HONDACMX250 Rebel 1985 - 1987

　　The Honda CMX250 was a cruiser-style motorcycle made by Honda, also known as the Rebel 250 or Honda Peronist, powered by a 234cc straight-twin engine and manufactured on and off from 1985.

　　It packed the same engine as the Honda Nighthawk 250 standard model and was part of the CM series of cruiser machines. The bike was manufactured between 1985 to 1987, 1996 to 1997, and 1999 to 2016. It was commonly used by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation as a certified rider-training machine.

　　Also, the CMX250 Rebel was used by the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, from the 1980s, replacing Vespa scooters. In 2000, the bike was replaced with Harley-Davidson XL883 Sportsters, which delivered more power, durability, and visibility.

　　When the Rebel was first released, Motorcyclist magazine said, "By targeting the bike to a young audience, such as those who watch MTV, Honda hopes to attract newcomers and expand the motorcycle market ... Honda is not marketing this motorcycle as a woman's bike."

　　The 234cc straight-twin air-cooled engine fitted on the 1985 Honda CMX250 Rebel delivered an output power of 16 poneys at 8,250 rpm and 17 Nm (12 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.

　　The double cradle tubular steel frame was fitted with a 33 mm fork, providing 120 mm of wheel travel as front suspension. The rear suspension was handled by dual shock absorbers with five-position spring preload adjustability.
