I bought a used 2004 Rebel 2-weeks back with 2,500 miles on it. I’m afraid, I hurt her when I try to push her more than 45 or 50, she don’t seem OK with speed beyond this. Some times I wonder I didn’t reach the Top gear, but I am in the 5th gear. I love this bike, its very smooth at a speed of 35 to 40mph, please advice if She needs some sort of power adjustments to it.

You can get increased torque by chaging out the rear spocket, but wouldn't advise it. I travel comfortably at ranges from 50-55 mph, but faster than that, the engine tends to whine too much and the vibration can be annoying which is why I don't travel on the highway much. It just isn't made for that sort of thing. From what i've heard, top end speed is around 75 mph, but I have only had her up to about 65mph. It just doesn't seem ok with high speed travel.

I have a 2003 Rebel, I have had it up to 75 mph, but that was all she had. This is a great starter bike, but it is not made for lots of highway riding.
