Honda NT1100 2025: Upgraded Performance, Comfort & Tech

In a market dominated by adventure bikes, the Honda NT1100 offers a fresh alternative for riders seeking performance, handling, and long-range comfort without the bulk of an adventure motorcycle. Launched in 2022, it quickly became Europe’s best-selling sports tourer by 2023. For 2025 (25YM), it receives major upgrades, including enhanced engine performance, improved practicality, and the introduction of Electronic Suspension (Showa-EERA™).

Model Overview

The NT1100 is built for versatility — equally capable on weekday commutes and long-distance tours. Its 1,084cc parallel-twin engine, shared with the CRF1100L Africa Twin, delivers a 7% boost in low- and mid-range torque, with no loss of peak power. The addition of a six-axis IMU now controls:

• Cornering ABS & Rear Lift Control

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with Wheelie Control

• Three riding modes — URBAN, RAIN, TOUR — plus two custom USER modes

For 2025, the NT1100 also introduces Showa-EERA™ Electronic Suspension, offering optimized damping for all riding conditions and adjustable rear spring preload on the move.
