Everyone says you have to drop your bike at least once, but I never dropped my first bike in a whole year... And then I ran a red light by accident and got sent to the hospital lol

just bought one today, My first bike ever.

1:49 my name shows up. Time stamping this for the time Burch’s channel becomes even bigger. I can show this to people

I wish an after-market company would make a perfectly fitting LARGER gas tank for this bike. It really needs a 5+ gallon tank. Add some after-market shocks (plus some wind protection, a rear rack, and a dry duffle bag) and this could be the perfect light solo-touring machine (especially for smaller riders). The biggest hole in the industry is the lack of touring machines designed for smaller people. Most of the touring bikes are 650 to 1000 lbs.

I was was one of your first subscribers. I watched you from your Honda Rebel 300 to 500 to your 1100 Rebel. I have decided that I shall stick with the Honda Rebel 500. My reason. I don't like the electronic driving gizmos, the 1100 is also a twin, I don't have the need to drive above 120 kms = 75mph and happy to cruise at 80 kms = 50 mph here, in Thailand. Thank you for your information as an owner.

A thought about speed limiters: Many manufacturers use them and rarely because the bike 'sucks'. Often it is due to the contract they have with tire manufacturers for stock tires. A speed limiter prevents the rider from exceeding the speed rating on those factory tires. Some times a bike may be sold in a market where insurance rates go up with too much top speed. Lots of reasons. Just enjoy it and then flash the ecu when your warranty expires.

My local Honda shop gave me the opportunity to test ride the DCT automatic version of this bike. Other than the seating position a little awkward at first I kinda fell in love with it. As a long haul cruiser, the DCT makes sense, but if it was my only bike I would much prefer a traditional clutch and gearbox.

Greetings from the UK! My wife will have a serious look at this bike once we are out of lockdown. She's not the tallest and has a couple of long term orthopaedic issues (the result of years playing field hockey) and so will probably try the DCT version. Therefore your reviews are so helpful. Funnily enough, at the same time I am looking at a VFR 800...

Good bike especially for a new model. 100 mph top no problem for me. Will never go over 75 mostly 50 mph.I like it. Nice towns you’re riding through. Beginner or advanced bike is very subjective. I would ride the 1100 mostly in rain mode anyway or maybe standard sometimes on freeway. But I really like the cruise control and the electronics. Just hurry with the accessories. A video trip to California would be interesting in particular how you fitted it out your bike for travel.

You've got a great voice! I could listen to you talk about bikes all day.

Thanks for sharing 👍 I cry a little every time I see the VFR tip..my 91 had 181K when I sold it..still miss the gear drive singing

I didn’t realize how many people wave to eachother on bikes😂

I'm picking up my first next weekend. '97 Magna! I'm in Baltimore.

Treating myself to this bike for my birthday, and Burch made me do it,lol . Great channel 👍.

I thought the Rebel existed only in 300 or 500 CCs. I am amazed to learn that they offer it in 1100 CCs. Cool bike by the way.

Rode for years. Last bike was a Yamaha FJR1300. Had to sell it due to joint pain in my fingers. Been thinking of picking up a Bolt and then this beauty came out. The DCT is definitely intriguing for me. Looking forward to whatever mods you decide on. You have a new sub sir.

I love your videos! Thank you for covering everything regarding this new model & the 500 vs 300!

Send everyone a taco from your favourite food truck when you hit 1 million subscribers, Burch.

thanks Burch...for your simple explanation...i kept watching your posts and when i finally got my 2021 rebel 500, which is the first time i'm riding a big bike (to me), you helped prepare me. Totally, loving riding the rebel 500. I've been one since i was in high school (40 yrs ago). Like i said totally loving riding it. I've already changed the oil, put the back seat on and planning to order the back rest (sissy bar). I just watched your post about the back rest. God bless ya and protect ya on all your rides. Keep up posting, it helps a lot of people I'm sure.

Had me a 250 kawasaki ninja, back in high school days (early 90'-92'), looking forward in purchasing the Honda Rebel 1100...thanks for sharing

Yes on the long ass journey. Literally what im getting this bike to do so wanna see how it fairs

Meet ups & ride round the block with randoms is fab idea, there was a guy here from the radio station who did that at coffee guru, would take 3-4 people round the block, they would then dive in a small cloth bag for prises, he had like a $200 iTunes card, and gold movie pass worth $80, but lots of stuff, but he had like 400 vouchers so it was a classic suspense. Give stickers away, go coffee shop hopping, the list is endless

Thanks, interesting video. I am just over a month into my Rebel 500. I had been off of two wheels for like 10 years so I was sure I wanted something small and manageable. I almost got the 300 and I'm glad I didn't because after like two days of riding the 500, I was ready to get the 1100! It really is like riding a bike. Realistically I think I was ready to ride an 1100 because my previous bike (Suzuki GSX-R crotch rocket) really taught me to respect the throttle. I spent the last 30 days realizing I can actually rip the throttle on these less powerful, cruisers. I think the biggest hurdle to the 1100 is that it crosses that price point into new class of bike. If I'm going to pay $10K+ for a bike, I feel like I should be looking at Harleys or something. It becomes a totally different shopping affair. I like that the Rebel 3/500 are kind of this toy entry point that you don't have to take too seriously but ends up being a lot of fun when you get it. Also, if you end up in Los Angeles, I will totally go on a Rebel ride with you.

love your content, i just bought a rebel 1100 t 2023 manual, been 4 years since my last bike, cant wait to ride it, you just provide all the info i was loking for! thanks, keep going mate!

You said the magic work honda rebel 1100 .. enough said we all want one :)

Coffee and tacos. That's the life. Now I wish you could of made this video before I bought my rebel 500 as my first bike. Guess I'll have to buy the 1100 in a few years.

Idk if you remember back in 2017 my brother wad hit in Annapolis and killed, its 2023 and I’m finally going to get my license and buy my first rebel come July. Love your vids brother ride safe

One standard thing to do on almost any Honda, is to put a +1Tooth sprocket on the front, and a -3T on the rear. It'll easily get you about 20MPH more top speed.

Old man just retired on the verge of buying the 1100. Living in Maryland near DC. Thanks for the info I’ll be looking forward to more videos. Need everything including Maryland riding destinations.

Really love all the videos Burch, as someone who bought their first Rebel 500 last year I've enjoyed watching your content and have found it extremely helpful. Not to be a total Debby Downer, but my biggest gripe thusfar about the Rebel 1100 has simply been my inability to get my hands on one! I understand supply chains have been suffering as of late and perhaps I should just practice more patience, but I've been looking to upgrade from my 2019 500 and the nearest options are over 100 miles away. I can't even find bike to test ride unfortunately, and now I'm looking at maybe moving to the 650 class of Nake Bikes (The Triumph Trident in particular) which have also caught my interest and seem to have actual inventory to check out. Anyway, here's to hoping Honda can get some more 1100's out to the public sooner rather than later, maybe I'm just living in the wrong area? If your Maryland to Cali ride does happen, you're welcome to crash here in central Indiana. Cheers and keep up the great work!

I'm stoked your loving the new bike mate! I was all set to replace my 500 with a manual 1100 In red, but after consuming some web content surrounding the new Rebel I don't think I will. Not because it doesn't look like an amazing bike but because Its just not exactly what I thought it would be. I expected it to be an evolution of the Rebel 500 in every aspect. But it shares many of the 500's negative traits, namely the suspension and fuel range. I think I'd be better served by a 650 class naked bike like Hondas own CB650R or the new Triumph Trident. Keep up the great content, even if I move away from the Rebel platform I will never move away from your channel!

Ride up to Nova Scotia, our coastal roads are perfect for scenic rides :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm still in the pre-moto class phase, as in I've never driven a motorcycle before. But these videos are a great way to learn about motorcycles that are good beginner fits. So far, the Honda Rebel 1100 is in my top 3. Of course the first step is take the class. haha.

115 miles on a full tank? That's a no go. Was really interested in this bike but gas range is important for me. I'll wait and see of Honda gives it a bigger tank in the future.

yes to the cross country trip and yes to the race!

Mmm riding with friends is fine with a small number, but I like that you are a lone wolf rider, freedom of the road means going solo. Nice clear narration, and review.

I finally got around to watching this video, and this makes me that much more excited about my purchase of this bike! Excellent video content, thanks! 🏍️💨👍🏾

"I only get about 115mi per tank." Man, I miss my Hondas and Kawis. The gas light comes on around 75 miles on my Sportster 1200 with the 3.3gal tank 🤣 And full support from me on the orange! Orange/purple are my favorite colors. Still loving your awesome videos and it's dope to see you so close to 10k!

I can’t believe it’s been a month already either I remember watching your vids cause u were one of the first to post with it. Keep it up

full power is available in all settings , it's just an earlier throttle response when in sport mode.

I considered buying this but after all the reviews including yours I decided to pass. I am still enjoying your videos and I will be watching. If you ever are in the L.A. area I am down to meet up. Enjoy the ride and stay safe!

Good for you getting the manual transmission and not the DCT

Congrats on your new subscribers buddy, you deserve it 🤟🤟

I'm from Anne Arundel county and just seeing the scenery of the ride is a good experience for me

The trick to popping Wheelies is letting the Air out of your Back tire PS Learning to ride wheelies is Ridiculous on a New motorcycle .... Love from Mississippi

Ive been riding motorcycles for about two and a half years now, I just purchased a rebel 300 which was such a step down for my other bike. but honestly I really enjoy it it's a fun little bike. I'd get an 1100 but I got my 300 for about 3900.

I wasn't sure should i change my 500 for 1100 as I'm still thinking 500 looks a little bit better than her bigger sister but after few of your videos - 1100 is on the way. Thank you

If you ever ride in Denver....just got an 1100 yesterday. Really enjoying it.

Both my sport bikes have a generous windscreen. I don't know how you can ride in the US without one. Roads always under construction, semis hauling dirt and concrete, huge tire 4x4s and construction trucks with debris on their tires all contribute to rocks and sand hitting my windscreen before they get to my body and helmet.

You should consider applying vinyl wrap that is metallic burnt orange. Then replace the black seat with tan seat both front and passenger version and add a sissy bar with built in folding luggage rack.

Great vids man, loving the recording set up, your voice comes in suuuper clear with minimal background noise 👌🏾

wow thanks for the tour. you rode around the same route i use to take when i rode around annapolis. have not been there in 5 years but this season i am planning on getting on the boat there and going to st. michaels island. take care.

Riding as a beginner on a bike with no computer Nannie’s has 100% made you a better rider than the average squid.

Hey Burch ! I am one of those new followers of this month, your content is really cool, you seem nice and you describe everything we wonder about the bike. It's great that you offer content about this Rebel 1100, in Europe we don't even have it yet, it is supposed to arrive in a few weeks ! Take care ! ✌️

Good video. I have a ride suggestion for you and that is a Iron Butt challenge do something like the bun burner 1000 which is a thousand miles in 24 hours or less.

Well, I like my old '04 1100 Spirit and I like the old school aesthetic better than the new Rebels. That said, I'm jealous for the ABS, Cruise Control, Fuel Injection, and ya get about 10 more MPG.

No orange, please! I get acid green or cobalt blue, but not orange. Great vid, by the way. You have convinced me that the Rebel 1100 is the one for me.

Looking for my new bike...this sounds like the bike for me. Thanks for the review.

Glad to see you got to keep the Rebel 500!!!

Thanks for sharing…damaged in shipping? Never accept and refuse! Also, better to not squeeze around cars at Stop signs. Respectful of others on the road…bad perceptions develop for inconsistency of road rules. Keep making videos!!!

Can't wait for a meet up! Maybe the Sporty 1200, your Rebel and a Buell race? I'll bring my GoPro for that. Keep up the good work.

From the vibration in your voice it sounds like the suspension is pretty hard.

I think the 500 with aftermarket shocks would be the sweet spot. The valves are also much easer to adjust. The Africa Twin motor needs the cams to come out for the intake valves. On the 500 you can simply remove the rocker arms.

Rise up coffee, someones close to the eastern shore. Ocmd here!

I literally just bought a 2021 rebel 500. It’s pretty great, but this makes me wanna sell it and fork the money over for this. I’m sure my 500 can ride the way I want. But I’m already feeling like I need an upgrade 😂😂

Thank you so much for this and your other posts. I will keep my rebel 300 for all my city and 30 mile short highway trips. For cruising and I'm pounding my chest, I have a 2007 shadow 750 aero that I'll drive anywhere . . .

I have a VTX1300 and this bike is tempting me. I just don't want it to be underwhelming. I am so tired of being carbed though lol

Coffee and tacos. Love it.

Like ur videos a lot. Would have loved coffee and tacos on a ride, but am a bit far away.

I’m from Maryland and I do plan on getting a Rebel 1100 in 2022 and I’m down for a meet up! ✊🏾

Maryland to Cali n back, yes!

Thanks for the info on the Burly accessories! Looking forward to those.

just purchased a 1100 with the red color tho, modified the seat to be thicker and added an ass shelf, and i gotta say that stock suspension isn't too bad after that. But i'd probably raise it too before next summer.

Orange is your favorite color? Nice to meet another man of culture

Great video and you definitely talked me into purchasing a Harley.

Good acceleration. Great exhaust note. The paint wearing off is dreadful. Is the 100 mph limit just something the American market bikes have? Good to hear it handles so well. I'd suggest something really cheap for a first bike. Maybe a 250 cc trailie as it doesn't matter if you drop it. I am considering a 1100 DCT, but the only modification I'll bother with is a sissy bar as they are great for strapping luggage to. Yep, I'll watch any videos you do on the road. Good video with some nice scenery. What is the town's name by the water?

I’ll be following your channel closely. I just put in my deposit for a DCT model of the 1100. My delivery is set for mid-January. I’ve got a Street 750 HD right now and even with some tweaking, the rear suspension isn’t that great. I thought getting the Honda might be better. I’ll be waiting on your review when you start dialing down the rear suspension. More power to you and keep the vids coming. From California, keep riding and be safe.

First time watching you. Subscribed! Great voice. 💯

Keep hearing it is fine for a beginner but yet to see a video of any beginners on an 1100...so I’ll let you guys know in about a month 😂 “Should be safe in rain mode” [crashing sounds]

Great video, first time watching. Subscribed and can’t wait to see what you do with this thing

Looking forward the build :)

Thanks for the video. I really wish I could find a manual one. The only ones I’ve seen are the DCT models. I look forward to more videos from you.

The 1100 would make a great standard now that we don't have the Super Hawk anymore.

You've done a great job! Greetings from Romania!

Great review and bike. I'll have to check out the coffee place next time i'm down in Annapolis! Baltimore County native here. It's great to see another Marylander!

Coffee and tacos! Rockford style

Coffee at rise up??? I thought this was only in MD is that where you are?!?! Me too 😂

Shouldn't take long for companies like Dynajet to Crack the code on the ECM and remove that speed limiter. But 100mph is plenty fast.

finds random channel hears rise up immediately recognizes the location!!!!!

Those Tacos look amazing

Also I’ve hear that for the 6.2 riders, have problems with their knees while riding for longer and that the bike is for shorter riders

Nicevideos! def plan a meet up, I'm in! I'm just a little over in Delaware. Looking forward to more vids!

Yet still a reliable bike for a long distance ride

Really glad I found your channel while you have such a small following at the moment. Im sure you will get to 100 thou subs in no time! Love the manual Motorcycle btw!

Love a good honest review. Thank you.

Currently riding a 2007 Boulevard S50. I think I may buy this bike next spring.

Check air pressure in tire, my rebel 1100 had 40 in rear and 38 in front, bike says 33 front and rear, much better know.

You should plan a ride out here to OCMD. We've got Rise Up and plenty of great tacos!

Dont paint the bike orange! Lol. Maybe a little orange accents on engine or frame would be nice.

Beautiful view on your favorite road!
