Honda 1100 Cruiser reviews

It was a great first bike! Not too much power so you can learn how to control the bike. Smooth ride and reliable. The friction zone is forgiving and it’s easy to grab the gears. It is a very forgiving bike. Show less

this is the perfect size for a cruise in the mountains or a ride up the coast. Good gas milage (about 55mpg depending on the rider) . Easily rides two comfortably. Great bike all around... for beginners, women, seasoned riders. I've been riding since 1967 and this is the BEST ALL AROUND bike I've owned. I love the body style, looking like older bikes and the custom paint is a head turner. Show less

The Honda Rebel 500 CMX500 has Superior handling and style. Low seat makes flat footing on roads a breeze. This is a great sporty engine that is fun to drive. Handles the curves and winding roads like a boss! Show less

Great motorcycle love shaft drive no chain to tighten or replace along with sprockets. No grease on bike wheels or you! Water cooled engines last longer do not overheat. Bike is low seat great shorter people, both feet flat on ground. Legendary Honda quality! Show less

This is a great motorcycle for anyone. It's not too heavy and easy to handle. Plenty of power and runs great. I just needed a bigger MC for long MC trips. I bought this last summer from Lexington and have ridden it 3000 miles . It was just serviced at the local Honda dealership and WV state inspected. No issues whatsoever. Show less

Classic 1985 Honda Rebel 250 cruiser with low mileage and near perfect body. Extremely well-kept bike with same owner for last 25 years and stored in-doors. Rides smooth and easy for a classic cruiser that is ideal for either new or experienced riders. Trickle charger included with bike just needs to be connected along with original manual and brand-new Yuasa Yuam327BS-YTXL maintenance free battery. Priced to sell/move in this summer warmth... well below blue book!! Show less

I bought my VTX1300 because, even though I loved rigding my Shadow, I always felt like it could use a little more oomph. The VTX has it. This is 74 hp, a little brother to the VTX1800, with a rumble and a roar. Let her loose on the freeway and watch for the smokies because you'll be having too much fun to read the speedometer. The only think to watch for is the upper pipe. It's wrapped over the transfer case housing, so you can burn yourself at the stoplight if your not careful when you put your foot down. Yes, you can buy a Harley instead. Or you can buy a head turner, and still have money leftover to buy dinner for your date. Because you'll get dates with a bike like this. Show less

This is a nice bike for a first cruiser. Rides smooth on the highway, handles well on the twisties. This is the bike I used for the advanced rider course, and it sailed through. It's quiet, so it won't piss off the neighbors when you warm it up (it's carbed.) It is reliable, no down time. Just hop on, push the starter button and go. Not a lot of gadgets to go wrong, but you do need to track mileage because their is no fuel gauge (there is a reserve tank with .7 gals to get you to the station.) No much more to say, it's just old school fun. Show less

Overall it's a great bike. The factory seat was absolute garbage, but once it was replaced with a better aftermarket seat, it was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Performance was fine; you never needed more power to feel safe getting on the freeway, but full power acceleration was not sporty by any means. It's a great cruiser and with so few of them around they always draw at least a few looks. Show less
