2022 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT Full Test and Review (Best Value Cruiser?)

[@zachharvey1597]

I bought an 2023 1100 DCT yesterday 7/20/24 after riding a grom for 2 years and honestly i love this thing. I imagine there's some slack I'll get for riding an automatic but who cares. This thing is fun.

[@Pexman-hu7zw]

This Rebel is good for the beginners DCT like me that doesnt know manual ...Finally!!!

As someone who's looking into learning how to ride, and getting a bike, please respond and tell us how you liked the rebel

[@RevansNightmare]

@@rhinoxrl I loved the rebel but had hip issues and the cramped riding position was not helping. I would recommend the 1100 and keeping it in rain model while learning

[@ecrusch]

I bought a 2021 one in red. It is outstanding...period.

[@motovlogjoni]

I bought the DCT, im very happy with my rebel. No problems till now.. 8000km. Im using mainly for daily commute and touring around the country. Seat upgrade and risers are a must, im 1,73m and i felt quite unconfortable after 30mins of riding. After upgrade i can ride for 4hours before the pain start lol

[@csibee76]

what kind of seat did u upgrade?

Im curious too. Im 1.82m im gonna die in those seats haha

[@travismcadory]

I have had my rebel since February of 2021 in DCT. I see a lot of people say they hate how it looks but I actually get a lot of compliments on it. I think the naked look attracts people. The stock exhaust is what makes it weirdo I upgraded to the Two Brothers Racing exhaust which makes it look much better IMO and totally gives a much more aggressive sound. I also upgraded to forward controls from T-Rex Racing.. this was a game changer for me as I am 6’4 about 190lbs Standard controls def got a bit cramped after a while. After my first year riding I considered selling it but after riding it again after winter it was no way I could. Very fun bike, sport mode def turns it up a notch !

[@MichiganPowersports]

I am 5'10 200lbs and the forward controls from trex were absolutely critical. I would have sold the bike in the first 3 months without them. The 1100 is an incredible bike and I love it, but honestly if you are taller than 5'8 you are going to feel cramped on the bike. I am surprised you can ride it at all at 6'4. Also the stock seat sucks. I would really like to see an even bigger rebel parallel twin 1400-1600 that has more room for taller/fatter dudes, the added performance would be nice too! It would fit that perfect niche where it would be a sport cruiser/comfortable touring bike.

[@jeffmorse645]

I'm 6' 3" and 205 lbs and I'm starting to wonder if I will ever find a beginner cruiser that will work without modification. The Rebel sounds perfect otherwise. I like the idea of a DCT - complete beginner and the last manual trans I used on anything was a Toyota in the 90s.😄 I guess there's always going to be a compromise when you're a bit taller.

[@phaylanx5]

Great video, I think you nailed it. I’m a new rider as of May this year and bought 22 rebel 1100 dct as my first bike. I love it, and really appreciate the ease of use due to the dct. I can focus on learning other skills. Now that I’ve put on over 2000 km, I’m ripping twisties and exploring new backroads. This thing hauls ass, and feels so modern with the tech package.

[@williamcoulter5462]

Very informative review I own the DCT with only the batwing fairing and a DNA air filter extras fitted, standard exhaust but it does shift if you give it some when in sport mode it can drop two gears which shocked me the first time but I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the run. I am only 5' 5" and have arthritis which is the reason I had to wait for a large CC automatic cruiser but it was well worth it. The Rebel is speed governed to 100mph which in UK is more than enough Honda got it right with this one as there is a three month wait over here for a new one, I got lucky as someone waited then cancelled their order just as the bike got to UK as they had missed the summer so I got mine in 8 days, the black and DCT exactly what I wanted thank you Evergreen for your delay I must be one of the only people glad that ship ran aground.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Lucky! I have a feeling these will sell well in the UK and Europe. Thanks for the comment.

[@johnDukemaster]

As always, a wellmade review. I can tell there are some thoughts behind it. This bike is for those who dares chose quality and rideability first. Who dares to think out of the "copy a Harley" box. This is probably how a cruiser would look, if it was the first cruiser ever built, with no strings to Fred Flintstone. A Bruiser!

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Thanks! The Harley clones were way more prevalent 20 years ago. Somehow a lot of Harley’s shine has worn off.

[@gc6854]

The 1100 manual is my bike. I have enjoyed all your reviews and it is nice that you are a Canadian reviewer. My last ride suddenly turned into large loose gravel with no warning. The rear tire slid left and right but with limited rear braking I slowly came to a stop and turned around. I use a version of User mode that keeps me away from Sport mode and its aggressive throttle I dislike. Keep up the excellent reviews.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Thank you. The last km to my cottage is gravel and the Rebel was fine on it. Must be the lightness.

It won’t leak oil or leave you stranded on the side of the road. 😆

Neither will any of the other bikes mentioned in the video. It’s not 1975 anymore. Your more than likely a HD hater so its gonna be tough to educate you but I’ll try- Harley’s haven’t had an issue leaking oil since the birth of the evo motor, that was roughly 40 years ago. And I ride a BMW so no dog in the fight I just hate those tired remarks.

Well done review. Regarding the looks: A Harley Nighster has also one side which doesn`t look like the styling department was done before they rolled the bike into the show room. But the price tag of the HD is calling for way more money as that on the Honda.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Yep, the left side of the Nightster definitely needs some attention. I’m surprised Harley didn’t clean it up better.

[@TakaAmun]

Things I liked about your vid: -All the info was sensible and concise -Your "phantom clutching" sometimes 😉 -I've seen so many Rebel 1100 DCT vids from the US, that your gorgeous scenery flying by made me glance at your speedo... Dang! Then I caught your ON plate (same here), and realized it was kph!

My son was considering this has his first bike. But he’s tall and I’d like to tour with him and that small tank is an issue. Thanks for the review.

[@AyaWetts]

Don't buy a chain bike as a tourer, its very annoying. I love most everything about my Rebel 1100, but having to worry about the chain maintenance every ~600 miles is really annoying especially for long trips.

for what it is that 3.6gal is a reasonable tank. compare to 3 gals for an Indian. not gonna get the 4-5-6 gals on these 'cruisers'. just not.

[@larrymansfield9393]

At 47, this will be my first bike. I plan to use it for my work commute and maybe a Sunday ride

[@mindspinn311]

Had one for 8 months and sold it. Great bike for many reasons, but I didn’t love it. Riding position is uncomfortable even after you adjust to it. DCT was always love/hate for me (I would buy manual next time) and the 100mph wall often ruined the amazing acceleration. Handling was excellent I have to admit, and the toque never got old, but every time I rode it I just felt like yeah it’s fun but it’s just not me. Fuel economy was also below average and the radiator fan blowing engine heat on my leg on a hot day wasn’t awesome. Definitely runs hot and probably needs a larger radiator. Call me crazy but I got more riding enjoyment from the Rebel 500 and Vulcan S 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@markbarber7839]

Thanks for the video. Honda is unique by not just chasing numbers. The everyday ride is very important once the new bike novelty has worn off

[@wave6413]

Daytona crash bars allow forward foot resting. I have had mine for 6 months. $17500 in oz. just after I got mine it went up in price to just over $20000 ( manual). Low rider S $ over $26000. So the Honda is better value and my commute on an amazing road is a cracker. Great review (again) thanks. And the looks grow on you. The thump even in rain mode at 4000 rpm will ensure your left hand grip is tight. I am waiting on a mapping chip to make fueling more rich and snappy throttle in sport less damm snappy. Rain mode for commuting is civilized. My opinion for what it’s worth.

Good review as usual. (0:21) The handle bar shakes a lot, but indeed it's a camera. That was confusing info, though. Surprised that it's for smaller figures. Nice to hear it's more responsive than those from HD, Indian & Triumph.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

That camera was on a selfie stick so that’s where the shaking is coming from. Generally I found the handling good, although under hard acceleration the front end did get a little light.

[@FairladyS130]

Great video, demonstrating the slow speed and static characteristics is very useful.

[@twowheelboomer]

Great commentary. I was wondering where you were going to go, because I rode the DCT at Americade 2021, and I couldn't wait to get off it. I am 6'1 and was never so uncomfortable on a motorcycle, so I was waiting for that and you nailed it. I dismissed it out of hand, but I ride a dual sport (DR650) and a tourer, HD Ultra Limited. I wouldn't trade my DR for the Rebel straight up.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

Definitely a bike for shorter riders but I’ve done four hours on it and survived. With forwards I’d be fine.

[@wave6413]

A DR and CmX is comparing a horse and donkey. Both brilliant but different.

[@phil9100]

A horse & a dog, more like it.

[@dealerslicenseops]

The other reviews are very misleading. 6'2 here with boots on, and this was the main thing every reviewer ignored. The DCT is attractive for riders with arthritis or previous injuries, but the bike looks too cramped. one clown that is 6'4 reviewed it and said he had no issues with him feeling cramped. It was then I realized he was probably a paid reviewer. I wonder if throwing some apes on there and forward controls would remedy this. Thoughts?

[@michaelwatts224]

I might have to try one of those! Great review thanks.

I used to scoff at all rebels, and while that is low HP imo, u have to remember its a cruiser, and the torque makes up for it, its not supposed to be compared to sport bike numbers, and it's a twin. the way u break it all down though, it beats the heall out of anything in class (sorry indian) in performance and handling. even with DCT its a bargain price.

[@ginoferiante7140]

I have one too. I bought it for my wife since I already had a VTX1300. I have found the automatic trans doesn’t bother me at all. That’s the big surprise. But man I disagree with your opinion on the looks of the motor on the Rebel 1100 - I love the looks of everything about the bike. But I’m going to get an after market seat.

[@thelevelrider64]

Having gone down to the dealership and thrown a leg over one, the first thing that popped into my head about the Rebel 1100 was that it doesn't feel like a cruiser at all. I saw one review in which it was summarized as a naked bike DISGUISED as a cruiser, and I think that's pretty much the way it felt to me. I wouldn't want a DCT bike. Low speed handling is compromised, to say the least. Call me an old fart, but I LIKE a clutch. One thing I really hate about the Rebel (AND the new Sportsters!) are the effin' UGLY, oversized exhaust systems that are being put on them. It looks like they bolted on a 1970's metal lunchbox where the muffler ought to be! WTF??? They crowd out the passenger footpegs (as you noted), and make mounting decent-capacity saddlebags a nightmare. C'mon, dammit, the motorcycle companies really don't have to try THIS damn hard to support the aftermarket exhaust companies.

[@DifferentSpokesTV]

I agree about the exhausts, but have a feeling that we have Euro5 to thank for that. You can bet that 80% of owners will scrap that thing right off the bat. The bike sounded good but with a proper aftermarket can it has potential to really stand out.

[@thelevelrider64]

@@DifferentSpokesTV Agreed... but the fact that we have to pay extra to get it right just pisses me off. Have one version for Euro-5 if you're going to sell them over there, and another for here at home. Probably be cheaper to make, at that!

I am so tempted but in Thailand we also have so many other choices. I will wait see if they do a CL1100 too like they did taking the Rebel to make a CL300 and 500 scramblers. People should look at Thailand's new upocoming motorcycle company, GMX. They now are beginning to sell in many other countries, and are better and cheaper than royal enfields, bvut not as good as a Honda for quality and reliability.. however, they start at about 2500$ for a 250 classic bike that looks a bit like a Triumph Thruxton with upside down forks! Thailands GMX bikes are pretty good (and getting better all the time) .They are becoming very popular in Japan now too, as well a dozens of other countries, for their immensely cheap price, and ease of customisation and part relacement, and maintenance, as well as being really fun to ride..

I really wish I could have this instead of a Harley

[@moosemoosepower]

Would you recommend this for a new rider? Especially with the rain mode allowing for limitations?

[@6r0ck19]

Absolutely! Got this as my very first bike and no regrets

Hello, Iam new to riding actually looking to buy my first bike. I have been to a few dealers looking for the rebel 500 however all the salesman tell me that I will outgrow it in half a year and tell me to get a bigger bike (a indian scout was recommended). I was wondering if this would be a good beginner bike. I know I kept reading and looking at people saying to just ride it in rain mode and once I get comforable to move to standard mode. Iam 5'5 and weigh 140pounds. Do you think this is a good beginner bike?
