(281) 506-1300 — or tap below for pricing on this Rebel 500 SE.
The 2025 Honda Rebel 500 ABS SE is a mid-weight cruiser powered by a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin with a six-speed gearbox, designed to work as a capable first bike that riders won't quickly outgrow. This new Blue model is priced at $6,999 at Honda of Houston. With a 27.2-inch seat height and 416-pound curb weight, the SE trim pairs blacked-out covers and a brown diamond-stitch seat with real all-day riding range.
About the Rebel 500 SE
The Rebel 500 ABS SE is Honda's mid-weight cruiser built around a 471cc parallel-twin that shares its bones with the CB500F and CBR500R, giving it a responsiveness most cruisers in this price range can't match. The SE trim adds the Titanium Metallic finish with a brown diamond-stitch seat, blacked-out engine covers, and a round LED headlight that set it apart from the standard Rebel 500. At 416 pounds with a 27.2-inch seat height, it's low and light enough to be a genuine first bike but carries a six-speed gearbox and enough midrange to stay interesting well past the learning phase. Honda of Houston has ten Rebel 500 ABS SE units on the lot right now, so this is one of the most popular bikes in the building.
Houston-Area Fit
A 416-pound cruiser with a low center of gravity is a forgiving way to learn Houston traffic, and the parallel-twin stays cooler in stop-and-go on I-10 or the 610 Loop than a big-displacement V-twin would. Right now temperatures are in the 70s with moderate humidity, which is the window for comfortable all-day rides out to Brenham or the FM roads west of town before summer heat forces you into dawn-and-dusk schedules. The 3.0-gallon tank gives around 170 miles per fill depending on riding style, so plan fuel stops on longer rides out to the Hill Country. Motorcycles ride the HOV lanes solo in Houston, and the Rebel's compact footprint parks anywhere downtown or in Montrose.

Frequently Asked Questions: 2025 HONDA Rebel 500 SE
What is the price of the 2025 Honda Rebel 500 Abs Se?
The 2025 Honda Rebel 500 ABS SE is priced at $6,999 (stock #HM800532DT). This is a new unit in the Titanium Metallic finish with the SE-exclusive brown diamond-stitch seat and blacked-out engine covers. For questions about out-the-door pricing or current promotions, call Honda of Houston at (281) 506-1300.
Does Honda of Houston offer financing on the Rebel 500 Abs Se?
Yes, Honda of Houston offers financing on the Rebel 500 ABS SE, including options through Honda Financial Services. You can visit the dealership at 10039 Huffmeister Rd, Houston, TX 77065 to discuss terms in person, or call (281) 506-1300 to get started on a credit application before you come in.
What maintenance does the Rebel 500 Abs Se require?
Honda recommends an oil change every 8,000 miles or 12 months on the 471cc parallel-twin, with valve clearance inspections at 16,000-mile intervals. The final drive is an O-ring-sealed chain (15T/40T), which should be cleaned, inspected, and adjusted roughly every 600 miles or as needed based on riding conditions. Keeping up with these intervals is straightforward, and Honda of Houston's service department can handle all scheduled maintenance.
How does ABS work on the Rebel 500 Abs Se?
The ABS system monitors wheel speed at both the front 296mm disc and rear 240mm disc, rapidly modulating brake pressure if it detects a wheel starting to lock under hard braking. This keeps the tires rolling and the bike stable instead of sliding. It is especially useful on Houston roads after a rainstorm, when oil residue lifts to the surface and traction drops quickly.
Is the Rebel 500 Abs Se suitable for Houston commuting?
The Rebel 500 ABS SE is one of the better commuter options for Houston. At 416 pounds with a low 27.2-inch seat height, it handles stop-and-go on I-10 or the 610 Loop confidently, and the liquid-cooled parallel-twin runs cooler in traffic than a big V-twin would. Motorcycles can use Houston's HOV lanes solo, and the Rebel's compact size makes parking downtown or in Montrose easy. The 3.0-gallon tank covers around 170 miles per fill, which is enough for most commuters to go a full week without stopping for gas.
What warranty comes with the 2025 Rebel 500 Abs Se?
The 2025 Rebel 500 ABS SE comes with Honda's one-year, unlimited-mileage, transferable limited warranty. Extended coverage is also available through a HondaCare Protection Plan for buyers who want longer peace of mind. Contact Honda of Houston at (281) 506-1300 for details on extended warranty pricing and coverage options.
