Could not have put it better. Very poetic.

I think YOU BOTH are confused ! The Indian was made for people who like Nostalgia, but do not want to buy a Harley Davidson. The Honda Rebel was made for the New Generation, and THEY EXPECT Performance, Comfort, and Convinience... NOT EXCUSES !!!

The "RPM ceiling" of the Rebel has a simple reason I got told by a Honda-Dealer yesterday: Honda usually caps the accessable power of their engines (car and bike) at 80% to keep their engines run longer and more reliable, so basically the redline on a Honda is still not really stressing the engine

@Real_MisterSir

3 жыл бұрын

Well to a degree that's true, but it's been lowered even further from the Africa Twin, which is already a very easy-going engine that has been engineered to give less potential performance, for the sake of reliability and being able to run on shitty fuel you find in remote parts of the world. The Rebel hasn't had its rev limit lowered even further for the sake of longevity and reliability, the engine is perfectly fine for that job already. They've made changes so that its entire power delivery is different, more of it available down low and at speeds that are more common for cruise style riding rather than offroad/highway bashing.

@JViello

Жыл бұрын

It's probably because the power is at a much lower rpm due to a cam change and other variables would be my guess. That or perhaps they removed/reduced the size of a secondary harmonic balance shaft to give it more "character" and lowered the "comfortable rpm limit" in kind. Stories like "only goes to 80% for engine longevity" etc IMO scream urban legend. The engines spend such little time up there, and the whole idea that the rotating assembly will be under duress past the redline but fine below just doesn't make sense...at least from an engineering standpoint. So thinks this engineer anyhow. PS. Lugging an engine can be just as if not more damaging to the rod bearings than over spinning it.

The problem with brands like Harley and Indian is that when they design a motorcycle, they come up with a pricetag to match the bike's image rather than its parts, and then they just add whatever parts they feel are "just good enough" to keep that image alive. That means shitty suspension and brakes, poor material choices in many areas, limited innovation, old parts, and a whole lot of compromises - but these compromises are still chosen because they don't directly violate that cruiser mindset. But when you add up all the parts and look at the overall picture, especially when considering new customer segments, this is a recipe for digging one's own grave. Honda made a concept, then matched the pricetag to the parts they deemed necessary for that future customer segment. Not the other way around. You don't have to pay a premium just to buy into a "lifestyle product". You don't have to pay a premium for a name or a "feeling" which inevitably makes many compromises overall on the sheer lack of current-day value per part used. You don't have to pay a premium and then be lured into buying new parts for upgrades because "it's just a part of of owning this kinda bike". You don't have to pay a premium for objectively poorer-than-average reliability. Basically Honda is just selling you a bike, like any other, except it happens to be a cruiser style. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and it doesn't expect you to do so either - and that is a strong selling point when your target is customers that are not swayed by companies that brand themselves on concepts like "Heritage and lifestyle" instead of just making a product that sells itself.

A hopeless pining for heritage holds everything back. FTN

I don’t get why manufacturers are not making a bike with both heritage looks and performance, I love the looks of cruisers but I hate fighting them on the corner, I hate scraping pegs, I hate to bottom out my suspension because it only have 2” of travel and overpaying for it. Its hard to believe that a “heritage” bike costs more than a fully featured bike.

Call the Rebel a Roadster instead of a cruiser, it might make more sense that way.

I'm actually shopping around for a new bike. The Rebel 1100 and the Scout Bobber are among my top prospects. The Rebel is clearly the better product when it comes to performance, features, and value. My logical brain wants me to get the Rebel. It would take an extra investment in upgrades to get the Scout Bobber to perform closer to where I how I'd like. HOWEVER, the Scout has WAY more style. It's aesthetic is classic and timeless. Even if you think the Rebel is a good looking bike, ask yourself if you could say that several years from now. Just look at some of the dorky looking bikes that came out of earlier decades. Those did not age well. If you put the Scout in a time machine it would look good whether you sent it back in time or forward. Hence my emotional brain wants me to get the Scout. Also, while I am impressed with the tech and features of the Rebel, I find myself wondering when I will actually use them. When will I have a need to change ride modes? It doesn't even rain very much here in Los Angeles. So I'm really torn. All I know is that either choice is better than my Iron 883. lol

Again a video that states the poor brakes, the poor suspension and the poor tires of the Indian Scout. Please consider that you ride an older version of the scout. I think its a pre 2020 bike... When comparing the Scout to a brand new Honda Rebel 1100 you'd better choose the new version of the scout with improved brakes and suspension and Pirelli NightDragon tires so that the comparison is on the same level, technically. I own the 2021 version of the Scout and sure can tell you that this makes really a difference. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work. Cheers from germany :)

The scout feels extremely good on long hauls and a rebel 500 not so much because of its front tire. You get pushed in the wind quite a noticable amount more than on a scout.

Do some bikes do those things better, yes, but for me the Scout is faster, more comfortable, and better looking than the Rebel. No issues over the last two years, so we'll see how Indian's reliability is.

I think we younger generations of motorcycle riders aren’t into the loud pipes of normal cruisers. I believe we’ll likely be seeing a lot more parallel twin cruisers in the future. Younger people that want the cruiser style and comfort don’t want to sacrifice that sporty feeling. We can get the best of both worlds with the parallel twin.

The comparison i was looking for!! Thanks!! Purchasing the Rebel 1100 in a while. :)

You didn't hear? The spirit of the cruiser lives in that beautiful pony tail brother!

Honda at one time did do both - The Magna - V-4, sporty, good in the corners, as well as a great cruising motorcycle. Honda should take another crack a the V-4 boulevard cruiser.

The 1100 reminds me of a modern take on a baby VMAX. And I mean that as a complement. I think that thing is going to sell like crazy.

Great video! I've been curious about both of those, as a former 1st gen Magna owner, I'm trying to decide what modern equivalent to buy. It's like comparing a Rolex with Grand Seiko, or a Corvette with a Carrera, or a malt with a blizzard. Both good. I guess I'll pick one.

Just ride and enjoy the view. Don't worry about fitting a group or style label. They have differences and tailor that to your riding style. Interesting to compare, for sure.

This whole thing feels totally unnecessary. These bikes target very different riders. The Rebel is for someone who appreciates a quality built bike that can be ridden hard down a twisty road and is comfortable enough to go a whole day while not looking like a nerdy Adv bike. The Harley has always been for the "badass" biker "man" who wants to associate with that badass biker image even though the actual bike is garbage by 2021 standards. The Indian Scout is for the hipster who wants a retro bike that doesn't have most of a retro bike's issues but still feels and handles like one.

You two hardly went faster than 40 mph, so how can you really even evaluate either of them? I would want to know how they feel at 80mph! I’m interested in seeing what a Rebel might look like with a nicer looking chrome exhaust and chrome trimmed rear fender support rails. An accessory seat on the Rebel to accommodate a taller rider would make it even nicer. I would like a chrome headlight trim ring too.

Funny how all Americans are comparing it to other cruisers with v twins, try comparing it to a triumph bobber, come on my American cousins get with the programme🤷🏼‍♂️

... but how does this compare to my sportster 1200? That's what I'm wondering. Like, I was able to pick up my 1200 roadster for $4k. When can I pickup one of these for a comparable price and be as impressed as I have been to my 1200?

Great Video. Getting back on a bike after nearly four decades, I have just bought the Rebel 500 (last Saturday). You never forget how to ride. Being only 5ft 3 ins tall (or short), I needed something with a low seat height, and after extensive research decided the Rebel was the way to go. Maybe in a year or two, when I'm more confident, I'll move up to the 1100, but for now, on UK roads, the 500 seems fine. I don't think we've got the 1100 over here yet, it's only available to pre-order. I can't imagine how the Scout would cope with the fact that there are very few straight roads here in the UK, literally only the motorways. So to stay safe you need a bike that can handle corners with ease.

The Rebel basically is a modern cruiser. While the Scout may be built today, there is very little modern about it. Its old fashioned, which some people love... and I hate. I took the Rebel quick and never looked back. Love new tech and improvements... heritage is for people who live with nostalgia for yesterday.

Agree your spot on with that comment the Rebel is the next gen cruiser it's updated

I have always thought that Scout looks great with the perfect amount to chrome accents but i wish they made a higher level with better components as cheaping out on tires and suspension is very lame. Also I like a lower profile front tire (like the Rebel) and ideally a bit less heft overall. That said, the Honda looks great and I'd like to ride it one day, but I wish it had just a little bit of color as it looks so dark that I feel it lacks personality. I hope to see both evolve a bit for next model year. As always, thanks for the video.

I personally adore the heritage look more than anything.

I don’t get how its a negative to you guys when the bike does more than one thing. “Its confused!” No, its not a one trick pony.

Thank you. Normally a bike doing many things can mean it doesn't excell at anything, but the Rebel doesn't do worse in any category really. Overall it's just better than the Scout at a lot of things. That isn't bad, and it doesn't mean the bike doesn't know what it wants. It just means it's a cleaner slate for the rider to define what they want their bike to be to them. The bike doesn't define that choice for them. Hence how it is rebellious towards the standardized cruiser approach.

@nomercy4521

I believe the idea is that it doesn't do any one thing the best and that can kind of feel wonky to ride. Like you aren't as comfy on it as other cruisers, but it doesn't handle as well as a sport bike, it isn't as fast as either.

As a proud and loud cruiser rider, and Harley owner, the rebel is a very very interesting bike. I really want to test ride one. I love my street bob. I really really do. But there's something about knowing I could easily put a bagillion miles on that Honda and still ride comfortably and relaxed that just speaks to my soul.

More Whitney and Spite contentttt! so wholesome this duo

I wonder would Whitney pick the R9T over the Rebel 1100 if given a chance, or she would pick the Honda? And whatever she chooses, why? I would love to know her opinion..!

Please make a video on RE meteor 350 as it has recently been launched in the US. I love watching your reviews and it would be interesting to see that is meteor trash or a good motorcycle(from your pov)?

I bought my first bike in 1990 and was a used Honda shadow 650 or 750 don't quite remember but after less than a week, I took it back because it felt like a tank. They put me on a new Yamaha 1990 Virago 1100 and instantly was the bike for me, it was like driving a sports car. I was in the bike instead of on the bike, huge difference for me. I found someone to make forward controls and I lowered the seat, different pipes, raised the bars an inch, different blinkers and mirrors and also eliminated some weight. Wow! and the Rebel 1100 without haven't ridden it, reminds me of the Virago. Who cares what other people are riding, as long as you're happy? Just have to figure out how to afford on, in the meantime, I'll enjoy the RE Meteor350. Thank you both for the great comparison.😎

It's time for Honda to revive the Legendary MAGNA

What year Indian Scout is being used in the comparison? Are both bikes 2021? It’s my understanding that Indian has upgraded the suspension on that model since 2015 and if it’s still not up to snuff that would be a shame.

I think Indian got the Scout really authentic, right down to the suspension, its hopeless.. but that motor is what makes a cruiser. the Honda is the Toyota of nostalgia.

Which one is better for taller riders... i'm not the biggest guy, but with 6'1 not the lowest. Currently i'm still on Yamaha XVS1100 99'. Thanks and best regards.

I feel like if the Indian is a heritage cruiser, then the rebel would be a Neo cruiser. And if the rebel copied the sportsters answers to the test, then it got a higher score.

With the ultra-subtle 1100 badging, I can see a lot people asking "Oh, you've got a Rebel 500?" They probably should have differentiated its styling a little more. Although it is very solid feeling, it is still more plasticky than any cruiser outside of the Vulcan S.

I think I’ve decided on a Rebel 1100 as my next bike. I have a Rebel 500 now but will be moving up soon. ( I also love the Yamaha XSR 700, but need to test ride it before I decide).

I think it also really depends on your intended use for the bike. For me, My bike is for fun, I already have a comfy car with cruise control and leather seats, and aircon etc. I also have an RX8 which is still plenty fast and great handling. I got a bike to have just as much fun but still at street legal speeds. I like cruisers to take it easy, and to meditate, as it requires 100% focus. Too many gadgets, and I don't think it would appeal to me. Between the Rebel and the Scout, I'm in Scouts territory. My aspirational bike is s scout bobber, even the 60 is fine, as a huge litre plus engine just feels excessive on a bike.

On the topic of cruisers, I just completed motorcycle training and I’ve really been looking in the rebel series. I’m stuck between a rebel 300 and 500 as my first bike and I have a 7K budget. Should I look at different bikes or should I stick with rebel?

Rebels are great beginner bikes. I'd say get the 500. You'll outgrow the 300 quickly. Not kidding, you might be looking to upgrade the 300 after a month of riding. I think the Rebel 1100 would be a bit too much for a beginner, not that it can't be done.

Just my thoughts and lets start saying I loved HD Sportster. I ride a s40 and the rebel has always being on the back of my head but a 500 was not cut it. Now almost 5 years of Rebel 500 and Honda bring a 1100 mmm. I have a couple years going back and forth between Vulcan 900 and 1200 Sportster, but honest this Honda Rebel is just that I want to scream with it every punk rock I can...

Is the rebel a good bike for a total newbie?

Honda had the magna in 1982. It was a V4 engine in s cruiser frame, similar in looks to the first generation shadows but obviously a different kind of ride with having 2 parallel cylinders and another 2 parallel cylinders at a 90 degree angle in a high revolution engine. It sounded more like a sports bike and ran like a sports bike, with the Magna 1100 being the fastest production motorcycle when it first came out. In fact the same engine was used in the Sabre (a standard bike) and the interceptor (a sports bike) In a way this bike is kinda a similar kind of thing, something outside the box I've ridden the 1100 DCT and i think my dream bike would be the manual version with the added passenger kit, backrest and a small wind shield. Btw my first bike was a weird Korean cruiser with a 125 cc single cylinder engine back in 1994, a Hyosung Cruise 125. Then i had the Magna 750, and i currently ride a Shadow 750.

this is such a hard choice. i like the looks of the scout but the honda has so many modern features that i want.
