Honda started out with the Africa Twin powerplant ... the low-down grunt numbers and makes it pull with a will. The Rebel 1100 DCT produces 86 horsepower and 72 pound-feet of torque.

For the Rebel 1100, it is de-tuned ... while the rest drive the rear wheel via a belt, as a traditional cruiser does. Also worth noting is that ABS is present only on the Honda and the Indian.
