- Finally I get my hand on the CMX Rebel 1100 .. Here is my first impression ..
Yes I say forks instead of shocks I also assumed the front was none adjustable but was wrong. ... oh well you can't have it all (I'm sure someone will try and be clever lol )

I’ve had mine about 10 days, first DCT bike I’ve bought due to tendon issues in my left hand and wrist. It’s been a revelation. Fit and finish is excellent and I absolutely love the power, looks and how it handles.
What is your height and weight? I am 6' 220 and considering one, but worried I may not like the foot mid position. Like you, I have some issues (arthritis) and i'm late forties so it isn't getting better. The DCT is an attractive feature.
MAN i AM LOVING THIS EVERY MINUTE WITH YOU GO GO GO !!!!!!!!
Hi had mine for a month now done 1850 miles already love it. Got the manual in red. Nice gear box super smooth. A bit of a hooligan bike round the back lanes. Sounds lovely with a pipe on 👍
One of the best videos about the Rebel 1100 !!
I like your emotions and the feeling of driving ...
Thank you very much, and greetings from Austria
Thank you
I got my Rebel 2 months ago and I love it. Once you figure out the special DCT settings in manual mode you are into a very cool and special ride. I had to add 3 clicks to the rear shock adjustment to tighten it a bit make it 6.
The factory setting is 3.
I'm 183lbs.
I'm glad it doesn't have a TFT. It certainly seems to handle. I'm not surprised it's got some shove; it's an AT 1100 engine with a beefed-up crank. I reckon you could tour on it. Sissy bar with a R9Kustom Sissy Bar Duffle Bag slotted over it.
The best Rebel 1100 video on UA-cam.
I ordered my manual Rebel 1100 after falling in love with this bike on a testride, so I fullly recognize the joy you felt when riding it! Can’t wait to pick it up at the dealer…..Thank you for this nice video!
Have fun
Excellent review! I just got my 2022 DCT and I absolutely love it! 👍🏽
Best review I've seen of this bike, you ride it like I would. Just ordered a DCT version in burgundy red, can't wait. Coming off a 2020 Rocket 3 GT which I love but at 66 now and bad arthritis in both hands and one knee (probably from 40 odd years of riding) the DCT should be great, loved the Rocket but most of the time you can't use all that power and torque, its insane. Spec'd the bike with touring pack and mini bat wing and still got a decent wedge of change, great value and waiting impatiently for the bike.
had this bike for 3 weeks just keeps getting better even after riding my VFR for 18 months
Well I’ve just bought one as you now know and I’m very happy, went in to Dobles to arrange a test ride yesterday and came home with one today!! It’s pure fun!! Watched your blog after I bought it as I wanted to test it blind so to speak, but I agree with everything you’ve said...
I’ll see it soon enough lol
I can vouch for Dobles, just bought a Honda pcx 125 from them and they gave me a cracking p/ex price for my bike. Far better than other dealers.
Great review as always, have noticed a few channels I follow have not been showing up in my feed, then by magic this appeared in August, looking at this bike on my shortlist.
What a great, great, great review of a bike I normally don’t pay attention to, because I’m not into the cruiser’s. Your enthusiasm is enthusiastically! Your love for the the Honda 1100 DCT parallel platform made me want to have one too. I’m a fan of your style of reviewing. 😁👊🏻 (Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language 🤓)
Thank you! best review i have seen. Will have a black DCT in 3 weeks.
Beautiful bike, lovely scenery, and a very comprehensive review. Nicely done Mr. Fish, enjoy your channel.
Thank you,
I picked up my 1100 DCT in April and absolutely love it. BTW, you don’t need to brake to get some great downshifts. You can use the paddles in auto mode anytime you’d like to quickly shift up or down. The auto mode will happily then continue it’s duties once you’ve stopped your manual shifting interlude. Enjoyed your first impressions very much. Subscribed.
Thanks
Really enjoyable review, so glad to see you back in full swing. 😉
Thanks
I actually own this bike now. What I mean by that is the bike in this video is my bike. Same reg! Not sure if that is a good thing after watching this! Lol. Thank you Mr Fish for running it in! lol.
Bully !
Thanks was looking forward to this review ❤️
I must say I’ve been extremely lucky because I picked up a used one with only 69 miles for 7500 cash . Man I’m loving that DCT!
looks stunning and you Mr Fish look a badass riding it.
😂 thanks
Mate, you are a legend, had a proper hoot watching ya. And now huuum. Test ride on Saturday.
Cheers 🍻
@@Mrfish2015 actually test rode the cb1000r. Bought it. Bit of a bargain.
I can see in your video you really like it. I have a lot of fun with it also on the Jersey shore in the US.
It's a lot of fun to cruise around with some flamenco guitar music in my helmet. I traded in a Kawasaki 650s Vulcan for it and it was a nice step up for sure.
I bought a CMX1100LM Honda on 11-20-21' new/7 miles on the seedo...! Mine has no auto-matic settin'...It is awesome!!! In 1980 Yamaha had a good 650 this weight. Makes me pull wheelie's like a 350 Honda CL did in 72/73'. I know it's performance is set, with the different modes.
Loved the beginning. Owning it like a gangster 😂
I'm heading down to Bromley from North Wales on Friday to get my RS supershielded on Saturday & will pop into Dobles in the afternoon to have a butchers & mention a fish follower to see if I can blag a demo ride.
Another great review Mr Fish.
✊🐟
Nice one on all fronts I hear good things about super shield
I love the Rebel. Considered the 500 before getting an XSR900.
Wish they'd stuck a modern dash on it though.
"You can hustle, you can cruise"; good hook for a R&R song.....
I’ll play the drums
Excellent review, like the extra space under the seat. i wish my CMX500 have
I really like this bike, the only downside why I didn't plan to get this is the tank size, it's not for long distance. That's why I am waiting for the new NT1100. Hope you review it as soon it is available. Thanks.
Thanks for usual perfect review. Id buy one of these in a flash apart from colours and the exhaust. Naff
Oh dear, if the Mrs sees this I feel a trip to see Ian will be on the cards. She loves her 500 rebel as it's small enough for her Hobbit like stature. However it lacks the oomph she wants, as do I on occasion! Best start saving then.
Cheers for a great first review as usual.
Ha ha , thanks
I'm getting mine in a week. I just can't wait ....
I enjoyed your thorough review. Thanks
I just ordered a Sondors Metacycle. Hopefully you get one to review when they come out.
This is going to be a bestseller.
I have bought one and love it 😊
Your country lanes are beautiful. I'm in south Kansas. The roads are arrow straight and often nearly devoid of trees. I want to ride on roads like yours.
That exhaust!...like a ruddy bread bin!....needs to go 🤣👍.....I wonder if can you fit collapsible touring forward pegs ?( keep the mids for everyday use and just forward pegs for long distance cruising?!)....great vid mate ...best of luck getting a long term loan 😎👌
Great review mate! Unfortunately, they do not bring this motorcycle to Turkey. If it did I would definitely buy it.
I've got some time on one of these tomorrow. This is actually the first of your videos I've seen. You made me chuckle referring to the friendly hand on the buttocks. Nicely edited video by the way sir. Subscribe button has been tapped, cup of tea made. Now to watch the remainder of the review 👍
Thanks for the sub mate
Went to the Dealer with my GL1800 F6C cause i had some things to talk about. He asked if i wanna testride the Rebel 1100 (manual). As a former VT1100 Rider i sure did! Can you imagine how i felt about the size? =D
BUT, it was the greatest Fun on two wheels since Moped-Days. It feels so tiny but with this Motor (wich tbf is out of this world) it was awesome! I will get meself one. One Day.
I like it Looks cool looks like it rides well I would have a sissy bar on the back and maybe change the seating also change the silencer at least and just to finish off duel discs on the front otherwise its a yes from me for what it's worth good review very enjoyable cheers : )
The new Honda Rebel 1100. Great bike (powerful, looks good, good value, Honda, reliability) *_But..._*
Heres known negatives very few sellers talk about:
- DCT: on the automatic the bike sometimes goes to the wrong gear which can be unnerving at key times. Most folk will buy the manual trans.
- Uncomfortable for medium to long distances (the hard seat & short peg position are the problem here)
- The suspension is very tight and so on bumpy roads you will feel every bump.
- Chain: maintenance on this Rebel chain will be a pain, especially without a center stand.
SO -
If you are small/short the Honda Rebel 1100cc may work in manual transmission.
I Want, I Want, I Want!!!. My CBF1000FA is a gonner for one of these 😃😃😃😃
Thanks MR FISH!!
I owned a Rebel 300. I like the way it rode/handled, but the single cylinder vibrated like one of those paint machines at the hardware store. At lower rpms, it was fine, but wind it up on back country roads for 30 minutes and my hands, feet and privates were all numb. The seat was also horrible. I hope they upgraded that. I didn't mind the lower hp at all. (25hp?) But the vibrations were so bad, it had to go. But I learned to ride on it, so it served it's purpose. It also taught me I wasn't a cruiser guy. I wanted to try the Honda CB500X but none in stock. Went with a Kawasaki Versys 650. Rather top heavy, but smooth as can be.
i bought me a 300 and return it to the dealer the next day and swamped it for an 1100. Now am happy.
I love this bike, I'm going to get one but the MANUAL tranny. This video proves what seasoned riders think of it, its a MIRACLE !!!!! I'm going to get me one of these. If the man in the video is impressed then so am I ... .. ..
I love this bike! I want to buy one
Many styling cues from other machines but Honda makes it look garage made circa 1980's
Fabulous looking bike
Will never get used to those crowded Digital Displays.....
am so pleased to have a Speedo and Tacho with Analog Dials. with easy to read displays , and always in peripheral Vision.
It's so damn scary watching you Brits drive on the wrong side of the road.
I'm glad you're comfy on this thing. We're almost exactly the same size (you have 6 lbs on me). I was afraid it would be WAYYY too small.
I ordered one yesterday (same one you're riding - black DCT).
Thanks for making the vid!
Correct side you mean 😉
The right side is the left side.
Great review again Mr Fish one of your best mabey the best.Would love to listen to a long term review of this bike.
I would also love if you could do a review of the Harley Street Bob. (I just sneaked it there...)
Thank you.
Vanya
Hopefully get more Harleys this year
I'm pretty sure I need to find somewhere to test drive one of these !
I loved my rebel1100,it was decently fast, super build quality and above all, cool as hell. Unfortunately i like to do long day long rides and not only could i not sit in the saddle for more than about 1.5 hours at a time, the pillion seat is essentially a piece of leather on a sheet of steel. My wife was nearly in tears when we rode to landsend and she took the train back home.
Ive swapped my rebel in for an nt1100 (same engine, sports tourer)
If i won the lotto id def buy another one for pub runs though
Love this bike very much.
When you request a long loan, ask if they have one in TOURING SPEC! There is a selectiom of Honda bits, screen, bags, etc, that will give a more accurate idea of long term usage and abilities!
Get what you’re given I’m afraid
A cruiser id actually consider? I must be old
Merci pour la review, je vais l'essayer jeudi prochain, par contre je ne sais pas si elle aura ou non le DCT. A bientôt bonne route et surtout GAZ...
Comme prévu, je l'ai essayée, malheureusement seulement 30 minutes c'est vraiment trop court. Comme vous j'ai eu le modèle DCT, le moteur est un vrai régal, un rêve, il permet de crouser mais aussi de rider plus sportiement, par contre, je ne me suis pas du tout senti à l'aise dessus, les jambes écartées, le guidon trop en avant (je ne suis pas grand 170cm) je pense qu'un guidon plus rapproché pourrait améliorer cela, le siège est plutôt agréable par contre le siège passager est ridiculement petit, mon épouse refuserait de s'y asseoir... je vais attendre de voir ce qu'il sera proposé comme accessoires à l'avenir car je suis vraiment tombé amoureux du moteur. J'espère que vous aurez l'occasion de faire un essais longue durée. Belle route à vous!!!
Looking forward to the nc1100/cb1100t plain roadster if it ever sees the light of day.
Absolutely agree, Honda really need to put that engine in a ' street ' bike ...please Honda ;)
@@keithsbitsandpieces Agreed! I'm hoping that Honda will drop this motor into something similar to the CB650R or CB1000R chassis. I don't know how the power/weight ratio works out compared to the inline-4's, but I think the 1100 twin will have better/lower torque for sure. Give the bike some good USD forks and a good rear damper (both fully-adjustable, of course). Adding the full lean-sensitive IMU would also be nice for wheelie control and DCT control while cornering. It would be loads of fun in the twisties! 😉👍 --QM
100% I’ve told them already to do it 😂
As a former DCT Africa Twin owner, I be was really looking forward to this bike. Not sure about the looks though (I saw one in the showroom the other day). I think it's the upswept tank which doesn't do it for me... Reminds me of an 80's/90's Yamaha Virago!
Not as shiny lol
Upswept tank is a copy of the tank lifts that are popular on Harley Davidson bikes.
Test riding one tomorrow..
Great note to exhaust, one ugly can though!
Keep the sound and change the look.
Would have preferred double discs on the front though.
Do you think the brakes are adequate when combined ?especially sport mode..
Cheers 👍
Can the rebel 1100 go slow without overheating? I live in a tropical country where it records 53° heat index and I once owned a liter bike but it's tiring cause I have to go fast all the time. In the next years I'm considering the rebel 500, vulcan s and rebel 1100, and I'm a type of rider who got tired of bursts of power and just want to cruise.
After using the DCT transmission on a bigger bike I prefer it over the manual. On a smaller bike like my CRF 250L rally obviously manual is much better but on my Africa twin the DCT helped out a lot! That bike right there is basically an Africa twin with a different frame and set up same motor and transmission pretty much with different tuning I guess 🤷👍👍
Just watched this again. If it was a touch cramped, you could build the seat up a couple of inches. There would be plenty of room then.
I altered the sissy bar bag reference below. You should look them up. Miles better than the Biltwell job. R9Kustom in Thailand. I am also in Thailand.
Just got mine today 🤘
👌
I got mine yesterday. Haven’t told the wife. So it will be stored away for some time. I only got a quick ride before 6 inches of rain on 40 knots put that on hold. But that short ride was just like the Fish said. Brilliant.
I called a couple of dealers who said all UK black dct had been allocated and would need to wait until the new year, I called Dobles who had a second hand advertised but that was sold when I called but they did have a cancelled order black dct still in the crate if I wanted it. A few calls later money in place and now waiting delivery less than 8 days later now that is service and all done over the phone and through e-mail so I saved having to go back and forth with paperwork and what a service from Doble I hope it is as good as the reviews on UA-cam, dct is no problem as I have had a 700S dct since 2013 and know how strange it can be on it's gear changes.
I like my bike color to match my Oxfords.... I prefer the Oxblood / Burgundy paint job. 6'5" and 270 #, so I've got my clicks at 15 to 17 out of 20, depending if I'm cruising or doing more highway.
Love the look of the bike though to me the headlight lets it down a bit. Not so keen on the look of the four LED’s. otherwise very nice. 👍
Agree with the rear brake pedal, so bad, I'd fit a Nissin clutch master cylinder and a short line to the ABS pump and strip all the rest out,i.e.,no pedals at the feet, moped style? Looking at buying the '23 'bagger' version! (DCT). Tank needs changing, FCR(France) did a tank the way it should have been!
Hi Fish. Funky bike. The cowl over the clocks, I think looks like a robot face. Great
I actually thought the same when I edited the vid lol
@@Mrfish2015 haha, excellent
It’s a beautiful bike no doubt. But, I would like to see Honda do with that engine like they did with a 500 twin. And that is to make a scrambler with that engine old school.
It does appeal to me but does the low seat high mean you can't be as nozey
Hi.
What camera are you filming with buddy,also external mic?
👍
i dont have any issue, andi love manual, but my Rebel dct is a lot of fun, relaxing time. Inget to ride it just like my teen year bike. Drive it mostly on standard and just cruises perfectly, i ❤ love if, when itncorners like a sport bike. Break lever easy to udjust they come high.
I totally love the concept of this bike, it ticks all the right boxes for me from a rider point of view, but something just dosent look right with it to me and i can't put my finger on it, i'm just not sure i can ignore the wierd looks whilst i'm enjoying riding it. 🤔
I know exactly what you mean……. It’s a bit stumpy I think. If it was about 3 inches longer wheel base it could be perfect
I’d have to get the touring pack with it, no good without a windshield at motorway speeds and I like to go on adventures with luggage too so the side panniers would be good, do you know if a sisy bar would fit on it? These types of bikes can’t get back boxes
Don’t know sorry
I find it strange that in the UK people don't greet people because of the type of bike they ride.
I live in Belgium and ride a Harley, i greet everyone braving the road on 2 wheels, and most people here do.
The only ones i find that don't wave sometimes are GS riders, but that is probably because there are so many GS's out there comparatively.
Here in the States, everyone waves. Even the oldest, leather-faced, hardened Harley biker will wave at any other biker.
I'm a GS rider and wave to anyone on 2 wheels including Deliveroo guys on mopeds, traffic cops, scooters, any biker. I'd say only half nod/wave back. Maybe cos I'm riding a GS? Meh. ;)
"It's like a friendly hand grabbing your buttocks....Is there a friendly hand that can grab your buttocks?" That is an excellent question Mr. Fish. We all deserve such friends.
The bike needs forward controls. Honda doesn't sell them but there are plenty of aftermarket ones about.
Harley guys never wave at me, maybe cuz I'm on a Virago 250. Great starter bike but I have been wanting the Rebel 1100 manual for a while now and maybe in another 12 months 😥
V-Star
I have seen reports from the US that it is electronically limited to100mph ; do you know if the UK bikes are also limited?
It wouldn't stop me from buying one I just don't see the point.
Haven’t heard anything about a limiter here
In Australia we have pesky variable speed limits within a few hundred yards of differing speed limits with strategically placed speed cameras taking in the money. So cruise control is defeated on some long trips.
Possibly a replacement for HD Sportster now they aren’t available, but I doubt they will actually get any HD converts in reality.
I’ve come from a 48 sportster Mark, clutch was too heavy as I’ve started having tendon issues in my fingers and wrist, left hand. I agree it’s similar to a sportster, more refined and more power, it’s genuinely surprised me how good it is.
how cool is that... and then the DAB... LOL
QuasiMotard in the US has one of these & a SuperCub (amongst lots of others…) He’s doing a lot of mods on his too. Not my cup of tea I have to say… You sound as though you like it though Mr Fish 🤔
I watch his stuff on the tubes , nice fella
Bruce oops, sorry John just kidding.. serious question does the rebel stop quicker than a London loco ? Stuart
All bikes do lol
Is it true they're governed at 100mph? If so, why, and can that be undone? Looks like an awesome bike. You do great reviews...better than a brochure imho
I think it’s only governed in certain modes such as cruise, when your in sports mode it’s all off so you can enjoy the full day when getting to a quiet motorway section you’ll get full use of the 1100cc’s.
I'm not into cruisers, but I do like the motor and suspension ! Any chance Honda will make a Standard version of this bike ? Thank You for the review !
They do make a manual as well. But everyone only reviews the DCT.
If you mean like a naked street version , I’m with you , that would be cool
Make it look like an old-school scrambler with maybe a one shock swingarm
Hi nice channel , there is a difference in hp between this and the Africa twin is it possible to get more out of this and if can the clutch system bare it . Im sorry for bad English im from Denmark . Have a nice day and be SAFE. Ivan
I believe it’s tuned differently for more low down pull and has less horse power than the twin
What was that music on the walk around
I like the style but the engine area looks messy and complicated compared to the Rebel 500.
The more I read about and watch about the Rebel 1100, the more I think the Rebel 500 is well adequate with twin cylinders as well.
I own a rebel 500 and it's very capable. Especially for just a 500cc engine. Tons to fun to ride too. I am upgrading to the 1100 though :)
@@Foodgeek Personally, I would save the money and stick to your reliable Rebel 500.
You are new to me but you look and sound good fella Just as it should be "CUT OUT THE BULLSHIT " and just say it as it is looking at one of these so very very interested in any ones opinion Ride safe Ride wise and live much longer !!
If the gear shifter was in the normal spot it would great.
Is the bike limited to 100mph in UK as it is in the US?
Don’t think so
Vance and Hines makes a great slip on exhaust that sounds amazing I'd also add a radiator screen & crash bars as well as a sissy bar for passengers & upgraded pegs
My better half picked hers up from Doble a month ago, she's loving it. I've had a squirt on it and it's fun - but tiny for a full sized bloke in all honesty. DCT full manual mode is the only way to ride it............. oh, and it appears not have the 100mph limiter that the US bikes seem to have
This seems like a bike for me, decently priced as well. Need to get a bike license...
Round dash... hmmm, Yamaha XSR900 and then more recently the Triumph Trident 660?

Thanks a lot for this comprehensive review. The first Brit review I've seen and I can't wait to get my buttocks cupped. All the best.
Lol thanks
