Im riding my rebel 1100 DCT since 2022.... extremely happy! Fun bike all around
👍🏼
Very handy for people with arthritic left hands.
Couldn't agree more! The automatic transmission is great and allows you to concentrate more fully on the traffic around you instead of worrying about gear shifting.
Just bought a 2024 Honda Rebel 1100T DCT about 7 weeks ago and have ridden about 800 miles so far! I really love it because the DCT automatic transmission enabled me to transition from my Suzuki Burgman 400 maxi scooter to a fun, agile, powerful motorcycle almost seamlessly! I have kept it "rain" mode while I learn how to control a bike that is so much more powerful than my 400cc maxi scooter.
Give it time. I started on a honda shadow 750, manual transmission. Just make sure you're not doing the zigzag through traffic, but when you have a clear line of sight and an open road, give that throttle a little extra pull, don't be dumb and get used to the new power.
@@NoHandleWantedAtAll Exactly! Thanks for the advice. Being a relatively new motorcycle rider, I definitely don't have the skill or nerve to start zigzags. The Honda Rebel 1100 DCT is pretty impressive even in rain mode.
What do you think of the new design of the model? I'm riding a Honda Navi and want to upgrade to the model very soon. Wondering how you like it?
@@keyirajohnson9290I love it!!!! Fairing/windscreen could be bigger. As well as fuel capacity. (Would like at least 5 gal)
@@keyirajohnson9290 The design is great, although I think it has remained essentially the same for the last several years other than color changes to the body and wheels. The center of gravity is a little higher than a maxi-scooter so slightly more difficult to do slow maneuvers and tight turns. Biggest adjustment is the power, only need to pull the throttle a small amount to achieve the same acceleration and speed compared to smaller cc bikes.
I have owned a dct since 2022 and love it. It leans like crazy, has major power, is light. And I live in cali so I split lanes, I don’t have to worry about shifting when people cut in front of me.
Bro only 6k views but best reviewing video on the youtube🤜 exactly what i was looking for cuz im learning how to ride and planning to get this
Thanks. I've been considering this bike and your review was super helpful!
Laughed the entire time! Thoroughly enjoyed your commentary😂
I just traded in my 1100 dct for a 24 Road Glide. The Rebel was a solid bike, I put about 5k on it before it traded it in. It was quick, light and very agile. I changed a bunch of stuff, added a batwing fairing, forward controls, some Viking bags, crash bars, unbaffled Coffman Thunder exhaust, and a mustang seat. One of the reasons for trading it in was the tiny gas tank. It was fine for in town stuff, but on the freeway I was getting about 120 miles per tank, and sometimes less, depending on how spirited my ride was. The next major thing was the suspension is actually not that great. It was fine on smooth roads, but here in Milwaukee that is rarely the case. Also, even with the upgraded seat my tailbone was killing me on longer trips.
The DCT was amazing on for local trips on the freeway, especially in stop and go traffic. (We can't lane split here). I generally never put in manual mode. I always told people that the bike can shift faster than you can think about shifting. My biggest gripes with the DCT was that it loves to be in 6th gear, unless your in sport mode. I ran a custom user mode so I could tweak the engine braking, but still have full throttle response. The other major issue I had, and this is more of a safety thing, is that it's always engaged and ready to go, so one whiskey throttle could be a bad day. You do get used to doing slow speed maneuvers by modulating the rear brake. I also never really used rain mode unless I was in my underground garage with it's very dirty and super slippery floor. Rain mode sucks the soul out of the bike.
It was great for in town riding, but not great for long distance riding. Sure people do it, but they are either younger or in better shape than I am in.
I got the Rebel because I felt like it was the most bang for the buck: ride modes, cruise control, more than enough power for how I ride, and the DCT tech is cool. The road glide fixes most of my issues I had with the rebel, and the tech on it is great. It's not as quick as the rebel was off the line (of course this could just me relearning how to shift), and the ride is more comfortable. Heck I even like the stock seat. I am not a super fan of the rear brake pedal ergonomics so that will be on the first things I change out. Then maybe the exhaust, it doesn't sound great. The Rebel with the Coffman Thunder sounded amazing.
Great video!
I've owned 2 HD. Road King and still own my VRod
I bought a Rebel about 4 weeks ago.
Other than the 27" seat height, the Rebel will pay for itself in the long run.
HD vibrate too much for my liking and are very hard on my hands (arthritis and carpel tunnel)
The HD also puts off mega heat.
I get neither on my Rebel and on Sport Mode it can hang with the best of them
Lastly
No price comparison between a Rebel and a Glide
Thanks. I didn’t get to play with the custom mode. Wish I did. Hopefully I’ll get to ride one again
Dont agree wirh all, but rigjt for the most part, not getting rid of this already collector bike. Nex is on my liar is chief indian, i rode it makes my smike juat like my Rebell 1000cc. After i dial my rebell suspension pot hols where just cake. There is a formuka base on the rider weight and is like majic. D9nt like those Harley plasric faeinf with radio and what not, i prefer a huge plexi instead.
@@theinfinitryda custom mode doesnt do much. Even with the lowest engine breaking setting I still get quiet alot of engine breaking. Rebel is a great bike but man Honda makes it harder to modify this bike. Every other time I tried updating something and a screw or bolt strips off. We have engine component bolts stripping off when trier to be removed. So much potential in this bike but only if after market starts supporting it.
Yeah, that is probably one of the few negatives I have about the 1100 DCT - in standard mode I am getting only around 150 miles per tank, maybe slightly more if I really fill the tank to the absolute top. And you are also right that for long distance riding, you can get pretty sore on the 1100 after a few hours. My Suzuki Burgman 400 Maxi Scooter, which I still have, is actually more comfortable for longer rides.
I have the 2023 Rebel1100T DCT. this is my 3rd bike. I absolutely love it simply because it is sooo much fun to ride. The DCT took some getting used to. I don't have a problem with shifting a bike so that wasn't a factor in my decision to get this bike. I bought it because I just wanted something I could get on and enjoy my day out riding. It handles so well and is easy to maneuver around a parking spot or even in those sketchy parking spots along the road to take in some views. I feel confident with it and I am soo happy I have it. My favorite is the cruise control.... Love love love it. My hand always gets numb on a long stretch of road and I can just turn cruise control on and give my hands a break.. Just love this bike. Thanks for the video and your Insite..
Good Video I own a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT love riding it and with 125HP/125ft/lbs of torque it will just point and shoot anywhere in traffic you want to be, most if my riding is in the inner city Chicago so the DCT is perfect for me
I love my Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. I used to ride a Harley in my twenties and last year ( now in my forties) got this bike and it’s perfect for me. Got me back on the road. Love it❤
I’ve had mine for a couple of years now. At 6’2 and 250 the “stock” position wasn’t that friendly after a forward control kit and a Corbin seat. It made a world of difference.
just a friend .offset your motorcycle behind cars at a stop so u dont got crushed .
honda may be reliable, but i find the vtwin cruisers more beautiful
You can use paddle shifter in DCT. Great for downshifting on hills/curves. Slow maneuvers are helped by using rear brake. I have the skill for a regular bike with a clutch, but I bought the DCT due to arthritis in my hands. Makes for a more comfortable ride.
I probably just needed more time with it.
Great point about using the paddle shifter on the DCT for downshifting on hills or curves! I have pretty much just been using front and rear brakes for hills and curves, but I will start trying downshifting with the paddle shifters. The only down side is that the cars in back of you don't see a rear brake light go on...
@@donaldfoy7111 light squeeze of the front brake just enough to activate the break light
I love this bike i hope i buy one day 🙏🏻
It surprised me
This is going to be my first bike i have to wait a year tho but im sp excited i was either gonna go with that or a honda dct
Honda NC750X DCT
ID on those decals on your visor ? They are dope. Thanks in advance !
i've been riding my DCT for 7 months and have put 12k miles on it. love it
Nice. It’s a fun bike
hi! thanks for the video. there is lots of critics from people 6ft and taller about the mid controls cramping their legs on this bike. there is also lots of critics about the seat. you being a "big boy" not complaining about those 2 points is reassuring. do you think one of those forward control kit would have improved your experience on this bike? thanks!!
Yes but it’s doable in the stock setup. It’s a small bike but still had decent comfort but I’m not sure how comfortable it would be for really long rides.
As another viewer, Jediknifefight noted, a clutch lever comes in handy, sometimes absolutely necessary, during slow maneuvers and this bike doesn't come with that lever! That might be the determining factor for me in my decision not to acquire one of these bikes. Everything else on the bike looks great and it's a Honda so it'll obviously last longer than I'll be on this earth.
They do make a manual version as well.
6to7/10 that's mean the motorcycle performance its not good to ride or give it underrating . thanks for this video
The weather just made this motorcycle looks 10x better
Huh? Lol
I got the 2023 1100T DCT. I LOVE IT!!!! The transmission is smooth. I still have my manual Kawasaki. Just wish I could have the fuel capacity. And the bags open kinda weird. And locking the bags is kinda difficult. But great bike otherwise.
Nice. I haven’t seen the one with bags
Have the same issues with the bags on my 1100T. The rubber lining came out and I had to glue it back in on like day 3 of owning the bike. Pain in the ass
Asking a question good power to carry 2 people I live near the mountains of West Virginia or would it struggle? Steve from WV.
It’s should be plenty of power for two people
I bought mine, removed the current exaust and put a straght long pipe, 3 inc, and runs owesome, also the showa shocs recervor is real not fake, come on is japanese good paets that dont go bad.
Hey man if you wanna check this bike out in the manual option I have the rebel 1100 touring version, and I live not too far from where you're filming.
I’m definitely down to review it.
@@theinfinitryda yeah man I’ll hit you up on FB, and we can work something out.
Im fine with shifting but why if you dont have to? This bike was my first time trying the DCT and it was just as fun if not more so than the standard shifting. Just jump on and go
👍🏼
Hey fam, I wanna see/hear your thoughts on the manual version.
I’ll have to find one to ride
@@theinfinitrydaRyda I’m down the street from you. I can bring mine up to speedway for you to try.
Shame you were not versed on DCT before riding - you can balance at .5 mph just using the back brake, slower than anything else but still in perfect control!
Good to know. Sorry but DCT is not something that I’m familiar with. This was a first as many have a 1st. But it was a fun bike. But I still prefer full manual
I could see myself on it but love to shift gears so a DCT is not for me😅. Good review bro👍, stay safe, Cheers!!!!❤
You're response is better than most "purists". I started manual, but DCT is just so much nicer in heavy traffic (Goldwing) and when I ride the highways I love being to just cruise without worrying about shifting.
It's not for everyone, but DCT users do not deserve all the hate they're getting. Let's get more people on bikes out there, manual or DCT.
Thanks. It was acting to ride. I’m someone that likes shifting also.
I'm a beginner rider. Do you think the 1100 is too big of CC's?
Not when it comes to this bike be the modes make it extremely easy and versatile for newer riders.
I'm still a beginner rider as well; have had my motorcycle license for a little over a year. Started on a 400cc scooter then just bought the 1100 DCT 7 weeks ago! By keeping it in "rain" mode, it sort of is the equivalent of a maxi scooter, even though it has an1100 cc engine.
I am also a beginner and bought the 1100 as my first bike after trying it at a dealership. I can recommend trying it first. At the beginning I had doubts because I wanted a manual bike, but I gave the DCT a chance and was very impressed. I own it for a couple of weeks now and do not regret anything! Awesome bike, very fun. As long as you can control yourself you are good to go. It's nice to grow into this bike, but you have to have in mind that it is a powerful machine and things can go wrong if you don't take it slow at start. Greetings from Germany 👍
@@cemseyyar7971 Now I have my 1100T DCT for about 2 months and have put on 1,000 miles in rain mode. Yesterday I transitioned / started using "Standard" mode and like the way the bike is so much more responsive, actually easier to handle in some ways as long as you are gentle on the throttle and maintain self control.
It's easy to drive slow and carefully, and very low seat. Piece of cake
Why is he calling a digital display analog?
I love the Honda rebel 1100 dct ... I don't like the governor and the fact that there is barely an aftermarket for it . I don't like how small the fuel tank is . I don't like the seats or the options for seats , especially the tiny useless passenger seat . And it's taking way too long for anyone to make aftermarket parts for it .
Some bikes just don’t get that large of an aftermarket community. This may be one of those bikes.
I'm a fat fuck and haven't rode since I was a child. I'm trying to find an auto bike because then I could convince the wife to ride with me. Do you think it would be a good buy for someone like me? I really want to ride but have zero interest in killing myself on a crotch rocket.
I think it’s good for anyone as long as you like it
I thought it is 1084cc
It’s actually 1083cc. They site I checked for specs was wrong. My bad.
LOL! I wish I was 235lbs at 6'0"! You ain't a big boy lol. Thank God for Street Glides. And to think I used to ride a Street Rod... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right? I'm 6'0" and 256lbs (I've gotten older and fatter) I ride a Goldwing DCT, but I wouldn't mind test riding one of these. However, I feel like this one would be cramped due to my weight.
lol. As long as we all have a bike that’s all that matters. Ride safe brother
It's 86 hp. A hole.
Thanks A hole. Lol
