Motorpsycho: The Rebel

Honda Rebel

Originally uploaded by MikeOliveri.

Here’s a Honda Rebel I was riding around in class on Monday and Wednesday. As I expected, the seat on these little guys is a lot more comfortable than the long, narrow seat on the Nighthawks.

This particular bike was donated by the Peoria-Tazwell ABATE chapter, which is why it has the eagle logo on the tank and front fender. I’m not sure what year this bike is, but it is showing some wear on the logo so it’s probably been around a while.

Ran great, though. I kept accidentally hitting neutral when going from first to second, but that was just a matter of getting a feel for the tranny vs the other bikes I’d ridden.

This wouldn’t be a bad little bike for the six-mile commute I make between campuses at work.
