You CAN shift it, just like most cars these days with automatic or CVT transmissions. Instead of paddle shifters there are handy buttons on the left. There’s nothing “clunky” about it. I’ve ridden motorcycles for 40 years and the shifting is amazingly smooth on the Rebel 1100 DCT.
Was thinking of getting a Ninja 400 for months, but these past couple weeks, I've been looking at cruisers and it honestly fits my purposes a lot better. It's great for commutes, it seems like its not to difficult to handle, and this one in particular doesn't even require to use a clutch or manually shift. Over time, ive grown to like the Rebel 1100 DCT more and more. Might just go to the dealership soon and just buy one. It's my first time ever buying a bike, or riding for that matter, so I want something comfortable and I can see myself using often. I think this might be the bike. It's a little over $10k and its perfect.
My 23' 1100 doesn't have that jitteriness your getting when I'm riding mine, how ever the DCT is a bit jumpy until you set it up in the user mode, also note this is my 1st actual motorcycle and so far its been a blast to ride, I daily it to an from work now, saves me so much on gas lol.
Great idea for people who want a more relaxing ride or have health issues like bad left hand or left foot.The Nikken bike the one with 2wheels at front has unbelievable handling around corners & is great for those who want something more stable or have a bad leg,hip etc keeps them on a bike & is cheaper than a Trike & is more sporty than a trike.If you can get past the looks it's a exceptionally great handling bike into the corners & you don't notice the look sitting on it & is great for touring.Trident🔱 with Quick Shifter is amazing.As we age some people get arthritis etc so a bike like this is away to keep riding.
You must have confused the option between Drive and Neutral with the Automatic and Manual options. In Neutral it doesn't move even if you accelerate. In Drive, whether Automatic or Manual, it will move if you accelerate.
@@forgottenmotorcycles I dont thint that this will be seen soon ... Its interesting that you can turn any Harley to automatic with Rekluse Clutch ... make a review someday 💥
@@davew8694 The DTC is heavy (adds about 10 kg) and expensive, only used on 750 or more. Honda should launch the e-clutch that will automate the clutch, but you will need to change gears with your foot. This cheaper and lighter one (less than 2 kg) should come out in the 650 and probably later in other smaller ones.
@@wallacemjrhonda already announce cbr650 and cb650r but the price is still higher, why automatic have to be expensive, because its new and not too much choice in market, scooter not interested
I went to a local dealership to look at a lightly used Honda Rebel. I really wanted to like the Rebel as I had an old one many years ago that I really loved. But, I just was not comfortable with the new Rebel's seating position. I ended up buying a new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 from the same dealership and have not looked back!
hey i'm late to this video but i'm a disabled veteran who has lost most feeling in my left foot, will this bike be easy for me to ride, i used to ride back in the day before my accident, i see DCT and don't know what that means exactly, do i just turn on the bike and switch it into D and go?
@@forgottenmotorcyclessame question, I can't use my left arm and my left leg. Would this be like an automatic car? I still don't know what DCT is, I watched many videos but no one is showing how it works.
@@edenk3653DCT stands for dual-clutch transmission. It acts much like a manual transmission, except that there are two clutches. Gears 1, 3, and 5 are connected to one clutch and gears 2, 4, and 6 are connected to the second clutch. A computer controls all clutching and gear shifting. In a standard manual transmission, when you’re ready to shift, you disengage the clutch, shift gears, then reengage the clutch. In DCT, the computer predicts what you will do. For instance, if you’re in second gear and accelerating, the even-gear clutch will be engaged and the odd-gear clutch will be disengaged. The computer will put the odd gear set into 3rd gear. When it’s time to shift from 2nd to 3rd, the computer will disengage the even-gear clutch while simultaneously engaging the odd-gear clutch, making for a smooth shift. If you keep accelerating, it will put the even gear set (now disengaged) into 4th gear to get it ready to shift to that.
So I have a Harley, Classic 500 and now one of these in the garage. It’s very interesting bike, I was kind of lost without the clutch but after a day of city and some highway riding I was all set. Weirdly all the tech Honda put in this bike, but no self cancelling turn single. I’ll be doing a bunch of reviews.
Had a rebel 110 DCT - BEWARE I owned a rebel 1100 DCT for a couple of months and had a major, major problem. I had my bike service at 450 miles. On my ride home I noticed that the bike DCT transmission was engaging while I was stopped. I ignored the issue hoping that it was an one off. After riding the bike for ~200 miles the DCT transmission engaged again while I was stopped and the bike transmission/power over rode the braking system (Front and Back brakes) and took off. I tried with all of my energy to stop the bike but it wouldn't hold. I ended up crashing into a wall, broke a couple of ribs and my collar bone. I do not know if this has happened to anyone else? There is no clutch to override so BEWARE and practice hitting the kill switch!
Sorry that you dont believe it, but it happened. If I knew you, I would show you the Hospital bills and let you talk to the witnesses@@knucklezvallero9065
@@knucklezvallero9065 Yeah...bunch of BS. Unless you were throttling up (panicked)....the engine would have killed because you obviously would have applied both front and rear brake. Weirdo...

Whether anyone likes it or not, manual transmissions are becoming a thing of the past.

The Ninjas really are very much like a cruiser that looks like a sportbike. My Ninja 650 is a real pleasure to ride.
Go look at insurance rates on sport bikes buddy.

Playing with the shifter paddles is great fun too :) I love mine !
The best!
At some point in the near future Automatic Motorcycles will be the Norm.
I'm sure of it 🙂
As a new rider I was scared about the gears and stuff. But after watching all reviews I’m going to get 1100 dct
It's an interesting bike. I did like it.
Nice video! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Im here for a "Wahoo"🎉🥳
A Double Wahoo for you too!
Its the shame that they didnt put DCT into Rebel 500 and 300
I would like to see that. Maybe that's coming?

I like this review because: not ruined by music, can hear the bike, gives good info like rpms/speed, vibration, feel, etc.
Glad you liked it!
Most riders have to adjust the shocks on the rebel & you may like the sport mode opposed to standard on the automatic shift / dct
It really was interesting motorcycle.
If I could ride 2 wheels I’d like to test ride one.
😎👍

I have one of these in Iowa
Nice! What part of Iowa?
Wahoo!
Double Wahoo 😁
How many mph???
Speed limited to 100 mph I think
What’s the top speed
Didn't test that. Wahoo!
i got one and juat shift it manual and all works better as am faster
It's an interesting motorcycle. Wahoo!
Parking break appears to be on
Oh boy, she ran great...lol!
Yea he’s going to have to reset it. Super easy to do, five minute job.
What's a parking break. It's brake
Where are the breaks at
Wahoo!
The brakes on the right side. Front by the handle bar and back by the right foot
Why the hell does Honda do their dashes like that. I’d like to hear their explanation for making it impossible to read in the sun
Good question
yeah clutch saved my ass yesterday.
Wahoo!
Good for me i have a stuffed left hand
Great bike!
There is definitely an upshift trigger for manual mode, not just the downshift button…
You are right, on the front of the left hand cluster. Thanks!
