More about this bike
Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1985; Make: Honda; Model: CMX250; Mileage: 13,700 miles; Engine: 250 cc; Type: Cruiser; Color: Red. Own a piece of history! First generation, first model year of the legendary Rebel 250! I have owned this bike since 2008; garage kept, only ridden in the rain once. These bikes are great to learn on, and fun to ride. Starts and runs smoothly. Gets 60-70 miles per gallon. Clear title. New Parts: Tires only have a few thousand miles on them, brand new battery, new LED headlight (because the original headlights were under powered on the early Rebels; but original headlight comes with it); new fuel filter, fuel petcock, and fuel lines. Upgrades: Windshield (makes commuting on the interstate easy even in cold weather); 2-prong rear kick-stand (didn't come standard, but makes it possible to do rear tire and chain maintenance and easy oil changes). New, LOUD horn. Quick-disconnect pigtail for battery tender installed. (Easily keep the battery in good condition through the winter.) Extras: Comes with brackets I made so you can mount bicycle panniers to cary enough luggage to easily camp from the bike. Imperfections: As with most Rebels of this age, the rear turn signal arms are repaired (the factory design was flawed, and when I replaced the broken originals the new ones broke so quickly I just braced them in place). The seat has two small tears that I've sealed with "thousand-mile-an-hour-tape." Title: clean. Note: CT does not maintain titles separate from registration for vehicles of this age, so the registration is the title.
What the photos show
- Red Honda Rebel 250 cruiser shown on gravel, with a tall clear windscreen, chrome exhaust and REBEL side covers.
- Red tank paint still shines with the gold Honda wing, but close-ups show light marks and age, and the engine and fork lowers show corrosion and dull alloy.
- Black solo and passenger seats are present, but the rider seat has visible duct-tape repairs in the top-down frame.
- Spoked wheels with a front disc and rear drum; tire tread looks deep in close-ups, though age cannot be judged from tread alone.
- Some frames are older photos of the same bike without the windscreen and with soft saddlebags fitted.
- Cannot judge cold start, running, carburetion, electrics or title from photos alone.
Money: $1,999 asking buys an honest, aged Rebel as photographed with taped seat and corrosion; verify it starts and runs, check tire dates and confirm title before bidding.
