2008 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C

Comfortable, durable and stylish, the Rebel may be the perfect entry level streetbike for a trip across town or even long-distance adventures.

Who says you need a big-bore machine to appreciate the joys of motorcycling? Not a Honda Rebel rider, that's for sure. A user-friendly combination of light weight and comfortable size has made the CMX250C Rebel an enduring favourite among riders looking for an easy-to-handle cruiser. The good stuff begins with a high-output twin-cylinder engine that runs more smoothly than a single, yet is thrifty on gas and easy to maintain. A front disc brake brings you to a halt quickly, and that's when you'll notice how easy it is to put your feet flat on the ground, thanks to a low seat height. This is a bike that instills confidence on every ride.

There are entry-level cruisers, and then there's the Rebel-sporting more style and user-friendly performance than any other 250-class machine out there. Dependable Honda four-stroke power, exceptional handling, styling as classic as it is attractive, an all-new Silver paint scheme ... what's not to like about this great entry-level cruiser on the road? Correct. Absolutely nothing.
