HONDARebel 250 CMX250C 2013 - 2014

　　In 2014, Honda launched the Rebel 250 also known as the CMX250C, a compact, lightweight, low, and versatile machine that suited best as an entry-level bike for new riders but also offered a very economical alternative to big-bore bikes or cars during the warm season.

　　The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. started using the Rebel 250 in the early 1980s when they replaced Vespa scooters, but in the mid-2000s, the Rebel 250 was replaced with the Harley-Davidson XL 883 Sportsters that delivered more power, durability, and visibility.

　　The bike packed a semi-double cradle frame with a long wheelbase and a low seating position that made the model an ideal entry-level machine, while the suspension was composed of a hydraulic fork on the front and a rectangular-section swingarm with dual shock absorbers and five-position spring preload adjustability on the rear.

　　In the braking department, the Rebel featured a 240 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper on the front, and a drum unit on the rear that provided optimum braking power, fitted on a set of wire-spoked wheels with chrome-plated rims.

　　As for power, the 2014 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C had its soul brought to life 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.

　　In addition, the bike packed a bunch of chrome-plated elements, such as the custom-styled headlight case, taillight housing, and turn signal housings, along with simple instrumentation and a maintenance-free battery.
