Harley boys laughing....
They were laughing at my 2007 Honda Rebel. Was at a bike rodeo this past weekend and they came rolling in and just so happened parked by my bike, and immediately started pointing and laughing, lol. I am proud of my lil red bike, I really like it. It's gets knocked often. I ride her proudly!!!!!

They might have been just a bit entertained about how cute the rebel looks compared to the big'uns. It does have some Harley lines to it. But a rider who says, "Ha Ha you have a smaller engine than me!" is simply a nit wit nimrod dip wad with nothing else sizable in his life. You have the advantage in many areas, the 250 can be pushed manually on sand and grass. You can go nearly three times farther on a gallon. Your engine is probably the THE most proven and dependable in the world. and it's easier to work on... maintain it--make it last and take my word for it, no matter what you ride there will always be machines that are greater and lesser than yours. They are all built for having fun.

That sounds like a fair law suit. Despite the overall quality of the Rebel, I've always been curious as to why they had to make it look like a harley. I wish the Rebel had its very own lines and design. What gives?

At the time it was a good move for honda, its started them moving up in the big bike market.

Besides, I ride a Wide Glide and my daughter rides the 450 rebel, and I love the way they look parked next to each other!
