This is a 2005 Honda Rebel 250 that runs great and looks great, but has some minor cosmetic flaws. There's lots of pictures below so that you know exactly what you are bidding on. History/Condition: I am the first/only owner of this bike. It has been kept in a garage for nearly its entire life. Unfortunately, it had to spend its first winter in a covered parking spot at an apartment. The winter caused some surface rust, and also some pitting on the chromed plastic parts (see photos for example). Nearly all of the surface rust has been polished off, but a small amount remains. It has not grown/spread/worsened in any way in the past. It sounds worse than it is - just look at the photos! This bike was a first bike for my wife. She recently upgraded to a bigger bike, so it's time for this Rebel to find a new home. As one could expect for a "first bike" it has had a  very low speed drop. The resulting damage is cosmetic only, and not very noticeable. Photos of all known damage are included below.  Recent maintenance: Oil changed today (05/29/2011). New battery 2 weeks ago. Washed, waxed and polished last weekend. Included with the bike: Spitfire windshield (see photos). Owner's manual. Tool kit. Two keys. Clear title. Payment: $50 deposit via PayPal due within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Remainder of purchase price due upon pick-up (within 7 days of the end of the auction): cash or certified cashier check from a bank.

Take a walk around the bike: Take a closer look: How about a view from the seat? Gas tank has a small scratch (circled in yellow; other streaks are just glare from the sun): Back-side of right mirror is scraped: Right rear turn signal housing is scraped: Right exhaust has a small scrape: Top of right shock has a dent: Here's an example of the minor pitting you'll find on some of the chromed plastic parts: On May-29-11 at 20:50:52 PDT, seller added the following information: Additional recent maintenance I forgot to mention in the original description that the valve clearances were also checked and adjusted 2 weeks ago, the carburetter was thoroughly cleaned, and the gas tank was drained and refilled with fresh gas. No more worries about a bike that hasn't been ridden much recently - it runs like new, and it's ready to ride right now!
