don't understand anybody wanting to go faster on a regular basis ?

Oohhh.... you are sooo in for it! naw... yer not... OF's other half don't read this stuff Grin

When we had the rebel 250 for my wife, it kind of bogged down on her a lot, so we got her the savage. When I got to playing with the rebel, I took out the air filter and could hit 75 all the time (on a flat road), so much so that I broke the speedo cable on it.
We sold it to a young fella who was going to use it as his first ride, his dad road it (little bit bigger than me) to make sure it worked. When he came back in the drive he had a big smile on his face, and said "man, I didn't realize these things were so fun to ride", and this from a big ol' electriglide guy

i cant count how many bikes i have owned in 52 years of riding.a friend had a rebel and i helped him do some work on it of course a long test drive was necessary, i loved it. i now own a s40 and love it. it replaced my bassa and sometimes i would look and not believe how fast i was going so it was time to sell it . i had been looking at the s40 savage for many years .turns out to be a great bike for a 63 year old guy great site as well
