I'm a new rider from the Canadian Prairies who decided for her 30th birthday she would get her motorcycle license and a bike. I've wanted one since I was a little kid when zipping around the farm on our Honda dirt bikes.

With my short stature, the fact that my province is completely flat, and 95% of my riding will be within city limits, I decided that the new Rebel 300 ABS was the perfect bike for me to start out with. I'm currently impatiently waiting for that call from the dealership when I can pop in and pick it up. The waiting is killing me! Argh!

Anyway -- Hello!

Welcome!!!

Yes the wait is driving me crazy. Seeing it back in December and now that it's only a week or two longer I am pretty excited.

I took my training course on a lowered Yamaha TW200, was looking into a used Yamaha V-Star 250, but fell in love with the Rebel and just had to have one! Agh!

My wait has been made a bit easier considering the fact that it snowed again [email protected]#$! Thankfully, the longer I wait the more streets the city has cleaned of sand and gravel (and potholes filled, oy!)

Welcome.
Which color are proposed for the 300?

Honda dirt bikes on the farm

Put some dual sport tires on your 300, and put a high side pipe exhaust on it, to get the pipe out from under the frame,
and you'd have a real useable, fun, dirt capable machine.
An old school scrambler.

In Canada, the 300 ABS model comes in red or white. The 300 Standard is available in red only. I went with a white ABS model.

HAHAHA! Right? That'd be pretty **** hilarious. May as well get a snorkel too and take it to the swamp.

White would have suited me (not available for 500 here). I've also seen the Yellow in pictures but once again, too much "fun" for us.

You get a few more options here with the 500 -- see photo.

For us in the USA if you want ABS you get black. Only current option.

Same in France (Europe?) for the 500: grey, black and red.
No 300 is imported here.
But where is the yellow then?

 

[canuck204]

But where is the yellow then?

US markets only, 500 Standard (non-ABS).

 

[fred0666]

Thx. That's why.
We don't have any non-abs version here...
