Im 6'6" and even I have room to drive in the 4 door tacoma. Just got my first at 260k and it drove straight for about 3/4 mile before i had to lightly adjust.

It’s been a while since you made this video, just curious, how has the truck held up for you? I’m close to pulling the trigger on a gen 2 Tacoma. Yeah I know they freaking cost a bunch of money for High mileage, but in my research, they are worth it. Enjoyed your review!

“Everybody hates you when you are on a moped”. 😂😂. I’m pretty sure that even moped riders have hidden self loathing.

I own a old Rebel (86) for 30 years. It was my beginner bike and i kept it as my city bike, when i bought bigger cruiser (Shadow, Vulcan ). For daily, short rides through the city it is fantastic. And the tax and insurance so low, that it is easy, to own it as second bike. Ride on!

Would you ride 2 up on it

My Eiger has 30000 kilometres on clock.Runs like a Swiss watch

I paid 1700 for mine no issues runs great bought it 2024 agust 1

Did you have to oil that filter

Thanks! Very helpful!

What size tires?

What’s the mileage on your Tacoma now?

You’re exactly right. If you’re about 150-160 like me this bike is absolutely perfect. Even for an experienced rider. It’s easy to drive easy to ride. Easy to learn on. I push it to 85 miles an hour on the highway. That’s wide-open but I can take it everywhere. Not crazy traffic but normal highways. You can run a few exits. But I wouldn’t go hard for long. Plus, it’s a very light bite and the wind will knock you off.

Same 09 and yes it screams down Houston highways and it’ll go faster than 85 all about jetting the carb bright for your area but I’ve never had an issue riding it that fast

Good review do you still like it or is broke down??

I'm 6.2 tall and 185 pounds. Foot size is 13 for shoe size. I feel like this bike is a no no for me... :(

Adjust the handlebars

Nice gloves, how much were they?

4 wheeler wasn't made for 2 people.

These are a REALLY nice choice for a city commuter for someone who wants a MOTORCYCLE.

I am an old(ish) man. I grew up with carburetors and analog audio/video. As much as a "dig" the old days..., Many things ARE better now. Fuel Injection (and digital audio/video) are BETTER.

The Rebel is in a category name I came up with... which it kind of powns... the pony bike. Between a mopend and a cruiser with some of the benefits of both. Easy to ride, easy to work on, easy to push around when you have to move it, cheap to maintain, just all around great. Going from my 750 Shadow to the Rebel, it's like night and day what a thrill it is to flick the Rebel around, which is why I'll never sell mine. Your butt with go numb on any bike, and you can adjust the suspension on the rear forks by turning them at the base. The only con to the Rebel is it's not cut out for interstate speeds. You can do the interstate between a couple of exits no probably, but you don't want to drive all day on the interstate on one. Not that it won't do it, it just gets irksome to have everyone always passing you. That being said, most of the time you won't be doing the interstate unless you go traveling or on long trips a lot. Most people stay local. When and if you move up to a larger bike, you'll suddenly run into a lot of things that swck. The engines are more complicated, harder to work on, there's more emissions control rubbish and safety switches on them, the parts for them cost a lot more... esp. the tires... they are heavy and not easy to push around off the highway when they die, etc. Only then you'll see wow, the Rebel has some strengths a big bike with more power and speed... can't compete with. Gas mileage, ease of working on, cost of parts, pushability.

Me having mine on 35s with a lift getting 9

The Rebel is a great bike . I have one here in the UK . I have owned many bikes but this is my favorite . Very comfortable and so easy to manage and maintain . They look good too. Not fast by any means but not everyone wants speed . Don't know if you still have yours but I hope you enjoyed it .

When I was young a Harley only had a three speed gearbox and the Japanese bikes like Honda had a four speed gearbox. I think the five speed is pefect for the 250cc Rebel because they don't have a load of torque. If you had a six speed it wouldn't be able to keep a steady speed, it would actually lose speed in a six gear. I know I've done this kind of thing before by changing spockets. I've owned motorcycles since 1967, mainly Japanese bikes and four Harleys. Now that I'm old and my wife has some seriuous health issues and can no longer ride with me I find myself looking at 250cc Rebels again. I just want to go for a spin once in a while. I know a 750cc Shadow is a lot better ride and can handle the highway better, but I don't want another V-Twin. I like the parallel twins for their smoothnest. I found a 2007 250cc Rebel with only 1700 miles and I am thinking about buying it. If I do I will install a small windscreen from Puig, just a little large than a flyscreen which will cut throught he air better with it than without it. And I plan on replacing the 33 tooth rear spocket with a 30 tooth rear spocket which will lower the RPM at highway speeds. I rarely go over 60 to 65 mph. By lowering the rpm at such speeds it will relieve the buzziness and I think at my age it's all I need. I was going to buy a red 2023 Triumph Speed Twin Chrome but once I paid all the fees I would have close to $13,000 in it. I can buy a Rebel, pay all the fees, windshield, and rear spocket for less than $2000. It's all I need to go for a spin once in a while. By the way, I had a 2002 Suzuki 1500cc Intruder and put 87,300 miles on it and never had any trouble with the carbs. I've rode well over 300,000 miles on motorcycles and the only carb trouble I ever had is when I bought a use bike that already had carb trouble. I would repair them, ride them for a while and then sell them. The worst I ever had were Yamaha's althought the last Harley ($37,000) broke down four times within the first year of ownership. No more Yamahas or Harleys for me.

I ride a Harley now but way back in the day I had some similar experiences on a KZ 550. It was like a little bagger, excellent for city riding and dicking around. The freeway was a different story. This thing would go 70 clocking around 12 grand! Super scary! I am 6' 2", so even on the Softail I have super long highway pegs.

I bought mine new in 2002 and it's a tank! Love the manual transmission.

I bought a honda navi not caring about the speed. Took it to work 1 day. made my 1hr drive 3.5hrs. The next week I got a 300cc, now I got a v star 650 and I'm happy.

Beautiful pick up. 2nd Gen. Is truly the best gen.

Dude I have 27 x14 mayhems on mine no power issue

Dude,, it's not a foot shift.. it's a 2 speed cvt automatic.. I have had 2 of these..

It's a great beginner bike and a its a great bike to just slow down on if your at an age were you gotta relax and just cruise at safe speeds its versatile and its awesome and it's cheap I just recently picked up a 2015 cmx 250 rebel myself all stock 2800 miles on it and it's gonna be my first bike bought and my last bike to sell I posted some pics on my channel if anyone would like to check it out I'll be posting riding videos eventually hence why I made this channel

I bought an 05 foot shift with 1400 miles. Paid a little too much according to your estimation, paid the pandemic tax. Prices on all quads have come way down. It has a winch, led light upgrade, a lift kit, and new tires. I use it on a farm and love it.

Ive had 2 Great machines!!

Shout out to eric the car guy l o l I follow him as well

12,800 looks like a steal nowadays lol

The Honda Rebel/CM250 is a commuter bike, not a cruiser or sportster.

Excellent review!

Im starting to like this 4 wheeler. I always tend to lean on older technology. Hopefully i can find one for a good price.

great video. Im gonna get one

can you drive uphill easilly ? or i will have 10 cars behind me ?

Trash

I’m about to buy one tomorrow…

great video.....don't change a thing. you sold me on the rebel.

It won't go 85 on its own...maybe 75. I love my Rebel 250. Use a quality fuel preservative for storage and keep the battery topped up in storage.

I have a few bikes just picked up a rebel 250 fun little bike

Good video. My Blazer is due for CV's and axle seals.

“ $12800. U hit the lotto “

Thanks for the video. I’m about to buy one off of my friend with 6k miles and a trailer for 2k.

I got myself a 1985 bobber style rebel 250 and I absolutely LOVE IT ! Best bikes for small females to start up on !

Great review... Real talk helps alot 😊
