FIRST LOOK
H
onda revealed the all-new Rebel 300
and Rebel 500, both available with or
without ABS.
These Rebels have nothing in common
with the previous Rebel models, as these
machines are truly all-new from the ground
up. The Rebel 300 is fitted with a 286cc
single, the same engine that powers the
CBR300R, and the Rebel 500 is fitted with
a 471cc parallel twin, the same engine that
powers the CBR650F.
The bikes are designed with the entry-level
rider in mind, and also for those who are sim-
ply looking for something that's practical, fun,
easy to ride and inexpensive to get around
town on. And, of course, for those looking for
something they can customize to the tilt.
Tentative pricing is $4399 for the Rebel
300 and $5999 for the Rebel 500. Availabil-
ity is April 2017. CN
