My shiny new 500 ABS will be in my possession in just a couple short hours!

Good for you! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

Congrats, you've got a lot of fun ahead of you

Assuming that you rode it home, what do you think of it?

Love it! No comfort issues to speak of, aside from the stock grips... but those only stayed on for about 35 miles or so before I replaced 'em.

Lots more miles will be seen this weekend!

The grips on the CB versions are so small and hard that many have gone to adding a foam grip covers over the stock grips (Grip Puppies or Grab On are common brands). I've used both of those brands over the past three years.

The important part is that you really like the bike!

The rebels have 1" bars so the grips are not really small.
