The 2023 Rebel 1100 in Iridium Gray Metallic. This is the six-speed manual version. Tweaked and modified to suit the cruiser vibe, the Rebel’s engine has unique engine mapping, a 20 percent larger flywheel for increased inertia, and revised camshaft profiles that give what Honda calls “power pulses,” as though to further mimic the feel of a V-twin.

Verdict

The Honda Rebel 1100 and Rebel 1100 DCT are the next generation of Japanese cruisers. Veering from archetypal cruiser styling cues and adopting modern rider aids, the Rebel 1100′s appeal extends beyond the stereotypical cruiser demographic, delivering an easy-to-ride, fun-loving vibe that lots of riders can get behind. Cornering clearance and lots of power make this a bike that’s fun to ride on more than just around-town jaunts.

Overview

The Honda Rebel 1100 and Rebel 1100 DCT are modern metric cruisers. For decades, many of the Big Four’s cruiser offerings were chromed-out imitations of America’s highest-selling motorcycles. Often, they were reliable, finely engineered machines catering to a certain segment of the market that didn’t care—or at least claimed they didn’t care—what badge was on the tank. For many of today’s consumers, however, perceived authenticity is a firmly held value, and a “Harley clone,” no matter how well made, is anything but authentic.

Rather than imitate some other brand’s schtick, Honda endowed the Rebel 1100 with its own identity, right down to the parallel-twin engine derived from the company’s Africa Twin adventure bike.

While the 59.8-inch wheelbase, 28-degree-raked front-end, and mid-controls immediately announce “cruiser,” Honda’s DNA shines through. As such, the Rebel 1100 has electronic rider aids, ABS, a sweet-handling chassis, and an available automatic dual-clutch transmission.

The pinnacle of the Rebel lineup, the 1100 is a landing point for scores of riders who have cut their teeth on the Rebel 300 and Rebel 500. A low, 27.5-inch seat-height, adjustable power delivery, and the aforementioned optional automatic transmission mean the leap from 500 to 1100 isn’t too great. At the same time, more experienced riders will have plenty to enjoy with 81 hp and 68 lb.-ft. of torque delivered to the rear wheel.

The Rebel is still an affordable alternative to a Harley or Indian, but the keyword here is alternative. It offers its own unique take on what a cruiser can be. For some, that makes it authentically, proudly subversive. To others, it’s just a good motorcycle at a good price.

Updates for 2023

The Rebel 1100 went unchanged for 2023, though Honda has included new color options: Iridium Gray Metallic or Green Metallic.

Pricing and Variants

The 2023 Honda Rebel 1100 is available for $9,499. The Rebel 1100 DCT is available in the same colors, but features Honda’s automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) that brings the MSRP to $10,099.

Competition

The Rebel 1100 competes with the Harley-Davidson Nightster ($13,499) and the Indian Scout Rogue ($12,749). The Harley-Davidson and Indian both have modern V-twin engines and more true-to-type—though still forward-looking—cruiser styling. The Rebel’s parallel-twin engine and trellis frame help the Rebel step out of the shadow of Harley and Indian, allowing it to wear its Honda wing badge with pride. The Rebel is the only option available with an automatic transmission. Even though it costs $600 more than the base model, the DCT-equipped Rebel is still less expensive than the competition.

BEYOND THE STRIP: Discover the Cultural Gems of Las Vegas

BEYOND THE STRIP: Discover the Cultural Gems of Las Vegas

Written by Barbara Toombs

Fremont Street in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.

Millions of visitors are understandably attracted to the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas’ renowned Strip each year, where world-class resorts, casinos, shows and incredible dining options are the name of the game.

What many don’t realize is that there’s another fascinating side to the Entertainment Capital of the World, headlined by two cultural districts known simply as Downtown and Chinatown.

Downtown Las Vegas (also known as DTLV) is really where this unique desert city got its start. In 1931, construction began on what is now known as the Hoover Dam, attracting thousands of workers to a site just east of the city. To capitalize on this growing workforce, savvy businessmen began building casinos and showgirl venues along Las Vegas’ only paved road at the time: Fremont Street.

Today, DTLV is comprised of three distinct districts. Many visitors to the city are already familiar with one of them: the Fremont Street Casino District, which contains museums, restaurants and bars, as well as the original Las Vegas casinos, including El Cortez, Golden Nugget and Golden Gate. Here you’ll also find the renowned Fremont Street Experience, which debuted in 1995. This pedestrian-only thoroughfare is covered by a canopy of more than two million LED lights and a state-of-the-art sound system that comes to life every night for a spectacular sound and light show called “Viva Vision.”

The Arts District

A popular attraction in this district is The Mob Museum (the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement), which showcases intriguing tales and the age-old dichotomy of good guys versus bad guys. Explore at your own pace, go on a guided tour or uncover museum surprises as part of a group scavenger hunt. Want a literal “taste” of old-school Las Vegas? Plan to dine at Top of Binion’s Steakhouse, perched on the 24th floor of Binion’s Gambling Hall. The restaurant dates back to 1965 when it was known as Top of the Mint, the signature dining spot at The Mint hotel tower. The interior design (and menu – think steak, prime rib, lobster and even Baked Alaska) is a throwback to an earlier era when the mob ran much of Las Vegas, but the real draw is the spectacular view through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows.

Built in 2002, the Fremont East Entertainment District (FEED) is a six-block area that stretches from Las Vegas Boulevard East to 8th Street and from Ogden Street South to Carson. FEED is pedestrian-friendly, offering diverse street life and many eateries, cafes, bars and lounges, as well as ample shopping opportunities and lively entertainment. A must-see attraction in this district is the Downtown Container Park – a dining, shopping and live music venue made of 45 colorful repurposed shipping containers, all fronted by a two-story, fire-breathing praying mantis who made its original debut at Burning Man. Nearby is the popular Bin 702 – one of many great dining choices in the area – featuring a great selection of beer and wine, as well as a tantalizing choice of charcuterie and cheese, sandwiches and small plates for sharing.

18b sign in The Arts District.

In recent years, The Arts District – or the 18b as it’s also known (a reference to it occupying 18 blocks of Downtown Las Vegas, loosely outlined by Commerce Street, Colorado Ave, Fourth Street and Hoover Avenue) – has been growing in popularity. Its monthly “First Friday” block party and art walk features food trucks and live music, serving as a backdrop for artists showing their works off at a variety of open-air and indoor galleries. These include The Arts Factory, home to over 30 artists and art galleries, and ArtSquare, a hip establishment that houses design stores, designer’s studios, wellness spots, and food and drink outlets. Behind The Arts Factory sits one of many great dining choices in The Arts District: Taverna Costera, serving up delicious Coastal Mediterranean fusion that draws inspiration from coastal Spanish, French, Italian and Greek cuisines and beyond.

Just a couple of miles east of the Strip, along Spring Mountain Road (roughly between Rainbow Boulevard and Interstate 15), lies the city’s amazing Chinatown, which has grown in leaps and bounds over the past two decades. Here you’ll find the largest collection of Asian businesses in Southern Nevada, including a multitude of authentic Asian restaurants, gift shops, a hair stylist, a reflexologist, home decor, an Asian supermarket and the only Chinese bookstore in Nevada.

At Chinatown’s heart is the enormous and ornate Chinatown Plaza, featuring a colorful, dragon-adorned, Tang Dynasty-inspired gate and gleaming
