Honda Rebel 300
The Honda Rebel 300 (CMX300) was introduced in 2017 as a redesign of the classic Rebel nameplate, targeting beginner and urban riders with a modern cruiser style. It replaced the older CMX250C Rebel and was launched alongside the larger Rebel 500, sharing the same platform and retro-bobber styling. Its approachable power, low seat height, and clean aesthetics made it one of the most popular entry-level cruisers worldwide.

What Buyers Should Know
Rock-Solid Reliability
The Rebel 300 uses Honda's proven single-cylinder engine with fuel injection, requiring minimal maintenance beyond routine oil changes and valve checks every 16,000 miles. It's consistently rated among the most dependable beginner bikes on the market.
Watch the Charging System
Some owners report issues with the stator and rectifier/regulator failing prematurely, leading to battery drain — especially on bikes that sit unused for extended periods. Always check the electrical system and battery health before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Rebel 300 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand from new riders, often selling used for 80–90% of MSRP in good condition. Its stylish neo-retro design keeps it desirable even as newer models release.
