I know it’s not considered “cool” to ride an automatic bike and people think it makes you a “fake” if you don’t drive a manual but I had foot surgery and lost a good bit of dexterity in my left foot so the idea I could ride a motorcycle that shifts for me is ideal idc if it makes me look like a poser
This ^^^ It also appeals to new riders in the same way, i grew up riding traditional bikes so it isnt an issue for me, but for my fiancé who has never been on a bike before we met? It makes a world of difference and opens up a lot of possibilities and options!
People said the same about muscle cars...manual vs automatic...I hear the same thing about big rigs...manual vs automatic. I prefer automatic but I'm lazy like that, I like to eat my dessert first. Buy what you like.
Its a cruiser. Cruisers and tourings having DCT is normal, you're not ripping these machines on the road. The whole point is to cruise long distances without worrying about clutch or any other thing. People who doesn't understand this also doesn't understand motorcycle culture.
It sounds like your a young rider who cares what you ride manual or automatic it's about having fun and enjoying yourself not proving to other that your cool a motorcycle doesn't make you cool its just a hobby I know riders who have died trying to be cool and get acceptance from others
Hard out, I've got useless hand/foot coordination so something like this is perfect for me to get comfortable riding before I learn gears and things like that
The Rebel 1100 DCT does not have an “automatic” transmission in the traditional sense of the word. It has a Duel Clutch Transmission. Two clutches - one for 1st, 3rd and 5th gears and the other clutch for 2nd, 4th and 6th. The DCT is a performance transmission like those found in Lamborghini, Porsche or Ferrari sports cars. Unlike the rider in this video who roles off the throttle to change gears, proper gear changes with the DCT is done without any throttle changes. Just push whatever button you want when in Manual mode. When in D” (drive mode), you have the option of letting the transmission shift as programmed or using the manual buttons to override the computer’s gear selection. The duel clutch transmission changes gears almost instantly and therefore is faster than a traditional manual one.
No one asked. Also it does definitely have an “automatic” transmission. Just like a car with a “manual” mode. If you don’t have to physically pull a clutch and physically change gears, that’s called automatic…. because it happens automatically lmfao.
@@sonnybikes Sorry to have ruffled your feathers. You obviously failed to comprehend my statement that the DCT was not an automatic in a TRADITIONAL sense. Calling the DCT an automatic is to give a wrong impression of its capabilities and most likely the very reason Honda doesn’t call that model the Rebel 1100 Automatic.
@@rickseibel5904 word. I was really surprised at the reply u got from just you correcting a common misconception about the bike. I think some ppl just get really defensive at anything that feels like criticism.
This motorcycle is perfect for me. I was born with a disability and have no usage in my left hand so a motorcycle I don’t have to use a clutch with is perfect.
He keeps calling it electric and complaining that it keeps changing gears back by itself without realizing that he could put it in full manual mode and it wouldn't do that. Apparently he didn't read up on this or get any instruction from anybody there whatsoever before complaining. Maybe also ease up with the expletives so you don't sound like such a child? Just a suggestion.
This will be my 1st bike ...picking it up next week 😃. Many people told me to start with this one instead of the 500 CC because I will get use to it fast .. and it would just be a waste of $ to buy a 500cc
It’s a lot of power for a first bike (not saying you wouldn’t be fine in it) but you might be better off starting on one of the lower cc versions of the same bike! Exact same feel just a little easier to handle. But best of luck with whichever bike you do decide!!
Bro just hit the manual button on the right side next to N/D slap it in sport and rip through those gears MANUALLY. Total control of the gear you want to be in. This bike is designed to run it manually and crazy fast and responsive in sport mode.
I got my full License on a Manuel. I couldn’t give a shit about changing the gears to be honest. As long as the bikes got some good grunt. I’d prefer just to sit back and not think about the gears at all.
The bike looks cool but I have to tell you all of your talking has made this video the worst ever. All you do is complain you sound worse than my ex-girlfriend. Just get on the bike and enjoy the ride.
It is a shame he was part of the group or he would have been able to find out just how good the whole DCT system is, maybe he should have been shown how to change mode sooner and put it into manual for a real test or in DCT sport mode 0-60 in less than 4 secs is one reason for the traction control but topping out at 100 brings it back to reality as it is a cruiser the only reason I could find for this is the single disk up front unlike the faster Africa twin and new NT1100 both having twin disks up front for stopping power. The bike has been built to a price $10k in USA and £10k in UK and to make up the difference we get the pillion seat and pegs in UK the lighting is also different at the rear to comply with USA and UK laws.
Lmao he was complaining at beginning, probably just due to it being a new experience and out of his usual element then as time went on he realized it was better than a manual 😅 People who had no choice other than a manual will always have resentment towards newer technologies that allow anyone to hop on a motorcycle or even cars for that matter They feel like the experience needs to be earned….sorry people but the money out of pocket that people work for is what earns them the right to hop on a motorcycle plain and simple Everyone should learn a manual i believe but everyone should not have to ride one if they don’t want to

"I hate, I don't like, et al" Bike's not even broken in, you are not competent on it YET, and you flow with complaints. Give yourself and the machine a break. Try getting used to the motorcycle before offering any opinions. "Jerky" is often the result of inappropriate mode or operator error.

Amen brother. My left ankle is bone on bone with hardware in place.
People want to hold onto manual transmissions like celebrities trying to stay young.
Agreed, proud Vespa owner 😂

nothing wrong with that. long live the MAN-ual 💪🏾

Ps it has a sport mode 😅

dude may I ask what is your height?. I'm 6'0 and I'm just trying to picture myself on that bike and how do I look.. thanks.
Lucky! I was there but all the Honda demo rides were booked already when I go there. I really wanted to ride the Rebel1100.

I’d enjoy it if it wasn’t a guided ride 😉
FUCK WHATS COOL DO WHATEVER SUITES YOU!!!! Those dudes who judge about not having a manual have a ego issue.
I kinda want one just to spite cucks with that pathetic boomer energy.
Any body please advise which one to bay Honda rebel or HD 883 ?
How tall are you? I’m 6’1” and wondering about ergonomic

Top speed is 128 MPH
Sounds like I’m watching someone’s twitch live stream of someone making fun of noobs.
Lmao he was complaining at beginning, probably just due to it being a new experience and out of his usual element
then as time went on he realized it was better than a manual 😅
People who had no choice other than a manual will always have resentment towards newer technologies that allow anyone to hop on a motorcycle or even cars for that matter
They feel like the experience needs to be earned….sorry people but the money out of pocket that people work for is what earns them the right to hop on a motorcycle plain and simple
Everyone should learn a manual i believe but everyone should not have to ride one if they don’t want to
I wanna get a bike I think this might be my first just something to ride and get use to

You could always shift it with hand controls,.
It's the future of motorcycles. I don't like using gear pedal and clutch.
DOES A CLUTCH AND GEARCHANGER MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT A BIG DICK??! 🤣🤣🤣
I bet you drive an automatic car, im gonna get a dct so I can cruise on to work on nice days. Some day I'll get a cbr1000rr but for now I think I'll chill.
