If you are over 5' 6" tall, or over 185 lb forget the Rebel!!!!! Most of my family learned to ride on a Kawasaki Ninja 250, and I am here to tell you it does not matter if you are on a CB 750, or a CB 100 if you do not know what you are doing, either will hurt you equally. A lot of people think the smaller "slower" bike will be safer, but I disagree. On either one, you are in control! It is your hand on the throttle/clutch... Any sane person will not hold the throttle wide open, and dump the clutch, or go above a safe speed. If you feel comfortable on a 750, then buy a 750. If you want a 750, and buy a 250, you will never be happy! And will wish you had bought a 750. Get what you want, and ride like, you have a brain, and you will be fine.
