2023 · "The Scrambler" · owned since Mar 2024
Honda's modern take on the scrambler — the 471cc twin from the CB/Rebel family wrapped in high-pipe, dual-purpose styling. Light, low, and endlessly approachable: easy to flick through town, happy on a gravel back road, and forgiving enough to learn on.
The small 12 L tank means planning fuel stops on longer days, but the upright bars and 790 mm seat make it one of the most comfortable bikes to just throw a leg over and ride.
