Hello everyone! My wife (pillion) and I (rider) just took our 2009 Honda Rebel 250 through several states and countries! Our trip started in Arizona and drove through, New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. On the way back home, we did the same in reverse (minus El Salvador and Belize). The entire trip was ~14,000 miles and took about 3 1/2 months.
The purpose of this post is to express and share my love for this bike. Not a single time did we ever run into any failures or issues. Our Rebel got us through so much madness!! Like the time we had to ride through dense traffic in Mexico City or drive for hours down and up extremely steep hills in Guatemala or ride through endless tropical rainstorms in Panama and even proved to be off-road capable by riding through at least a thousand miles of bumpy dirt roads throughout Central America.
If anyone is every doubting the reliability or concerned that this bike can't handle these type of rides.... I can assure you, the Rebel is practically indestructible Maybe everyone already knew that?
For proof, I am sharing some pictures of the trip:
At the border of Panama and Costa Rica
At the border of Honduras and Nicaragua
Taking a breather in a small town in Honduras
Literally rode on a beach in Costa Rica
At the border between Guatemala and Mexico
In front of a jungle cat caution sign (you don't see this in the U.S.A!!)
The Rebel in front of an active volcano in Nicaragua
