The History of the Rebel

The 250 Rebel first hit the scene in 1985 with a list price of 1,598 greenbacks, it evolved from the former CM200 Twin Star (aka "Twinkie"). The 250 was produced from 1985 to 1987. A larger 450 version came out in 1986 listing at 2,398 semolians, and it was produced until 1987 as well. The 250 made a return to American shores in 1996 and is still in production, sharing its motor with the 250 Nighthawk.

Earlier Rebels in good condition are currently fetching close to (and sometimes over) the original sticker price today.
