Very different direction for the previous rebels which have been more about a toy version of the bigger cruisers.

What you fancy one Bogger, now I come to think about it I can see you in a pair of leather chaps and a bandana!! :P
Cruisers are more popular in the states, we might not get these new models, they have the old 250 rebel and ctx 700 which we dont. Shame.

Put some leather tassels on yer cub, might put you more into a cruiser mood (and it's not Friday night yet).

Sissy bar and some leather panniers with imitation silver dollar fancies too.

I think this is what the custom cub scene really needs - a cub version of the Fanatic.

Fantic chopper is one of my all time favourite bikes :D Simply because they are so ridiculous.

If your thinking you 'must be getting old' Matt, a 916 isn't the most comfy of rides, I rode one early this year and although a fantastic engine the word 'rack' always comes to mind. :P
