A shame that not every moto company sells more auto motorcycles, there would be a lot more first time riders like myself who want to ride without worrying about learning how to ride manual lol. Great video my man, take care and be safe out there!

I mean the hard part of driving a motorcycle isn't the shifting.. so if this is what's making it too much effort to learn, that's probably a good thing.

I'm buying my first bike next week. I will be getting rebel1100 dct. I know how to ride manual. It is too much hassle. Dct completely eliminated the trouble of clutch and shifting. You can just enjoy the ride. We have manual bikes at home. My dad and my brother own them. Dct will allow you to enjoy the road for more for beginners. At least know how shifting works and you will be fine

I have been driving manual cars and bikes for 20 years. I'm goddamn tired of babysitting a clutch. Never again. Shifting is fun sometimes. Most of the time it's an annoyance.

I just bought the 2022 DCT and love it. I've ridden manuals for years, but had a work accident that severely limits mobility and strength in my left hand. When I went to sign the paperwork and pick it up, the dealer kept asking if the bike was for my wife, and was taken aback when I told him that I would be the one riding it. He was under the impression that only women drive automatic bikes.

Classic ignorant sales person. They probably never rode it. You can count on car or motorcycle sales staff to know little about the product. The ones that do really stand out as great people.

Own one and love it, as a matter of fact hadn't ridden in about 15 years and turned 40 got my learner's permit and bought a bike and it was a 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 dct in black.

Smart buy Chad. As much as I love manual, this DCT impressed me a lot.

I HATE shifting, that was the biggest turn off when I started riding motorcycles, but then I bought a Honda CTX 700 DCT in 2014 and LOVED it!! Not having to shift is awesome!

I just bought the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT in Bordeaux Red, my first bike and love it. My 60th birthday gift to myself lol. I have driven manual cars all my life and decided that I did not want to bother with shifting anymore. Just Relax and Go!. (By the way, there is storage under the seat as well)

I am also from Canada but in Ontario, this will most likely be my 1st bike to buy, I got my M2 last April 2023. Thanks for the review! Just 👍 and subbed too 🏍 😎

I missed that! I run a motorcycle school so I’ll get a couple hours to ride and experience the bike. I know the rebel 300/500 very well and wrongly assumed they were similar in regards to storage.

Ive seem a lot of hate from some riders about DCT and people who choose them and its sad. Yes im learning to ride, yes i still have the ability to ride a manual. Am i great at it, no. Can i do it, yes. However i just like the concept of a dct. Fits what i want and i just want to focus on the ride amd the experience of being on a bike. Its a funny hobby to be apart of and anyone who wants A dct should definitely do so if its best for them. However i do think every rider should be able to ride a manual in some capacity.

Great review but under the seat there is a compartment. Still reaching for the chifter and downshifting when traying to work the blikers, i moved the conteols forward and all felt in place, on tight turns you need to shift down soem times. OVERAL i love it.

Great bike just bought one 2022 just put in 300 miles today the only thing I don't like is the gas tank it does not hold a lot I don't understand why they say 3.5 gallons but when I go to fill it up and the light is blinking low fuel it only let me put in 2.6 gallons and it's really sporty love that. Takes off like a rocket

All motorcycles have an early low fuel light. It comes on way to early then you get range anxiety. I guess they think we’ll run out of gas!

As far as storage you still need a tank bag and some essential saddle bags. Under seat is ok but storage is still lacking.

2 things to mention, first you missed the storage under the seat, turn the key to the right to unlock the seat, there is some space there. Second thing to mention, when you talk about the rear break you mention locking up, well this has ABS so it just will not lock. Just additional correction there, no disrespect, because I really like the review ! greets

A mi me gusta ver una moto andando. Para lo demás están las especificaciones que ya van en el manual. Gracias

I just watched a video in which the main shaft broke on this model. It took months for the dealership to figure it out and the rider finally gave up and traded it in on a different bike.

Nice looking bike. Honda did well with this machine. I know this might make it more like a scooter, but with no clutch I'd want the rear brake on the left hand bar as it would seem more natural when turning/corning slowly ....something to grab at a natural spot since the clutch is not there. Again, I know it might make people say it's a scooter. :O

What I plan to do with my Rebel 1100T bagger when it arrives, mainly because the rear brake pedal is in a terrible position... a Honda(Nissin)CBF1000 clutch master cylinder is an exact match, that and a braided line down to the ABS pump, easy conversion. I also plan to put a full cell below the seat, so you can strip away all the rear brake parts from down there, including the fluid reservoir... touring bike!(you don't need that handbrake with a centre stand - T'Rex Racing).

I love my Rebel 1100 DCT, it’s fantastic, so nimble and so quick. You said it will shift in manual mode if your revs are too high… mine will not. Manual mode will only downshift when the revs are too low to stop the engine from stalling, you have to push the button to upshift. I only ride in manual mode, the auto mode shifts at annoying times. The seat pops off easily for storage just by pushing and twisting the key… there are tools and a USB port under there and a little bit of space, but not much. I think you also missed the cruise control

@leeridefar

The auto shift mode is conservative and setup for good gas mileage. Manual is much more enjoyable. How long have you rev maxed it and it didn’t shift? Yes I did miss the cruise control. I lost my notes that day and had to wing it. Good catch.

How to order?

Is it hard to do slow speed manuervers without the clutch and friction zone?

Rear brake becomes the dominant way to slow ride. It does take some getting used too.
