Looks great. But with the rain and shitty road in Bali, I’d need to have fenders in mine. It’s hard to be cool when you have a stripe of mud up the center if your body.

PeteP,
I’d guess it’s because the Rebel is styled like a bigger bike, but isn’t one.
Whereas the CB100 is so blatantly a small bike and never claims to be anything bigger, that people seem to be accepting it for what it is, rather than slating it’s lack of speed. Something that the Rebel probably deserved, but didn’t necessarily get.

It could be about expectations.

I’m intrigued at the variety of comments, e.g. Justin’s and bees’ viewpoints.
I got the impression that the bike wouldn’t make sense to people outside of it’s Bali context; but it seems to have an even more complicated target audience than that.

I like the proportions in the photos, but you can guarantee that they look even better in the metal – small bikes can look bigger in photos.

So, the bobbed Rebel 250 was too small and slow, but this is just right?

What’s wrong here?

In case anyone’s wondering, the CB100 stock will do over 60mph no problem. I know this because I own a 1970 CB100, and have had mine just a tad over 70mph. It’s a real stretch to do 70, but 60 is no problem at all. I can even do it with a passenger.

Really like that. Keep looking at my neighbours CB250 and wondering what could be done…
