Honda Rebel 500 (CMX500) motorcycle hire in New Zealand

Cool cruiser styling, low seat, easy to ride — the friendliest 500 we hire.

Honda Rebel 500 (CMX500)

The Honda Rebel 500 (CMX500) is a low-slung, easy-going cruiser that's perfect for riders returning to the saddle, smaller riders who want feet flat on the ground, or anyone who simply prefers a relaxed cruiser riding position to a forward-leaning adventure stance.

A 471 cc parallel-twin delivers smooth, forgiving power — enough for comfortable South Island touring without ever feeling intimidating. The 690 mm seat height is one of the lowest in our fleet.

Comes with side luggage option, USB charging and heated grips. Pick up from Christchurch — perfect for the Canterbury Plains, the East Coast, and easy alpine passes.
