Honda's clashes with Harley-Davidson over similar styling issues gave this little bike the seal of approval among cruiser enthusiasts, but ultimately sealed its fate as well, according to the U.K.-based The Rebel Club. After only three years, the Rebels were retired until the re-emergence of the Rebel 250 in 1996. The 1985 to 1987 models remain popular around the world and have held their value remarkably well.
