I love how casually Waheed talks about doing hooligan stuff. "Of course we have disabled traction control, so as to avoid any interference with our obligatory dank wheelies"

As a shorter rider who favors mid controls rather than the typical foot-forward controls of most cruisers, this could just be the bike for me. I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing one in person very soon. Thanks for the review.

I like how nimble, agile and torquey this bike is. Probably the best commuter bike for not so tall people.

Good job Honda! PS : Could the side mounted camera please go away. Chin mounted shows us what you see more clearly

Thanks for the great review 👏👌👍 I currently have a 500 with my 1100 arriving ANY day now. I'm 5'4", the height & narrow body is perfect for me. I'm SO excited & can't wait!!! Thanks again!!!!!

Im happy that Honda made this bike. When I was shopping around in 2018 for a small cruiser with mid controls, there were only 4 bikes for me to choose from; Kawasaki Vulcan 650, HD 883 & 1200, and Yamaha Bolt. I liked the HD 1200 so I bought it. But, after the excitement of a new bike wore off, it really was an underpowered bike for a 1200cc motor. The suspension was bad too. For 10k, i felt like i bought a new bike that was built in the 90s. After learning the history of Sportsters, i realized i did buy a bike from the 90's. But that Evo motor still brings a smile to my face. Even though the Honda 1100 isnt a v-twin, it could be what the Sportster should've been for 2021 in terms of power, electronics and suspension.

His hair is 1100 cc too xD

I love your reviews. You certainly do your homework. I watch every new vlog . Thank you!

There should've been one on this bike they said they only did it to clean up the area by the speedometer but obviously a proximity T would've done the same thing this was laziness and they "CHEAPED" out on this aspect of the bike

Do the 2018+ Honda gold wings have the engine break option as well?

Do you usually ride with your headlight on high beam ? If so, why ?

On the CTX700 DCT, even in "Sport" mode, the transmission always wanted to get into the highest gear, which caused "lugging". That was likely due to the low torque of that motor, so hopefully won't be an issue with this 1100. Would have liked to see this review cover the various modes of this DCT, such as the "rain" mode, and the fully custom programmable mode...
