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 🇺🇸.
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.
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..
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.
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!
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.
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
Just got the 2024 dct Honda rebel and must say it’s been awesome 🎉
Honda DCT's are AMAZING!!!!
It is true!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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 :)
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
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?!
Nice gentle break in.
Nice and easy.
😂
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 bought mine 3 days ago february 25,2022 but a small one only rebel 250 cc,i switched from YZF R3 to Honda rebel 250 for a long drive,and its an amazing bike,so cool to drive,1100 cc maybe later coz you have to wait for 6-12 months after ordering the product becoz of pandemic
Thanks for sharing
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.
This is a well done, very informative video. Good job, and thanks for taking the time to make this for all of us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the worst review, ever. The guy clearly knows nothing about the bike, never read the owners manual, redlines the engine in manual mode with less than 5 miles on the motor. Wipes the instrument gauge with dirty gloves, scratching the plastic lense on it with swirl marks. He's a tool.
Speed limiter is set to 100mph. Doesn't matter what gear you choose.
Yes, sadly...
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.
The Rebel 1100 is like 500, the gear box is protruding far out and your right leg especially will touch it. Hopefully you don't get burned after long time of riding when it got hot.
That DCT is pretty wide, that is for sure. If you ride in pants... you won't get burned.
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.
Dct on my Honda crosstourer is superb
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...
Actually that is incorrect , Sport mode does NOT cause it to shift faster , It actually does the opposite , It will "Hold" the gear longer .......
Did you say it had zero miles on it? Should you have wacked open throttle? Anyway great bike, probably buy one soon!
Sweet machine!
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.
Ah, made me miss home. Went to Barry Goldwater.
Good ol' Goldwater. Local legend for sure.
3:06 looking at the cockpit, about to roll out in front of a moving vehicle. Nice save.
Yes, thanks for watching our shenanigans.
Currently my favorite motorcycle
Great video i'm picking mine up tomorrow
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.
I'm sure there's a market out there for people who like Bergman scooters but want it to look like an actual motorcycle.
Ha! Ha! Yeah, right!
I had the 2006 Burgman and purchased the 2008 Executive. Just sold both last Summer. Purchased the Rebel 500. Missed the automatic and now have the 1100. I’m happy again. 5’11”, 190 pounds. 73 years young.
It has a top speed governor. Once a power commander comes out, no more governor.
Dear Power Commander...
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.
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.
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
I'm disabled i think i could actually ride this. Wonder if you can get it with longer handle bars
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!
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.
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
Great review!
Thanks for watching!
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?
When I first saw the Rebel I thought it was so-so. Now I think it's a rolling eyesore.
Well that's a bummer. The looks have actually grown on us.
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!
The bike can go 140mph, it must have a break in period that doesn't allow you to go over 100mph for a certain amount of miles.
That’s what I was thinking too. This guys like oh this only goes 100 miles, I was like bro u haven’t even got past the break in period so u are losing a lot of speed
I have seen videos of people after the breakin period getting up to 129mph - 120mph
This is a USA only restriction.
Ima need one with zero miles.
Got ya!
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
I'm thinking of getting the 1100 rebel 2022 model
You will love it!
"Oh, look zero miles on odometer" ... proceeds hitting rev limiter and going 100MPH. Genius!
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!
Nice moto city shirt Kyle
Thanks! Swing by the shop and I'll give you one ;)
If I’m in that area I will stop by I am in California
Anthem Arizona is where the shop is located. But if ever in So Cal on a weekend, let me know as I am often out that way too ;) - Kyle
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!
Saving up for this bike as my first bike. Do you think it's possible for me to get on it and ride it since I don't have to learn how to shift?
How not to break in a bike 101
Pretty much.
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!
What a great video, thanks!
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: ua-cam.com/video/22EcjnibiqQ/v-deo.html
Dude, it’s not a DCT motor! It’s a DCT transmission.
Yup... Its a Parallel Twin with a DCT Transmission.
Nice! How’s the front brake goin 98MPH?.
The entire bike "felt great!" Everything was solid and worked really well.
its all about computer now, is it safe from weather when its raining?
I hit the sub and bell buttons for you buddy dude , just two questions , does the bike do sustained lose of traction ,and wheelies ? . Not that it matters...
Thanks for your support. Yes, the bike is able to do burnouts and wheelies with a little practice.
Must be a limited top speed , 500 rebel does 110mph , still a cool bike 👍
True that!
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.
I predict this bike will not sell in the UK with restricted speed.
With your fast freeway speeds over there... I am sure it will not have the electronic restrictions we see here in the USA.
this will be my next bike!
We've got two on the floor. Both with ZERO miles. Come on Down!
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.
I have a couple questions for you, one how does the handle bars feel? I went and looked at one and i loved it but the handle bars made me think that was going to very uncomfortable during long trips. second how twitchy is the throttle in sport mode? I've watched a couple videos of people saying the throttle was a little iffy, I wanted to ask you cause it looks like you gave an honest review without all the bullcap of complaining about the cruiser style. Thanks in advance!
Ha! Ha! Yeah... I personally love all bikes and for this type of video I just throw a leg over and tell you exactly what I am feeling... good, bad or indifferent. Truthfully, I love it actually. 13:19 I talk about the bars a little. I thought it was very comfortable for the long haul. The bar position actually made me sit more upright (read better posture) than I have had on my previous cruisers. I could ride it all day long. Now... the foot position I was not thrilled with as I felt splayed out and for the long haul I would need to move around a bit. Pretty neat machine!
Turns out, the reason it's limited to 98mph is because of software :/
Can you reflash a chip to undo the rev limiter? Its pretty sad that a good running 250 can almost match its top speed.
Yes, we totally agree. And yes... there are ways around it that a non-Honda dealer can address.
It is not done on the rev limiter it is done on the speedo input , if you notice he still had 500 rpm to spare but it would not go any quicker. It will do the same top speed with the extras fitted like the batwing fairing. I believe the single front disc is the limiting factor the new NT1100 has twin four pot discs up front and not limited to 100mph just like the Africa Twin.
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.
That’s a little crazy how this dude was just riding the bike on the freeway with one hand on the bar at 70+ miles per hour
Ha! Ha! Ha!
This’ll be a shitty 2nd hand purchase. Zero miles and bouncing it off the limiter. 👏
Best guess folks... if in rain mode... good beginner?
Totally! Rain Mode will be very mild and will be perfect for learning.
I’m going to buy this bike next year. How many MPG is this and how many gallons does it hold. Thanks!
Not sure yet but our Africa Twin riders are getting close to 50 mpg out of a similar motor / transmission configuration. Time will tell...
Mine is getting around 40mpg in town. 3.6 gal tank.
Thanks for the reply Steve. Good to hear.
I'm digging that bike alot I'm thinking no I am going to buy myself a motorcycle & I think this bike might be the one but one question how much does the bike weigh ,oh yeah I wish the bike could go abit faster at least 110-120mph.
Its about 550 lbs.
What Mount are you using for your GoPro??
Honda has a 100 mph governor on the ECU
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.
How did it survive a Phoenix summer?
Just fine...
@@MotoCityTV Thanks
Why not add dct to rebel 500/
For sure!
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 dark display looks awful. Very poor legibility.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching!
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.
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.
tbh 99 mph rly is low for 1100 cc bike i guess it has to do with the transmision being autimatic
Appreciate ur video, tq
Thank you for watching!
Nice video....very informative....

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.
I was literally going to purchase the bike till I seen the top speed, what's the 0 to 60 time ?
Zero to 60 is quick but it tapers off towards 100 mph.
