Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by Dave on 03/22/16 at 07:58:55 He should stop riding that little bike on those "wide open" roads. He would be passed less quickly and far less often if he stayed in town.....or in State Parks (Oldfeller would probably still zoom past him). |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by Art Webb on 03/22/16 at 08:10:12 If you want fast, what you don't buy is any Cruiser of COURSE 600 supersports will eat your lunch, dink, it's a Rebel don't get me wrong, a Rebel is a very good bike all the way up to 60 it WILL do 70 all day long as long as you're not climbing hills or fighting headwinds then it needs 4th gear and REVS he's really not pushing that little rebel |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by MMRanch on 03/22/16 at 08:27:34 I had a rebel for a bit . It was just fine till I'd hit a hill. Really I don't enjoy seed over 65 or 70 mph , don't understand anybody wanting to go faster on a regular basis ? :-? |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by Art Webb on 03/22/16 at 08:38:30 depends on the bike put m,e on a rebel 70 is 'plenty' on a Savage, ditto on my Ninja500? 80-100 even on the scootanic I roll 80 regularly I won't own a GSXR because I KNOW I would try to use it all and I would die :-X |

Oohhh.... you are sooo in for it! naw... yer not... OF's other half don't read this stuff ;D ;D ;D ;) When we had the rebel 250 for my wife, it kind of bogged down on her a lot, so we got her the savage. When I got to playing with the rebel, I took out the air filter and could hit 75 all the time (on a flat road), so much so that I broke the speedo cable on it. We sold it to a young fella who was going to use it as his first ride, his dad road it (little bit bigger than me) to make sure it worked. When he came back in the drive he had a big smile on his face, and said "man, I didn't realize these things were so fun to ride", and this from a big ol' electriglide guy :) |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by hotprops on 03/22/16 at 09:30:51 i cant count how many bikes i have owned in 52 years of riding.a friend had a rebel and i helped him do some work on it of course a long test drive was necessary, i loved it. i now own a s40 and love it. it replaced my bassa and sometimes i would look and not believe how fast i was going so it was time to sell it . i had been looking at the s40 savage for many years .turns out to be a great bike for a 63 year old guy great site as well |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by r80rt on 03/24/16 at 18:41:43 One of my riding buddy's rode a Honda rebel from Arkansas to Utah, then back to Georgia And finally home to Arkansas. Tough little bike, but the rider had to be tougher! |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by DesertRat on 03/25/16 at 08:13:01 I hate my seat after my commute of 20-30 minutes. The longer rides of 2+ hours was HORRID on my lower back and legs. No way I would ride this kinda miles with our stock seat. |

Title: Re: Life of a 250... Post by Art Webb on 03/25/16 at 08:48:02 moving around helps put feet on passenger pegs, install highway bars, etc still hurts though, I might be good for 300 mile days, tops, especially on the interstate That's on a stock S40 with windscreen, the scootanic is MUCH better for that |
