Honda Rebel 1100T Review: Power, Performance, and Style

[@papertiger795]

I'm not a cruiser guy, but this thing has had my attention for a long while now. I'm in the US, and cannot think of a more value oriented way to ride across the North American continent. It has all the power, comfort, and features that a coast to coast (and back) trip would need. Here in the US, I could buy this bike AND a crf300L dual sport, brand new, for the price of an Africa Twin.

[@exeterrider]

I was thinking at the time it's ideal for big American roads, it's really happy there.

Fantastic, enjoy it 👍👍

I think the rebel range is great for shorter riders. That's something that for me I found the 500 rebel too short and small, and that would suit many 👍

I took delivery of my manual Rebel yesterday, bolted on a Miller exhaust, swapped the seat for a Mustang and took her for her first 300km ride through the Ardennes today. What a bike. Loved my 500 but she was a little tight for me at 182cm. Have been riding for 32 years, I don't think I'll ever need to buy another full size bike again.

[@exeterrider]

Yes I found the 500 too small at the fame height as you. Congrats with your new bike 👍

[@Kevin97587]

What made u chose the manual over the dct? im considering this bike and test drove a DCT but i cant decide wether its worth the extra cost. And i might end up missing being able to manually shift..

[@sourmugster]

I'm the same height as you, 182 cm, and I've also been considering a Mustang seat for my Rebel 1100 after a year with the stock seat. What's your experience with it? Does the Mustang seat push you forward, or is that not really noticeable?

[@marcvanartevelde5586]

@@sourmugster It does push you forward some, yes. Depends on how tight you already are on the stock seat, assume you'll be forced forwards a couple inches, to me it's just below the cramped-uncomfortable point. I guess it all depends on the length of your legs.

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

I shouldn't have watched this, it's made me want one again. I've ridden both the naked and the Bagger Version (video on KZbin) and deffo agree that the DCT is the one to go for. Also, it IS a quick bike, no doubt about it, so it's a bit of a Street Sleeper and more than capable of touring. I personally would have the soft luggage rather than the hard bags, but I would have the screen. It does have Wheelie control 😉

[@exeterrider]

Yes wheelie control, kicks in when the horse has just bolted🐴😂 I think I feel the same, soft luggage is the easy to go here, but I too like the screen.

As an ex HD owner I can’t get excited about these. No V Twin, no chrome or colour ( we need to be able to check our coolness in shop window reflections while not filtering). Part of the appeal for me is the tart value. I’m happy to ride a circus act if I’m on a cruiser. I bet it leans more than 30 degrees before sparking up footboards too! It just misses the all important drama that on the HD sits alongside the “ cruisability “. I was partial to the old Shadow but this is too sanitised and …er…well…er…nice. Mind you it’s a lot cheaper than a Harley!!!! Cracking review mind.

[@m2menuiserie540]

A good, honest appraisal of a fine bike. I had a similar CMX1100 DCT for about a year. Minus fairing and panniers. Howeversomuch I tried, I could not get used to the DCT, even though it performed faultlessly. At low speeds in particular, I control a torquey, biggish bike through the clutch bite. And there ain't one! A few other things: the small (13 litre) fuel tank is a severe limitation on range, especially in countries where fuel depots are infrequent. At 233kg it's somewhat portly, though with a low C of G it's tolerable. And finally, there is a scary wobble at 170 kmh (105 mph) that threatens to turn into a tank-slapper. I believe this to be endemic to the model. I didn't have the couilles to accelerate through it. As a relaxed, easy to ride, short range, reliable device it's very hard to beat. Maybe you could convert a pannier into an extra fuel reservoir?

[@exeterrider]

The DCT is a little jumpy on this bike I must admit. So much power to harness I guess. Good to hear from you Thanks 👍

[@Synthwave89]

The wobble has been widely attributed to the stock tires. Aftermarket tires seem to fix the issue completely.

Thanks very much 👍

[@enriquehenry8025]

I test ride this bike, and llet me tell you, that after all the goodies that Honda has added into it, it is still a Rebel. I live in the US, and to get in the interstate, for about an hour, I need a bike that will go at a minimum of 75 miles/hr. The engine works very hard at 60 miles. The seat is just something to use in 10 minute rides. You will need a much better seat for longer rides. But the worse thing, is the suspension system. It felt like riding a bycicle, you can feel even the small rocks on the pavement. So, it is an improvement by honda, but I will wait until they realize that if they call it a touring, it has to have the suspension of a touring bike. By the way, i had several hondas and harleys. I believe hondas are for the real touring riders, but this bike is still a rebel.

[@exeterrider]

Thanks for letting us know what you think. : )

[@Ch-ui6mw]

The Rebel is am intriguing option, but alas, two features makes this one a no-go for me. 1) That muffler looks like it came off of something really big from Caterpillar. 2) Digital dash is a deal-killer.

Nice review Steve. This be my up grade from my 500, I guess. Be the manual and non touring model.Was kinda hoping Honda would bring out a model between the 500 and 1100. Not sure how I get on, moving it about, as it must be 40kg or so heavier than, the 500. People I have spoken to like the DCT, for me, I think I would find it strange, but, as you say, you get used to it. Best wishes Steve.😊

You got lucky there at 4:04 Exmouth, you ran into the Exmouth Angels and they were out, clearly looking for trouble. You could quite easily have ended up with a motorcycle chain wrapped around your neck ! Good job you were heading the other way and probably just about had the power to outrun them ! I'd very much like one of these Rebel 1100s, would almost certainly be a bike for life if I ever managed to save up enough to go out and buy one. I'm sure I'd love it ! Still, I have Buddy and I could probably buy three Buddys for the price of one of these, so I think I'd rather do that. Seems like the more economical option. Cheers Steve. Love to the Exmouth posse ! Charles and Maureen in France 🐕

Great review.. They are a great and underestimated bike.. As a owner of the non tour, I would question the seat.. I find it uncomfortable after a short while.. So I have upgraded mine..

Definitely yes..

The front cowl really makes this look like batman's cruiser for the people. I've been looking a lot at various modern classics recently, particularly the Bonneville range and the BSA Gold Star. The British modern retros are doing their best to look like the old bikes. It's only the radiator that gives them away. Although I do really like that, and they'll probably have a higher resale value later on... there's a different type of cool to the Rebel. I'd be struggling to choose between this and the Speedmaster.

[@exeterrider]

Good point that is a tough decision....I can't call that one either tbh

[@wolfpackpete6408]

​@exeterrider the Rebel is definitely a fully modern light-middleweight cruiser, and not trying to be a retro. But it's in the mix of cruisers roughly around the capacity of the Speedmaster and some smaller Harleys. The Honda is a full 40kg less weight than the Speedmaster, which might sway some buyers comparing the two. I'd like to see a video of them head to head.

[@exeterrider]

@@wolfpackpete6408 I must admit when I had the Speedmaster ,I did find it quite a lump,but lovely to ride on the review around Isle of Wright

[@wolfpackpete6408]

@exeterrider I've no idea what to make of it. Triumph really want to town on the Rocket 3, and reduced the weight of the 2.5ltr to about 45kg less than the outgoing 2.3ltr model... if the Speedmaster received that level of attention, they could surely reduce the weight by at least 20kg, maybe about 30kg. I realise that the low seat height and centre of gravity all help manage that weight. Many riders of this cruiser style are used to even heavier bikes and say the weight helps make them feel more planted. Really want to see a Rebel vs Speedmaster video now. I have searched before but not deeply.

[@exeterrider]

@wolfpackpete6408 it was just a speed master video on its own, 👍
