Honda Rebel 1100T MC Commute

What happens when you take Honda‘s wildly popular modern cruiser and give it a touring-focused makeover? You get the 2025 Honda Rebel 1100T—a motorcycle that confidently straddles the line between stripped-down style and practical long-haul performance. The “T” stands for Touring, and this version of the Rebel brings a new level of functionality to Honda’s already accessible and fun-loving platform. With its integrated hard saddlebags, distinctive batwing-style fairing, and relaxed ergonomics, the Rebel 1100T evokes classic West Coast bagger vibes while offering the kind of usability that makes it an easy choice for commuting, urban riding, or weekend getaways. In this episode of MC Commute, we saddle up on this factory-built bagger and put it through the daily grind—navigating tight city streets, opening it up on the highway, and seeing just how well this new Rebel holds up as a do-it-all middleweight tourer.
