Just passed my MSF course 2 weeks ago and found your videos while researching Rebel's. I live in the SP/Arnold area and saw your Rebel 1100 the other day at The Point! Small world man, keep making good content ✌
I just bought a Honda Rebel 1100 DCT and I just started watching your all your videos. You are genuinely funny and enjoyable to watch. You have a new subscriber. Thanks bro.
You rode the way I would. Toddling along with the nuts. Watching them risk their necks. I personally don't have the skill or courage to ride the way they do... As Clint Eastwood said... "A man's gotta know his limitations" Mine are comically abundant and I have learned them the hard way. Being hit in the face at speed by a bug the size of a Cicada is startlingly painful. It feels like a rock. I had never thought of owning a Rebel but your videos are intriguing. At my age, given the limitations imposed by arthritic hands, the DCT version with no manual clutch and the cruise control has real appeal.
So envious of you blokes in the states, here in Australia kangaroos and other wildlife are so common that I can’t relax as well and have as much fun as yous seem to
Picking up my rebel this Saturday. SUPER excited after test riding it last month. Your videos are the only thing keeping me sane while waiting hahaha...
Hey Burch, I passed my riders safe course and got one point deducted due to not putting it in first when stopping between the cones. But I’ve got the deposit on the rebel 500 and I’ll be getting in a week or two 😁😁
Just came across your channel, I really love your content it is enjoyable to watch from beginning to end. I'd have to say you're the best and maybe only Honda rebel content out there. Keep it up! 🤙
Burch, QuasiMotard, and On The Rebel 1100 make some great 1100 content. Each has their own “style of delivery” but these guys are pretty much the standard and all do fantastic work.
You should get the Olympia Dallas mesh jacket. Comes with CE level 2 armor and it's only like 160 bucks. I'm wearing it in the summer here and it's awesome.
My mom: Don't do anything crazy when you get a Rebel! Biker on TH-cam: watch me try several times to catch a cicada! lols Seriously though, great video!
A new subscriber here,I'm loving the bike rides them bugy things were awful lol,oh but yal were having so much fun,,i use to have the old model rebel now it looked like a little Harley and i loved it but in the country my highest speed was 50 lol and i did dress right, full helmet jacket boots ,i keep watching your channel and now I'm wanting another one, i don't like to ride on back with anyone being someone flipped me once and i said forget that and got my own but over time i let someone ride it and well that was that lol,,keep posting I'll keep watching and wishing, i sure do want one i miss seeing the older model look
Thank you for wearing your gear. Safety has its price, but the payout is life saving. Part 2 of being safe is passing that mindset to those you encounter. #RideReligiously (We are our brothers keeper, and may you keep safe)
I am definitely interested in this bike, I have a GSXR but work and a long commute i cant keep putting that extra strain on my back. Anyway of making this sit more upright and have you looked into overriding the governor?
Hey man really enjoy watch your content you seem very genuine with everything keep it up can't wait to see more on your Rebel 1100, I'll be hopefully picking mine up this Saturday would be sweet to run across you but I'm all the way in Michigan :( Ride her safe!
Which jacket do you use? I have a mesh Joe Rocket jacket, but I don’t think it goes well with the cruiser styling. It looks more like a sport bike jacket in my opinion so I’ve been trying to find another.
@@LifeOfBurch Maybe the Merlin Shenstone Air Jacket might be more to your liking. Highly pleased with it so far. Still kind of sporty, but in a classic way that wouldn’t look out of place on a cruiser, especially in the olive colour. Also comes with back protector included.
@@LifeOfBurch I live in Arkansas but I'm from Florida. The heat up here doesn't even begin to compare what I lived with in Florida. I also lived in Baltimore for a time, and even what you all considered hot there doesn't even begin to compare to Florida XD Seriously, get the Olympia Dallas jacket. :-) you'll thank me later
I love it! The Rebel keeps up without any issues. If they start going over 100 then obviously I’m SOL, but other than that she keeps up just fine! And is probably way more comfortable in the process 😂
@@LifeOfBurch Right on. I've been torn if it's worth going to a rebel1100 from an XSR700(MT07 motor) since I want something cruiserish but sporty handling to do fine in twisties. But I also need a little more power.
I’ve never ridden an XSR700, but from what I’ve seen, the Rebel would be a great next step for you! It’s a cruiser with all the fancy new technology and creature comforts, more power than what you’re on, and still has a punchy twin motor like you’re used to!
Believe it or not the new Chief handles a dream. I found it to turn in more nimble and smooth than even the smaller Rebels. Haven’t ridden a scout yet but I’d test ride both of you can!
A guy doing wheelies on public roads with a Busa wearing nothing but Tshirt... A certified Squid if I have ever seen one. Don't want to be one to scrape his skin off the road one day. 😅
So cicadas are actually really interesting- they come out in huuuge numbers, but only every 17 years, and they only stay around for about a month before dying off. So they’ve already started dying off and then we won’t see them like this again until 17 years from now. Crazy stuff! Definitely worth reading up on if you have the time.
I have been riding motorcycles since age 8 (started on a small dirt bike) I am now 62, and have seen some bikes I didn't like the looks of. Mostly crotch rockets. But the new Honda "Rebels" take the cake for UGLY. I have never seen anything that come close to matching the Rebel as far as ugly goes. That scooter thing they called the NM-4 or "Vultus" was bad, really bad. But not as ugly as the Rebel by a long way. The Rebel is by far the ugliest motorcycle ever made, period. Going all the way back to the beginning. I have to wonder how a company that has made so many beautiful bikes could have made something so hideous. I've seen rat bikes that were made ton be as ugly as possible that looked much better than the Rebel. It could easily win any rat bike contest for ugliest bike. Right off the showroom floor.
why is there "unmarked security" at an "abandoned" mental hospital. something else is definitely going on there lol
Or maybe the property owners just don’t want people trying to “go on adventures in abandoned buildings “

I got my permit Tuesday and take my MSF on last weekend super excited and congrats

Ahh that means so much to me! Thank you!! Seriously! 🙏🏻
Good beginner bike thanks to auto transmission or nah?
@@LifeOfBurch your videos have been great. I sold my sportster and am picking up my 1100 tomorrow.
@@alexneville8168 hell yea dude!! Congrats on the soon to be new bike! 🙌🏻🤘🏻

Dude they were out for blood! 😳😂

Just found this channel been watching it non stop really pushed me in the direction of the the 1100!
Thanks for your vids. My 1100 will be here Tuesday. It's been 8 long years out of the saddle. I need wind therapy!
Ahh congrats! You’re gonna love it! Perfect reintroduction to two wheels!
That car that honked to warn you about the dead stop was a real one !!!!!
Seriously!! Gotta love people that look out for riders! 🤘🏻
I'm a trucker down in PA, the 17yr mega hatch has been NUTS.
That LifeOfBurch sticker was absolutely popping in that picture!
Pretty sure your aunt Beth worked at that Crownsville hospital for a short while while she was in nursing school!
We had an old abandoned hospital named sunnyland which we also got kicked out of. Supposed to be an old mental hospital as well. What a coincidence.

Awesome review big love from Australia I just subscribed 😊😊😊
I've had my 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT for about 2 months now and I love it
What’s the difference between the DCT and the regular base model?
Your videos make me want to upgrade from a Rebel 500 to an 1100 so bad. And I just got my bike two months ago!
Dude it’s sooo worth it honestly! But only if you’re not losing money when you sell the 500!
You should get the Olympia Dallas mesh jacket. Comes with CE level 2 armor and it's only like 160 bucks. I'm wearing it in the summer here and it's awesome.
My mom: Don't do anything crazy when you get a Rebel!
Biker on TH-cam: watch me try several times to catch a cicada! lols
Seriously though, great video!
I'm glad to see you well equiped xD Take care mate !
I cant believe I haven't found your channel until now!!!! Crazy how many cicadas ya'll got! I'm from western NY and I thought we had it bad lol
Better late than never! Haha welcome to the party! And yea, the cicadas were baaddd here, but fortunately have already started subsiding!
I would love to stop and see your rebel in person if possible.
We can hear those hits to the lid!
They were no joke man! 😳
@@LifeOfBurch you can eat them if your not allergic to sea food.
Your should definitely make a video on a tune or plug and play module that fixes the governor
I did! 😎🤘🏻 th-cam.com/video/wEHz4DtDawk/w-d-xo.html
Honda Rebel 1100 vs Harley Davison Iron 1200. Which one and why? Go!
i wish it were 85 where i am. Phoenix is hitting 120 and its like riding inside an air fryer!
Rowdy fun at 50mph!!

Loving the trips with the rebel !
Glad you’re digging them! Plenty more to come! 🤘🏻
How do you like the new seat after breaking it in or did you switch back to the original one?
It’s bearable, but still not as comfy as I had hoped. I plan on possibly having it redone with some gel/foam at a local upholstery shop most likely.

You had me at "... going to be doing oil changes along the way" lmaooooo
Hahah Paul’s always fixing something for somebody! Gotta love it!
That was nice of him
@@LifeOfBurch Shoutout to Paul then! 🤘
Just curious you in Sport mode ?? or standard ?
that super-moto sound of the rebel is sweet
Agreed! I looove the sound of this motor!
Awesome group ride
Bad Cicada's
Agreed! The cicadas were out for blood! Lmao
Just a suggest, air jacket for summer, love mine. Enjoyed the ride
Which jacket do you use? I have a mesh Joe Rocket jacket, but I don’t think it goes well with the cruiser styling. It looks more like a sport bike jacket in my opinion so I’ve been trying to find another.
@@LifeOfBurch Same, Joe Rocket. Ride a Honda ctx700. The Rebels are a mix in my opinion, haven't had any strange looks or remarks so far

Also comes with back protector included.
@@LifeOfBurch Once the bugs are gone, you can unzip the Joe Rocket just a bit and it's plenty styling.
Never seen another youtuber from my county that's wild lol
I'm convinced Haya means Rolling and Busa mean Burnout. Every Busa Boy i've ridden with has to do them lol
It’s a rite of passage 😂😂😂
"I'm safe. Mind your bidness!" LOL!
What’s the white bike in the intro?
That’s really crazy how you can hear the cicadas hitting your helmet!
I'm only like 45 min away. Those bugs are killing me!!!
85 degrees? Today in Denmark it's like 92 :o
By the end of the video we were right at the same 😭 but the humidity here is kiiiller!
@@LifeOfBurch Oh, that's horrible. It's usually pretty dry here. And we don't have giant bugs that try to kill our faces either :)
@@LifeOfBurch I live in Arkansas but I'm from Florida. The heat up here doesn't even begin to compare what I lived with in Florida. I also lived in Baltimore for a time, and even what you all considered hot there doesn't even begin to compare to Florida XD

@skater4life1997 Oh, I forgot to mention that my temperature is in Celsius 😂
@skater4life1997 but thats a dry heat. *whiny voice* xD
Nice bike
So how do you like the rebel 1100 riding with sportbikes? Does it keep up alright or do you find yourself behind a lot?
I love it! The Rebel keeps up without any issues. If they start going over 100 then obviously I’m SOL, but other than that she keeps up just fine! And is probably way more comfortable in the process 😂

Dude, you're in MD?!
I heard you mention Maryland I live in Hollywood Maryland St Mary's County
Awesome ride so fun
What exhaust do you have on it?
Two Brothers! I have a couple videos about it on the channel 🤘🏻
Lets go MD!!
The wheelie guy wasnt wearing gear :/

Cicadas….also known as June bugs for those who don’t know what cicadas are
Cicadas are actually TOTALLY different from June Bugs! They come out in droves every 17 years, and this year was one of them. They’re gnarly!
Hey man love the videos keep up the good work I wouldn't do to that coffee shop because of their flag
Traffic jam caused by cicadas.
feast bugs! de-wings bread & fry
My God. Enough about the cicadas. Geez.
Kinda looks like the asylum from the film Session 9. 🤔
ur pretty cool bro
No, you are!
Have you always had those insects out there? Never heard of em
So cicadas are actually really interesting- they come out in huuuge numbers, but only every 17 years, and they only stay around for about a month before dying off. So they’ve already started dying off and then we won’t see them like this again until 17 years from now. Crazy stuff! Definitely worth reading up on if you have the time.
@LifeOfBurch It actually is even stranger than that, some have 17 year cycles and some are 13 year cycles. Cool, but super strange insects.
hi .. man I hear there is a meat coming
@2:58 we all know why it cut right here. the girly screams
That's funny
I facking hate bugs.
