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!

This is probably the BEST review I have ever seen of a motorbike - Thankyou!

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??

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.

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!🤟🏻🇮🇹🇺🇲

Great video Gus, thank you for all the great content you've given us this past year.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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!

Wow. What a thorough, well laid out review. Thank you for putting this together!

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.

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!!!

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!

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!

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 🙏 👍

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.

I've started looking at this bike, and your review was very educational and helpful. Thank you!

great review and straight talk as always, well done brother and thanks!

Thank you for your comprehensive overview, really appreciate your depth of knowledge.

Dude, you are gold! thanks for sharing your experience and tips, very very useful indeed.

Awesome review mate, incredibly complete! Keep the good content.

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!

A very thorough video, the best I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing Sir!

thanks for the great video, really helped me understand the DCT better. Also the problems section was amazing, Thanks so much!

I’m definitely thankful that you made this video. I love the ideas and information you’ve given me.

Great video ! Looking forward to your valve adjustment video .

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.

Gus, great as always! Excellent value video!

great video, very informative ,love what you've done to your bike, thanks for taking the time to share this

Another outstanding review ! Thanks Gustavo 🙏

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.

Great long-term review, thanks for posting!!

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

Wow! What a comprehensive review. Great job. 👍

This is the best review I have seen. Thanks happy trails and be careful.

Great in-depth review. Good job!

I wish every bike review was like this. Great job!

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your updates and experiences.

Perfect review from start to finish well done my friend , subbed and liked .

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.

Love this video. Awesome work!

I will keep you updated 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.

What an amazing review! Great job man!

Amazing job sir !

Excellent job. Thank you for all your time doing this video.

Fantastic Breakdown. It would be great if more reviews were like this.

Awesome review!! Thank you for putting so much effort to share your experience! Great job!!👏

This was one of the best reviews. Thank you.

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 KZfaq

Great detailed and informative video, Thank you :)

Incredible video, well done and we thank you.

Great video! A lot of help for new Rebel 1100 DCT owner as myself!

Great Review Well covering things .. Not had any issues yet but gives me an idea what to watch for .. A+++

Very thorough review, great work my friend.

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.

*FANTASTIC* VDO 👌 Happy New Year🥂🎉 to you and your beloved family, mate

Very good review, thanks much.

Here's a little story for you: About 30+ years ago, I used to go to biker club pig roasts riding my rice. They had a thing they called a "Honda drop". They would throw a Honda off of the roof of a building to try to F it up. Then they would start it and it ran just fine. Then they would get pissed off and drain the oil out of it and start it up again and wind out the throttle and couldn't blow it up. They finally took sledge hammers to it to destroy the motor. That is why I say, "it's a honda, change the oil, put gas in it and ride". However, flat tires are not avoidable. My Rebel looks new and my Valkyrie looks like WWII vintage, however I'll smoke any Hog under 114cui.

Thanks for this review. Actually indecisive about the H-D Nightster and the rebel 1100t DCT.

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.

Great video! Very helpful.

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.

great video very informative,maybe getting one soon learnt alot,think i will subscribe to your channel

Best review of a bike I have ever seen -great job!,

Really excellent review. Well done.

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.

As always, great detailed and explained video. I just hit 4K miles on my 2022 Rebel1100 and your videos always give me more usable knowledge. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your practical sharing !

Great info. The best. Thanks a lot.

Awesome review thanks

Thank you. I plan on buying this bike soon!!!

New subs here..❤ love the effort and details for honest review ❤❤

Fabulous, thorough review.

Great video, Very informative…Nice job

Great review Merry Christmas 🎄

I can’t say enough about how amazing this review is 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

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.

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.

Very Good review🎉

Nice video. Was looking at a Rebel 1100 and saw this. 👍

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!!

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.

Thank you for including common issues. That’s very helpful!

great info! didnt waste my time watching! learned something! well done sir!!!

Great overview. Thank you.

Nice review! You're really racking up the miles on the Rebel! 👏😉👍 --QM

This is very helpful. Thank you.

A perfect review. Bravo.

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!

This has to be the best rebel 1100 review on KZfaq. 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!

Great video man!

Im in love with this bike, youre doing a bang up job with your videos. You got a fan here buddy. From Kentucky 👍

Great review.

Great video. I have the manual rather than the DCT variant and some mods, including a cheap small screen, engine guards with cylindrical steel footpegs, none OEM saddle bags, bar end mirrors, hand guards, re-upholstered seats with extra padding by a local firm that my Honda dealer recommended themselves, but the best mod you can possibly do is get rid of those god awful Dunlop tyres. They are absolutely shocking. After around 2k miles, I had so much vibration on mine that I came very close to selling the bike. I had no idea what was causing it. Tried removing the screen and changing the pre-load thinking it was maybe a variation of the wobble problem (not that I've had that myself). Rear tyre was close to being worn after 6k miles and thankfully no OEM tyres anywhere to be found, so went with the Avon Cobras, but the Metz that you have were a very close 2nd. It's a completely different bike now. No vibration, better grip, especially in the wet and on poor road surfaces, they perform so much better than the Dunlops. I'll never use those again. Happy New Year from the UK.

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.

Very awesome video liked everything on it very informative.

This was great. Thx buddy

I just bought it and dude, you channel is a gold mine.
