Honda’s Rebel CMX1100T

The affordable cruiser gets the bagger treatment!

The Japanese factory has revealed a new touring-ready model of its CMX1100 Rebel.

It might look as though the new CMX1100T is largely unchanged from the ‘standard’ bike, with the same chassis and Africa Twin-derived 1084cc parallel twin engine which kicks out a respectable but not earth-shattering 85.3bhp. Braking is looked after by a radial-mounted monoblock four-piston brake calliper and 330mm floating single disc up front and a twin single piston calliper and 256mm single disc at the rear, while suspension comes in the form of preload adjustable 43mm cartridge-style forks at the front and a preload adjustable twin piggyback shock at the rear. But the big news is the addition of its new Harley-Davidson style half fairing (and accompanying flyscreen), and its set of hard panniers which offer 35 litres of storage capacity. Those extras do add a bit of weight to the bike, with the Tourer tipping the scales at 238kg in its standard guise, and then jumping to 248kg for the DCT version.

There’s still no official pricing for the CMX1100T, but it shouldn’t be much more expensive than the non-touring model which cost between £10,500 and £11000.
