The Honda CMX250C, also known as the Rebel 250 or Honda Peronist, was a cruiser-style motorcycle made by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda on and off since 1985. The bike was part of the CM series of cruisers powered by the same 234cc engine used on the Honda Nighthawk 250 standard model.
In 2012, Honda launched the Rebel 250 CMX250C, which for several years was the favorite among entry-level street riders, with its good looks, comfortable seating position, lightweight, easy maneuverability, and durability.
The 2012 Rebel featured a semi-double cradle frame that offered a long wheelbase and a very low seating position, with a hydraulic fork on the front and a rectangular-section swingarm with dual shock absorbers and five-position spring preload adjustability on the rear.
Also, the bike rolled on a set of wire-spoked wheels with chromed rims fitted with a 240 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper on the front, and a drum unit on the rear that provided optimum braking performance.
In addition, the model packed a custom-styled chrome-plated headlight case, chrome-plated taillight housing, chrome-plated turn signal housings, simple instrumentation, and a maintenance-free battery.
In the performance department, the 2012 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C was powered by a 234cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 19 hp at 8,250 rpm and 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) of torque with maximum strength at 5,500 rpm.
