The Honda Rebel has secured an odd place in motorcycle history. It is the standard in 250 cc bikes and is known as a wear and tear machine. Often called a starter bike, people get attached to these feisty little creatures.
Riders sense that the Rebel can endure a beating and take full advantage of that robustness. For example, eight people I know learned to ride on the same Rebel and everyone banged, bumped, stalled, cracked, and dropped it. That little beast has had almost everything replaced and even a few custom parts were machined out of cheap, sheet metal that was handy at the time. It's ugly as sin, but somehow it keeps kicking around despite such maltreatment.
A machine with that kind of endurance is not to be sold off over a bad gas tank. Either for restoration, or just because you finally put one too many cantaloupe-sized dents in it, an original Rebel gas tank pays proper respect to an unlikely legacy.
One of the most convenient qualities of this long-suffering machine is the stability of the design. A Rebel gas tank will fit any Rebel regardless of manufacture year. So, love them, hate them, or both, these tenacious little bikes are going to be sharing the roads for a very long time.
