The CM250C Custom was the North American version of Honda's 250 cc entry cruiser, using a 234 cc square-dimension twin later carried into the Rebel 250. It had a low seat, light controls, electric start and drum brakes at both ends, making it a gentle first bike. Honda cut its US price for 1982 to tempt beginners.
