The Honda Rebel goes into traveling mode with the new 2023 Honda Rebel 1100T DCT. Featuring a fairing and bags, the 1100T (guess what “T” stands for) is a bagger-style motorcycle with less displacement, less weight, and less cost than the full-sized competition. Let’s see what Honda did to the Rebel 1100 DCT to make it a bagger.
The first thing you’ll notice is the fork-mounted fairing. The fairing is there to protect you from the wind and elements. Honda hasn’t cluttered it up with a large dash, sound system, or other distractions. It’s a fairing with a low-rise windscreen, and that’s it. A round 4.7-inch LCD screen gets the job done, though it is offset for that rakish look.
The saddlebags make it a bagger. The hard color-matched bags carry a modest 35 liters and are lockable.
The new Honda bagger is only available with DCT. If you want a manual clutch, you’ll have to go with the standard Rebel 1100 cruiser.
Spoiler alert: It’s a good one, and we suspect it will adapt well to local touring duty. We will be testing it ASAP!
The standard Rebel 1100 and the auto-transmission Rebel 1100 DCT return this year unchanged.
The 2023 Honda Rebel 1100T DCT has a price tag of $11,299. It’s not easy to get into the bagger genre for less. It can be had in Bordeaux Red Metallic and Metallic Black, with matching bags and fairing in either color.
