Honda NT1100 2022

The NT1100 has the potential to be a big hit in the travel segment. Honda has done its homework brilliantly in many areas. The final consistency on the subject of safety features prevents an even better rating of the tourer. Nevertheless, it is one of the best touring motorbikes I have ever ridden. A little courage for additional equipment variants and more colour could bring the NT 2023 right to the front.

Extensive standard equipment

perfect wind and weather protection

great engine

suitable for long distances

comfortable

Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration

suspension set-up coherent

No IMU

dull colour variants

no option for e-chassis
