That thing has my name on it. I recently completed my moto license courses here in Québec and the first thing I said was "man, that little Rebel is fun. I just wish it was a scrambler or something that doesn't look like i'm in my midlife crisis". Well. There you go. Now...I kind of wish my Svartpilen order stays stuck where it is now...because i'll simply go for this one, then. I mean, it's a Honda. With proper maintenance, you just have to turn on the ignition, press the button and go. It'll always work. It's kind of a nice plus to have. Now, I know full well it's not a proper scrambler and I'd probably need a proper set of tires to do anything else than gravel. But that...sincerly...that looks really good.
Great review and demo. I’m reminded of my first motorcycle…a 1967 Honda 305 Scrambler with almost same color. And yes watch out for that exhaust pipe on the 67.
