When i graduated high school my step dad gave me a r.v and a motorcycle. Best gift ever! He knew i was a traveler.. And knew it would be cheeper to have a bike once i was parked to venture out with. The r.v had a walnut tree fall on it durning a tornado. But thank God i still had the bike and still do. Its a 1964 sears bike. It still runs! My step dad my be gone as well as the r.v.but neither will be forgotten!
Wow what an amazing gift and an even more amazing Step Dad. Sorry they are both gone but incredible that you still have the bike. Thanks for sharing 🤗❤ WOW!!
For $600 how could you pass it up? Great steal and purchase that gives you way more range than the e-bike and you just look so comfortable on it. Way to go Eric!
I agree. I knew it was coming because it's in his adventurous nature. Awesome, great purchase. Your audio was actually pretty decent. Congrats Eric!! 😊
TWIN STAR, CM class Two cylinders, that's a shift lever that fell off ! Both pistons go up and down at the same time, but only one fires, with a counter weight that between them on the crank shaft, that's why it runs so smooth.
Very cool upgrade. I just started my full-time RV life and your channel has been an invaluable source of information and entertainment. Thanks for the great content. Be safe and I hope to see you on the road. DU HAST!
Congrats on your new ride! I know you’re a thinking guy, however the only other minimal gear I found with over 300K miles of riding is a pair of gloves...I know from sad experience that the first thing that touches the ground will be your hands if you fall over, or go down...think about it. Keep up with the great videos and ride/travel safe.
Hey, if it is a single cylinder cycle as you say, why does it have two exhaust pipes, one on each side? You lost the clutch pedal bolt? I think that is the shift lever? The carb is on the handlebar, no I think that is the choke.
I said it's carburated, and then I reached up to the choke because that's what you'll do when you start it up. Nobody is going to go down and massage the carburetor before starting...
The alarm weighs 12oz. That's like 5 tater tots. And you make this claim despite all 3 of my last bikes being attempted stolen. All 3. Honda PCX scooter, Yamaha TW2000, and Honda Grom... I showed you each time how the alarm thwarted each theft caught on camera. I don't think I care much for you opinion since your comment makes no factual sense to begin with, but hey - I tried.
Understandable mistake - After all it is a rebel, runs about like that 125 single cylinder scooter lol Aside from the technical mistakes, choke not carb, shifter not clutch: He did get a smoking deal! I mean really - a rebel is like a fat chick! Both fun to ride till your friends find out 😂
Yeah, last time I rode a motorcycle the clutch was ALWAYS on the handlebar using the left hand. Gear-shifter down below, front brake on the handlebars using right hand, rear brake under the right foot. I'll be embarrassed but not surprised if any of these have changed but after all, it's been almost forty years since I've ridden. (Old fart here) I too caught the mistaken reference to "single cylinder" (those are two cylinder bikes).
Nice - Just perfect to be able to go cruisin to new locations. I just started following you vlogs and have really enjoyed them. I first saw the one from 2014 about you, Jax and life. Great video. Will enjoy catching up on your adventures.
While unloading, if you shift the bike into gear, you can use the clutch lever to control the bike rather than the brake. That may be easier than reaching across the handlebar with the bike so high.
Great buy Eric, very clean machine. 12K miles is nothing. However, it's a SHIFT level, no clutch lever. It's a TWIN cylinder, not single. Great choice too, weight, seat height, price, power. Enjoy, and be careful!
Just pulling your leg . . . Ever see a carburetor on handlebars, or the shifter pedal he referred to as “clutch” ? He stokes his superiority complex by joshing us mere mortals. Sad . . but he’s gettng his clicks $ $ $ $
I’m really happy to see that you got another real motorcycle. That “clutch pedal” you’re referring to is actually the gear shift pedal. That bike actually has a two cylinder engine, as evidenced by the two exhaust pipes coming out of the heads. 12,000 miles is really not too much for a motorcycle. I just turned over 60,000 miles on my ‘06 Kawasaki KLR 650. She’s still going strong, and gets 62 mpg. Let’s Ride
I loved my Rebel. I lovingly called it my Baby Bike. I didn't feel like it had enough power to safely ride the freeways in Vegas, but it definitely was a fun bike to scoot around on. Enjoy it.
Hello Eric, you can cover the tank scratches by adding a basket (or the like) for Jax to ride in. Now you need your colors, a large "NOMADIC FANATIC" patch like on the side of your RV to be sewn on your leather jacket. Out here those Rebel bikes go from 2500 to over 6500, you got a killer deal.
Dittos on it's a "twin" not a single, it's a shifter, not a clutch, and your carb is not on your handlebar, that's a choke. This is not meant to sound harsh - mainly giving you a hard time! We really like your videos, when you show Jax... ;)
Eric, you need to remember that the actual weight being applied to the receiver will be FAR FAR greater than 500lbs when you are going over the road. You will likely experience times where the downward forces will exceed even 1000+ lbs. I think you are risking a major failure of your rear receiver if you drive extended periods with that bike back there. I know some folks with Class A and Super Cs do this, but that's generally because they have a 800-1000lb hitch rating on a much larger receiver.
Gorgeous bike, Eric! Ya had me a little nervous at first..all I could think was "Oh no, what did you buy, Eric..". Lol. I got really excited for you when you showed the bike! Lol
Very Cool Eric! I used to race motocross and also used to have an 81 Kawasaki KZ550 and it was so much fun to ride through the mountains and what not. Have fun, stay safe and I'm looking forward to your new adventures!
Very nice and $600 is a great deal anytime of year! If it was maintained well 12k miles is nothing on a Honda, oh and it’s twin cylinder that’s why there is two pipes coming out of head, but that’s much better and last a lot longer than a single cylinder 👍
Nomadic Fanatic no Bro, It’s called a straight twin, each piston has its own cylinder,. It’s a single carb straight twin, just ride it who cares what it is Anyway LOL 👍
william wilkins I messed up a set of springs and blew a fork seal before I found out about them I’ll never strap a bike down without a fork saver again.
@@williamwilkins3323 Please tell us about the fork saver. I guess it's not the same as "save your fork for dessert", lol. What is it, and how does it work?
Nice starter bike. Enough power to be fun but not enough power to get you into trouble. My recommendations..... Open face helmet with clear flip up face shield. If you ever ran into a bee or a piece of gravel or a rock dislodged from a truck tire at sixty MPH you will appreciate a good face shield. Also, of you ever have the misfortune of hitting the ground the first thing that will contact the pavement will be your hands. Mechanic Gloves sold at the Harbor freight are cool and comfortable and offer good protection and a sturdy set of shoes are a must. The guy at the MC Rider channel always says.... "dress for the crash". Have fun but you probably know that motorcycles can be dangerous. Ride carefully.
Arthur it’s a twin cylinder. but some Honda’s ran a 4 value single like the old xr650 that has 2 exhaust pipes. they let the engine breathe better for more power.
Good deal on your motorcycle Eric! I bought a 1983 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency 4 door sedan in 2004 for only $500 in good running condition and almost 16 years later it's still running good and the only thing I had to change during those 16 years was the water pump, radiator, water hoses, belts, tires, oil, filters and that's it. Older vehicles are cheaper, easier to work on and built to last if you take good care of them.
Congratulations Eric.. Live love Ride Be safe and enjoy the wind in your face... Full faced helmet ⛑ the only safe head gear on a motorcycle. I have had many a crash. Wouldn’t have a face without them..🙏 Sorry for the lecture. My background. Ridden street 20+ years on bikes 30 years and I’m a racer. Owned a shop for many years. Be safe...
Anyone want to take bets? I bet its gone after a few months, maybe less. We know you by now Eric... you get bored being alone on the road, and fill that void with toys, then move on to the next when the honeymoon is over. Its a keeper, so maybe this time, you'll keep it.
Good for you. Your excitement is infectious. Know you’ll have a blast on it. Just be careful. We want you and Jax forever! BTW we all miss him. 🐱 you’ve come a long way. Proud of you. 🤗🙋🏼♀️
Ron Hall ....lol as a a kid me and my friends would sneak out on my moms rebel (yes my moms rebel) and take it out into the dirt . Foot dragging, and flat tracking
Eric it was your video that convinced me to buy the ebike . It finally arrived yesterday! It is sooo much fun, I know I will never regret my choice, because it goes literally everywhere at safe speeds. But I wish you all the best with your new Honda!
Good to get confirmation that they are shipping. I am supposed to get one in September sometime. I did s short demo ride on one and it was a kick. That is great you are enjoying it.
he has something until that something doesn't go where he'd like it to..then we get another video like this one,it's a pattern we've all noticed right?
Hello Eric. Hey Buddy, if the bike has two exhaust pipes and two mufflers, something tells me it just might have two pistons. So it's a two cylinder engine. I'd look into that. For the sake of maintenance and repairs. But hey ,congrats. Enjoy.
Kool dude. Almost got a shadow but if i did I'd never be home. Great buy Eric just be careful its the crazy drivers you need to watch out for. Kudos my friend
Hey brother, nice having a bike to get around. But you need a full helmet and leather gloves. Hands are the first thing to hit the pavement. Theres a saying......... Theres 2 types of riders. The ones that have been down, And those that are going down. So be safe you rebel !!!!
I rode the Suzuki version of this bike in college (the GZ250). Great motorcycle! Fantastic gas mileage, could park it anywhere (in college, motorcycle permits were always available and allowed you to park right next to the buildings instead of a mile away and having to take the shuttle in), it could travel at highway speed--great choice, Eric!
Congratulations on the motorcycle, seems like the perfect size for all of your needs. Good luck with it. Thanks for sharing your journey, be well my friend.
Oh My! I loved my Rebel. Gosh, it's the best bike I ever rode. Good on gravel too. Your future rides will bring back so many good memories. Besides, it looks so cool. (by the way that was 50 years ago) Time flys!!!!
That Video made me miss riding and building motorcycles and as everyone has counted the cylinders I'll be the PIA about the shift lever it's not a clutch that's on the handle bars LOL.
Nice bike...I have never been on one and probably won't.. but I am glad you like it... that is all that matters.. Smart thinking on the lights.. looks good..
#355 "Then Came Eric" Reminds me of a old tv motorcycle show back in the 1970's. Just be careful riding it, and take care of the road surface. I rode the HD motorcycles and had much fun. Triumph's were fun, too!
yep kind of laughing because he mentions several times it is a single cylinder not a gaafe,,, on the other hand he is a small guy so the bike probably fells good to him great buy at $600
Eric this is a great bike ....these are all over in key west....I think it's perfect for what I are using it for....when your camping and you need to run to the store.......get you some saddle bags....make it sweet
I had a 86 rebel back in high school. Everyone loved that bike. I rode one a couple years ago again. Me being 5'11", it's way to small for me, but still a great bike. Can't go wrong with a Honda. I've owned several. Never an issue.
It's a gear shifter Eric, not a clutch pedal. Clutch is in your left hand. Twin cylinder too - big hint, two exhaust pipes. Minor details since you know how to ride. Nice bike, great deal.
My friend bought one for his wife, she was a beginner and also very short. The bike was perfect for her, she was able to ride around town and on the highway and it handled great! Honda's, (and Japanese manufacturers in general), are very reliable if maintained properly. I would suggest adding a gas additive to help clean the carburetor. NIce Bike!
I commend you on the lights and the plate. So many trailers and lawn mowing serviced don't have lights where you can see them. Good luck and happy riding.
Congratulations Eric! You didn't mention tires, as a long time bike rider (47 years) and owner of many bikes, first thing I always did was buy new tires! Buying a used bike is like wearing someone else's sneakers....we don't wear them out the same. Check the age of the tires too....I've purchased bikes with tires that looked great but were old and about to blow out! Be safe! GOD Bless. 🙏💕🙏
Never happy never satisfied. How long till you are bored with this before you sell it for something else. Start saving for your retirement. Can’t rely upon TH-cam forever
Deal Wolfstriked TH-cam can pull that rug faster than it will make your head spin. I don’t consider driving a RV up and down the coast lines a retirement plan. TH-cam can’t and won’t last forever. Hope he has a back up plan and I don’t mean Patreon.
Two, two, two cylinders in one! hahahah I'm glad he fixed the clutch pedal and adjusted the carb on the handle bar. A very fun bike all the same. Keep on truckin"!
Good for you. The Honda Rebel was a popular motorcycle for women when I first started riding. They are fun. My last bike was a 2005 Harley Davidson Lowrider. Nice to see you excited and happy. Say hello to Jax for all of us.
Aside from the technical mistakes, he did get Smoking deal on the rebel! You know their kinda like fat chicks, both fun to ride till your friends make fun of you.
Nice little scoot. I don't know if U plan on it, but U should get a passenger sissy bar, which will allow U to attach a bag to it for carrying things.....
Good for you! I've ridden motorcycles nearly 100,000 miles. 12,000 miles is NEW. I personally had a Honda Valkyrie over 50k miles and it was practically new. The Goldwing crowd thinks nothing of up to 100k.
When i graduated high school my step dad gave me a r.v and a motorcycle. Best gift ever! He knew i was a traveler.. And knew it would be cheeper to have a bike once i was parked to venture out with.

I said it's carburated, and then I reached up to the choke because that's what you'll do when you start it up. Nobody is going to go down and massage the carburetor before starting...
You said "the carb is up here" and reached for the choke on the bars. Anyway nice bike, stay safe & enjoy it.
Do not install an alarm. NOBODY wants to steal a Rebel 250. NOBODY. Plus, the extra weight will slow it down.
The alarm weighs 12oz. That's like 5 tater tots. And you make this claim despite all 3 of my last bikes being attempted stolen. All 3. Honda PCX scooter, Yamaha TW2000, and Honda Grom...

You said it was a single cylinder but it's a inline twin. Love your videos man. The rebel 250 is a great bike!
Only 1 cylinder works.
Are you disagreeing with Eric? If he says it’s a single, it’s a single! And it’s a clutch pedal, not a shifter!
The carburetor is on the handlebars! Haha
Eric, count your sparkplugs! Haha!
Just trying to help you bud! Be safe!
Understandable mistake - After all it is a rebel, runs about like that 125 single cylinder scooter lol
Aside from the technical mistakes, choke not carb, shifter not clutch:
He did get a smoking deal!
I mean really - a rebel is like a fat chick!
Both fun to ride till your friends find out 😂
@@SouthernEnduroRdr 😂🤣😂🤣
Roxy rocks! The low boy design is by far the most comfortable, lowers the center of gravity and improves handling dramatically. Have fun Eric.
Twin Cylinder..great buy! What you called the clutch pedal was the gear shifter. The choke is what you called the carburetor.

Yes, one cylinder on each side... Ans it has a nice note too, sounds like a 360o crank not the usual 180o Honda usually does.
I also agree that you now need a side car for Jax.
Great buy Eric, very clean machine. 12K miles is nothing. However, it's a SHIFT level, no clutch lever. It's a TWIN cylinder, not single. Great choice too, weight, seat height, price, power. Enjoy, and be careful!
You do know that's a twin cylinder motorcycle right you know one cylinder each side
Just pulling your leg . . . Ever see a carburetor on handlebars, or the shifter pedal he referred to as “clutch” ? He stokes his superiority complex by joshing us mere mortals. Sad . . but he’s gettng his clicks $ $ $ $

Eric that is a twin cylinder bike and your clutch pedal is called a gear shift
it is a single cylinder that has 2 plugs !!!My 2 cylinder 750 has 4 plugs !!! You need to research before putting a foot in yer mouth lol
actually just kidding , i also like the shift pedal being called a clutch !!!! :)
I loved my Rebel. I lovingly called it my Baby Bike. I didn't feel like it had enough power to safely ride the freeways in Vegas, but it definitely was a fun bike to scoot around on. Enjoy it.
Uh, Eric? At 5:55 that right there's a gear-shift pedal, not a clutch. Your left hand will pull the clutch.
Hello Eric, you can cover the tank scratches by adding a basket (or the like) for Jax to ride in. Now you need your colors, a large "NOMADIC FANATIC" patch like on the side of your RV to be sewn on your leather jacket.
Out here those Rebel bikes go from 2500 to over 6500, you got a killer deal.
Where's Jax the Cat sidecar?
lmao. I'd love to see that! 🖖🏼😺

Eric, you need to remember that the actual weight being applied to the receiver will be FAR FAR greater than 500lbs when you are going over the road. You will likely experience times where the downward forces will exceed even 1000+ lbs. I think you are risking a major failure of your rear receiver if you drive extended periods with that bike back there. I know some folks with Class A and Super Cs do this, but that's generally because they have a 800-1000lb hitch rating on a much larger receiver.
I was just wondering what you would think of this setup. Cool to know you watch his videos.
These are great little bikes. That is a clean low mileage bike. Keep the oil changed, clean fuel, good battery and it will serve you well.
You did good man, the foot lever is not a clutch it’s a “shift lever” and one the left grip it’s the “choke”, enjoy!!!!
Was gonna say. Never seen a clutch there.
Gorgeous bike, Eric! Ya had me a little nervous at first..all I could think was "Oh no, what did you buy, Eric..". Lol. I got really excited for you when you showed the bike! Lol
Always impressed by you're engineering skills. You should design an RV, you have so much insight
I guess I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Aden Valentin i dunno atm i have been using Flixportal. just search on google after it:P -avi
@Avi Creed Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Aden Valentin No problem :D
Very Cool Eric! I used to race motocross and also used to have an 81 Kawasaki KZ550 and it was so much fun to ride through the mountains and what not. Have fun, stay safe and I'm looking forward to your new adventures!
Nice ride, Eric! Be safe on that thing and don’t get any speeding tickets! Appreciate the update.🚜👍
Very nice and $600 is a great deal anytime of year! If it was maintained well 12k miles is nothing on a Honda, oh and it’s twin cylinder that’s why there is two pipes coming out of head, but that’s much better and last a lot longer than a single cylinder 👍
It's actually single cylinder with dual pistons. And I don't see any issues with the bike so far. It's fairly bulletproof.
Nomadic Fanatic no Bro, It’s called a straight twin, each piston has its own cylinder,. It’s a single carb straight twin, just ride it who cares what it is Anyway LOL 👍
That's a great buy, good for you, Have fun be safe.
Great find, Eric. That 250 Rebel is perfect for transporting from and back to your RV and around town. Great video. Keep up the good work.
You need a fork saver so when you boom it down on the hitch you don’t kill the forks.
syco133 them are awesome.
william wilkins I messed up a set of springs and blew a fork seal before I found out about them I’ll never strap a bike down without a fork saver again.
@@williamwilkins3323 Please tell us about the fork saver. I guess it's not the same as "save your fork for dessert", lol.
What is it, and how does it work?
Replying to myself; there are a lot of videos on TH-cam about this.
freewill1114 I’m not the one. Ask the guy that said it. @syco133 is one that said fork saver. So ask him.
Nice starter bike. Enough power to be fun but not enough power to get you into trouble. My recommendations..... Open face helmet with clear flip up face shield.

After a few minutes thought, now I give it a month or less. The e-bike is a much better investment for your style of travel.
Hey bud. Cover those wire completely with more of that black plastic wire cover. They have it at oreileys. Thanks for being you!
I bought a Rebel to ride on my motorcycle license test. It is a great riding bike and there is always a market for resale. Congratulations.
Honda Rebel 250 is a twin cylinder 18.5 Horse Power! Your Killing me!
There is no way to squeeze 78 mph out of that thing. My wife had one, outgrew it fast.
@@bobberguy1 Maybe downhill! lol
Good for you. Your excitement is infectious. Know you’ll have a blast on it. Just be careful. We want you and Jax forever! BTW we all miss him. 🐱 you’ve come a long way. Proud of you. 🤗🙋🏼♀️
That's gear shifter, not a clutch pedal.
Hi! I'm watching you now in Texas at 2:55 am , loving the new ride! G-D continues to bless you...
Sorry, I would never have any non offload bike on my camper. TW200 was the best bike you ever owned.
don't need a collection. They sell pink Tassles and a little bell on ebay for like $4 shipped.
Ron Hall ....lol as a a kid me and my friends would sneak out on my moms rebel (yes my moms rebel) and take it out into the dirt . Foot dragging, and flat tracking

Good to get confirmation that they are shipping. I am supposed to get one in September sometime. I did s short demo ride on one and it was a kick. That is great you are enjoying it.
Bets on how long Eric keeps this one? Haha! Enjoy it Eric!
6 months
What man on earth does not get board with something and gets something new? Okay bet 4 months.
he has something until that something doesn't go where he'd like it to..then we get another video like this one,it's a pattern we've all noticed right?
Put me down for 6 weeks.
90 days, tops.
Just a quick note... congratulations and stay safe and happy travels.
Way to go Eric! I had a Honda Rebel, it was an Awesome machine & I miss it. Ride safe!
Hello Eric.
Hey Buddy, if the bike has two exhaust pipes and two mufflers, something tells me it just might have two pistons.
So it's a two cylinder engine.
I'd look into that. For the sake of maintenance and repairs.
But hey ,congrats.
Enjoy.
Hi!
Kool dude. Almost got a shadow but if i did I'd never be home. Great buy Eric just be careful its the crazy drivers you need to watch out for. Kudos my friend
just wanted to add, you can put some dual purpose tires on it to make it usable on dirt roads. I have done this in past.
Hey brother, nice having a bike to get around. But you need a full helmet and leather gloves. Hands are the first thing to hit the pavement.
Theres a saying.........
Theres 2 types of riders.
The ones that have been down,
And those that are going down.
So be safe you rebel !!!!
Agree I would/do gear up like Rocketman its fun and cool in my book.
I rode the Suzuki version of this bike in college (the GZ250). Great motorcycle! Fantastic gas mileage, could park it anywhere (in college, motorcycle permits were always available and allowed you to park right next to the buildings instead of a mile away and having to take the shuttle in), it could travel at highway speed--great choice, Eric!
I can't be excited, because it won't be around long, you never keep them.
i just dont care
He still has it, a year later.
Congratulations on the motorcycle, seems like the perfect size for all of your needs. Good luck with it. Thanks for sharing your journey, be well my friend.
Wow! A bunch of insomniacs like myself 😯! It’s 4:45 am and I still cannot sleep 💤
I'm up at 3 every day waiting lol
Have you got a cell phone on your nightstand? Wifi turned on In your house? Cell phone tower nearby? EMF's can affect your sleep and health.
Not on my watch
Congrats on your new purchase !! Have lots of fun and be safe !
Uh, Eric? That's a 234 cc straight-twin engine, NOT a single cylinder...
Oh My! I loved my Rebel. Gosh, it's the best bike I ever rode. Good on gravel too. Your future rides will bring back so many good memories. Besides, it looks so cool. (by the way that was 50 years ago) Time flys!!!!
That Video made me miss riding and building motorcycles and as everyone has counted the cylinders I'll be the PIA about the shift lever it's not a clutch that's on the handle bars LOL.
That's cool. I'm not into motors, more like into things you can pedal off-road, but I can feel the sense of freedom you're getting. Ride safely.
Your YT revenue must be getting good new drone and now a new used bike
Nice bike...I have never been on one and probably won't.. but I am glad you like it... that is all that matters.. Smart thinking on the lights.. looks good..
You stressed twice that the Rebel is a single cylinder. Go back and count again........
Aircraft regularly have two plugs per cylinder, but two exhaust pipes per cylinder seems a bit much, as Radar said....
#355 "Then Came Eric" Reminds me of a old tv motorcycle show back in the 1970's. Just be careful riding it, and take care of the road surface. I rode the HD motorcycles and had much fun. Triumph's were fun, too!
yep kind of laughing because he mentions several times it is a single cylinder not a gaafe,,, on the other hand he is a small guy so the bike probably fells good to him great buy at $600
Eric this is a great bike ....these are all over in key west....I think it's perfect for what I are using it for....when your camping and you need to run to the store.......get you some saddle bags....make it sweet
Nice bike! The ramp is awesome, I use the same one for my FZ-09 on our RV.
I had a 86 rebel back in high school. Everyone loved that bike. I rode one a couple years ago again. Me being 5'11", it's way to small for me, but still a great bike. Can't go wrong with a Honda. I've owned several. Never an issue.
Of course ... you should !! Have that motorbike ... and have a heck of a time with it ...Bud !!
It's a gear shifter Eric, not a clutch pedal. Clutch is in your left hand. Twin cylinder too - big hint, two exhaust pipes. Minor details since you know how to ride. Nice bike, great deal.
That bike is perfect for a nice petite red head..😂👍
It's a bitch bike
Looking good. That’s what I have and love it. I put a basket on the back for food pick. Have be safe..
Congratulations bro 😁👍👍 great tool to have ! Love the gas mileage .
Awesome man. Good to be on 2 wheels. Fun times. Motorcycles are a blast. Have fun and stay safe.
Lol I knew you could not resist getting a new bike👍🏻
My friend bought one for his wife, she was a beginner and also very short. The bike was perfect for her, she was able to ride around town and on the highway and it handled great! Honda's, (and Japanese manufacturers in general), are very reliable if maintained properly. I would suggest adding a gas additive to help clean the carburetor. NIce Bike!
You talk so fast when you are excited and happy...good to hear
Hell yea! Congrats man!
Neat bike, great deal!! Looking forward to cruising around vids.
I commend you on the lights and the plate. So many trailers and lawn mowing serviced don't have lights where you can see them. Good luck and happy riding.
Hey Eric Enjoy Your New Bike, Have Fun 👍...Wife and I missed Jax though 😺 💕☺☺
Congratulations Eric!
You didn't mention tires, as a long time bike rider (47 years) and owner of many bikes, first thing I always did was buy new tires! Buying a used bike is like wearing someone else's sneakers....we don't wear them out the same. Check the age of the tires too....I've purchased bikes with tires that looked great but were old and about to blow out!
Be safe!
GOD Bless. 🙏💕🙏
Magnetic Tank Bag will cover the scratches
Awesome Sauce! What a Steal! 250cc will work all day long! Not much off-roading like the TW but, you do what Eric does!!! Right!!!
Never happy never satisfied. How long till you are bored with this before you sell it for something else. Start saving for your retirement. Can’t rely upon TH-cam forever
Wait this isn't his retirement?
Deal Wolfstriked TH-cam can pull that rug faster than it will make your head spin. I don’t consider driving a RV up and down the coast lines a retirement plan. TH-cam can’t and won’t last forever. Hope he has a back up plan and I don’t mean Patreon.
I used to own a Honda Rebel. .. happy memories. Mine was red. fantastic classic. You rock! Enjoy.the ride.
Very cool, congratulations!
Two, two, two cylinders in one! hahahah I'm glad he fixed the clutch pedal and adjusted the carb on the handle bar. A very fun bike all the same. Keep on truckin"!
Eric, single cylinder motors only have one exhaust pipe the Rebel has two! Thanks bud!
Good for you. The Honda Rebel was a popular motorcycle for women when I first started riding. They are fun. My last bike was a 2005 Harley Davidson Lowrider. Nice to see you excited and happy. Say hello to Jax for all of us.
Aside from the technical mistakes, he did get Smoking deal on the rebel!
You know their kinda like fat chicks, both fun to ride till your friends make fun of you.
Nice little scoot. I don't know if U plan on it, but U should get a passenger sissy bar, which will allow U to attach a bag to it for carrying things.....
Some lady's here in pa would be insalted by such a small bike lol
I have the same one..great bike to get around in.
Good for you! I've ridden motorcycles nearly 100,000 miles. 12,000 miles is NEW. I personally had a Honda Valkyrie over 50k miles and it was practically new. The Goldwing crowd thinks nothing of up to 100k.
Love the bike! Now, enough with the stuff! Are you going anywhere?
