The Honda Rebel is an entry level cruiser that has a 234cc four stroke parallel twin cylinder engine with a five speed transmission that is easy to handle. It has a simple push button electric start. a constant-velocity (CV) carburetor which helps with quick throttle response and also supplies an estimated whopping 84 miles per gallon on the road. The Honda Rebel is a great first ride that is comfortable and easy to handle for even new riders. It was my first starter bike and it's never been dropped. lol!
