The Honda CMX450 "Rebel" was a motorcycle manufactured by Honda for model | |||
It | years 1986 and 1987. In contrast to the Rebel 250 250cc cruiser, it has a 450cc | ||
motor. The introduction of the Rebel 250 and 450 has been cited as a way for | |||
Honda to attract female riders, new to motorcycling, due to these bikes' low | |||
seat heights, low center of gravity, and overall ease of handling;[2] however, | |||
the September 1985 issue of Motorcyclist magazine, when the Rebel was first | |||
introduced, states "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".[3] It has a single | |||
disc brake in the front and a drum in the rear. The only gauge is a speedometer | |||
that includes gear recommendations based on speed; there is no tachometer. The | |||
transmission is a standard down-1st, up-2nd to 6th. The 6th speed acts as an | |||
overdrive. | |||
