I just watched this again 6 months later. The Rebel and the whole riding community owe you a debt of gratitude, brother. You have me and so many others with your wisdom and examples.
I'm sure I speak for many when I say Thank You!
Hi Eric!! Always a pleasure to hear from you brother!! THANK YOU so much for your words of encouragement Eric, i sincerely appreciate your support!! Thank you!
This is probably the BEST review I have ever seen of a motorbike - Thankyou!
Thank you Ted, I appreciate your kind words sir! 🙏
I wish everyone did this good of a job on reviews. Awesome details. You covered more topics in 40 minutes than others would in 2-3 hours. No rambling or stammering. Good video editing. Thank you, thank you!!! There’s a few other bikes higher on my wish list but this is a great take. I’m also 5’7” so your comments are really hitting home.
Hi D L! great to hear from you brother! Thank you very much for your encouragement, it motivates me to be better, thank you!
I'm currently on my way back home from a 5 day trip, during the trip i repeatedly thought to myself how happy i am with the ease of handling the bike due to the slow seat height and ease of operation, here's a fresh example: i took a ferry and i remember feeling a bit anxious about maneuvering onboard on a slippery surface, then the felt relief when i realized that i can flat foot the bike - i can't tell you how many times i've dropped bikes from the late 80s till now. Each time i go on a multi day trip i fall in love with the bike all over again, i wish you have the ability to test ride one out before you make a decision. If you have any questions that i didn't cover in the video please reach out and i'll be happy to answer your questions brother!
@@ontherebel11 is the bat wing the oem one?
@@PeskyWabbit. yes it is, the 2023 touring model came with a different batwing, it is a little larger.
Agree with D L 👍🏼 Outstanding and highly valuable for people like me considering one of these 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Jose, I sincerely appreciate your feedback sir! 🤙
Hands down, one of the most comprehensive motorcycle reviews I’ve ever seen. I wish he was able to review bunch of different bikes in the same way but I understand that these kinds of reviews take time and a personal passion for the specific bike you’re reviewing but a guy can dream can’t he??
Thank you very much for your kind words Clark! You are too kind brother! 🙏
Agreed, I've never seen such an in depth and thorough review on a bike.
Congratulations and thank you so much for the most useful, comprehensive and perfect review I've ever seen. Please keep reviewing the Rebel! Ciao from Italy!🤟🏻🇮🇹🇺🇲
Thank you very much Laurentius, I really appreciate your kindness! 🙏
Looks like the comments are unanimous, just wanted to say I own a 500 and still watched this for the excellent breakdown on your mods and maintenance, and really appreciate the overall thoroughness of your impressions and opinions. Thank you!
I appreciate it man, thank you very much! It makes it all worth it! 🙏
I will keep you updated brother!
👍

Hi Greg! Thank you very much for your kind feedback, I sincerely appreciate it! 🙏
I've started looking at this bike, and your review was very educational and helpful. Thank you!
I'm very happy to hear that it was helpful!! Please don't hesitate to ask me questions you may have that were not covered in the video! I still remember the amount of extensive research i did before pulling the trigger on the Rebel, back then there was very little information available....
great video, very informative ,love what you've done to your bike, thanks for taking the time to share this
Thank you Paul! I'm glad you found it helpful brother! 🙏
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your updates and experiences.

Thank you Aramis7, I really appreciate it! 🙏
This was one of the best reviews. Thank you.
Thank you dorstefan, I'm glad you found it helpful! 🙏
great overview! this just reinforces my desire to get one. I love that the DCT gives you the choice to relax and look around or ride harder when you want to and just switch back and forth at will. I can't wait until I can responsibly purchase this bike. thanks for the video!
Thank you ksspang! You and I are on the same page! 🤙
thanks for the great video, really helped me understand the DCT better. Also the problems section was amazing, Thanks so much!
Hi WiredKydd, i'm glad that the video was helpful brother, don't hesitate to ask me anything as it's difficult to cover every angle in the video.
The level of professionalism and educational input that you have provided in your vid on the Rebel bike is phenomenal!!! Ive been thinking of laying my hands on this nice Honda cruiser and your great video has helped me dispel any potential queries or worries…Great job!!! Many thanks!!!
Thank you Vic, I am glad that you found it helpful, and very grateful for your feedback! 🤙
Excellent job. Thank you for all your time doing this video.
Hi Lily, thank you for your kind words, it makes it all worth it! 🙏
A very thorough video, the best I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing Sir!
Thank you for your feedback sir, i sincerely appreciate it!
I’m definitely thankful that you made this video. I love the ideas and information you’ve given me.
I sincerely appreciate your feedback, thank you!!!
Fabulous, thorough review.
Thank you Norm! 🙏
Great video! A lot of help for new Rebel 1100 DCT owner as myself!
Hi Denys! Congratulations man! You will love the rebel 1100 DCT once you get it dialed in to your liking! Thank you for sharing your joy! 🙏
Great review. I have a DCT Wing bagger and though I hated the DCT at first I've come to love it. It took about a year to explore and appreciate all that you can do with it much of which you covered. Thank you.
Thank you George! I really appreciate it! 🙏 I've definitely grown to love the DCT!
This is the best review I have seen. Thanks happy trails and be careful.
Thank you Robert!!!
Great overview. Thank you.
Thank you for stopping by!! 🙏
Fantastic Breakdown. It would be great if more reviews were like this.
Thank you very much Joseph, I sincerely appreciate your feedback!
I can’t say enough about how amazing this review is 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
I am very happy to hear that you found it helpful, thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback!!!
Very thorough review, great work my friend.
Thank you Ben! I really appreciate your feedback sir! 🤙
Great detailed and informative video, Thank you :)
I really appreciate your encouragement West! Thank you again brother! 🙏
Banger video as always Gus! Glad I got to partake in some of those miles/rides with you. I'm loving my Rebel 1100 everyday. I really want the new windscreen and hard bags from the touring model!
Hi Link! So good to hear from you brother! Yes, riding together is so much fun! We gotta sort out a long tour! I'm actually itching to go on a trip 🤣🤣 it's been too long!
@@ontherebel11 Let me know if you're down Florida way brother! I'm in North Florida to be specific.
Thanks for this review. Actually indecisive about the H-D Nightster and the rebel 1100t DCT.
Hi Christian! That's a tough one brother. Just be honest with yourself about what you want, let it be an emotional decision so that you don't regret getting something that might be better on paper but your heart is somewhere else. Compare what turns you off between the two rather than what you like about them. If you are able to overlook brand loyalty, the decision will come to you, sleep on it.
Great Review Well covering things .. Not had any issues yet but gives me an idea what to watch for .. A+++
It's great to hear from you Leeroy, thank you for your kind words sir! 🙏
Awesome review!! Thank you for putting so much effort to share your experience! Great job!!👏
Thank you Taras! I am happy to hear that you found it helpful! 🙏
Fantastic, complete, honest review. Thank You so much for your work putting this together. I'll be getting one of these to park beside my Versys 650 so I can pick a mood for riding. Best review on this Rebel 1100 on UA-cam
Thank you William, I sincerely appreciate it brother!
I just bought it and dude, you channel is a gold mine.
Congratulations! You will love it more each time you ride! Thank you for stopping by 🤙
Best review of a bike I have ever seen -great job!,
Wow! Thank you very much Mark, a great way to start my weekends! I sincerely appreciate your generosity 🙏🙏 have a great weekend brother!
I've been in the market for a bike for sometime and the Honda Rebel has been on my radar for a while. Thank you for such a great review which has helped me decide. The Rebel 1100 DCT is going into the garage this spring, thanks for helping me make this very important decision.
Hi Calvin! Thank you for sharing that, you just made my day brother! I'm very excited for you, you will love the way the bike rides! Just be patient with the making the bike comfortable for your dimensions, that's the one thing that most people struggle with in the beginning. Would love to hear your feedback once you get the bike, it's fun to relive those memories through new owners! please reach brother!
Great video! Very helpful.
I'm glad you found it helpful Tim and Julie, thank you for sharing your feedback! 🙏
Thank you for including common issues. That’s very helpful!
I'm glad to hear that you found it helpful Joseph! 👍
Perfect review from start to finish well done my friend , subbed and liked .
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate your kind feedback! 🙏
That seems like a lot of problems. Thank you for being so in depth.
Hi Brian, keep in mind that these issues have been gathered from owners all around the world over a 2.5 year period, in my experience they are minor and insignificant, but i respect that others may find them as a deterrent to owning the rebel, hence i wanted to keep the review as honest as possible for potential owners to make an educated decision before committing. Thank you for your feedback brother!
*FANTASTIC* VDO 👌
Happy New Year🥂🎉 to you and your beloved family, mate
Thank you Eric!!! Happy new year to you and yours buddy!!!
great info! didnt waste my time watching! learned something! well done sir!!!

Thank you very much for your practical sharing !
Hello Lee, it is very good to hear from you! I really appreciate your kind words sir, thank you! 🙏
Great video man!
Thank you sir! 🙏
I owned an 1100 dct when 🎉hey first came out. Your video is the best and most informative one ever published. Ive created several and watched many over the past few years. Great job, and thanks!
Hi Jeff! It's so cool of you to stop by brother! I'm a fan!
I really appreciate your support and encouragement brother, it means so much coming from you! Much respect 🙏
Great video, Very informative…Nice job
Thank you Wally! 🙏
Nice video. Was looking at a Rebel 1100 and saw this. 👍
Thank you P3iSwe! Let me know if you have any questions that were not covered 🤙
A perfect review. Bravo.
Thank you very much Amedeo, I'm happy that you found it helpful brother! 🙏
Thanks for the lovely video. Especially the problems. I also have a rebel 1100 dct and sometimes it shut down at slow speeds. My fix was to go to the dealership and they did a recalibration/firmware update. Haven't got problems with it anymore. I also love the dct like you do. Combined with the different rider modes you can really set a riding style that fits your current mood.
Hi Caithlyn! Thank you for sharing that valuable information, i wish i had know about that i would have mentioned it in the video! This will help so many people, thank you for sharing so that others may benefit!! Happy new year!!!!
Im in love with this bike, youre doing a bang up job with your videos. You got a fan here buddy. From Kentucky 👍
Thank you you for your kind words and support, it makes it all worth it!!!
Very good review, thanks much.
Thank you for your kind feedback Gregory! 🙏
Awesome review thanks
Thank you for your kind comment! 🙏
This is very helpful. Thank you.
I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful, thank you for your feedback!!!!
Great work! your video gave me a good idea of what i could face while owning a Rebel 1100, Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you Shabeer, so happy to hear that you found the video helpful!!! 👍
Excellent video, Gus. It is absolutely amazing how my observations are EXACTLY the same as yours. I have the same identical bike as you do. I have found the same issues as you have, and your workarounds are spot on. I also appreciate all the work you put into this video showing the different things you talked about.
I have made a few adjustments to improve my comfort, (Corbin Gun Slinger seat and Burly Brand Mini Ape handlebars).
I think the most significant improvement which came from your suggestion is the Cruisetec Tires. They have completely changed the handling and comfort of the bike. I cannot thank you enough for that suggestion.
I have a little over 14,000 miles on my bike and ride it almost daily down here in Florida. Honda makes a great product and I think the only bike I would trade this one for would be the Gold Wing. (I have to wait until my financial manager (wife) approves it though.) haha
Thank you again. You have allowed me to get more out of my bike and optimize its enjoyability.
Peace, brother. Eric
Eric! Brother it's so good to hear from you! I sincerely appreciate your kindness and friendship! I am in the same boat as well, if i had the space and resources i would have a goldwing!!!!
Great review Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you Darren! Much appreciated brother! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄
Nice review! You're really racking up the miles on the Rebel! 👏😉👍 --QM
Thank you Quasi! 🙏 I only have 1,982,686 miles to catch up to you 😅
if anyone is interested i have footage of riding my 1100 on crazy off road dirt roads
ua-cam.com/video/40wXC77V1y0/v-deo.html got it up
This was great. Thx buddy
Hi Mike! How are you doing brother?! Thanks man! Really appreciate it brother! 🙏
Great review Gustav, as a fellow 1100 DCT owner can only fully endorse your comments on use of the DCT, if you want to go for it in the curves use manual, DCT for a chilled ride or coping with traffic congestion. I'm now 67, been riding since 17, but for me now this bike offers more than enough performance, looks great, handles really well and so far ultra reliable. Only thing I disagree on, forward controls. I went for the De Pretto Moto set and with arthritic hips, a game changer, tried highway pegs on crash bars but didn't work for me but that is personal ergonomics.
Thank you Derek! 🙏 I had the opportunity to ride a friend's rebel with forward controls, I think I have issues because I have short legs.... Regarding the hip, surprisingly the Corbin seat helped since it raised me up a little!
I have been the owner of a Rebel 1100T_DCT since June of this year. I have watched many driving review videos over the past 2 months and yours is the most detailed explanation. Thank you.
Thank you very much sir, i really appreciate your kind comment! Congratulations on your rebel 1100, it is an amazing bike!
Fantastic review once again 👏.
I am 61, and have been riding since I was 16. I have had many bikes over the years, and have been on Harleys and Buells since 1992.
At 5 foot 4 inches, and joints that aren't so supple as they once were then ergonomics, and driving/manoeuvring characteristics are equally important as bhp, lean angle, and 0-60.....
I applaud your comprehensive, and informative reviews, and feel that a departure from my beloved V-twins to a parallel may well be on the horizon.
Thanks, and keep them coming.
Ride safe 🙏 👍
Thank you for your kind words John, it makes it all worth it when people find the video helpful. I continue to appreciate the rebel and just can't find a replacement tbh.... I've searched believe me 🤣🤣
It's just so convenient and easy to own... Not to mention that it still makes me smile from ear to ear! Thank you for sharing your feedback John! 🙏
You are welcome. What you do is exemplary. An impartial, objective critique, which can educate and inform, for free !! What's not to like ? 👍👍
This review is outstanding....head and shoulders above others.
I am grateful for your kind words sir! Thank you!!!!
Excellent video, guidance and explanation clear and to the point with clear demonstrations. Just hope other people cosidering making an instructional/guidance video follow your wonderful example. Opinions about your choices are all just that.......opinions..........!!!!!! You clearly made your judgements on sound, analytical experience and are therefore correct for you. Safe enjoyable riding.......
Andy! Thank you very much for your kind words Sir, i am humbled! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video
You are welcome Guillermo! I'm glad you found it helpful! 🙏
Very good review 👍
Thank you Mike!!!!
currently own a 2018 NC 750 X DCT but now especially after viewing this video I really want to add a Rebel DCT for touring (longer rides).
I think I've watched almost every YT video out there on this bike and this one is BY FAR the best video hands down. New scriber here. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words Kenton! As fate would have it, the 2021 nc750x was delayed to arrive at the dealership, and at the same time the rebel 1100 DCT came out, I couldn't wait to get back to riding after a 10 year break, so I got the rebel 1100 DCT instead, I couldn't have been happier, I doubt that I would have loved the nc750x as much as the rebel 1100, such a fun bike to ride! I'm at 24k miles and still loving it! 🤙
Great review.
Thank you Staylo! 🙏
Great info. The best. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your feedback, i am glad you found it helpful!
great video on the 1100,,many thanks.
Thank you for your kind feedback, I sincerely appreciate it! 🤙
Very awesome video liked everything on it very informative.
Thank you Rafael! 👍 I appreciate your feedback brother!
This is probably review I have ever seen of a motorbike - Thankyou!
Typo sorry!
Thank you so much Ted! 🙏
This has to be the best rebel 1100 review on UA-cam. I’ve been doing a lot of research as I’ve spent 3 years on my mt-03 and want to upgrade, this video helped a lot. Thank you!
Hi Nino, I'm so happy to hear that you found it helpful! Thank you for your kind feedback! 🙏
Excellent long term review and love the intro. Ride Safe!
Thank you very much brother Amer! So good to hear from you man! 🙏
@@ontherebel11 Likewise man...I didn't get to ride much since July as I was tied up with work. Hopeful that in the new years I will get to ride more than this year.
I totally understand brother! Are you planning to finish your trip to Alaska next year?
@@ontherebel11 That is the plan for now. Let's see how it goes....
WOW Without a doubt this is an outstanding review and well worth my time to watch. So many reviews out there are just a big waste of time. Thank you so much for being up-front and honest and detailed with your experience and spending so much time creating/publishing this video. Wish others would learn from you and post valuable content since most of the car reviews/bike reviews are garbage videos and a waste of time to watch. Great job!!
Hello Ninjarider, thank you very much for your kind feedback, it makes it all worth it!!!! 🙏
Thank you so much for this video. 👍
I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍 Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks for your review. It gave me some good ideas to try. I bought my Rebel in early November only has 1k now love the DCT due to tendinitis and arthritis, but the shift timing is harsh at times. I’m going to try the manual button and a little more comfortable seat is in the near future. I went with the Memphis Shade Batwing for me it has been a great investment.
Hi Gary! Congratulations man! Yes sir, with a little adjustment to make the bike fit you, it becomes amazing! Had I not sorted the seat, and reach to the bars, I would have sold the bike as the pain was unbearable for my awkward dimensions 🤣
love the new format
Thank you T! Always look forward to hearing your feedback brother! 🙏
excellent analysis… especially the “problems”
if ABS light only = abs issue (most likely dirty sensors)
ABS+TC = battery / electrical problem since abs and ecu modules are completely separate from each other
@@tkstylem thank you T! We have both learnt the hard way! 😊
BRILLIANT REVIEW !!!
Thank you very much sir!!!!
great video very informative,maybe getting one soon learnt alot,think i will subscribe to your channel
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that it was helpful! Feel free to ask any questions, it's not easy to cover everything in 1 video. 🙏
