[@christopher7310]

Absolutely love the Rebel 1100. The riding position, the 6th gear, the cruise control and it's so much lighter than my Raider. I think it would be fun sporty cruiser to play on.

[@MalfunctioningAndroid]

I saw a Raider about a month ago, and went for A license. Raider is my dream bike, but I consider getting 1100 as my first.

[@zer08927]

Thanks for the input. I have a 2014 Yamaha Bolt that I made club style, but that lack of a sixth gear is making me consider other options. I was looking into either the stryker or the raider, but I only weigh 125 lb at 5'5", so I'm trying to stick to the midsize cruiser.

[@spyder000069]

I know the 1100 is a good motor but I was secretly hoping they would bring back a V4 like the 750 magna had in a new cruiser frame. That motor had great sound and performance.

[@jdorney70]

Agreed. I have the OG 1982 V45. Impressive power for a 40 year old bike. I really want Honda to reinvent the Magna, but this Rebel looks like fun. ✌

[@sammy60164]

Owning both Harley and Hondas, i do love my Hondas a little more then my Harley, THAT being said, i have to say nothing really beats that sound from a Harley, nothing really matches that. I've heard a few Yamahas that sounded pretty close and REALLY good, but that sound of a Harley is hard to beat. I do love the new Rebel line. I'm not dissing the sound, it does sound good, and this bike is on my list of bikes to buy if i ever won the lotto. To kinda reiterate my point, a new Mustang sounds clean and good, and it's obviously faster then an old one, but nothing beats the sound from a fox body that's been cammed, and modded, although no where NEAR the HP of a newer one, but the old fox body 5.0s just sounded mean.

Harleys sound is very much "American muscle" and I would also add that to me an old shovelhead with an upsized cam and carb is the best sounding Harley engine period. Its the sound that many of us older people grew up hearing and thats why we love it.

[@justingillette8287]

Had a Buell XB12 for a few years now, paid $3500 about 8 years ago or so. Put 30kmi on it, loved it, got sick of the riding position, want a more sportster riding position, loved the engine on the buell, I bought me a 883 with low mi for $4k, figured I would save my money up and convert it to a 1200 and have fun with the wide variety of customization options out there. I knew the suspension on sportsters was not that good but the more i ride this bike the more bothered by it I am, my buell had really good suspension, plenty adjustable, the price for good suspension on a sportster is up there, for me to do basic upgrades plus 1200kit and suspension on my initial $4k investment we are getting up about $9k area, the more I look at the Rebel 1100 the more I kind of want one! basic exhaust and tuner mod, oh yeah, this bike is looking better and better! and for the price I may have been better off just buying a new Rebel 1100!!!

[@tylerwalsh7587]

Add a pair of Burley shocks in the near and it changes the whole feel. If I remember correctly, mine were just over 200 bucks

[@justingillette8287]

@@tylerwalsh7587 thanks for the recommendation. Since this post, i have afforded the 1200 conversion kit. now the bike can half get out of its own way, at least by Harley standards. I have been chopping the bike up and enjoying every minute of it. I am stripping all the parts I do not need, speedometer, mirrors, turn signals, belt shrouding, exhaust heat shielding, I ground the paint off and intend to let it rust over a bit before I attempt to clear coat it, I have also managed a jockey shift/suicide clutch set up that has been a lot of fun, so far I have not crashed but I have had many stalls in crowded intersections!!! I am getting better at it. i also fabricated up two rigid strut bars and replaced my factory rear shocks with them, I lowered the rear almost 4 inches by doing this, I really like the stance now but if it dragged around every corner before I really does now. Compared to the OEM rear shocks, rigid mounting the bike is almost an improvement honestly. I put 1in spacers under the fork springs to add some preload that has really helped but it needs thicker oil to be sure. I also welded on some fittings to the side of the fuel tank and installed a clear hose between them for a fuel level sight glass function. I need to get a chain conversion kit so I can gear the bike up higher, with the OEM ratios its fine up to about 60mph but the bike just screams above that. Be nice to get it to do 70-80mph and not be wrapped out! At this point with all of my maverick mechanic antics and the wide variety of aftermarket support that exists for the Sportster it is hard to want a Honda Rebel 1100. I really like what that bike is but the ability for me to mold my sportster into so many different configurations so easily is really fun! Expensive but fun!

@@nathanluu9347 Not especially. Yeah it's better but it's 15k, that enormous front tire is concerning and Harley has negative brand appeal to me. It's associated with fat boomers with no riding gear because that is literally the only people I see on them. That 15k is a huge deal too. I'm looking at bikes in the 5 to 8 k range not 15. If I had 15k I wouldn't be spending it on a Harley.

[@tinman3586]

@@nathanluu9347 The Sportster S seems cool for it's belt-drive, full color display, and 120+ HP and no dumb speed governor. But it does have some funky looking pipes, don't like the stock forward controls, and 5k more than a Rebel 1100. So it's 50% more expensive but no way is it 50% better. The Rebel 1100 would be perfect if they somehow gave it a belt drive and got rid of the governor.

[@MissyMalaprop]

I can't stand any type of low mirror that is out of the way like that. I want to be able to see in my mirrors and who is around me easily at all times, not having to look way down at a mirror. I also wish Vance or TBR would make an exhaust that was mounted straight down low so it wouldn't block saddle bags... they both sloped theirs up like that... like the Rebel is some sort of sport bike instead of a cruiser.

[@SirTalkAlotJr]

Do you know if it blocks passenger foot pegs as well?

[@mjw930]

I did the CRG’s and a Two Brothers exhaust with the DB insert and it’s near perfect for me. A little quieter at cruise than the V&H but plenty of sound under load. Looks almost identical on the bike. Didn’t need any Dremel for the mirror, just used a spacer to position the factory end out enough to clamp the mirror onto it. Did need to buy a longer bolt but much better than grinding.

[@BipityBopity93]

I know it’s probably dumb but the sound of a bike is a HUGE selling point for me. This exhaust definitely sounds better than the stock pipes but definitely not as good as a Harley or Indian.

[@zer08927]

Not dumb at all! I chose the Yamaha Bolt over the Kawasaki Vulcan s for that very reason. I like that V-Twin sound over the parallel twin sound. But since the Rebel is a 270 crank, I'm considering buying this bike with the right pipes.

[@nadjasunflower1387]

wonder why ? completely different motors and motor sizes. the only Indian that comes close to this engines displacement is the Scout 60...60cu = 983cc. You'd have made a better statement by saying. " I like oranges...because their not apples. "

[@exothermal.sprocket]

The single flaw I see on the 1100 Rebel is the very small fuel capacity. And they put a cruise control on that. Seems like a contradiction of features.

[@ronnycalloway6937]

VTX vs. the Rebel? It's gonna be great for the ladies.

[@GardenBoy4U]

I’ve never owned a Harley myself. I’ve owned almost all Hondas. And I can say that while that aftermarket exhaust makes the bike sound good for a Honda, it definitely doesn’t sound better than a Harley. Not by the sound, the tone and especially the volume. A nice Harley V-twin with an aftermarket exhaust sounds better than any motorcycle to my ears. Honda motorcycles Are a great value, you get more for your dollar. They give you more amenities in the base model making them safer and more comfortable than a base model Harley. You have to pay for upgrades and add-ons for a Harley to have the same extras. That being said, safety and comfort are important, probably more important, but they don’t equal exciting.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

I'll admit it looks better than the stock muffler, but it seems like everything they get has to get a loud muffler. It sort of reminds me of when I was 16 and thought the Thrush muffler I put on my 6 cylinder Rambler sounded cool too. lol It's a young guy thing. I get it. I used to love my noise too. As far as making that bike sound better than a Harley, that's about as likely as making my old Rambler sound as good as a Hemi Roadrunner. ;)

Silly question, but does it matter that the V&H points up in the air? As in, if I park it while it's raining will it fill up and do damage? Or is there a drain hole etc so it doesn't create any problems?

[@lena19191]

Not a silly question , I expect you would get water in the system if left for months . Worst case scenario you may get a cup of water over night in heavy rain . As soon as you start up in the morning the water would blow out on seconds . Most motorcycles are kept in a garage and dry . I feel the worry about water getting in is soon out weighs the cool sound the bikes makes and is stored in your garage anyway . Also you can use a plastic bag to protect the end if your really concerned. Ride safe
