Today, I stopped at the Honda shop and looked at the Rebel. I was amazed to see the similarities. They have almost identical engine, identical carburetor, identical clutch linkage arm and identical frame for the most part. The Hensim has nicer pipes, much nicer wheels and a nicer gas tank. For half of the money it seems to be a great deal. I will need time to see how it rides and holds up, but if it is like my Hi Bird, I am going to love it.

I changed the oil and started it up today. It started right up and sounded great. I let it idle and revved it gently to warm it up. It is cold and slippery here so it will be a while before I ride. I am anxious to ride. When I have time I will mention a few bugs I found but solved easily.
