Rumors there will be a Honda Rebel 1000 based off the engine from the Africa Twin for 2019.

If they actually come out with it and its around 10k, it will be my second new honda lol.

lol, i think it will be alot more than 10k...i'll say 13,001 bob.

edit, i'm also interested in whether or not there would be a DCT model.

Hmm ... that's interesting ...

If it's over $10k who would buy ? The CB1000R would a lot more appealing

plenty of people are only shopping for a cruiser, and are not interested in the bigger, much heavier VTX series. the CB1000R is certainly better, but not if you're automatically turned off by anything that's not a cruiser. Also it's a very different engine with a very different performance profile compared to the inline 4 on the CB1000.

My wife, probably. She does not like the seating position on the CB1100, let alone the CB1000. I'd be a little concerned about the fuel capacity, but otherwise, this bike could be set up nicely for her to tour on. She has a CTX700 now and is looking at the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster as a replacement. She harasses the owner of our Honda dealership every time we're there about the fact that Honda does not have a bike that fits her ergonomic, displacement, and financial requirements.

At first glance I thought it was a redo of a 1984 Honda Magna V65. V-Twin vs. V-Four, I know...

Just saw this. Pretty cool. Lots of custom visual possibilities there, as well as a nice motor to play with.

I am happy to see motorcycles that look like motorcycles making a come back.
