Well done Squid! After 70+ Years of motorcycling, with various British and Japanese motorcycles, my present little 1996 Honda 250 Rebel fits my bill nicely! It is now a classic cruiser motorcycle, simple and uncomplicated, with no unnecessary frills, and with its low, 320Lbs weight, and both feet firmly planted, is always easy to manage! perfect for local runs, and trips around the local countryside! I purchased a complete OEM exhaust system from Japan, to replace the rusty one, which cost me £600/750 USD! At 89 years age now my trusty Honda Rebel will last me out now! A wonderful purchase and she always brings a big grin to my face every time I ride her. Take care, all...!
Awesome share.
I rode a 85

@@TheHonestTruth Many thanks! The '85 model was the first Rebel, and was a Honda "copy" of the 1982 Harley-Davidson FXWG Wide Glide! (with a different engine!!). It was re-introduced in 1996 (the model I have) and continued in production until 2016, replaced by the Rebel 300cc Single, and the Rebel 500cc Parallel Twin. The 1985-2016 Rebels were, and are, the Classic Honda Rebel models! Take care!
I restored a really beat up rebel 250 and still currently restoring it. It was first blowing blue smoke carbs are out and done for forks are leaking lights are out all rear. Now all of that has been fixed mostly by myself.
Fired right up!!
If it was me I would look for some chrome exhaust tip resonators or mini mufflers that I could just add to ends of what is left of the exhaust pipes.
That’s a good tip.
@@motardsquid😂 nice pun
Get the smaller speedo and cable for it,turn the bike into a bobber
This sounds lit 🔥😱😱👌🔥😎😍❤👍😇👏👌
Just got the new motor on mine but was sent the wrong carb so I gots to buy everything for that as well as a new light control switch and eventually new blinkers cause two don’t work
The rebel 300 still exists
Where did you buy and how much did you spend for it
You need rubber o rings for side covers
Are there any junkyards by you? Maybe you could pick up some of the stuff you need there.
Thats a good suggestions. I think there are just car junkyards, never seen a bike one.
@@motardsquid they might have bike odds and ends - can't hurt to ask.
are 50.000 km a lot for an used rebel 250??
Not really. Its a simple air cooled engine that has been proven very reliable. This one has 20k miles. And the engine and transmission sound new
Hey bro do you want to trade for a dh mountain bike?
