Here's my first bike, a black 1999 Rebel 250.  I got it with about 6,100 miles on it, and it's about 11,200 now.  I've had my '92 NH750 since Sunday, registered it Monday, I've done about 100 miles on the NH so far.  I love that NH, man.  The Rebel has been an excellent first bike, even though I'm not a small guy, and I tend to travel at well below the posted limit on uphill portions of road on it.  It's light, and very maneuverable in traffic.

Original (this was the day I brought it home!)


Post exhaust replacement (stock exhaust was a bit rusty, mostly the lower parts and left side. OEM exhaust from Honda was about $700-$800!)  The after-market exhaust is a set of Mac Staggered Duals I got from a great place called Jack's Rebel Warehouse in Sanford, FL. 


Here's a pic of the stablemates getting to know each other on Sunday afternoon...

Hey Hondo,
That's a great plan, but none of the girls I know want anything to do with motorcycles! 
Maybe we could form a nighthawk dating forum!  lol! banana
