Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CMX1100 Rebel 2021

The Honda Rebel 1100 is a very fun, easy to ride, agile and powerful cruiser motorbike that will probably find many friends - whether rookie or old hand. My personal highlights are the ingenious engine, the electronic equipment and the low weight in combination with the low price compared to the competition. A successful Japanese cruiser!

Powerful engine

agile handling

extensive equipment

Response could be smoother

no typical cruiser exhaust roar

Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2021

The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride. The single-disc brake at the front works well and the fat 160 front tyre steers better than you would expect. Only the hard suspension makes the rider suffer on longer distances - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.

Powerful, refined engine

brakes very good for a single-disc system

full electronics package with cornering ABS and lean angle-dependent traction control

Chassis really hard

turn-in behaviour somewhat unwilling due to wide front tyre
