Rebel 250 |
The Honda CMX450 "Rebel" motorcycle manufactured by Honda for model years 1986 and 1987. In contrast to the Rebel 250 cruiser it has a 450 cc motor. The introduction of the Rebel 250 and 450 was a way for Honda to attract female riders, new to motorcycling,[2] due to these bikes' low seat heights, low center of gravity, and overall ease of handling.[3]
