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.

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.

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.
