Timeless Updates For NT1100
Introduced for 2022 model year , the NT1100 offers a timeless combination of desirable performance , engaging handling and long-range comfort , with a raft of the latest technologies and a sleek take on classical tourer style . This combination has proved immensely popular , gaining the NT1100 the number one spot in the touring category in 2023 .
For 25YM , the NT1100 ’ s styling has been updated and refined to deliver both a sharper silhouette and efficient aerodynamic performance around a riding position that remains tailored for touring . The aesthetic changes are crowned by dual headlights that feature unique new Daytime Running Lights complete with subtly integrated indicators for a supremely sophisticated frontal signature - and improved visibility .
All-round performance receives a substantial boost thanks to changes to the 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine . The new tuning – via intake , combustion and exhaust revisions – produces 7 % more low- and midrange torque , while keeping peak power . The engine ’ s efficiency allows a 400km range from the 20L fuel tank . True to its ‘ New Touring ’ brief , both comfort and practicality are boosted for 2025 . Reprofiled upper and lower wind deflectors work in unison for even better weather protection ; a revised , longer front mudguard contributes to the same cause . The adjustable screen can now be operated one-handed by the rider from a seated position , whilst the larger , redesigned seat offers increased support comfort for the long haul . The standard-fit panniers have also been redesigned , increasing in volume to hold a full-face helmet each .
Operation of the electronic rider aids is now improved by the inclusion of a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit ( IMU ) for more precise control not only of the threelevel Honda Selectable Torque Control but also threelevel Wheelie Control , Cornering ABS , and Rear Lift Control . It ’ s also involved in riding mode management , of which there are three defaults : ‘ Urban ’, ‘ Rain ’, and ‘ Tour ’. Individual customisation of all parameters is also possible in ‘ User ’ mode .
Further elevation of the touring experience is provided by the new option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment ( Showa-EERA™ ) suspension . Offered alongside the standard Showa suspension version , the advanced Showa-EERA™ offers real-time optimisation of damping in all riding conditions , as well as the ability to adjust rear spring preload on the move .
A final touch for improved comfort comes in the shape of revisions to Honda ’ s proven six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission ( DCT ), which has been redeveloped to improve low-speed feel and is now linked to the IMU for intuitive gear shifting while cornering .
The full range of equipment is as impressive as ever : a full colour 6.5-inch TFT touch screen provides customisable displays and offers Apple CarPlay ® and Android Auto ® smartphone connectivity ; cruise control , upgraded heated grips , ACC and USB charging sockets , self-cancelling indicators , Emergency Stop Signals ( ESS ) and a centre stand are all also standard fit .
The 25YM NT1100 and NT1100 Electronic Suspension will be available in the following three new colour options :
• Mat Warm Ash Metallic
• Gunmetal Black Metallic
• Pearl Hawkseye Blue
