I just bought one of your cool T-shirts. I hope I win that rebel. My hornet 919 has 80,000 miles on it. Time to give her a rest.
Is this a give away for americans? I’m a dutch guy livin in germany
So..... Who won???
@@3rdaxis649 a friend of him?
Bought the 2023 rebel 1100 3 weeks ago as my very first bike. I had it in rain mode for 2 weeks, it’s now in standard mode and wow, the bike is so much fun and literally inspires so much confidence. I already put 350 miles on the bike lol.
How much was the price? And are you from usa?
@@abdullahii8119 yeah USA 12k out the door

The only new bike you could win with 15,000 miles on it
Lmao 🤣
Jesus, a 47 min video. I guess I better get something to drink, because I'm totally going to watch it.
I too, simply accepted my fate with joy
I appreciate the longer vids over 5-10 min info and opinion skimming. If I want it shorter I'd Google a question. I put these on to relax and slowly build a depth of info about a bike
@@mindwalkerpod Good point. Most 5 min reviews are all about basic specs, and few if any riding impressions. This was an in-depth riding review, which really gives you an insight into how it's like to ride it.
There are much more thorough reviews that wrap it up in under 10 minutes out there and tell you actual detail like specific ground clearance, fuel range etc-I normally like Yammie Noobs reviews but this is crap.
@@tippy1951 Yea, he needs to get to the point,
For anyone wondering about suspension. Burly Brand has stiletto shocks for the Rebel. They increase the height by about 2-3 inches and are 10 times more comfortable. As for the passenger seat and pegs, they’re optional in some countries and come standard in others. But a seat and pegs is available. There are also many windscreens now available and seats as well
Africa Twin de-cat downpipes, and a dual output tip, under £200(inc 20% tax) here in the UK,so cheap compared to H/D parts. My biggest bugbear,apart from the tank, is the rear light...everything is round,h'lamp,gas cap,turn signals, reflectors,etc...r'light ,rectangle... c'mon Honda??
All you have to do is adjust the pre-load. It totally saved my nuts since it was too bouncy originally. My nuts were smashing on the seat until I adjusted the rear suspension to change to position 2 to make it more firm and now it’s perfect. My balls thank me everyday. 😂
I want the rebel 1100 but I also would love to see Honda build a badass Shadow the way they did with the rebel. A comfy shadow with rider modes, cruise and a fun engine would be dope.
You’re definitely onto something. If they made a shadow with the tech on the rebel and the 1300 from the fury, they would have a great contender for the Harley dyna series
They DID have that with the VTX models. Instead they nixed the VTX and transplanted the 1300 from it into the Fury. Why they didn’t use the 1800 is beyond me.
Emmissions bs@@BrandonWest87
I would absolutely LOVE to see Honda bring the VTX lineup back with some modern appointments and technology. I had a 2007 VTX1300 and i regret selling her to this day! I got 42-44mpg religiously with a 4.5gal tank. These new bikes have smaller tanks and are less fuel efficient than bikes of the last 15-20 years.
The Japanese will never disappoint, in everything they do they put their souls in it until they master it.
I have to agree! I’m new to motorcycles but I’m a big American car guy and always been drawn to harleys and Indians. So imagine my surprise when I fell in love with the Honda rebel. Getting a 500 in a couple of months but I know riding is gonna feel like a sin to me! 🤦🏾♂️
Honda can sometimes disappoint. They play it too safe these days whether it's model offerings or power output. They always seem to design a really awesome engine and then dial the power back to the point that it feels like it's nerfed. At Honda's peak, they were putting out some really cool and exciting bikes. They're like a really really good vanilla ice cream. Awesome but it's still vanilla.
We need Yamaha to make a slightly bigger Bolt with mt09 motor to compete 😉
@@BlackMountainCycles I don’t get it. They actually truly did a great job at Pearl Harbor. It’s just facts 🤷🏾♂️
This man speaks the truth.
I bought the Rebel 1100 DCT a few weeks ago. Only took one ride to get used to the automatic transmission. At 6’5” 300lbs it’s surprisingly comfortable and more than capable. I’ve gotten it up to 100mph easily and have taken it through winding mountain roads like a missile. Between the performance and reliability, you can’t go wrong at that price point.
ugh automatic transmission is garbage. Not even fun to ride.
@@mithrandirthegrey7644are you kidding. The DCT is the best!
@@mithrandirthegrey7644well that isn't okay opinion for you to have, but for other people who would prefer to have an automatic transmission it is a nice option for them.
Think about veterans who have missing fingers or people who are disabled with arthritis in their left hand or their left foot that can't shift motorcycles anymore but still want and know how to ride
@@mithrandirthegrey7644 For commuting, DCT is amazing.
So to summarise this vid:
Is the Rebel 1100 a cruiser? No, it’s too good a motorcycle to be a cruiser.
Honestly, this naked bike/cruiser hybrid might be exactly what I’m looking for.
I'm heavily leaning towards it. I've only road sport bikes, liter bikes specifically. But I'm not really interested in crotch rockets any more. I think this bike can scratch the sport bike itch will not being a sport bike.
Power cruiser continued as Magna and Vulcan S
@@NANA-lq5md I have the 500 and I love it. I imagine the 1100 is just even better. I used to only ride sport bikes, but over time shifted away from them.
I do hope it's a trend that sticks lol
Agree, I think it's an amazing mix 🙂👍
2:13 you are squidding damn hard with those torn jeans.
To be fair jeans without holes provide almost no protection at all.
@@stickfigureman3D He has tough knees though..........
It’s been a Great Beginner Bike For Me! Im at 3,000 miles now. I started in Rain Mode for a few months, Then moved over to Standard. It’s a Great Beginner for the Right Person. And I won’t be upgrading it. She’s Perfect!!! I’ve upgraded the seat, exhaust, mirrors. and grip puppies for a thicker grip… Which really improved the Twitchy Throttle.
Honestly, I believe that "cruiser" is a mindset more than a type of motorcycle. The thing is that traditional "cruiser" motorcycles kinda force you to adapt that mindset whether you want to or not, and I can imagine that the Rebel 1100 isn't like that because you aren't forced into the cruising riding style if you don't want to. I think the Rebel 1100 is for people who know what it feels like to ride spirited/fast, but also want a bike that is comfortable cruising along even at a lower pace than what the speed limit suggests. It's a bike for people who want that duality - NOT for people who wonder if they could be won over by the traditional cruiser riding style in favor of what they are coming from.
I have seen old naked Gold Wings being called cruisers. Just a name. I liked the 1100 Rebel as soon as I saw it. Plenty of power for anything. Single seat, nice luggage rack (available) and really nice styling. Bigger fuel tank would be nice.
What you think about a little bit of off-road on this motorcycle? not in the kind of big stones and all that stuff, no, I mean with off-road something like a dirt road, probably a few stones but nothing critical
Thank you also for sharing your opinion, was really helpful for me
Ride safe!
@@MirdenLayra It's not really built for it out of the gate, so what I'd be most cautious about is the suspension and how prolonged bumpiness will travel to your spine (or rattle something loose (tho I wouldn't expect it).
Positives is that it has a long wheelbase and will be easier to manage if the rear tyre starts slipping out. If you have a pair of knobby tires on it, I'm sure it would fare decent for a street bike. Only real concern is that suspension setup and the fact that you can't really stand on the footpegs while riding if a patch gets particularly rough.
TLDR; smooth gravel/dirt roads is probably just fine with a pair of grippy tires :)
Cheers,
@@Real_MisterSir To start, first I want to say thank you so much, you are in the group of the few persons that take a time to reply to ppl like me that have some doubts about something, and I really appreciate that
The reason of my question was because I been searchin for so many years (3-4) a motorcycle that could have all the purposes... A motorcycle that you could go on a far away travel, that could be perfect on the city, and that could be good (not like a dirt bike or something, nothing critical) on off-road ways...
The one that I think it's more near to that objective for me, probably is the super tenere of yamaha, but for city? idk... I'm not sure... A Harley Davidson? Idk...
I want your personal opinion, I'll be glad to read your personal recommendation with all your experience in the field
cheers and ride safe brother!
🏍
@@MirdenLayra It sounds like what you're in need of is a blend between retrolike looks and all-round capability and also go on some long (and maybe a bit rough) trips. May I ask what price class of bike you're looking at? Is your budget high-end, mid-end, or low-end? (Harley = mid/high end). This info would help narrow down the options :)
Cheers,
Doing my motorcycle license right now on a Rebel 500
This vid help me decide to get the 1100 for sure
This was actually my 1st bike that I started on after I got my endorsement, and I actually did what you suggested and put it in rain mode for about 4-5 months till I got better acquainted with it, thing does like to rip for sure, kind of like my WRX when the turbo kicks in lolz.
Hey bro, Im going to take an MSC in 2 months and I was thinking that the 1100 is a bike I can set on rain mode and move up as I learn all while keeping the se bike instead of selling and buying. I really want to keep forever as I got other plans in life other than buying a new bike every year. Any feedback? I'm 6'1 at 250 poinds and being 34 with a family I know I won't be doing crazy shit.
@@davidzavala337 I'm in the same boat. 6'1, 245, 38, and family. I never learned to ride but this would satisfy me enough as a 1st bike/keep for the long haul.
I love that you release videos everyday, love ur vids and thanks for making vids yam
Yeah, phenomenal video. Covered so many things on this bike. Subscribed baby.
The more I hear about this bikes features and characteristics the more I want it.
Cannot wait to pick my 1100 up this sat from blade honda in the uk. Test rode it the other day its beautiful. Both looks and ride. Its the perfect bike, for me..
so how are you getting on with it
@@EazyDuz18 im absolutely loving it, going out every chance i get when the suns out.
The pillion seat is not the best for my ladys arse so ill need to sort that, but it rides like an absolute dream, and has more than enough grunt to make me shit myself and grin like a schoolkid at the same time.
And thats just in standard mode.
Id like to get a screen (not the oem one, thats nearly a grand)
And maybe eventually bar risers as i prefer a slightly more layed back riding position.
But yeah, highly recommend. I love it.
Bagger one from '23 for me...beautiful burgundy metallic one
I started on an 07 VTX 1300C after about 5 years of no riding. My actual first bike was an 84 XL185, and I can honestly say that I'm glad I didn't go with anything smaller than the 1300 after getting my riding skills back up to snuff.
Thank you so much for this well produced video! Please continue with Cruiser videos, they really compliment the portfolio very well!
And if I may have a wish: I would like to see how you compare the 2021 Fat Bob against this as the current Fat Bob is handling wise probably the sportiest bike from Harley.
Excellent review, with a few personal mods a solid ride. Cheers.
I have just ordered one. 😎 Greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱 Very usefull channel.
I’m loving this rebel content
Getting my Rebel 1100 in two weeks and I could not be any more excited!!!! First bike too
His pants cause me alot of anxiety 😶
Yeah, he's a really bad example setter. Stuff like that causes me to not follow channels.
As someone who has been riding since 2006 I’m really confused by how many likes this comment got, precisely what is the problem?
@@themechanic5671The distressed Jean look. Showing bare skin as he's riding.
Particularly around 06:20
Thanks to your video, I went out and bought a ’22 Honda Rebel CMX1100 DCT with 1000 miles on it, after over 40 years of not riding a bike! It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done! I’m in User Mode right now just to get myself back into the swing of things slowly. A motorcycle with riding modes, what will they think of next?!? Things have come a long way since my brand new 1979 Yamaha XS650 Special. I love my new bike and I highly recommend it for new riders and those who are getting back into the saddle again like me.👍
Thanks for answering my question about beginners using Rain Mode.
Love all the rebel content.
Thinking about having this as my first bike. Rain mode for months
I love these long relaxing Spite videos incl questions. I *feel* that he should do this for every new cruiser
I would LOVE an 1100, but you're right. I want my first time on a bike and the months following to be safe and fun, so the 500 it is for me until riding mechanics become second nature to me. Then onto an 1100 down the road.
I have to say, Texas has some gorgeous roads. These sweeping turns are the stuff of dreams....
Come to Colorado and ride in the Rockies
Texas has gorgeous (most everything).
it’s def the Rebel of cruisers. would love to whip around the city and the river roads with this.
Totally agree with your naked bike assessment. This bike with the very low key but good exterior design is built for practicality and Honda quality!
hey spite! when is your birthday? shall i get you a pair of jeans?
Master jedi are allowed to wear cut jeans on bikes..
You totally sold me on the 1100! I love the cruiser look, and I’m new to motorcycle. Im also 6’0” and 300lbs, so a Rebel 1100 DCT might be my best option for a new bike, over the Honda Rebel 500. My other choice is the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650.
My first bike was a Honda Shadow 750. Still have it. Love Hondas!
Great, thorough review. I just might.
Is Honda going to make a bunch "personalization" accessories like the Sporty or Scout? Like taller bars? (Might help your back) Exhaust?, peg relocation? I did notice the touring kit. Great video.
Hey man, I know you posted a year ago, but I’m looking at the Rebel now and Honda’s accessories are growing healthily. Front windscreen fairing, saddlebags, seats, etc. Hope all is well!
Unfortunately, riding with thread bare jeans with MASSIVE holes is equal to riding with cut off jean shorts. That’s extremely unwise and a poor example for newer riders, obviously. This also creates credibility issues as well. Usually love your content. Please remember: ATGATT (All The Gear, All The Time).
33:00 It's my first bike and its also manual transmission. I have absolutely no problems or dangerous situations with it.
There's no need to scare away responsible/level-headed first time riders from such a beautiful machine.
My first bike was a 600RR 8 years ago and kinda put me off riding...too much anxiety. This one in DCT might tempt me back.
@@rollintroll Believe it or not, MT-07 gave me anxiety. This one doesn't. Must be a preference thing.
very good video ,thank you so much
As a Canadian rider that rides 48 weeks of the year in Canada 🇨🇦 I love your definition of a crappy weather day😂🤣 it just cracks me up laughing, you have no concept of a crappy day for riding believe me.
Okay? That’s like him saying a Canadian has no frame of reference to the hellish heat of Austin Texas in summertime. Just kind of a weird flex about your locale.
I'm about to pick one of these bad boys up in a week and a half. Personally I LOVE the look of these 1100's, headlight n' all. You can get the headlight faring for these that look very similar to the Harley styling, if that's your thing. Me personally i love the "murdered out" in all black looks. But, yes i could see a few chromed out pieces making it look even better, just a few pieces though. I test rode it and OMG it's a dream ride if you ask me. No more thinking about shifting, just plug n' play riding with ALL focus on the scenic views of your ride. I loved it more and more by the minute. I actually fell in love with this bike immediately like none other I have ever ridden. I can't wait to get mine next week.
Loved your review and agree with everything you said except about the looks of it with the headlight. I disagree, it looks fantastic to me. To each their own though. Cheers, and ride safe, all.
I own a Ducati and a few Hondas, so keep those videos coming!
Coming from a 99 VFR800, how would this stack up for a more relaxed ride? Keep in mind my backs preference is more sporty forward leaning
Great review. Now I have testride one 😁
Has a 270 crank so simulates a 90 V-Twin sound and power pulses, a nice exhaust can will make it sound like a Ducati.
for those of those who arnt 6'4 and are 5'6, does anyone know if we could put a bigger bar on it to steep further back and still have the cables/electronics reach?
I wish that gauge cluster was put on the 500 for '21 as well.
Sold... I'll budget a couple thousand for mods & order one within the month. I'm the opposite of the rider dynamic change you described as I'll be coming off a Versys 650 which was the best overall bike I've owned out of 8 bikes. The last one was a customed out Sportster 1200. This one sounds way fun to me....at 60 I think this will be the best of both worlds once I mod it. Thanks for the great, honest, trusted review. I've been on the fence & you've helped me get over the hump...lol
excited to try the DCT (unless I win this one, of course). I wanted a more relaxed naked with comfier ergos, I want to just have a lazy cruise and just enjoy the wind. I think this will be a good option. I think too often people might say "get a harley or indian" but forget that this is like $5k less than the comparable versions of those, too
I own the DCT and it's great. One aspect I think a lot of folks are sleeping on is that the DCT also brings with it really smooth paddle shifters. Putting it in sport mode and going to manual paddle shifting in the twisties is such a fun ride.
@@emilydare7934 wait so to answer the question I just asked in the main comments 🤣 is the dct both manual AND automatic or just automatic?
@@spongebobcubepants7784 Basically both manual and automatic. It has paddle shifters instead of a normal clutch/shifter combo. It's different than a normal manual but when you have it in manual mode it shifts really smoothly.
@@emilydare7934 I won’t bother you with a million more questions so imma look it up rq lmao
@@emilydare7934 idk if I’d like the no clutch bit, is it hard to rev bomb? Are you confined to using the horn?
Hi Yammie, I'm in the process of buyng a Rebel 1100. Your video is very inspiring, thanks. I would like to get a PDF file of the Service Manual for this machine, where to find it? No matter 2021 or 2023 edition. Many thenks,
One question, what do you think about the Honda Fury, because you mentioned an other bunch of cruisers but never compared to ones of Honda cruisers, and this case I mention the Fury because I own one, but you have the gold wings and the VT1300, VT1800, Sabre, Interstate etc...🤔, I would like to hear your opinion about 1100, compared to those thanks 👍
This Bike (DCT version) has made me change my mind about buying a Can-Am Spyder as my first motorcycle; & Yes, I am disciplined enough to leave the bike in rain mode for six months to learn how to ride it. Great video!
How’s the z900 to learn on rain mode ?
I’ve scooters for many years and have some experience with gear motorcycles
@@yashwanthk1142 The Rebel 1100 DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) is a full automatic bike, & it's the only bike in it's class you don't have to learn how to use a clutch.
@@Amynah007 ohh
@@Amynah007 so it’s a bit dangerous to buy a z900 as a first bike?
@@yashwanthk1142 I know nothing about 1st bikes. Danger is up to the individual's ability to find good resources to learn & stay safe.
Y’all really trippin over his jeans😂
I ordered mine, hope to have it by the end of the month... ;-)
If it had a belt or shaft drive I'd go for it . I have a bike with chain drive and having to get down and clean and lube the chain every couple of weeks isn't something I look forward to .
I have the '22 manual version. All previous bikes were dirt bikes/dual sports. The shelf for your butt would be nice. I'm used to it now but at the beginning I had to hold on tight under hard acceleration. Great bike. Maybe the last one for me now at 63.
At 32:28. Handy tip, whenever you're trying to read a name that just doesn't trip off the tongue at all, try reading it backwards... ;)
Didn’t see how that would make any sense. Now I get it.
Im new to bikes but im really fixed on this bike and for me a 2xL 6ft guy i fit and feel great on this bike. Really looking to get this for my first bike. Advice is needed
Did you get it?
Hey Yammie did you see the trailers for the yamaha R7 yet? Its lookin pretty good so far
Man I was so disappointed when I saw the video showing it has an Mt07 parallel twin engine in it, but then just before this video I watched a video of a new mt07 and it was surprisingly quick-ish. Maybe the R7 will actually be a better bike than I thought. Currently I’m hopeful and looking forward to seeing someone actually riding it and putting it through it’s paces.
i dont know anythin about bikes but this one looks absolutely sick.
This seems like the closest bike to my beloved Yamaha 1990 1100 that I had in the '90's. Too bad I can't afford it. In the meantime, I'll put around on my Meteor 350.😎
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for sharing this video! Currently, I'm the proud owner of a BMW F750 GS, but my height has led me to contemplate the possibility of transitioning to a Rebel 1100. I must say, I'm genuinely enamored with the advanced electronics and the unparalleled comfort that my BMW offers.
I'm well aware that these two bikes cater to entirely different riding experiences, and I can't help but wonder if the switch might feel like a substantial downgrade. Most of my riding consists of daily commutes and the occasional 1-2 hour rides, but I do have a penchant for embarking on 2-3 day trips. Can the Rebel 1100 accommodate such adventures?
For context, I stand at 165 cm (approximately 5 feet 5 inches) and weigh 64 kg (about 141 pounds). Your insights on these considerations would be greatly appreciated.
Is there anyway to get a side channel/project to go with the traditional videos of our dear Lord Of Yams going? Maybe call it..
"To Spite The Noobs".. for us cruiser boys and leather dads.
Two Brothers has a great exhaust.
Keep responding to your comments... Africa Twin downpipes, a grinder and a Caberre end piece...open pipes for under 200 bucks,beat that?
I really think Honda did a great job with the Rebel 1100. I'm more into the 60's and 70's style standard style bikes like the Honda CB's but would like a twin in about this size range. The only thing I see from the Japanese brands is the Kawasaki W800 and all the others are more naked sport bikes dressed like a retro and/or have 3 or 4 cylinders. I would love to see Honda build a standard like that around this engine, blacked out would be fine, like the CB1100 of a few years back.
Look at REs. Maybe.
What do you think about the Rebel 1100 when compared to Triumph's Bobber?
I've owned a speed triple, and I can't say anything in regards to the triumph bobber, but I can say something about their engines, and they are phenomenal, and their bobber is a close second to the Indian scout as far as looks go. It's absolutely beautiful, I dont care what anyone says.
Beginner here. Should I get the 500 or make the jump and keep the 1100 in rain mode till I’m comfortable?
thx for this review, I just don't know should I go with manual I love or with something new - dct.
I like rain mode cause it’s t keep you safe! But on a normal day screw that.
Surely you should be tuning your riding style to the road and weather conditions! Must admit I fancy one of these big style.
29:40 - "There are no passenger accommodations so very uncomfortable" lmao!
The reality of the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT ***BIG SCOOTER W/FEW GEARS***. For people with Arthritis and disabilities. Right to the point. God bless USA 🇺🇸.
When you ride it, do you feel a little vibration in the foot pegs specially the right one?
Bad seat, slouching, and bumps transferring to spine. Thanks for reminding my lower back why I gave up on cruisers/cruiser position.
Do you guys sell those awesome neon helmet signs ? That’s super cool !
Think you should be clear that the pillion seat (with pegs) is a factory option with 3rd party choices as well. Sure, everything is a little hard to get right now, but answering "there are no passenger accommodations" doesn't seem like the right answer either.
Am i the first to get chills about spike riding just with jeans on? I'm used to ride with a special motorcycle pants.. ive looked in the first page of reactions but no one was talking about it. is this a dutch thing?
One of my local shop has one in the same livery, I didn't realize they were hard to find.
I’ve heard a rumour the preload for rear suspension is at 3/20 clicks from 1-soft 20-hard and that a 155 pound rider would want around 4-6 preload
Yammie do tools from your website count towards bike giveaway entries????
I've got over 1,000 miles on this bike now. I agree with this assessment however for me being a small 5'1" person, this bike fits pretty good with some slight adjustment.
Im looking at getting the 1100. Have you had a passenger on the bike? Im curious how they fit on it as well? Thanks,
@@TheDantedrake oh they will fit but will they be comfortable? Probably not really. As cruisers go the passenger pillion is a seat pad. Some Corbin seats like the Gunfighter has a bigger cushion. Also, for some of the bigger, heavier riders, the front end is kinda light on this bike. Not sure how well the handling is with a passenger. Overall, this is a fairly small bike (not in cc's but in frame and suspension) so if you love your passenger and expect them to ride with you a lot, I would do them a favor and consider a different bike to be completely honest. If it's an occasional passenger, go for it.
What adjustments did you make?I'm 5'4 and a soon to be new rider..I want to be as comfortable as I can on this bike!!
@@ameda28 I put on a reach seat and just had the shop turn the handlebars down towards the tank as low as they go without hitting it. I didn't find I needed more than that but I like a little forward lean when I ride. Many people put risers on, I don't see the need honestly. Bike is light and most impfor short riders it is also very skinny to straddle.
Thanks for giving your height, ive been looking at the rebel 11 really hard, and i came across this and thought, wtf, i thought they were bigger lol. Ty so much for this review 👍
An ergo package like the Vulcan S would be great.
I want a Rebel 1100 so bad. Just got a bike again, and was only spending $3.5k-$4k. Ended up with a VStar 1300, which I love, and most of my riding is highway miles to work and back... But I'm missing the quickness and lightness of my sport bike days. Hopefully in a few years I can pick up a used one for that same $4k range.
Hi I´m a new rider, just got my license last october. So you say it´s not a beginner bike. Why? I testdrove the bike and just fell in love with it. I must admit I only drove it "Rainmode", but it was quiet easy to handle it in that mode. I must alos admit that it realy has a lot of power and I didn´t dare to drive it in "sport" mode... But again, why isn´t it a good bike for beginners, at lest it´s not so heavy and from my point of view easy to handle!? And: which bike (cruiser, chopper) would you propose for a berginner like me?
My first bike was an 86 450 rebel. I never rode a bike before. I outgrew it before I got it home. I realize this is better, but it reminds me of that waste of money on rebel.
You “ don’t like the looks”??!! WTF?? It looks great!! I think the rebel line looks way better than the Yamaha MT line. Of course, That’s just a personal preference, but the rebels are very unique with the mid control position, the peanut tank, and the low single seat. I think they look awesome!
It's fugly. No two ways about it. The reason it's black is so that you cant see how little body work you get and how ugly the rest of the machinery are.
I just loathe the tank, FCR(France) sorted that out,what a difference! Rectangle tail lamp, when everything else is round from F-R, what's that all about Honda?
@@9999plato Interesting opinion but I guess looks are subjective. I get compliments on my bike every time I’m out riding. I think the angular “ insect look” of most modern naked bikes ( lookin at you Yamaha MT) is really ugly. To each his own. 😊
Just sold my 2 HD baggers. We should call these step down bikes, not beginner bikes. I am looking at this or the 500. Gotta have something smaller and lighter.
I love it's

I’m gonna have to get some different handlebars for mine, because I’m a short guy with alligator arms and the reach is just a little too far for me. Other than that, I’m loving the bike.
Honda makes a seat that moves you forward more try that first
It's Sept 2022....i'm looking hard at a 2022 Rebel 1100.....i've been a Honda CBR954RR owner for 20 years...i'm 50 yrs old and need something a lil more comfy for longer rides, but something that still has some 'get up and go'. I think this may do the trick.
Really want to get this as my first bike next year.. really hate doing the hole beginners thing for anything, typically getting something underpowered are a bit crap to learn on then paying more to get something good after a few months... weather its shooting a competition air gun all the way to driving a car..

My girlfriend with no experience except MSF course just purchased this in a DCT. After a few hours in the parking lot getting her confidence up we hit the road. Great bike, lots of fun. I actually like the DCT a lot.
I had the 500 and just got my 1100. the only real complaint I have about the bike is the seat on all models. It's just a pain for long rides. My HD buddy's love long rides but are not as fast.
Wild Ass or Airhawk air/gel seat cushion. Haven’t tried beaded seats yet.
I need a Yammie opinion. Would the R7 be good to upgrade from an 07 zx6r? I want a showroom new bike, but I’m afraid the power won’t please me for a long time.
No, I don't think so, from what I hear, the R7 is more comparable to a Ninja 650, but with a little more power. It will be better down low in the RPMs than your zx6r. But won't have near the final power.
Not a cruiser ? Okay.....it's a Naked Sports Cruiser. Wow, a new sub sub section. 😁
Is the Rebel 1100 a good motorcycle for city driving? I heard it can function pretty well for urban usage when put on automatic and rain mode.
Yes this bike is built great for city as well.
i've never riden a bike before but now I want this bike!
Does it have an O2 sensor. A spark plug insulator will richen it up.
I shared some of these annoyances until I learned how to use the DCT. I find I now ride using mostly the sport mode and shifting manually; or using the drive mode and using the downshifting switch if needed. Know that it's a learning transmission, so the best thing you can do is shift manually so it can learn your shifting characteristics, so it does take time with a brand new bike. I'd like to know what windshield that is. Nice!
