Bagger-style, a fast, strong and lighter cruiser perhaps – if Harley Davidson and BMW can make baggers, so can Honda.

This is located at MC Oslo and is for sale. First impressions are cool, so I’d love to go on a long trip with this one.

If you think the Harley Davidson Street Glide is big, but love the design and look, you have an opportunity to choose a full-fledged but lighter alternative right now. Honda has modified the standard CMX Rebel 1100 with a new fairing section and new bagger-style side bags.

The Rebel 1100 is a wonderful and rather hefty bike to ride, though much lighter than a
Harley Davidson. Rebel 1100 measures 1,084 cc, delivers 87 hp and as much as 98 Nm, the standard version with manual transmission weighs 226 kg, the model with DCT box weighs 10 kg more.

With a seat height of 710 mm, the model is accessible to virtually all drivers. In addition to being a gorgeous cruiser, the Regel 100 is a fairly hefty driving machine that is rather capricious. I think it’s cool, and I would love to go on a long trip with it.

Interested? Well, it’s in the reception at MC Oslo right now, so you can take a closer look.
