Fred's Rebels

Fred's Rebels Fred finds, restores and sells Honda Rebel motorcyclyes. The bikes that Run, Ride and Look like new. The Rebel came in a 250CC and 450CC configuration.

The Honda Rebel was produced for the first time in 1985 and followed with years 1986 and 1987. The 450 however was produced only in years 1986 and 1987. Harley Davidson sued Honda because they felt that the Honda Rebel infringed on the Harley design and sound. This caused Honda to cease Rebel production after 1987. Fact or Fiction? This just adds to the mystique of these model years. Honda Began m

anufacturing the Rebel 250CC model again in 1996 and continues today. However, they do not have the look of their predecessors. Chrome side covers have been replaced with plastic. The side cover no longer carries the Rebel Badge. The 450CC model was never resurrected and the 1986 Limited Edition 250CC model has been completely eliminated. We specialize in the earlier year Rebels because of their charm, mystique, and look. We spend considerable time finding and refurbishing them. Many motorcycle training facilities utilize the Honda Rebel 250CC as their training bike of choice because of their ease of handling and their reliability. Honda has always been a leader in reliability.

As promised the 1985 Honda Rebel 250 headed for Ohio.

04/07/2023

It’s been a while since my last post, mainly because of the pandemic and the changes of what I’m doing these days. Just about all the bikes that I restore now are based on customer requests. I resently restored a 1985 Black Honda Rebel CMX250 for a customer in Ohio who last year also ordered a 1987 Red Honda Rebel CMX450. I will post pics of these bikes below.
I’m currently working on another Red 450 for a gentleman who resides in Durham, NC.
The lure for these original Rebels still continues and if you’re interested as a collector or rider, I’ll find and restore one for you.
Seems Facebook will only allow one video per post so I’ll follow up with the Rebel 250 video.

Spring is coming and Covid is going (YES), and along with spring comes riding. Bikes are being readied, batteries getting charged and the itch to ride is upon us.
Fred’s Rebels is putting the final touches on his Honda Rebels for those who want to join in on the passion to ride. I offer affordable, trouble free rides that look and ride like new. If you’re looking for a Honda Rebel, either 250 or 450, I’ll have bikes available April 1st. The 250 is the choice of most training facilities because of their ease in handling and reliability, and with gas prices soaring, this is an idea time to consider one of these high miles-per-gallon alternatives.
See you April 1st.

I received a comment on a recent post that I thought I would share. It seems like we all are dealing with this virus in different ways. Mike Hartley thought I should show what Fred’s Rebels is working on to shift your focus from bad news to brighter days. Days that can be enjoyed outdoors, being with friends and family and/or riding the open road. So Mike, here’s what I’ve been working on that will be available when this virus subsides. The silver and black bikes are Rebel 450’s and the red is a 250.
