2012 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C Review


Own the road for less than you think.


For years and years, the Rebel has remained a favorite among entry-level street riders-and for good reason. Its stylish good looks maintain an enduring appeal, it's comfortable, light in weight and easy to maneuver, and its durability has grown to legendary proportions. Whether you're running errands around town or heading out of town for a riding adventure, the tough Rebel serves as a great riding partner.


Whether you’re looking for classic cruiser styling, a fuel-efficient commuter, or flat-out fun, all roads lead to the Rebel. It boasts a 234cc four-stroke engine that’s approachable enough for new riders, yet powerful enough for more experienced motorcyclists. A low seat height that is both comfortable and confidence inspiring. A five-speed transmission that’s pretty much foolproof. And an electric starter that gets you going with the push of a button. Plus, you get the kind of reliability and low maintenance Honda is known for – all at a shockingly low price. No wonder the Rebel has long been one of our best selling bikes.


Features and Benefits


- Matte Silver and Candy Red colors.


Low rider.
Everything about the Rebel is superbly crafted with the rider in mind, including the sub-27” seat height, allowing you to put both feet flat on the ground at stops.


Style meets savings.
Sure, the Rebel has classic cruiser looks. But even more, it gets a phenomenal 84 miles per gallon*, so you can cruise by the pumps and look good in the process. *Honda’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.


Power when you need it.
The proven four-stroke powerplant is perfectly suited for the 250-class Rebel, giving you smooth riding in the city, and a powerful punch on the highway.


Performance, Style and Value Comes in All Sizes.
Performance isn't just about power, although the Honda Rebel has it in ample supply. Handling, comfort, fit and finish, advanced technology—like our three-valve cylinder-head design … it's all part of the Honda Rebel. And that's precisely why, when you're looking for a new cruiser, Honda's not only the best choice—it's the only choice.

The Honda DN-01 concept motorbike was first shown at the 2005 Tokyo motorshow

The DN-O1 is powered by a 680 cc V-twin four stroke engine running through a continuously variable automatic transmission, which can be switched to a six speed manual transmission controlled by gear selection buttons on the handlebars.

Honda is continuing to develop the DN-01 concept for possible future production.

If you were wondering, DN-01 stands for the first - 01 - vehicle developed under Honda’s Dream New - DN - concept philosophy

Honda Introduces “DN-01” Concept Motorcycle at Tokyo Motor Show, A Large-size Sports Bike with an Automatic Transmission

At the 39th Tokyo Motor Show 2005, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today introduced a large-size sports motorcycle concept model, DN-01**, equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission and a water-cooled, 4-stroke, OHC, V-type, 2-cylinder, 680cc engine. Honda will continue the development of DN-01 with the goal of introducing it to the market in the near future.

DN-01 is being developed in the concept of a comfortable sports cruiser, with the goal of creating new value for the customer by proposing a new level of riding pleasure. The newly adopted hydraulic mechanical continuously variable HFT (Human Fitting Transmission) system features two types of full automatic modes as well as a 6-speed manual mode which the rider operates through buttons located on the handle. Moreover, this is the first hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission system in the world to be equipped with a lock-up mechanism, which improves the fuel efficiency while offering a smooth ride without feeling the shock normally associated with gear shifts, even when cornering. With the HFT, the DN-01 achieves more easy-to-operate and comfortable riding than currently available sports model motorcycles.

The 39th Tokyo Motor Show 2005 will open its doors to the general public beginning Saturday, October 22, in Makuhari, Chiba. Honda will present a motorcycle display booth with the theme of “Dream Wings.” The theme represents Honda’s effort to make people-motorcycle relationships more dream-inspiring and to propose a new level of riding pleasure with new values Honda will create.

** DN-01 stands for the first (01) vehicle developed under Honda’s Dream New (DN) concept

Honda showed their E4-01 concept scooter at Milan, which will hopefully be offered to urban commuters within a year or two. The E4-01 looks like a sooter but features a 903cc engine, shaft drive, auto gearbox, single-sided swingarm and an innovative screen design that channels air directly upwards, and away from, the rider. It also gets a clear display panel that boasts built in sat-nav, a boot that opens and closes at the touch of a button with room for two lids, plus an airbag under the bars. The bike/scooter hybrid is reported to weigh around 200kgs and runs 17 inch wheels, to give motorcycle type handling. But will it sell here in the UK? Large scooters like the Silver Wing and T-Max have done OK, but not tempted many touring riders away from conventional bikes. Arguably, you could commute cheaper and tour in more comfort on a Deauville, than an E4-01 machine - it might be cheaper to buy a Deauville then add Tom Tom sat nav for another 300 notes too..? The E4-01 is likely to be popular in Italy and France, where maxi scooters are strong sellers, but Brit commuters might find it too expensive and lacking that familiar motorcycle `feeling.' Production of the E4-01 is expected to commence for the 2007 model year, depending on reaction to the concept scooter/bike at various shows.
