Honda has recently unveiled the new 2025 version of the NT1100, set to continue the success of this model in the touring motorcycle segment. Originally launched in 2022, the NT1100 quickly became a favorite among European riders, leading sales in the Touring category in 2023. Its popularity is due to the balanced combination of performance, comfort, and modern technology, making it ideal for both long-distance journeys and daily commutes.
Aesthetic Updates and Aerodynamic Improvements
For 2025, the NT1100 received a significant design update, now featuring a sleeker silhouette and improved aerodynamics. The new dual headlights incorporate exclusive daytime running lights (DRL) with subtly integrated indicators, creating a more sophisticated lighting signature. These aesthetic improvements also enhance road visibility, a crucial factor for rider safety.
The riding position, renowned for its comfort during long-distance trips, remains one of the key features of this model, ensuring a comfortable experience, even with a passenger and extra luggage.
Responding to Customer Preferences
Honda has shown responsiveness to customer feedback by introducing improvements to the NT1100, addressing some of the critiques pointed at the original version. One of the key additions is the new Electronic Suspension variant. This version, equipped with Showa-EERA semi-active suspension, offers more dynamic and personalized adjustments, better adapting to road conditions and riding style.
Despite the enhancements, the NT1100 remains an accessible choice in the touring motorcycle segment, offering an excellent price-to-performance ratio along with many useful features.
