I had decided I wanted a new motorcycle after 40 years of not riding because I moved to the Smoky Mountains and rolling down the windows of the car wasn't cutting it. I took the national motorcycle riding course, and started looking for a bike. The bikes were much more advanced than mine back in the day. I heard about the 1100 rebel, so I started watching videos, and I decided to go look at one. I felt like the modes would help me a lot. I rode it home in rain mode, then after about 100 miles I switched to standard mode, then after about another 300 miles I went to sport mode. I think the modes would allow even a beginner to buy this bike and work their way up through the modes. This will help a person not have to go through three bikes before they get to the one they want with the experience they've gained. I love the technology. I very happy with my purchase.

I bought my Rebel 1100 for the same reasons as you. I bought the DCT model and I really love it. I'm a little older guy and have ridden bikes for a very long time. This Rebel (mine has a few modifications) is so comfortable and easy to ride that it is a real joy to own. Good video my friend. Ride safe and be careful. Eric in Kissimmee Florida.

5:46 dang. I went to my local Honda dealership for oil, I got a rebel 300, and they talked me into the rebel 1100. Price out the door was $13.5k! Including a trade in for the Rebel 300 ( I was not upside on it) absolutely insane, walked out so fast! 😂😅

I chose the manual, too. My 1100 is my first bike, and I think it's awesome!

Thanks for the great review man! I’m on a Rebel 500 now and I love it, but definitely looking to upgrade to the 1100 for a long term bike in the next year. Appreciate you being unbiased, super helpful in the sea of search results that have “TOO SLOW????” clickbait images in the title lol

Great review! I put a deposit on one Saturday. It'll be on a slow boat from Japan by 7/31. I'm so excited!

Great video. I just bought my first bike. Same as yours a red 2021 ninja 400 I’m loving it. But I know my next bike was going to be a cruiser and rebel 1100 is definitely on my list.

Great video!!! I'm on the fence between the Rebel1100 and Vulcan S. I've sat in both. The Rebel seemed to sit better and felt great. The more research I do and videos like yours are making my decision making MUCH easier!! Ride safe!!

I own a 2021 Honda rebel 1100 manual, less than 5,000 miles on it and I love it!

I am in the same boat he was. I have a ninja 400 and am moving to the rebel. The ninja is awesome and has it's place. But if you plan on routinely spending more than 45 minutes on it, the positioning of your back starts to wear on you. It's crazy nimble though and a ton of fun to wring out. It's gonna depend on what you are doing with the bike for the majority of your time

Great video I bought the rebell 1100 as well dct model though,Ivan manually shift ,but decided that I wanted to try something different an I love ❤️ it ,the dct is 10 thousand but with alll the fees it will come up to 12 thousand an change an if u add the tire package 📦 it’s more ,so great bike for the money lots of power .

First class honest review I have the DCT being 5' 5" it is good to have a bike I do not struggle to get on, I also have a NC700 DCT and was starting to struggle getting on and off ( 62 with arthritis ) the Rebel does 100mph which is fast enough but strange as my 700 did 115 as standard non modified and will be sold as standard, the new owner can re-fit the parts if they want to.

I have a CBR600F2 right now. She’s about 32yrs old. Had it about 8yrs. I’m ready to move on to something more commuter friendly, and I’ve been HEAVILY contemplating the Rebel 1100. I think this video really drove it home for me. Sport bikes are fun and all, but I commute 130mi a day for work, time for a much needed change of pace.

I’ve ridden BIG and small bikes, large displacement and small single cylinder bikes, and I typically enjoy the bikes that range from 350 to 900cc’s. Nice bike. Enjoy the ride. Godspeed

nice bike bro!!! i got an 04 vtx1800 i had 1100 shadow as my first bike there great...nice too see its got 6 speed and digi guages...real nice dct transmission....might have tell my gf she wants a bike but she just needs an automatic cruiser...now that go honda man

Yep. I concur. I am enjoying mine. Got some nice parts from daytoa in Japan

Good review I'm looking at this bike myself. Not sure if manual or dct yet but like the size and weight of this one

Haha dude! I went from a Grom to a ninja 400 (passion red squad!) I was looking at a rebel 1100 but ultimately ended up with a Bonneville because I’ve always wanted one. I am still wanting a rebel 1100 though but I can’t find any in my area. Great video!

Glad you like it. I just picked up my 1100 DCT on Wednesday. I was $11,700 out the door for mine, same color, only difference is DCT, so I don't think you got a bad deal. Other dealers in the area were well into the 12's out the door, thankfully the black one I wanted was the best deal. Cruise control is amazing. While riding is dangerous, this bike has great ABS and traction control too, and the different driving modes are fantastic to keep the power in check. Spot on with your reasons for purchase!

11.7 is really good. Mine was 13K out the door. Frieght is brutal right now.

still waiting for the delivery of mine but i did my research and i choose the rebel for similar reasons 1. midcontrols and the seating position rather than forward controls or sport bike seating. 2. 1100 engine with that transmission is going to have plenty of get-up-an-go when i need it and a nice steady push when i'm relaxing. 3. 13k vs 18k harley or indian. 4.seat height (i'm 5'6). 5.the platform can easily be made into a naked street\bobber\bagger\cruiser.

Thanks man!

My only issue when I sat on it was the fixed seat. I already own a Triumph America and it has the same issue. I ended up going with the Sportster S and already have a seat on order. I am from Australia so the price between the two bikes is closer than in the US. The Sportster S is only 30% more expensive (rather than the 50% in the US). I wouldn't turn my nose up at the Rebel though, I was close to buying one.

Thats my dream bike! I hope to buy one day.

The great thing about rebel 1100 is it is lighter than most of their competitors and it is very stable at high way. I am impressed. I had to sell my rebel 1100 dct since I dont like DCT but I would buy another rebel 1100 manual if I could find one.

@@ReturnOfWilderness my problem with the dct is that now even though I like other bikes, I couldn't go back to a manual. It's like going from a manual car to an automatic. Yes, the manual is more engaging but for me riding a bike is engaging and exciting enough. And for city traffic, dct is gold. The manual paddles respond instantly even in automatic mode and the clutch operates smooth as butter. If you're gentle on the throttle it will move the bike idling, and you feel the clutch slowly engaging at your command. But if you hit it hard, you better grab those handles. I can't be bothered with a manual clutch again.

I started riding in late 2020 (at 51 yrs old) I went with the Harley iron 883 as my first bike in October of 2020. A few months later, Honda releases this bike 😳😡. I would have absolutely, positively, bought the rebel 11oo if it was available when I started riding, and I would have gladly paid 12k for one. Now I’m on a ‘21 Low Rider S so no going back now, but I would still love to have this bike! Btw, I can’t imagine why anyone would buy that new Harley nightster bike when the rebel 11oo exists?

Very helpful review, thanks a lot. Btw, did you ever test ride the rebel 500 version? I have hard time choosing between 500 and 1100 as they look exactly the same, while I am worried the 500 is too weak on the highway. Thanks again

All the dealers in my city had no inventory and said they would take orders for 2023 spring delivery. I found a 2021 Rebel 1100 DCT with 1300 km on it and bought it. I tried to pay depreciated price (20% below list), but had to pay $1000 below list price.

I would do the Rebel 1100. It has more technology in the bike to help new riders move up and become more confident. It also has a decent amount of power so you won’t outgrow it as fast. Cruise control has made a world of difference to me while riding. That is a huge plus with the rebel. That’s just my 2 cents.

Hey Tizzle, "You can get hurt with a bike but you can also get hurt with a car." It shows your lack of experience, you can crash a car and many times you won't get hurt. But if you crash a bike I guarantee you ten out of ten times you will get hurt even if it's just a broken ankle. I've been riding since 78 since I was 11 years old, and controlled situations like dirt bikes using a lot of gear and you wipe out on soft earth are the only situations where you may fall off a bike and not get hurt but on pavement or stone, forget it.
