    Yes, a Honda Rebel clone. I had one in a little Hensim cruiser type bike. Always ran great but low on power. I believe many were sold in the UK as the Jinlun 250.

    I did 3 things to mine which helped noticeably. Replaced the mufflers with surplus Harley mufflers for a better flow. Put in larger main jets. Removed stock air box and installed foam Unifilters.

    air filter and jets are done. the quiet exhaust is one of the reasons i bought this as i dont want to scare my horses.... so i may have to put up with the power its got.
    THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES ITS NICE TO GET QUICK HELPFULL INFO
