The engine in this motorcycle has been around since 1978 in it's first incarnation as the CM185 TwinStar. The displacement was increased to 200cc and finally 250cc with the name briefly changing to the 250 Custom. It now powers the cruiser-styled Rebel and this bike. For some reason this sportier version has drum brakes while the laid-back Rebel gets a front disc. My mother used to have a 200 TwinStar. The Rebel and Nighthawk are favorites of Motorcycle Safety Course programs, but their limited power is quickly outgrown by most riders.
