This is probably the BEST review I have ever seen of a motorbike - Thankyou!
Thank you Ted, I appreciate your kind words sir! 🙏
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!
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! 🙏
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!!!! 🙏
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! 🙏
A great, professional, easy to understand and objective review. It's been a pleasure to listen to all those interesting comments and advices. I will certainly take the advantage of some of them for my Rebel 1100. It's a wonderful bike and the more I'm happy of having one after viewing this excellent review. Thank you and wish you next 30.000 km of enjoying your Rebel :)
Tomasz! Thank you for your kind words man, you made my day brother 🤙
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 ? 👍👍
Gus, this was T-Riffic! Thorough. Descriptive. Demonstrative. Educational. Invaluable.
I’ve had my bike since March 2021 but no where near your mileage. Short riding season here. I’ve also not had any of the problems you mentioned that you and a select few have had. The bike is relatively rock solid reliable.
I one hundred percent agree. Nothing on the market comes close to what this bike offers. Sporty, Naked. Cruiser. And after two years, there is now an aftermarket market. LOL.
Ride safe. Thanks again for all that you have shared. 🎉
You just made all the work so much worth it! Thank you for your kind words sir, I am so grateful! 🙏🙏🙏
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! 🤙
Great video Gus, thank you for all the great content you've given us this past year.
So good to hear from you Stephen! Thank you for your kind words sir, can't wait to ride together again! 🙏
Thank you for the review. I appreciate your candor on what are the issues the bike has, how you customized your 1100 and that you truly love it. I wish you may happy rides in your future.
Hi Greg! Thank you very much for your kind feedback, I sincerely appreciate it! 🙏
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!
A very thorough video, the best I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing Sir!
Thank you for your feedback sir, i sincerely appreciate it!
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! 🙏
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!
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! 🙏
Thank you for including common issues. That’s very helpful!
I'm glad to hear that you found it helpful Joseph! 👍
I really appreciate your very detailed explanations! Thanks. I just purchased an 1100 DCT and am anxious to start my modifications. Your videos will be a great tool!!
Congratulations Buck!!! Once you have the bike dialed in for your comfort, you will fall in love and you won't get bored!!! Please reach out if you have any questions!
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! 🤙
This is probably review I have ever seen of a motorbike - Thankyou!
Typo sorry!
Thank you so much Ted! 🙏
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!!! 👍
Wow. What a thorough, well laid out review. Thank you for putting this together!
Thank you! I'm very happy to hear that you found it helpful! 🙏
An excellent video, very informative and detailed.
A huge thank you ! for taking the time. Your videos are a delight to watch, this one sets the bar very high in terms of quality.
Greetings from France.
Thank you very much Marcus! I really appreciate your kindness! 🙏🙏
This is the best review I have seen. Thanks happy trails and be careful.
Thank you Robert!!!
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 🙏
MUST WATCH!! 🏍️🏍️RACETRACK performance: Rebel 1100 DCT😲😲😲
ua-cam.com/video/nlGkqHoBwKM/v-deo.html
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....
Perfect review from start to finish well done my friend , subbed and liked .
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate your kind feedback! 🙏
Greetings from France. I collected my bike only yesterday, Rain Mode imperative. I've been watching a lot of YT videos on the 1100DCT, some of only marginal utility. Then I happened upon this one. Excellent! You've acquired an enthusiastic subscriber.
Salut, et merci beaucoup! Congratulations on getting one of the best motorcycles in the market! You will grow to love it more each day you ride it! Thank you for your kind words 🙏
@@ontherebel11 De rien! Your review was superbly informative and will be very useful. A quick Q: Where did you find the custom exhaust? The OE is a swollen, obstructive carbuncle. I've no wish to desecrate the environment with noise, but I want to make it simple (and safe) to raise the rear wheel to clean and lubricate the chain.
@@m2menuiserie540 🙏 thank you!! My exhaust was hand made in sweeden, I got lucky because a fellow owner decided to sell it. It is a straight pipe so it is loud, but a dB killer can be added to it. I'm sure you can find a local shop in France to make one for you. It might be a little expensive because everything has to be done and welded by hand, I appreciate it because watching the welding process is like watching an artist, it is very difficult!
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!!!
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.
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.
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!!!!
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!!!
Thank you for your comprehensive overview, really appreciate your depth of knowledge.
I'm happy that you found the presentation helpful Richard, thank you for your feedback sir!
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!
@ 17 minutes in I got inspired. Yeah, we don't want no wheelie control or traction control.
This bike makes sense. In the early days BMW was known for making dependable lightweight touring bikes that could hold a lot of weight. However, either what people wanted, or what people thought they wanted, or what designers and engineers thought people wanted, whatever it was, they no longer were lightweight tourers. I believe this bike should have a long historical run. It makes sense. Maybe I should buy one before they're not lightweight anymore. I like the soft luggage. Hope it will keep stuff dry in the rain.
Hi Ray, we thing alike! I was asking myself why i love this bike so much when there are so many others out there, the simple answer is that it is so easy to ride and own! In the sense that it is so light, nimble, fun, powerful, exciting and just a breeze to roll backwards or just roll it around. I have done sever trips of a few thousand miles each, the longest being 3,000 miles. I love the light weight setup for touring that i have, and the bags have a waterproof liner and have been tested in heavy rain over several hours per day, no problems at all.
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! 🙏
Dude, you are gold! thanks for sharing your experience and tips, very very useful indeed.
Thank you Arvydas, i really appreciate your kind words!!!!
Great video ! Looking forward to your valve adjustment video .
Thank you so much George!! I'm a little anxious about that project but i really want to learn how to do it!!!
Gus, great as always! Excellent value video!
Thank you very much Wo St! Thank you! 🙏
I finally sold my sportster 48 and picked up a brand new 2022 rebel 1100 dct! Been watching all your videos and this one saved my side covers. The dealer installed an sae plug which was awesome since I took it home in low 40s. This allowed me to plug in my all my Milwaukee leather heated gear with an adapter. After a couple short rides I noticed those side covers just didn't look right and sure enough they didn't install those clips right exactly like you thought! Thanks for all your experience.
Congratulations man! I'm so happy to hear that, how do you like it and what mods have you planned for it already? 🤙
@On the Rebel 11 new muffler is first for sure! Probably just adapt the one from the ctx that was a sportster slip on. Then swingarm bags and a tail bag and probably a small windscreen for now. Absolutely loving the bike, its everything I was hoping it was!
@@genoapb fantastic to hear brother! So happy to hear that you like it, once you get it dialed in for your comfort, you will love it more each day you ride! 🤙
Another outstanding review ! Thanks Gustavo 🙏
Hi William! Thank you so much man! 🙏🙏
great review and straight talk as always, well done brother and thanks!

Great long-term review, thanks for posting!!
Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement brother, I really appreciate it brother! 🙏🙏🙏
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'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!
Gus, best piece of advice you've provided... Know when to run the transmission in Automatic mode, when cruising, and when to run it in Manual mode anytime you do the twisties or roads with lots of curves where you don't want the bike shifting in the middle of a turn automatically. Experience is the best teacher! My HD Sport Glide is the same way in curves... it's much much better to have your bike in a lower gear and have the throttle control less sensitive than have it in a higher gear and having an engine with a lot of displacement and torque, having a twitchy throttle cause your rear end to sag, front end to come up, and destroy the line you're riding through the turn on a high HP high torque engine. I was looking into a Rebel 1100, but at 6' 5", there was no way for it to fit me properly with those mid peg controls.
Thank you brother! 🙏 I have seen taller riders be comfortable on a Rebel, especially with forward controls, but it's very difficult for me to relate being 5'7 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic Breakdown. It would be great if more reviews were like this.
Thank you very much Joseph, I sincerely appreciate your feedback!
I will keep you updated brother!
👍
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!
I wish every bike review was like this. Great job!
Thank you Shaun! I really appreciate your feedback 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!!!!
Fabulous, thorough review.
Thank you Norm! 🙏
This was one of the best reviews. Thank you.
Thank you dorstefan, I'm glad you found it helpful! 🙏
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! 🙏
What an amazing review! Great job man!
Thank you Chris, it's great to hear from you brother!!
*FANTASTIC* VDO 👌
Happy New Year🥂🎉 to you and your beloved family, mate
Thank you Eric!!! Happy new year to you and yours buddy!!!
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 good review, thanks much.
Thank you for your kind feedback Gregory! 🙏
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! 🙏
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! 🙏

Very thorough review, great work my friend.
Thank you Ben! I really appreciate your feedback sir! 🤙
Amazing job sir !
Thank you Victor! I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
Great video! Very helpful.
I'm glad you found it helpful Tim and Julie, thank you for sharing your feedback! 🙏
great video on the 1100,,many thanks.
Thank you for your kind feedback, I sincerely appreciate it! 🤙
Fantastic video, very detailed and answered to all my questions even to the non existing ones.
I got my Rebel in March 21
And got 12,100 miles on it.
So far no problems and my tires are still look good.
It's interesting about the vibration. I never had it ,but now I now why.
I adjusted my rear socks the same way you did.
On the end of the first ride
and didn't go faster than 60 miles hour.
The only thing bothers me is the ergonomics.
I'm 5'10.5" 181 Lbs. and my shoulders and lower back was hurting after an hour.
Finally I got a driver's back rest from Japan maid for the Rebel. Made by Daytona. What a difference. Strongly recommended. No more back pain and my shoulders are 50% better also. I wish I vould of gotten them a year ago.
They are $275.00
One more funny thing. I ride my bike with the cruise control exactly the same way you are doing it.
By the way I'm always in the manual mode custom sporty setting by me.
I just love to pull that trigger all the time.
I wanted to trade it for
Something else, but just couldn't do it.
I think I'm going to get the same tires you recommended when I need
them. I also got an air seat cover. a better horn a cool
GPS and soft grips and still love the bike.
Thanks again for your efforts, take care.
Andre! It's so good to hear from you man! Yes, I have my eye on the Daytona backrest, I just wish it could attach to the bolt under the seat, I may end up fabricating a steel single point bracket to attach the same backrest as the passenger, I want it to be as low profile as possible! Thank you for chiming in brother! 🙏
Great overview. Thank you.
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!
great info! didnt waste my time watching! learned something! well done sir!!!
Thank you Keith! 👍
Thank you. I plan on buying this bike soon!!!
I'm glad you liked it! You will love the bike! 👍
This is very helpful. Thank you.
I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful, thank you for your feedback!!!!
That was a great video covering so much!
I've never had a wobble, even up to 100... could be a combination of things.
I also love the really big Batwing Fairing from Memphis Shades, its great for doing tons of miles, or in the cold.
I'm glad I never had any of those issues you listed. I added tons of lights and hooked up a wireless charger for my phone... and added a front and rear camera to record all the time on the bike, and guess i didn't mess up the electrical doing it, even though I made it all up as I went and spliced into things as guesses... 20,000 miles and it still working.
Only thing i hate on my bike is the stupid chain... really wish it had a belt or shaft or something i didn't have to clean, lube, and tension so much.
Aya!! It's so good to hear from you!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, 20,000 miles! WOW!!!!
Great info. The best. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your feedback, i am glad you found it helpful!
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
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. 🙏
I have a Honda CTX 700 and I’m switching to the Rebel 1100. Thanks for the video.
Hi Jeff! There are a few CTX owners that have switched to the rebel 1100, I've heard good feedback from them after they switched! Thank you for your feedback! 🙏
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! 🤙
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!
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 🤙
Really excellent review. Well done.
Thank you Graham! 🙏
New subs here..❤ love the effort and details for honest review ❤❤

Probably the best and most useful mc review I have ever seen. Thank you. Currently on a 2012 NC700X (non-DCT) with 45K miles owned for 3 years and thinking about the next bike. You really got me excited about the DCT with your demo using manual and cruise control. Rebel 1100 vs Suzuki DE800 but even at 5 feet 10 inches I don't really like tall bikes.
Hi Paul!! Thanks man, that's very kind of you!! BTW, after a 10 year break from riding and a whole year of research, i had decided to get a 2021 NC 750X, after failing to located any in the states i couldn't wait any longer.... The rebel 1100 DCT was released and i chose to keep an open mind and give it a try with the option of trading it in when the NC showed up. Little did i know that i was going to fall in love with this bike, the only NC i'm interested in now is the State (excellent roads)!! Things happen for a reason and i'm proud of myself for not being my usual stubborn self and keeping an open mind instead. The Rebel with the DCT rekindled my passion for bikes and i'm always looking at something to top it, nothing out there with such a package that fits both my stature and riding style! I also predict when i get a second bike, that i will gravitate to the rebel for it's ease of use and addictive high. come on Rebel 1300 DCT already!! LOL
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions that i didn't cover in the video.
Good luck with your decision Paul, i know it isn't easy.
@@ontherebel11 the problems with the nc700x as follows: 2tall means it's trickier to deal with because of the height and getting solid footing when you're say backing the bike up and there's a little sand on the pavement. Second problem is you sit up too high in the Wind third when you corner you've got a long way to go to get the bike down into the Curve third I find myself tempted to occasionally scrape eggs and that's not really safe on the street. Thus a cruiser solves these issues. The rebel 1100 is more than a knockoff Harley and I really like the touring package with the hard bags and batwing fairing, cruise control and DCT is something you can't get in any other brand. Parallel twins are today's go to engine and 82 horsepower is perfect more than 50 that the ncx has but less than 100 which opens the door to unsafe speeds.
@@pcofranc well said Paul! I've dropped so many bikes because of the footing issue you describe, got so tired of it over the past 30 years.... The rebel solved so many of my issues, both the known and unknown, the tangible and intangible! Love this bike!
