    I’ve had mine about 3 weeks Mark. I came from having Harley’s the last few years but the tendons in my left hand have been struggling with the clutch lever. This bike has solved that with the DCT and given me the chance to ride longer distances without painful repercussions. The engine is an absolute peach, smooth, powerful and as you mentioned the fuelling is spot on. Great bike from Honda and one I’d highly recommend.

      Thanks Gary ...not normally a bike I'd consider buying ,I'm more sports touring ,but I'd definitely consider one ....I like it's mean looks :)
      Yes I thought the dct complimented this style of bike and well priced too

      @Chaz Carrington hi Chaz the 1100 engine is good on fuel about 55 + mpg uk gallon
      Cheers mark

    • @garyv1993
      @garyv1993 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Chaz Carrington I’m finding the fuel economy very good Chaz which I expect to improve when the engine is fully broken in. As Mark says about 55mpg, It obviously drops once you get on the throttle over 4000rpm.

      I had that and eventually could not hold anything without my hands going numb, I had both carpel tunnels done 7 years ago it took a year of operations then physio but was worth it and now I can ride and drive again without the numbness.

    I’ve had mine almost a month now and it’s pretty wonderful. I have some gripes, mostly related to the riding position and the suspension, but I’ve also never had a cruiser before. The engine is fantastic, as well as the DCT once you’ve come to an understanding with it. Biggest improvement so far was doing the DCT reset procedure. It made a very noticeable difference in shift quality, smoothness, and timing. Notchy/clunky shifts were instantly gone. Anyone who owns or test rides one needs to try it. Takes about a minute and the video is easily found online.

    Great review!! I really like the way you explained the DCT as I have always seen the system as not as good as a manual transmission but you really can have the best of both worlds with this DCT transmission, I like it. I'm also looking forward for the release of the New Honda NT 1100 due to be unveiled end of this year or the next. I love this engine!

    Just watched this again, Mark. I'm going to sit on one of these in the local dealers. Slightly concerned that the very low seat may make the riding position cramped for me with my 32'' inside leg. But if it does, it would be an easy job to have the seat built up. The Thais do this really well and it's so cheap. The AT engine with the beefed-up crank really attracts me. And I quite like the bike's appearance. The DCT also appeals, then there's the three-litre under-seat storage. Useful for my day stuff. Touring: a sissy bar and the excellent Sissy Bar Duffle Bag slotted over it from R9Kustoms, run by an Australian bloke near Bangkok. I've never had a cruiser.

Sadly, there's no stock to be had, nor are any expected until March/April 2022 - 2 or 3 months away. Looks like I'll be sticking with my NC750 DCT for a while longer!

    I'd think you'd cruise in a cruiser and only use Sport mode on the track or in the twisties. Next time, include a test in Normal or Touring mode, or what ever else they call it, as well as Rain mode. I wish Honda would have done a Stainless Steel set of headers and exhaust as on the Africa Twin. Black looks like hell once ridden in the rain, it's never the same.

    If i was into this type of motorcycle, i belive a Rebel 1100 would be for me. Though i'm not likening the DCT version. I need my clutch lever for my manual gear box. I like the looks, but i'm a "sport/sport-touring/naked bike" kind of guy. The Rebel 1100 is a Good looking, nice sounding bike though. I'd want new tires immediately as the "D" series from Dunlop (for example D214, D222, D428, etc) isn't worth the rubber it's made from. Although with a cruiser it's less of an issue then the more sporty bikes, it's still not a good tire.💖💖👏🏼👏🏼

    What's not to like about this bike? Well, for one thing, it's ugly. For another, the 13.6 litre tank is about 6 litres too small, and it has the weight of a railroad locomotive and only one front disc. I have spent years waiting and hoping for a motorcycle with auto transmission and cruise control, and Honda come up with this. Honda have really missed the boat with this one!

    Was considering Rebel or Iron. I'm 5' 6" and getting a review on any bike from a guy less than 6' 10" is well neigh impossible.
    Having watched your review I have to try the auto option because, not having ridden for 39 years, I like the idea of re-familiarisation trundling around in rain mode and rewarding myself with an upgrade in power each month.
    I'd had innumerable bikes in the 10 years between youth and parenthood from ex telegram Bantams to Bonnies, 650 Norton Dominator and an Areil Square 4, so a plodding 5 or 600cc would be boring after a few months.
    67 with arthritis I facy spending less time farting about with gears and clutches.
    P.S Bike manufacturers should be Legislatively required to drop manual gear shifts across every range (with a manual option) ... it would end stupid, confrontational, dangerous and annoying 'rev-bombing' overnight. Mr Angry would have to grow up or
    be thrown to the back of his seat only to experience involuntary incontinence whilst panic breaking.

    The new Honda Rebel 1100. Great bike (powerful, looks good, good value, Honda, reliability) *_But..._*
    Heres known negatives very few sellers talk about:
    - DCT: on the automatic the bike sometimes goes to the wrong gear which can be unnerving at key times. Most folk will buy the manual trans.
    - Uncomfortable for medium to long distances (the hard seat & short peg position are the problem here)
    - The suspension is very tight and so on bumpy roads you will feel every bump.
    - Chain: maintenance on this Rebel chain will be a pain, especially without a center stand.
    SO -
    If you are small/short the Honda Rebel 1100cc may work in manual transmission.
