Not my thing, but you know why motorcycling is awesome? There is something for everyone. As long as you get out there on two wheels... who cares what you are on. We all have different preferences, and there are so many types of bikes out there... pick the one you want, and be happy with it!

I’m a Honda fan boy. Currently have a 2017 Africa Twin, 2019 CB1000R and a 2014 CB500L that my kids ride. This Rebel is a great second bike that a person could own for a long long time. It’s good when a brand gives a new rider the ability to step up in displacement while staying with their chosen style of bike.

I'm not sure everyone understands the DCT. It's not just an automatic transmission. It will function as an automatic if you tell it to, or you can use the paddles to shift manually. You can fit a foot lever if you want. So you get to ride how you want, but when stuck in traffic you get an easy mode, if you choose. Not a lot to hate there!

Back in late 2020 or early 2021 my 5'1" wife decided it was time to start riding, which she had wanted to do for years, and she wanted a bike she didnt have to worry about shifting if at all possible. We were looking at some of the NC7xx DCT bikes, but at the time even used ones that were 8-9 years old were in the $6-7k range and she really didnt like the look of those bikes or the seat height. We found a Rebel 1100 DCT and drove a few hours away to look at one and she loved it after sitting on it so we bought it then and there. Since it was basically her first motorcycle outside the MSF class and a few short rides on a 250cc scooter we got her some crash bars from TRex, set the ride mode to "Rain", and off she went. The TRex drop bars are more practical than stylish, as they stick out quite a ways, but they are excellent at their job. She has dropped the bike a couple times at parking lot speeds, as any new rider can expect to do at least a few times, but there is no damage at all to anything but the replaceable scuff plates on the drop bars. At this point she likes the bike in "standard" ride mode, we got her the Honda soft bags, a top box mount from TRex and a top box off Amazon, some Kuryakyn mini floorboards I had (Although TRex again has some nice looking ones), some ROX 3" risers, and are testing windscreens to see what she likes best. At this point she loves her bike and can't see any reason to ever change, although we might add a few more things like a center stand (TRex again most likely) and we are going to check out the self canceling turn signals from ST2-Systems. This has been a fantastic bike for her, and honestly the fact that it is capable of being a first, middle, and final bike for a responsible rider is frankly outstanding. I would like to state that I am not in any way associated with TRex and have never received anything from them for free, I am just a happy customer of theirs.

As much as cruisers aren't my thing, and I don't see myself buying a DCT until my hands are to arthritic to hold the lever, this bike does excited me for one reason. - NEW RIDERS! Having a light weight, low seat, automatic, bike with traction control, abs, and enough power to keep even experienced riders entertained without being scary to newer folks. All in a brand that the even non rider's feel they can trust to get a quality product from. Kind of erases a ton of those barriers to entry for those contemplating getting into riding. I'm not a big honda head but personally but I could see this thing attracting a lot future enthusiasts.

Im going with a dct because it simply frees up your mind to enjoy the cruise and I feel it is a little safer. Just one less thing to have to think about, even if it lessens the connection you have to the bike. Its also actually more difficult to do low speed maneuvers with the dct. No clutch to control your power on the bite. Only thing you have is dragging the rear brake.

Was fun as hell peeling away from motorcycle meets and just revving it out, got a lot of looks, as it sounded so weird. Looked like a 750 as well, with aluminum shells on the engine. Slow as hell, but really fun. Was a pain in the ass to wrench on, the carbs were like 8 hours to take out, clean and put back in.

As for the seat comfort that is something easily fixed with a good upholsterer. Without any gel or add-ons you could have a seat made just for your and to your firmness/thickness preference for around $200. Compared to what people spend on silly aftermarket levers and Akrapovič systems for that 1.3% increase in torque they won't feel or use it's one of the first things you can do to make your bike much more comfortable for all rides you do. Applies to cruisers and sportbikes.

honda did it right by using 12.5" rear shocks instead of an 11". i already have a sportster but if i didnt have it already, i would choose the rebel 1100.

Honda! Its 2021! Get rid of the chains already! Go back to shaft drive or switch to belt. Chains suck! Bicycles are even belt driven now and Harley has been doing the belt for decades at this point. Chain drive keeps me away from Hondas which is sad because I actually want one but won't do it with a chain. Come on guys!

I'm curious why they didn't go with a belt or shaft drive. I'm not a fan of chains at all. Chains are high maintenance for a new rider and need adjusting often. Which is prob why they did it. It certainly doesn't look good but it'll be a good bike.

@@sagheer.a4988 Cruisers can have shaft-drives; it's not limited to ADV. It's the lack of maintenance making it desirable as opposed to chain-drive. I like belts for weight saving. Not to mention torque steer. People complaint that belts cannot be re-geared easily like chains, for example 1 up 1 down on some Groms. But I think the lack of maintenance more than make up for it.

@@Scottish_Viking84 not even close. I put 160,000 miles on a 95 Honda Magna . The chain was a PIA to maintain and I stayed on top of it, the closer to the end of its reasonable service life , the worse it is and sprockets must be swapped out with the chain, average 20K life span. If the bike is your primary vehicle which mine always has been, it's much more expensive and if your work schedule and life leaves you little time for drivetrain maint., in my experience , belt is much better, last longer , zero maint. I have a 2008 Victory Vision with 175,800 miles on it (also was primary ride after the Magna, I don't own a car) on the ORIGINAL DRIVE BELT. No maintenance , no adjustment. Just ride. Never touched it. Only occasional visual inspections.

Honda really needs to boost the shadows up to the 1100-1200 mark. They'd sell those things like hot cakes. Alot of people still want a nice classic looking cruiser but the 750 just needs a little boost. This rebel is cool looking for sure but it doesn't have that classic cruiser soul, it's a sport bike cruiser hybrid with a heavy sport bias.

OK, so cb650r for ¥979,000 or rebel 1100 for ¥1,100,000? I'm 5'11, 235lb, live in metro Japan(so 30km~60km speed limits unless you get on a toll road, then you're up to maybe 120km), lane filtering at stoplights are legal so bike width is a factor, most rides will be around 30 minutes, maybe up to an hour, and then occasionally up to 2 hours, and maybe once a quarter for all day rides. My previous bike was a ktm Duke 390. I've trained on a Harley 650, I've test ridden a Diavel(loved it, can't afford it) and I've ridden another small cruiser and naked. I'm leaning towards the rebel 1100. I'm planning on it I can, to test ride each. What's your opinion?

Tonyj13b, go to SRK Cycles and see their "roll on" runs with the Vulcan S against bikes like the Rocket III with its 2300 cc motor and other large motored bikes. The Vulcan S wins!!!! So, don't jump to a conclusion that the 1100cc Rebel will beat that Vulcan S.... I think you have a winner with the Vulcan S, but what do I know, I only have been riding since Feb 1974 and have only owned 40 plus motorcycles, all of which have been larger street bikes (cruisers, tourers, sport bikes). You own a winner brother. Take care.
