The '''[[Honda]] CMX250 Rebel''' was a twin, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] between 1981 and 2005. It could reach a top speed of 66 mph (106 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 12.76 ft/lbs (17.3 Nm) @ 5500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 17.03 HP (12.7 KW) @ 8250 RPM.
The CM250C lesson: A little larceny goes a long way.
Let's talk sexist. A man's best friend is an understanding woman who, in hard
times, is a) independently wealthy, or b) working steadily, and/or c) willing to
co-sign. One of the greatest barriers to buying a new motorcycle is a perfectly
lovely woman in all respects except that she regards motorcycles in the same
class as cockroaches and poisonous snakes.
Now let's talk sense. First, promise the WIYL (woman in your life) that
you'll do lunch or have dinner with her. Carefully select a restaurant in the
vicinity of a trendy Honda dealership, and then arrive at the restaurant by way
of that dealer. Second, since she'll expect to be bored to tears while you're
browsing for your new bike, surprise her. Show her something she could
enjoy.
Male or female, any beginner needs a Dumb-Proof motorcycle, and the CM250C is
certainly that. If you can identify where to put your body on it, you
probably know enough to own it. How hard, you ask her, could this be? Electric
starting. Electronic ignition.
By Honda standards the CM250C is about as complicated as a screwdriver. It
has an 180-degree vertical twin engine with a single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder, two 26mm slide-valve carburetors and chain final
drive. The front fork is a simple telescopic, hydraulic unit; the rear shocks
have five-position spring preload.
The CM250 is also sized for fun, for those who feel intimidated by bulk.
Beginners will tell you that security is having both feet flat on the ground
when the motorcycle is stopped, and the Custom's saddle height is just over 29
inches. At a bit over 300 pounds, the CM can be supported easily by those flat
feet. And getting the Custom under way is no biggie either. The controls—
clutch, brake and throttle are all light.
The CM250 Custom allows you to appear as savvy as the branch manager of a
liquidating company and as warm-hearted as the bank's oldest loan officer when,
in fact, you're nothing but a cheap snake. The 1982 CM250C rolled into showrooms
carrying a $1448 price tag, which has shriveled to $1176. What fun. What
savings. Whatta genius.
So do a lunch and make a little conversation with your favorite person about
the new Honda in her future . . . and, ah, oh . . . the other new one in yours.
A little larceny, you see, goes a long way.
