Honda PCX-Rebel hybrid

Post by Indyglow »

The bike I would really like to see built is the Honda Rebel body with the PCX transmission and brakes. A small, lightweight, low seat height motorcycle lookalike with an easy to use total hand control automatic drive system. Why isn't something like that available?

Funny you mention that bike gn2, a neighbor around the bend from me had one, kept it covered in the street curbside. Now it's gone. Shame because I always wanted to stop and ask "how do you like it?"
That's what I get for procrastinating. My impression driving past it was, Big, Bulky, Heavy appearance....and in need of better styling. But....I know nothing about it.

So what's "your" opinion of the CF Moto or should I say "do you have one?"

CF Moto make some good bikes.
These CVT ones may appeal to some peeps, but not to me.

It is past due for a new Rebel300 update which Honda could do vary cheaply by repurposing the engine, dash, wheels, ect from the 300F.

Okay gn2, sounds to me like I didn't miss anything by not stopping to inquire. Life moves on and newer bikes roll in. Sometimes I wish we had the choices ya'll have across the pond...but then the menu would grow and I'd be overwhelmed by the choices :D Maybe one day, the U.S. will hand us one (hmm...but I probably won't know any better by then). Time flys. We must continue to have Fun! :P

The CBR300R has been out for two years and now also there is a CB300F. Which is cheaper to buy at $3,999 than the old air cooled/ carbed Rebel. Honda could offer a new Rebel with much more modern parts and keep the price the same.

Thanks for this information. It seems CFMoto no longer sells these bikes in the USA. I found a few CFMoto dealers selling ATVs, but none anywhere near me that sell these bikes. I found one used bike for sale by a private owner, that's all. I'm still hoping for a Rebel/PCX mix.

You'll wait a long time for that.
In the meantime start saving your pennies hard and be on the lookout for a used Ridley.

A GROM for big kids at around 200cc would be awesome.
