Just banging a zero mile bike off the rev limiter I have that same bike about 500 miles now never ridden it anywhere near that hard
I bought mine today. Love it.
Great to hear!
Does it pick up quickly?
Wow...i envy you bruh. I always dream of a bike like this but i am living on scratch...😭
@@RandyLaheyJulian Sorry for the delay. I didn't know I had a response. It does pick up really good. But then again I am not riding it like a sports bike. I ride it like a cruiser.
The reality of the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT ***BIG SCOOTER W/FEW GEARS***. For people with Arthritis and disabilities. Right to the point. God bless USA 🇺🇸.
Memories...I used to live in New River and had a doctor in Anthem...same streets you drove. Love that 1100.
We love the area too!
How is this bike suited for taller riders? I'm 6'4" and wondering would it be too small a bike? I haven't test driven one yet in Ireland but I hope to soon. Great vid by the way 👌
I build them and ride them into/around my shop, i'm 5'8" and i can flat foot it really easily with my knees bent. The seat height is very low, so you might be a little too tall for it. Go to your local powersports dealer and sit on one.
Did you say it had zero miles on it? Should you have wacked open throttle? Anyway great bike, probably buy one soon!
Sweet machine!
Ah, made me miss home. Went to Barry Goldwater.
Good ol' Goldwater. Local legend for sure.
Thrashes a zero mile bike against the rev limiter in manual. Rude.
The rev limiter protects against over revving...
@@MotoCityTV Why then is there a break in protocol?
Did the reviewer not go through the controls to find out how they worked?
@@Mo-xx9gg some bikes and cars limit the revving but that’s almost always a car thing not a bike thing, feel sorry for the buyer of that bike if the bike had a normal redline
He shouldn't have mentioned it was a zero-mile bike at the beginning.
Good review, however...... he flogged that thing. Not kuul.
Im a beginner and I’m wanting a cruiser. I’m 5’2 and 150 pounds. Do you think someone of my size would have an issue with this bike?
I'd start with a Rebel 500 in your size.
WOW! Only 99MPH from a 1100cc bike that only weighs around 500 lbs. My CTX700 DCT also around 500 lbs can hit around 85 to 90 and it has 1 tooth down on the front. Would probably hit that 99 with the stock tooth count and it's only a 700cc with only 51HP. Honda if you read this if you're going to put the African Twin engine in the Rebel then put all it's power and toque in as well. Not worth the upgrade in my opinion or not upgrade in my case.
that 4th 5th 6th is weird as hell, i like the bike but it need 20-40 more hp and better gear ratios.
It looks like it rides very rough and you can feel every little bump.
Basic cruiser suspension. Note, none of he suspension settings were toughed nor adjusted for the rider. Out of the crate and onto the road. That could have been part of it.
can you guy explain to me why the 500 and 1100 having the same TOP SPEED ? what the extra mney i'm paying for?
Acceleration!! You can drive both a Ferrari and Honda Civic at 100mph. Either way you're breaking the speed limit. Cops will light you up. But the Ferrari will get there in 4 seconds.
time to flash d dam dam ECU
Yeah, we see many mods for this bike in the near future.
Will Honda dealership remove 100mph limiter
No
Nope. You will need to go aftermarket to get that job done ;)
So the top speed is less than my 883 sportster?? What's the deal
Honda wanted to play it safe ;) Yeah... my 450cc dirt bike goes faster as does my 390 Duke - Kyle
@@MotoCityTV This bike will get to 99 MPH before my Suzuki Burgman 650 but I can go about 115 MPH sitting in a Barcalounger.
100 mph from an 1100..forget it
There are tools to override the limiters.
No power, are you sure that's not the 500 ?
Pretty sure... the big DCT Trans kina gave it away as well as the 1100 badging ;)
It is completly new and people rev it like no tomorrow. Really irresponsible.
The rev limiter keeps the revs from going into a dangerous area. These bikes are built to ride out of the crate. Proper break-in according to the manual is recommended. That being said, every "new bike launch" you have seen by any motorcycle publication / video site / dealership are all being done on brand new machines such as this one. These bikes are ready to ride out of the crate once prepped. No Motorcycles were harmed in the making of this video.
Don’t worry, he’s not going to buy it, so he don’t give a shit!
I wouldn't be buying that particular bike. I like my new bike break-in less aggressive. Nice to read the manual to understand there IS a sport mode.
You're totally contradicting yourself. The rev limiter is set way too high to protect a brand new bike during the break-in period.
Awesome bike. Who cares if it only goes a hundred miles an hour. Where I'm from, the highest speed limit is 70.
It is a great bike. Very fun to ride.
It goes way faster than 100
@@GabeJC2004 being an 1100 it obviously should go faster than 100mph. But since there is a governor on it, it does not.
@@matthewbaney2660 I heard it goes at least 110?
@@matthewbaney2660 In the UK it does!
Zero miles on the odo and you are already hitting the limiter? What about the break-in period?

@@MotoCityTV I still hope whoever buys this is told and gets a discount. I'd be pissed if I just dropped over 10k on that and saw this... The main reason to buy brand new is so you know it hasn't been abused.
@@Duke_Nuke Just look at the odometer dude 🤣 They are there for a reason. Just ask for a zero mile or like a 3mile one. But I totally agree with you. Id be pissed.
@@XstonedmonkeyzX it probably still only has like 5 miles though lol. I bought a brand new ctx700 dct a few years back with about 5 miles, but they also gave me a huge discount (they went from 8k all the way down to 4.5k).
@@MotoCityTV I have seen certain features on other bikes that would limit max RPM to 4000 and slowly raise that limit over the first 1000 miles. I think Triumph does this, but don't quote me on that. However this does not seem to be a feature present in the Rebel 1100, as you hit 8000 RPM after your second turn already (at 4:00). I don't much care one way or another, since I am not gonna be buying that bike anyway (I live at least 10000 miles away), but it made me cringe nevertheless.
Now that you rode the bike it's not new, you know the rule, the moment you drive it out of the dealership the bike becomes used and drops in value. I'll take this used 2021 honda rebel off your hands for good discount tho no problem
Yes, that is the case. Demo bikes sell for thousands less than the current going rate and come with all the perks, like the manufacturer warranty. It is a great deal actually.
@@MotoCityTV That's good because the manual says no full throttle runs or hard braking for the first 300 miles, at least that is what it says on my new Honda bike, this is NOT the way to break a brand new engine in.
It has Sport/ Standard/Rain and user mode.
I've had mine for a couple of months and love it.
It's a neat machine for sure. Glad you are loving yours.
@Ricky luciano no. It only starts on Mondays and and Thursdays..
seeing how you can only go 99 ish on this thing makes it even better. there is no reason to be going that fast I know some places the speed limit is 85MPH but honestly I'm stoked this thing can only go so fast. makes it somewhat easier to stay away from tickets.
I'd suggest learning the electronic mode options before you get on the road, rather than try to guess it as you go along and end up hitting the rev limiter, not knowing even whether you are in automatic or manual. Really?!
How do I take seriously the opinions and comments of someone who takes a brand-new bike with 0 miles on the clock and immediately takes it to the red line? Have some respect for the engine, please.
Honda DCT's are AMAZING!!!!
It is true!
This’ll be a shitty 2nd hand purchase. Zero miles and bouncing it off the limiter. 👏
Im so jelous huhu how i wish its gonna be released in the philipines... ride safe always sir. I really wanna own one as my first bike its just amazing. Love the video and watching from cebu City Ph ride safe mate.
Hey buddy! It is a very nice bike. I hope you do get it for your first bike. That would be nice! Ride safe and have a great day! Warm wishes from California, USA.
Thanks for watching Night Rider. This would be a perfect 1st bike due to its controls. Previously you would buy a smaller CC bike to begin with and when it gets boring you trade up to a bigger bike. With this bike... you run it with more controls in the beginning and then as your skill level increases you back off the electronic helpers. Pretty spectacular actually! One bike for the entire spectrum of riders. Thanks for watching!
AS UR FIRST BIKE?!?! WTF!?
In the EU ur nit even allowed to. Ur license is first restricted to 48HP and Power/Weight ratio of 0,2. After 2 years u can upgrade from the A2 license to a so called A license without any restrictions.
Dont the people see that its dangerous to drive a big strong bike as a newbie? In my Driving school I started with a 125ccm bike. I learned to use the clutch, let the bike stop and go and so on. A big strong bike will make this much harder for u to learn.
Dont trust these guys, especially americans (which pretty much can buy there motorcycle and gun license at the gas station) who think that all is about the driver and not the bike u drive, because thats wrong! always start with something small and reduce the risk of accidents.
@@notinteresting2166 you can beginn with this Bike yes , start with no clutch only Gears use Rain Mode, with this Bike you can learn slow
Man! You’re taking a 0 mile bike and just redlining the shit out it. Then you take you dusty ass gloves and tap and swipe all over the display?!
Someone’s going to buy that? Jesus man. You should have wheelie’s it then thrown it down a hill.
Poor bike...abused
Well... better than sitting in a garage somewhere never being ridden collecting dust!
This is why I’ll never buy a demo bike. My lord, 0 miles and this fool is gunning it. So much for the break in period. I bet the dealer was ticked when he saw this video.
Breaking in softly is a myth. You know it was floored on a dyno before you even got it
No bikes were harmed in the making of this video...
I’m picking mine up tomorrow. I’ll treat her much better
@@Tonar18 We are sure she will love the soft touch you will give her ;)
Picked it up last week. What a great bike. Been trying to teach yum wife to ride on a HD street 750. She was doing ok. She tried the Rebel and it was like night and day. It’s a perfect beginner bike, great bike to upgrade to from any other beginner bike, or it’s a blast to ride for an experienced rider. I’ve got my Indian Challenger for my touring/long day rides, but I hop on this for work and short trips. Good Job Honda!
The bike would probably go a little faster if you took the time to break it in properly ! Trash it straight out of the crate . Then sell it to some unsuspecting individual !
Easy Turbo... He bought it after watching the video. He was stoked... and he got a full warranty. He's happy.
Honest review from a dealer with the pros and cons gets a 👍.
It's not always sunshine and rainbows... We tell what we like and what we wish was different. Transparency is the name of the game.
Its funny your one of the few people who say that throwing a new rider on this would be fine. And I completely agree with you. I hear constantly people say rain mode sucks and it so powerless, but them say a new rider cant ride it. The weight for the dct is no more then some smaller displacement cruisers that are considered new rider friendly. And if your a new rider with the self control to keep it in rain mode its a good option. You can buy it and no even have to worry about getting bored of it. You could have it for 10 years and not want to replace it. I did my msf course saved up and bought one. Plan on taking it easy in rain mode and learn the bike. And i gave no doubt ill do fine.
I'm likely going from a cmx450 to the 1100. Hopefully I can test out a manual transmission soon
It really is a FUN bike to ride. You will love it!
Who cares about top speed on a cruiser? I'd take it right away because of the transmission!
The transmission is the ticket! I have ridden it in the Africa Twin, the Talon and now in the Rebel and it is Brilliant. Having owned 4 other Honda Cruisers... I like to ride them quickly and I like it when they go fast. 100 mph is not a deal breaker though.
@@MotoCityTV i have a 21 year old Honda CB1100 X11 with nearly 60.000km now, still works like brand new, but now i feel more comfortable on a cruiser. Maybe next year.
Awesome!
It has a governor fitted, won’t go over a ton, they kept that quiet!!
Yup. Totally limited and it is immediately felt when you get there. Rolls up to that point strong and them just smooths out...
How would someone go about removing that restriction? Asking for a mate 😏
@@diverdanclark trying to figure out for my friend too
Wink. Wink. We talked to Power Commander and they suggested that their Auto Tune system (non California model) will allow this bike to RIP to rev limiter in every gear. Now that would be FUN! What do you guess the top end would be then? I'd guss 130 to 140 ;)
@@diverdanclark Get the EU version, not restricted :)
Turns out, the reason it's limited to 98mph is because of software :/
This was painful to watch
Did the sales guy not tell you it was limited to 99mph in the U.S.? Still a great bike, i love the DCT transmission!
Starting to really like this bike ..roads bad at rush hour where I live up in Canada..would love to have no clutch man would be good
The worst review of a motorcycle I have even seen
Ha! Well thanks for watching anyway.
That dark display looks awful. Very poor legibility.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching!
Actually that is incorrect , Sport mode does NOT cause it to shift faster , It actually does the opposite , It will "Hold" the gear longer .......
Blazing from 3rd gear to 98 mph on a bike with zero miles. I hope that the poor guy that buys that bike one day is told about how you are treating it.
He bought it after watching the video. He was stoked... and he got a full warranty. He's happy.
As others have noticed, you took a brand new bike with only a few miles on it up to 99mph and bounced it off the rev limiter many times in first gear. No respect for the machine.
It is a shame that this motorcycle wasn't reviewed by someone who had actually rode a motorcycle equipped with a DCT transmission instead of ...
He had actually owned a DCT Africa Twin and has had a lot of seat time in a Honda Talon. All three system / controls are very different. He thought they would be the same as the AT, but they were not. Therefor the $hit Show we see here... We should have made him read the manual first. ;)
@@MotoCityTV I'd keep that clown off of any of your motorcycles until he's bought the motorcycle. No test rides ever again for him... He's a clueless thrasher. I hope most motorcyclists in Arizona are more intelligent than him. He appears dumb as a rock and has zero attention span, and is a dangerous rider. A Darwin Award winner in the future.
i dont know what to say....this rebel 1100cc goes 0-60mph in 5 seconds...my 500cc rebel in 5.7 seconds.......this goes maximum 100 mph....the rebel 500 ..96 mph.....this cost 10.000$ ...rebel 500 ...6000$...same size....same reliability ...a few mods and the dct on the 1100cc.
Should you upgrade for a 1100cc having a 500cc 2020 already? NO.
is not worth, for the type of riding. is not made for speedy trips...is a cruiser...so with the 500cc is already enough.
we are talking about having fun while driving to nowhere...in my opinion, if you have the 500cc ...stay with it. then if you want something different like a kawasaki z900 to offer you a totally different way of riding...then upgrade. i have the 500cc rebel 2020 1 year and a half now...and is awesome. but i wouldnt pay 10k to have the same feeling i already have on my 500cc
It's not the same feeling lol
I own this bike. He is not getting the best 0-60 by rolling onto the throttle. You can pin the throttle from a stop and the traction control will give you a perfect launch. I haven't timed it but it's probably more like 4 seconds to 60
Speedy enough to have a great time, that is for sure! And, the DCT is really something special that new riders will love!
"Oh, look zero miles on odometer" ... proceeds hitting rev limiter and going 100MPH. Genius!
This has to be the worst bike review I've ever seen. He had no idea how anything worked on it, didn't realise that it is restricted to 100 mph and repeatedly red lined a bike with zero miles on it. I pity whoever bought it after that. Pathetic.
Nice gentle break in.
Nice and easy.
😂
On manual mode. Does the shift gears automatically shifts down when you applied brakes up to full stops like in a DCT car
Yes, the bike will always shift down when applicable.
@@MotoCityTV thanks
I'm disabled i think i could actually ride this. Wonder if you can get it with longer handle bars
So since we've all verified the top speed sucks. I'm sure that will be addressed with the aftermarket. Now I'm curious side by side with the 500 just how much of a difference is this thing getting up to that disappointing 98mph? I hope this bike would shine in that Dept? 500 vs 1100 in a drag race anyone? I'd be happy to spectate on that one!
YES! Kyle has been talking about taking the 500 out this week...
It probably has an electronic limit, a proper ecu flash should do it, now add a power commander, some nice pipes and intake and you’re set.
But even in stock I would take this bike instead of a *hardly* and their 19th century’s bikes
@@Minecraftlol18 agreed! I'd still take this one also.
@@Minecraftlol18 My 2012 H-D Softail Heritage makes me happy. If this thing were unregulated I'd think about it. Maybe...
You miss the point of owning a Cruiser vs a racer. This isn't a track bike, it's more relaxed.
I wonder if it's electronically limited at the top end until the "break in " procedure is done ? I know some car manufacturers have this like the
Dodge.
Definitely seemed like it was cutting the power.
Love the video thanks !
Honda has confirmed that they limited the motor at 98 mph and it will not increase or get faster unless the computer is "hacked" and modified.
@@MotoCityTV probably to honor the warranty especially with the DCT, thanks for the update!
Yes, for sure. No unlocking unless you can unplug it and make it stock before each service. We have seen the DCT Africa Twin and GL1800 ride MUCH faster than this bike so it is not a DCT issue ;) We shall see.
Just got the 2024 dct Honda rebel and must say it’s been awesome 🎉

@@MotoCityTV lol, send me 1 please I'm downunder
Did't know brand engine to revlimite, was good for breakin. ???
The rev limiter is there to keep the engine in the acceptable operating range. No matter the stage of the bikes lifecycle the rev limiter keeps the bike from over revving.
tbh 99 mph rly is low for 1100 cc bike i guess it has to do with the transmision being autimatic
A cruiser is not about going 100 mph, it's about going 100 miles. Your review should be about cruiser attributes.
Yes, agreed. We were able to take it out for a quick spin and top speed is our most asked question, so we included it in this ride video.
This is absolutely the worst Rebel 1100 review I've ever seen. The rider knows nothing, is incompetent, didn't read the owners manual, pulls out into cross traffic while staring at the gauges, redlines a 0 mile brand new engine in manual mode, against Owners Manual instructions. He has no business being on this new bike, he's demonstrated being dumb as a rock.
DCT is a transmission. Not a motor. WTF?
Yes, Kyle is well aware. Parallel twin motor with a DCT transmission.
Someone’s gotta be coming up with a ECU flash for this bike soon. Seems heavily restricted.
Totally! There are several folks working on the flash... We haven't heard any preliminary numbers as of yet.
@@MotoCityTV have you heard any yet?
Speed limiter is set to 100mph. Doesn't matter what gear you choose.
Yes, sadly...
Hitting 98 with no miles great way to break it in smh
The rev limiter keeps it safe ;)
I know AZ when I see it. Anthem area? Y’all have any in stock? Like pulling teeth trying to find one of these
Yes we do have stock and YES... Anthem up to New River Road down to the Carefree Highway and back to the shop! Nice eyes sharp shooter!
Unfortunatly you do not know what you are talking about: The modes are rain , standard , sport and user. You were probably in user mode. There is no such thing as sport 1 , 2 or 3... Reviewers should read a little about the bike before doing the actual review.... This comment from an actual owner of the rebel 1100 DCT.
Thanks for your message Dan. I have owned DCT Africa Twin and the DCT layout was WAY different. The AT did have the modes I spoke of "Sport 1, 2 and 3" and this one clearly does not. Honda did not provide any documentation on the function... So I was winging it... checking it out as a new rider would. I did explain in the video that the bike was in User Mode... and thus the reason it was not acting as I "thought" it was going to. Another day on the bike and I'd be able to much more intelligently and smoothly explain how it works. NOW... All of this aside... HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR BIKE? What can you tell our watchers about your experience thus far? I personally think it's a fantastic machine as outlined at the end of the video. Cheers - Kyle
Correct, the Honda ND 750x has three sport modes as well.
@@MotoCityTV I just love the bike. I am a small guy at 5'6'' so it fits my frame perfectly. I bought the bike for touring and wekkend rides so I plan to add accessories very shortly. I absolutly do not care about top end power, mid range torque is where the fun is for me. The Africa twin is tuned quite differently and makes 20-25 more horses than the rebel and this goes a long way to explain the difference in top speed. I certainly agree with you that this is a very good machine. Thanks.
My NC700 DCT has 3 levels of Sport. Seems that it would be standard across the board when every DCT I've ever seen had it.
That is what Kyle was expecting too... This presentation was obviously foreign to him ;)
Ima need one with zero miles.
Got ya!
It might have been a good idea to make yourself familiar with the bike before the ride. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and have had no problems whatsoever.
You are absolutely correct. This was out of the crate... no manual nor instruction. We figured it out though... and have a full detailed breakdown of the electronics. Happy to hear you are loving yours! We have gone on a dozen rides now and it is a fantastic machine!
@@MotoCityTV Ok, no problem. This is my first DCT ever. Last bikes: 3 HD’s one Scout and now the Honda. Before a number of all the japanese bikes. Appreciate the weight and the fact it’s a ”hybrid” ie something between a naked bike and a cruiser.
It is unique!
I can’t believe the bike has no miles on it and you’re running the piss out of it I don’t understand that!!!That being said when I had mine ordered mine I told the salesman I don’t want no miles on it, I don’t want some idiot running the piss out of my bike before it’s broke in !! Don’t give me that line that they’re made to run like that right out of the box that’s not true, I don’t think I would buy a bike off of you guys !! If I was the owner of the business and seen this video you would be out of a job !
You are entitled to new bike with zero miles. This is a Demo Bike that will be ridden by many. I am sure that anyone on a test ride will crack the throttle and open it up. Have you ever been to an IMS Show or to any Demo Ride Day? All of those bikes are brand new bikes too... and they get ridden hard off the line, up to freeway speeds with some riders revving the heck out of the throttle just hear what the bike sounds like. You are correct in the fact that if you buy a NEW bike it should be a NEW bike. On the other hand... a Demo bike at a good price with a full warranty - I have purchased several that way and have put LOTS of Trouble Free miles on them. Enjoy your new bike, that is exciting!!! To each their own... - Kyle
So it's limited to 98mph or so. Well that kinda stinks. It's sort of like a child's bike, not letting you go as fast as you want.
yeah... a bit of a bummer
How not to break in a bike 101
Pretty much.
The exhaust is ugly as hell - wtf Honda.
Also the mirrors gotta go.
Other than that its a cool ride!
Ha! Ha! They are always leaving room / a reason / to make it your own!
Must be a limited top speed , 500 rebel does 110mph , still a cool bike 👍
True that!
When I was 17 I had a Honda 150 dream. It was in terrible shape. Used oil profusely. I've scince owned several new bikes. Never had ad much fun as I did on the 150 dream.
Epic!
Dude, it’s not a DCT motor! It’s a DCT transmission.
Yup... Its a Parallel Twin with a DCT Transmission.
Why are you running the crap out of that brand new engine. I definitely would not by that bike after you totally abused it!
That motor is WAY protected by Honda. Good as new ;) but will be sold as Demo for cheap with a full warranty. Good deal for someone.
It wont let you go above 100mph!
This could be my Street Glide but I don't see a Batwing or hard bags. What is Honda marketing thinking?
They do have accessory kits and a fairing is one of them and is on the page just below the description: powersports.honda.com/street/cruiser/rebel-1100
Does it really only get up to 99 or is it above 100 but there is no hundreds digit on the display?
Watching bikes in km per hour I have seen the display show 3 numbers but our bike is limited at 99mph so we never saw it pop up on our speedometer.
The good (engine/DCT), the bad (chain drive), and the ugly (all blackout looks).
Had to maximize the power output so they left it chain drive. A shaft would have robbed too much power. The motor and DCT are amazing though!
Hey there, feelin any vibrations during the ride? What about the steering at 100 mph? What can you tell about the seat? Long distance journey will be comfortable? Cheers!
Zero vibrations Dawid... super smooth. Steering feels light for a cruiser but very planted at the same time. The seat is typical Honda... it's good but could have a bit more support for longer rides. I'd ride 3 or 4 hours before beginning to "feel it" ... Thanks for watching!
@@MotoCityTV thank you, ride safe!
Same to you David!
I think this could be a good mid-weight cruiser with a Fairing and hard bags. The price is right but floor boards, hardbags and fairing are missing. I still love it but I'm gonna wait and see what Honda does.
look up t-rex racing honda rebel 500 parts. they offer so many great accessories for it. im hoping they do the same for the 1100
Thanks for the heads up!
Great machine for sure.
I used to own a VTX1300R with floorboards and there simply is no substitute for them! So comfortable...
Honda put a governor on it, limit is 99mph ... and what’s with parking 2 ft off the highway, not too smart
Bummer on the governor.
Kyle, the rider, is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. I'd completely disassociate with this clown.
Nice! How’s the front brake goin 98MPH?.
The entire bike "felt great!" Everything was solid and worked really well.
Will i look like a giant on this bike? I am 6 foot 250lbs. Debating getting this bike as my first
Jerry is over 6' tall and he fit well on it... Watch this video to see his ride: th-cam.com/video/22EcjnibiqQ/w-d-xo.html
Very slow bike
Yeah, if you consider 99 mph slow...
Great review!
Thanks for watching!
Dct on my Honda crosstourer is superb
How tall are you
5' 9" is his height. He wears a 32" long pant.
Wow zero miles let’s take her to redline.
Brand new bike and your taking it to redline...
Max speed is 140mph. You have to break in the bike first. As it had zero mileage, it is limited to 100mph per manufacturer lock.
Ok...
Not in the USA
No worries! The person that buys this "New" bike, will hopefully not see the pace it was put through with Zero Miles.
Poor video... bad information
Is it ok to pin this thing with zero miles on it? Not trying to start shit but that guy that had his Corvette taken out for a joyride and street raced by the dealership tech was pretty pissed... so pissed he posted it on Reddit and wound up getting a new car from the dealership. If I bought this bike and found out the dealer beat it this hard with zero miles on the odometer for a TH-cam vid?! I'd be pretty pissed off too. Not saying don't do it, but, probably don't do it on a bike with zero miles. Just saying.
Yes, totally hear you. Now... the customer was actually sent this video prior to his purchase. He watched the video and then bought the bike thereafter... And was actually stoked that "his bike was famous" Now that being said... Since this video the shop makes more professional videos and Kyle puts the top speed videos on his personal channel. Two different kinds of content ;)
@@MotoCityTV that's really solid you were upfront about it with the customer! If he was good with it then, it's covered. My opinion of you has been fully restored!! 😄
Well, thanks for watching!
0 to 60 was fast
It is a super fun bike!
“0 Miles on this bike!”

Best guess folks... if in rain mode... good beginner?
Totally! Rain Mode will be very mild and will be perfect for learning.
Can anyone comment on whether or not a larger guy can ride the Rebel 1100 comfortably? 6'1" 250lbs. Thanks!
Yes, it is a comfortable bike but I do think that you should look into some forward controls so you can stretch out a but.
@@MotoCityTV I appreciate your quick response! Do they make forward controls for this model? What is involved in changing to forward vs mid? Thanks!
We have not seen any forward controls for this bike as of yet... but we do hope to see them soon! probably new shift linkage and a longer brake line would be the two toughest pieces.
You can't figure out the automatic mode? Useless demo.
This was the first time we had jumped on this bike with no manual. Here is the detailed breakdown: th-cam.com/video/eAQDyW5rcHc/w-d-xo.html
