The CB1100 Community Forum

thoughts on the new Rebel 1100? Looks like they're putting the africa twin motor in the same frame as the 500 and 300. Tuned it down to 86 HP. Love them breaking the mold and not just trying to make a knockoff Harley like other companies. Also offering touring package and windscreen. GO HONDA

Looks like 4 riders modes and traction control all for 9k??

I really like this CMX1100. It is a tidy and confident Honda build with a lot of spice carried over from the Africa Twin mill. Too bad it is too low for me.

That is what I think the issue will be for me also, im 6'0 220. It looks a little small frame wise.

I'd like to see one in person. The Rebel 300 and 500 didn't blip my needle, but the bigger bike might.
Not sure why, but I'm starting to be interested in cruisers. Most particularly the Triumph Speedmaster.

Cruiser just seems to be more of what I do, but i like the performance side. The Victory Octane had all the power I wanted in a cruiser but it was just to low for me at my height. Loved cracking the throttle on it though.

High reving cruiser is where its at. Comfort of a cruiser, fun of a CB

Only two things I like about this bike: Honda name and its engine...

I believe the africa twin puts out a little over 100hp though. Wonder why the same engine is putting out 86 on the Rebel. Emissions?

Moving the power to the bottom end instead of the top end had the side effect of dropping peak HP, I assume.

Apparently they did different cams in each side to accommodate power above and below 4k RPMs? Was it like that in the African also
