2021 Honda Rebel 1100 Review | MC Commute
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Big Red’s Rebel cruiser line grows this season with the addition of the 2021 Rebel 1100 ($9,999 as tested, with optional Dual Clutch Transmission). Honda’s latest cruiser builds upon the Rebel’s lovable character by adding power and high-end electronic rider aids, including Honda’s exclusive DCT.
--
Rebels are renowned for their friendly demeanor and ease of use by virtually any sized rider, short or tall. And the 1100 continues the format. Mid-foot controls, a low seat, and slim powertrain make for a bike that’s easy to straddle, especially for smaller riders. Although a tad narrow, the handlebar has a pleasing upright bend, that will work well for most. Overall the controls are well-proportioned but a tad cramped for a 6-foot-tall rider.
Honda’s optional $700 DCT is a game changer for novice and more experienced riders alike. It takes the worry out of synchronized clutch and gear-shifting action replacing it with a fully automated experience, much like a scooter. Still, riders can select each of the six gears, manually via paddle-like buttons on the left-hand-side switch gear. A monochrome round-face dash display keeps tabs on vehicle vitals and is easy to read at a glance.
Steadily refined over the last 11 years, Honda’s DCT programming is so intuitive to control input and so fast in operation (we’re especially fond of its racebike-like auto-blip downshift feature) that it will make you think twice about riding a manual-transmission-equipped motorcycle. Another plus: the system is virtually maintenance-free. Our only gripe is that the gearbox doesn’t offer the Africa Twin adventure bike’s “G switch,” enabling faster (and more sporty feeling) clutch engagement.
With around 80 hp available at the 16-inch Dunlop rear tire, the Rebel 1100 zips around town with enough oomph to lift the front wheel in first gear. Although to be fair, it feels less punchy than the Africa Twin’s engine (read the report in the 2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport ES DCT MC Commute Review) from which it is borrowed.
The 1,084cc (66-cubic-inch) parallel twin employs an uneven firing order designed to mimic the firing pulses of a V-twin. Since its Honda, the character of the engine is smoother and less rowdy as compared to other 270/540-degree firing interval parallel twins we’ve ridden (i.e., Aprilia’s 660, KTM’s LC8c, and Yamaha’s CP2 power units). Still, it’s rambunctious enough to put a smile on your face, and we appreciate its calculated level of engine vibration that doesn’t become annoying after a couple of hours in the saddle. Adjustable engine power, traction, and engine-brake control make for a tailored riding experience. With a push of a button the Rebel can go from mild to wild. Cruise control is also standard.
In spite of its 509-pound curb weight (claimed), in typical Rebel fashion it impresses with how light and maneuverable it feels in motion. It hugs turns well and offers a surprisingly lean angle before the footpegs kiss asphalt. The calibration of the suspension is equally pleasing and overall ride quality is astounding, even over rough, broken pavement despite having less than 4 inches of rear suspension travel. The Rebel 1100 is the most versatile riding mid-control cruiser we’ve ever ridden. Well done, Big Red.
Twin hydraulic disc brakes do a fine job of slowing down the Rebel and include IMU-powered ABS. Although styling-wise we wished the Rebel used a twin front disc setup, we can’t knock the performance of the solo setup. We also appreciated the power and response of the rear brake.
Aside from its exemplary performance, the Rebel offers a high level of build quality. Though we wish it would have done a better job of hiding the instrument and switch gear wiring. Designed with customization in mind, a wide range of OE accessories are available and Honda says the Rebel can be stripped easily. Aftermarket companies like Burly and Vance & Hines also offer a variety of bolt-on accessories to make the Rebel yours.

I love how casually Waheed talks about doing hooligan stuff. "Of course we have disabled traction control, so as to avoid any interference with our obligatory dank wheelies"
As a shorter rider who favors mid controls rather than the typical foot-forward controls of most cruisers, this could just be the bike for me. I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing one in person very soon. Thanks for the review.
Im happy that Honda made this bike. When I was shopping around in 2018 for a small cruiser with mid controls, there were only 4 bikes for me to choose from; Kawasaki Vulcan 650, HD 883 & 1200, and Yamaha Bolt. I liked the HD 1200 so I bought it. But, after the excitement of a new bike wore off, it really was an underpowered bike for a 1200cc motor. The suspension was bad too. For 10k, i felt like i bought a new bike that was built in the 90s. After learning the history of Sportsters, i realized i did buy a bike from the 90's. But that Evo motor still brings a smile to my face. Even though the Honda 1100 isnt a v-twin, it could be what the Sportster should've been for 2021 in terms of power, electronics and suspension.
Thanks for the great review 👏👌👍 I currently have a 500 with my 1100 arriving ANY day now. I'm 5'4", the height & narrow body is perfect for me. I'm SO excited & can't wait!!! Thanks again!!!!!
I like how nimble, agile and torquey this bike is. Probably the best commuter bike for not so tall people.
Good job Honda!
PS : Could the side mounted camera please go away. Chin mounted shows us what you see more clearly
Agreed
Ha! I kinda liked it. Go figure.
Side mounted gives us a good view of his buddy on the same bike, and I suspect that is not an accident.
This feels like a bike where you can just toss a set of saddle bags on the back and tour better than most cruisers on the market (that aren't actual baggers).
I'm picking mine up in two days!!!
So excited!
(Just like the one he's riding!)
It's a beautiful bike.
None are in yet
I'm#1 on the list at my dealer
Did you get THE CALL?
nice man. hope you like it! ride safe
@@Gregs_World T H E C A L L
Let me know how it is. I am planning on buying it
Waheed is the best moto journalist - his review are always detailed and spot on . I also appreciate his subjective views of the bikes . He ll let you know if and why the bike is or is not for him .
I dont believe any of them journalists, its their job to say good stuff about the bikes or they wont be sponsored by any companies.
If you can live with the wet mouth tsk sounds
Thanks man. Yeah, they can't do it like us. Not even close.
Glad to see an initial review so soon. I hope you get a chance to do a regular MC Commute on a manual version as that bike is on my short list for my next purchase in 4 years or so! It would be really awesome if it also had the touring fairing and saddlebags.
I'm looking at beginner bikes. This looks great. I want something that I can work up to and learn without having to do the "upgrade" route.
@@dharokthewretched7373 yeah, it sounds like they set the big Rebel up for folks like you....the Indian Scout is setup much the same - keep the revs low and power delivery is pretty tame, but rev it out and she really hauls butt up above about 5000 rpm. Of course you get a little more electronics and quite a different style with the Honda than the Indian. Price wise it's hard to beat the Rebel 1100.
@@brianhofmeister1279 Thank you. That's what it seemed like. Feels like a bike to "grow into" for those who, despite being a beginner wouldn't be irresponsible and aren't too afraid. I'd respect the bike, as it would be a new thing for me, but I'm comfortable on the road and watching for others. I drive an 18 wheeler for a living, and that gives me confidence on the road. I'd probably just hang out in the small streets while I learn to ride though before I even touch the high way haha.
My goal is to first, go to a harley davison training course and see if I'd even like to ride after I get the endorsement.
@@dharokthewretched7373 take an MSF course and you can skip the driving exam and get your endorsement by passing the class. Two birds, one stone. Bikes are a great way to unwind and take in the scenery in a whole new way! I hope you get your license, get a bike and enjoy yourself for many years. And if you do, please encourage others you meet to do the same, and set a good example by riding safely and letting others in on the fun. Godspeed.
@@brianhofmeister1279 Thank you. Those are my plans. Safety first and always!
I have a feeling Honda is going to sell a ton of these. I also think it's going to eat away at Harley Sportster sales like candy.
Especially in Europe... oh, wait, Sportsters aren't sold in EU anymore anyway
Probably in Europe, but not America. Cruiser riders are all about the V-Twin, made in Murica, and the Indian and Harley Davidson badge.
@@Lex-Rex except any half-intelligent cruiser fan should give HD the finger for not updating the Porkster and still charging 9-10k (700-800$ for ABS? Please...) for a 50 hp bike
@@StirbMensch Refer to other response. Cruiser bois do not care -- especially in the United States. The US is the king of V-Twin push rod, low and slow cruisers.
@@Lex-Rex is that why HD sales have plummeted in the last 10 years or so? :D
I love your reviews. You certainly do your homework. I watch every new vlog
. Thank you!
This is one of the most thorough and informative reviews I’ve ever seen. Nice job.
Ya That's What i`~Thought✔️.
Adam, you forgot to thank Honda for a "Keyed ignition"...lol
Except for the location which is stupid
that's something from the past that should be completely abandoned
one day the key will get bent when you brush your left knee against it and you will be stranded
or something else hanging from it will fall off and you will never know
that's the dumbest "RETRO" thing they did with this bike
and if they could put a keyless ignition on the ADV 150... There should've been one on this bike
they said they only did it to clean up the area by the speedometer but obviously a proximity T would've done the same thing
this was laziness and they "CHEAPED" out on this aspect of the bike
Lol. I did. So stoked. Love keyed ignitions, lol.
@Hendrix Houston Nice.
@@AdamWaheed Thanks 4🅰️⭐Review✔️.
@@bryanschwabenland6657 Thanks man.
$10k is a great price!
I bought my Africa Twin new, as a one-year hold-over model, for $9700, and I feel like I stole the bike. Getting a new, liter-class Honda cruiser for $10k is as close to an honest steal as you'll get.
I wanna wait a year or two and get a used one I wish I had the money for a new one
It's kind of unfortunate that he has to stay with the Honda nanny. I feel like we would have got a better feel for this bike had it not been through stop in go traffic. I do appreciate your videos, as we have the same build and height. I was looking at one of these as a sportster competitor but I was most concerned about how it would fit a tallish rider. Hopefully you can get it back some other time and get some
Oh is that who that is up front haha, wondered why it was a boring ride
It says it’s an “MC Commute” video. I got a great feel for how well the Rebel 1100 with the DCT would do as a daily driver - very good, from what I see here. That’d be most of my riding, so I’m glad to get a real-word look at it.
Commute on a 1100 cruiser, feels a strange choice
lol @ nanny. when i was "shopping" a 'honda nanny' had to go with me. i was interested in the Fury. i told them if i cant open it up, feel its potential, ride, handling etc id turn around, bring it back and buy bike elsewhere. i was told Honda protocols etc. When we got a cpl blocks away the rep stopped at a red light and said "ok...ride it your way and ill just follow you. just dont take off and lose me." i rode "my" way. when we got close to the dealer on the way bk he waved me over and he took the lead. at the dealership he said "thats how you should demo ride dude! but u didnt hear it from me ok?" i bought the bike that hour lol 19 Fury
Can’t wait for the aftermarket section to catch up. These things are gonna make foe fun builds you can keep and enjoy a lot longer than the 500 projects were used to seeing.
Don't forget that Adam's hair adds at least 15hp on any bike!
Can't wait to hear it's sound with aftermarket exhoust
Can’t wait till April to get mine, I’m getting the Manual version
I see your an adult. Good on ya.
@@justinhofer3640 i dont really understand the hate that automatics get. I feel like its gonna be like with cars how everyone i knew used to have a manual then everyone got an automatic. I ride manual myself but thats an economic decision.
@@UnsolicitatedWisdom The last people who are going to think motorcyclists are tough and cool are other motorcyclists. Automatics are totally fine.
Good on you for keeping it MANual
@@tonyrichengod9280 been nothing but fun, put a tbr exhaust on it, and some upgrades, super fun bike to ride, great lean angles up the canyon where I live up in cache valley
I just bought it a week ago and it’s AWESOME! Crazy power!
How's it doin now? I'm thinking of getting one in a few months as a first time rider, it was either the Rebel 1100, Shadow Phantom, or Indian scout 60 but since I want to use it for daily commute instead of my truck I eliminated the Indian Scout and I think the Shadow Phantom doesn't have enough power
This Seems Like VG Bike, maybe 24/25✔️.
Excellent and informative video.
I got 12,000 miles on my Rebel 1100cc DCT and still love it. Most of the time I am using the manual custom mode. It's a lot of fun on the Jersey shore with some flamenco guitar music in my helmet.
Very cool bike, I’d love for Honda to take it a step further and bring back the magna - the first gen ones!
I think this bike is going to be a stronger competition to the sportster than the Indian scout.
The Sportster 883 is already out of the ballpark, IMO by performance alone the Rebel 1100 should go up against the Scout and maybe a new Vulcan (unless Kawa is gonna come out with the obscenely powerful new Vulcan)
@@StirbMensch the scout maybe but I can’t see the Vulcan holding a candle to this bike
A lot of people like V-Twins when it comes to cruisers and they also like the made in Murica when it comes to cruisers. They also like the Indian and Harley Davidson badge.
@@Lex-Rex except that if you compare them by price range AND performance, any V-Twin except for the Scout will fall flat on its face against the parallel twin of the Rebel 1100
@@StirbMensch Does not matter to cruiser bois. They want their HD and Indian push rod V-Twins. BTW, my 1290 Super Duke R would destroy this thing LOL -- it has a V-Twin.
His hair is 1100 cc too xD
I love the position of the camera and the other rider. We get to see two angles in one shot
With the DCT, is there a way to free rev to get attention of ppl around you without having to honk?
Been waiting for this for so long..thank you MC USA N
Mr.Waheed..big fan of you since your 2009 shootout of Aprilia Shiver Vs Duc Monster 696 !!!!
21:34 there it is
That thing is a hell of a deal. with the DCT it is 9,999USD, that includes all the electronics and cruise control. 9,299USD without the DCT, still has all the electronics and cruise control. So for the price of an 883 Sportster or Indian scout 60, you're getting the most technologically advanced cruiser on the market and still will leave most cruisers in the dust as it has 90hp and non-DCT is under 500lbs, DCT is a hair over 500lbs.
I’m not sure who was asking for this bike, but from the looks of this Sabre 1100 whomever buys it will probably be happy with it. Seems like a good (it’s a Honda...) bike.
I was definitely asking for it. I've had the 500 for a few years, and always wanted them to put either the Africa Twin engine or the CB650 engine into it to make it a fully complete bike. Now they have, and I'm definitely going to fork over the money I've been telling them they should shut up and take.
Sure would be nice if they start building bikes for those with longer inseams without having to add aftermarket, stretching, etc.
I'm so excited about this even though I have no plans of buying one haha. Probably because I rode the Rebel 300 and it was one of the easiest and comfortable bikes to ride ever.
this is gonna be my first bike! DCT!
Once you learn how to operate it you'll find out how it has a far quicker response than clutch shifting. You can still shift gears and automatic mode. You don't even have to let off the throttle to paddle shift. there's no timing.
HD 1200 - 57 horsepower
Honda 1100 - 86 horsepower
Per usual, ill go with the Honda. Rode another Harley recently and when I give it 100% it only gives me 50% of what I'm hoping to feel 😑
Thanks!! Another great video Adam!! I will definitely need to test ride a Honda Rebel 110 with DCT and with the conventional transmission to compare. I'm used to using the friction zone on conventional motorcycle transmissions for slow speed manoeuvres. Just curious... How is the slow-speed manoeuvring with the DCT?
They need to make a tracker version of this. There was some blueprints going around for a tracker style months back. THAT would be sweet!
There's also a plan for a supercharged one. Not sure if it's for this one or the Africa Twin.
How about a street fighter with this engine?
Would you characterize it as a accommodating step up from the 500cc? If someone was getting back into motorcycles after many years and had been looking at the Rebel 500, would you consider this 1100cc version easily managed?
The 1100 is easily managed. Using rain mode cuts back power by a lot, for those who prefer that.
This Good Bike Not to Heavy to, may Be a Option 4 me, Lol if economy Turns Around. As it Stands CycLes... Don't make much Sense With $5.00 + Gas, as They Did@ $2.00, Lol.
Been waiting for this knowing I won’t buy one, but knew I’d love to see you guys check it out! 🙌
Been waiting for this review, thanks Adam!
I ride the OG 1982 Honda Magna. I've been holding out for Honda to reinvent the V45, but I don't see it happening any time soon. This Rebel looks like my next bike. Thanks for the thorough review. ✌
Perfect bike for me . I have my left leg injured and my left hand injured . So it’s just like a scooter? Twist and go ?
Waheed! You are my favorite moto journalist ever! But, where are the twisties? opening it up on the highway? Where's the obligatory wheelie!? You even wheelied the 500! Can you redo this review without the DCT and give it one of your standard reviews? I've been waiting so long to see you do one of your standard reviews on one of these. You're still my favorite.
the first nail to Harley's coffin for 2021 onwards.
I've yet to try a DCT motorcycle but I'm still really into shifting my own gears on two wheels.
I know. Don’t like scooter 🛵
i`~Think Do iT YourseLf May be Better iTs Much Lighter, & if Your Stuck With This Bike 4, 15+ Years ... LikeLy Be TroubLe Free, Lol.
I think the Manual Tramsmission model is $700 less and 22# lighter..
This really appeals to me as a second bike to my ZX14 for a fun little run around cruiser. Really dig it actually.
little cruiser? with 1100cc?? :D
The Honda 1100 NT Model has also been announced for 2022, I'll definitely buy that one.
it hasnt really been announced, just patents & rights have been filed under this name. But yeah, most likely it's coming 2022
@@roy7602 Can't wait!!!!!!
@@OperationFoxley19441 Me, too. I'm just so pumped because if we "normal non-press" guys getthe bike, there will be much more videos on YT and reviews on websites, blogs and reddit. I dont have preordered a rebel and will maybe take a look at a used one in 1-3 years, but I'm really keen on the reviews nonetheless!
congratulations on your way of orthophonic speech with so dense information!
Award goes to Yiorgis for using orthophonic in a sentence. Even though it just sounds like dude is always trying to suppress a fart when he is talking.
Great review.
Not so good camera angle with jiggly hypersmooth on the helmet
Love this thing with DCT & 270 degree twin!
Would love to see a hot hatch with that's setup in the future.
great video. you earned a subscriber. i have a question. Is the 2021 rebel 1100 cc better at leaning than the 500 cc version? I mean the angle at the 500 cc is around 35 degrees. Can you lean more with the 1100? Except from the power is there another reason to prefer the 1100 than the 500 ? thank you
I respect how you're talking about the bike while we can see your friend riding it in front of you, kind of like two different point of views from.the bike lol it was cool
I think this will be my rental of choice. Don't think I want to commute on it, but will be nice for trips. Thank you Honda.
I’m on a stupid meeting just waiting to push play!!
The electronics are amazing! I drive a Royal Enfield. I have one of those fancy headlights so you can drive at night.😂
Hey sometimes that's all you need haha.
If Royal Enfield makes a Continental GT 1000 with a bigger parallel twin it could be a good competitor to this.
This, Triumph Bobber, and Indian Scout/60 give people some interesting choices within a few thousand
No missed shifts with DCT. Looked what happened to manuals in cars. Young people do not want clutches. Automatics will pull more people into motorcycles
You're right also old guys like me with arthritis in my clutch hand and a bum left knee. DCT just makes sense for my next/final bike. Cheers!
Lol automatics are boring af, bikes are supposed to be manual lol
@@josephlemons Holy fuck teach me to be cool
@@josephlemons Personally, I like shifting a bike and would never buy an automatic for myself. But I’d like to get one of these automatics for my wife lol. It’s just less for her to think about. Brake and power is all she needs to cover.
Looking at getting a new bike to replace my Kawasaki Versys 1000LT. Love it but open heart surgery has dictated I reduce the height and weight of my next road companion. This Honda has most of what I'm looking for at a price I can pay cash for. Your about my size I think, 200lbs and 6 ft. My two questions for you are: size and comfort of cockpit and your thoughts on a road trip about 2500 miles over a week to ten days? Wanted a 400 - 475lbs machine with somewhere around 75-100hp and lower seat height than my Kaw. I 'm 72 and been riding since 1965.. Have own several rides, just to name a few Honda 305 Scrambler & CB450, Yamaha SX650, Honda VFR800 and a Harley Fatboy as well as many dirt bikes. What say you... Thanks Shack
Would love to see the DCT on the 300 and 500 if one of the goals is to draw in new riders.
From what I've heard, the DCT adds quite a bit of weight, which is why it's only available on the 1100.
@@RialuCaos It would make sense to put it on 300 or 500 as they are lighter.

Great Review Adam! I must say I love this engine with it's 270 degree crankshaft. It would be a natural move up for someone that has a 500 Rebel as you said. But! Does it really fit into the traditional cruiser market? I would have to say no. The traditional cruiser market is and has always been dominated by Vee Twins. Although it does have several things going for it. Price, Honda reliability along with good looks and sound. I would stick with a manual transmission but DCT could be a big plus for some. Honda just may have something.
I Love not shifting gears...just ride...twist & go is great
@@robertsalyers1351 Thanks! Love it!

@@tonimula1182 Yes.. Vulcan S with Extended Reach - I own a Vulcan S..
I agree. I'm forcing myself to like the styling. Much prefer the look of the Vulcan S
Cool bike, but to a lot of people chain maintenance gets old if you actually ride a lot and ride in all weather. (Yes, I know adventure bikes are often chain-drive, but that is a different market segment). If targeting Harley, a belt drive would be helpful.
Agree completely. I have a 107 Fat Bob and love it, but this Honda is a temptation...except for that chain. I have a warrantee issue coming up with the condensation building up on warm sunny days at the bottom of the cluster. As long as I don't get any grief from Harley on this I'm staying with the Fat Bob. Otherwise, that Rebel is looking real nice.
I'm waiting for the day where we no longer need to maintain are chains all the time. Didn't someone make a chain like that? Though from what I understand its not wide spread yet.
I have 13,000 miles of complete neglect on my Xring chain. Chain maintenance is overrated in my personal experience. Chain maintenance got old for me too so that’s the path I took with my current chain 😆
4:41 try installing a 2-2 true dual exhaust without crossover, with one pipe each side, and you'll have what you wish for. 😍👍
Need a bike that does trips and has good wind protection and pannier racks.. wish we could have seen a fairing model
Wouldn't that be the CTX700 DCT? I guess it does not have the same amount of power. Your right
It's coming
Thnz partner for all the info. Very clear and informative video. Great work on this review in what looks like is an awesome city/open road (nyc) motorcycle. Really considering it for my birthday at the end of the year. ThNX AGAIN. STAY SAFE! STAY HEALTHY!
Did Adam discuss the Honda 1100's competition? I'd love to know his thoughts on the Indian Scout and HD 1200 bikes compared to the Honda 1100. If you were going to buy one of the 3 - Honda Rebel 1100, HD 1200 or Indian Scout - which one would you purchase? Thanks, Adam.
Don’t forget Triumphs offerings. They make every version of motorcycle you could ask for.
I wish these reviews would mention a few more things. Is there a center stand? Does it come with a tool kit? What kind of valves and what's the valve check/adjust interval? No center stand on a chain driven bike is a deal breaker for me. Surely there's time in a 23 minute video to mention those things!
@Mark I agree with the need for shaft drive instead of a chain. Either way, a center stand should be included, or at least available as an accessory.
Great review. Can’t wait to get mine
Where do I find Rebel 1100 accessories, windshield, second seat saddle bags etc.
Great video. Links please
Getting me one, this bike is amazing, lots of extras, lots of bike for that price, and it is Honda
That guide held up the ‘Heed. Good review anyway. This is one of the first cruisers that has ever grabbed my attention. I want to test ride one.

I've never owned a Rebel but I did own a 750 honda Shadow and it was a wonderful experience...I'm currently on a Suzuki Burgman 400 and wonder if I'd like this 1100 dct over my Suzuki Burgman Scooter.
I hate shifting gears...I can do it I just don't like it
The question is will they make a cb1100 X. Would be great to upgrade my 500x to that.
Adam, how would you compare it to the Triumph Bobber Black? I haven't been able to find a Rebel test model yet and I'm trying to choose between the two.
Hell yeah, been waiting for this one!
Hey man, what's the maximum comfortable raider's height for this motorcycle you think?
It would be great if you could cover riding impression, sound of exhaust, agility, handling, feeling of acceleration etc. Please make another one with those in mind. Thank you.
exactly boringly talked about stats which everyone already knows.
Exactly. Poor review. Very out of touch reviewer.
For some reason this just makes me want Honda to bring back the Valkyrie 😭
I accidentally came across a Valkryie in a parking lot while out motovlogging on my ZX-14R a couple of years ago, and had a nice chat with the owner. Valkyrie's are a special bike, for sure.

Never owned a bike but i took the msf course at a harley dealer on a street 500. You think the rebel 1100 would be a good starter bike?

My man!! I would watch you giving a review on a turtle!! Another great vid...
How is this thing at 75-80mph highway speed? Is it buzzy? Or engine screaming is it confortable?
Technical correction: IMU does not give "positional awareness". It gives orientational awareness.
This is so nice. I wonder what Honda will do with the Shadow line if this 1100 takes off...
I'm sure they'll just keep selling them as long as people keep buying them.
I was looking forward to seeing you give it the beans.. and.. then you rode it so gently. Who was the guy you were riding with? Your boss? A Honda guy?
Does this bike have a *cross-plane crank* and *270° ignition* timing?

But for some reason, Honda avoids all mention anywhere of "cross-plane" or "270°". :-)
@@daveinwla6360 I read in a article somewhere about the 270 firing. I think on cycle world
@@XanhDT89 - RUclips's "Views from the Man Cave" also lists the 270° firing order. And looking up the crankshaft for the Africa Twin, one also finds a 270° firing order. Honda just didn't want to admit that its mid-grunt twins now have the same cross-plane crankshafts that Yamaha has been touting for a few years. :-)
its a very nice motorcycle, but how did Honda put the cruise control on the wrong side?
Great video. Not a cruiser guy but I would love to ride one of these.
Love the Rebel 1100💯👍🏽 Strange to watch Adam ride a few hundred feet from my house in Murrieta🏍
Nice job! My wife’s black DCT to replace her Rebel 500 is supposed to show up any day now. Now I just gotta sell that 500!
sry at some point i started to skip through the vid since i was looking for some actual driving impressions - so did you actually do anything with this bike except going in a straight line? sth. like curves for example?
Looks like Honda has taken the Harley Davidson sportster design and brought it into this century!
Just copycats with more ponnies. Nothing beats a raw motorcycle. Electronics are a joke.
Does the DCT come with maneuver mode like in goldwing's?
always, yes.
About time..thank you Adam👍🏽👍🏽
