I’ve heard that... Extremely unfortunate as I love Alberta. Best province in Canada IMO. Yet this is the main reason I could not live there. The few mths I go without the bike now makes me crazy lol. Appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching!!
The first thing I changed was that suitcase looking muffler! I don’t know what Honda’s design team was smoking when they came up with that terrible muffler. I got the Mustang seat (love it) and the Memphis Shades “Batwing” and now I’m totally happy with my ‘22 1100 DCT version.
Glad ya liked it! It's SOOO much better with the Burly brand apes on now, it's not even funny. We'll get together again for another test ride after we get some more stuff done to her :)
HEY, Slight. pretty good review of the 1100. i own the 2019 rebel 500. i (as a rule)don't ride interstate. but i rode from Tampa, fl. back to Ocala, fl on interstate, 77 mph for two hours, the little bike handled it well. i was in the rain, 12 or better head winds. I was looking at the Indian scout, at about 14 K brand new, this 1100 at 10 K brand new, and it's a Honda is steering me to it instead of Indian. i guess i will have to go test ride each. Anyway, thank you for this, i like the looks of the rebel, and the Indian is V twin. geez, decisions, oh well. thanks again.
Fantastic! So happy that you posted this, this will help many people! The bike handles a passenger extremely well! I know how you feel when you activated the cruise control! Awesome slight! So much fun watching! 👌
Appreciate the continued support, Jerimiah. I have a few 1100 videos in the works... one being the comparison to the 500. Although I love my 500... the 1100 is a much better bike in many areas... not all though.
I live in Alabama in the US and our coldest month we MAY get a couple days that stay below freezing. But on average, I'd say 50°F is about normal winter temps here lol. So yeah, it's nice lol
Although I understand insurance is different depending on rider, location, etc... but do you know approximately the difference in insurance for a 500 vs 1100?
This is including tax. Those are the numbers from Honda. Not much in “wiggle room” Cash deal you can sometimes get a better deal… but that’s dealer specific

Cruise control can be set to a lower speed, it just wont set lower than 3rd gear. If I recall correctly... Also Nevada is the state I live in and usually can ride year round. And with heated grips and gear why stop?
Well, up here in Ontario Canada, when there's 2 feet of snow and black ice everywhere, it's simply not worth the risk. Hell as soon as that white stuff starts falling people forget how to drive....that's assuming some of them even knew how to drive in the first place, and some don't.
crouse control engages at 25mph, now the dct is great but, but when you want to coat by pressing the clutch that i like, no can do is like driving elexteic regen car. So other than that is great.
I dont get it why this limitations in other places. I have it for year and, the two times i have put in sport it has been a bit not good. For now i lobe standard or User mode with keeping low gear longer.
@@SLIGHT_ Ya they're the ones that let me test ride the DCT before I bought the manual. I liked it, but still prefer manual transmissions. I do remember them saying they prefer not to do test rides after 3pm, due to the traffic that happens on highway 7 round there, but I can't see why they wouldn't let you!
@@SLIGHT_ nah I get it, just giving you shit. Yea started looking at Harley out of curiosity again, makes this bike seem like a steal. Some folks don't wanna get caught dead riding a metric bike tho
Both the 1100 and 500 can do highways speeds.,the 300 is sketchy yet some have even done this… It’s governed at 170km/h on the gauge (so about 160km/h or 100miles/hr. So lots of passing speed if needed.
@@robertvillafane3753 the added weight and power makes it is much better option for the highway. If you don’t mind, do you happen to have a front fairing on your 500?
Nice to see someone riding a MANUAL 1100. The DCT is gawd awful. It's a weird setting for the cruise control though. On the BMW the cruise control can be activate just above 30mph (I guess so you can stay constant through restricted speed zones [we get alot of 30s and 20s in the UK]). Very nice to see the 2023 WITHOUT that awful "touring" faring.
It’s been brought to my attention you can set it much lower but needs to be in 3rd gear or higher. Joni has the 1100T manual… I should be doing a test on that soon.
I have been riding it since 1/20/2023. Love it!
You silly goof. There aren't 20 months in a year
@@AdhamHossam165 relying back at the United States, 1/20/2023 = January 20, 2023.

Try riding in Alberta. Lucky to get five months of rideable weather.

Nice! Sounds like a great set up. Do you miss the clutch? How do you like the DCT?
Still have to go for a test ride on one of those.
bought mine in November. I love it

Absolutely Rob. Looking forward to it.
Great video! Been thinking about going from the 500 to the 1100, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.
If you can, test ride it. The 1100 is a beast. Although I still live my 500, that 1100 has me wanting to upgrade.

Oh I wish.
Although I understand insurance is different depending on rider, location, etc... but do you know approximately the difference in insurance for a 500 vs 1100?
It does depend on situation… yet in my case it was only marginally more. 10-15 per mth last I checked.
But I’m a “good rider” lol jk
Cruise control is 30 or higher.
6:36 .. huh? the math don't add up
Also, realistically, how much should I have in the bank if I want to buy the 1100 out right? No monthly payment..
This is including tax.
Those are the numbers from Honda. Not much in “wiggle room”
Cash deal you can sometimes get a better deal… but that’s dealer specific
@@SLIGHT_ Thanks for the quick response.
Where did you get the mustang seat from?! Been looking everywhere.

The price difference has to do with tarrifs & shipping more so than Honda
Shouldn’t be that different from Canada to USA… as they both have these fees. If it was build in the USA that would make sense.

Thanks for the clarification. Such an awesome thing to have.

Nice. Most stated it comes on at 30mph, with it in third gear or more.
You’ve done it at low as 25? That’s great news. Thanks for the update.
