The Honda CMX250, or Rebel 250, is a 234 cc (14.3 cu in) cruiser-style motorcycle made by Honda on and off since 1985. It uses the same 234 cubic centimetres (14.3 cu in)straight-twin engine as the Honda CB250 Nighthawk, which is a standard motorcycle. The Rebel is part of the CM series of cruisers. Since its wet weight is 320 pounds (150 kg),[2] it is commonly used in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's certified rider-training courses.[citation needed]The Rebel's fuel consumption averages 52–62.6 mpg-US (4.5–3.76 L/100 km; 62–75.2 mpg-imp), with refills needed at around 190 miles (310 km).[3] The 1996 Rebel had the best fuel economy, 62.6 miles per US gallon (3.76 L/100 km; 75.2 mpg-imp), of the 352 past and current models tested in the 2010 Motorcycle Consumer News Performance Index.[2] Its maximum speed is 70 miles per hour (110 km/h).[2]It has a single disc brake in the front and a drum in the rear. The only gauge is a speedometer that includes gear recommendations based on speed; there is no tachometer. The transmission is a standard down-1st, up-2nd to 5th 5-speed.The September 1985 issue of Motorcyclist magazine, when the Rebel was first introduced, stated "by targeting the bike to a young audience, such as those who watch MTV, Honda hopes to attract newcomers and expand the motorcycle market ... Honda is not marketing this motorcycle as a woman's bike."[4] Please look closely at the pictures. Feel free to email me any questions
