Honda NT1100 DCT 2023

Honda NT1100 DCT 2023

The Honda NT1100 DCT presents itself as a really good touring motorbike. The ride comfort, the DCT transmission and the great Apple Carplay integration ensure that you enjoy riding the motorbike far and wide.

Extensive standard equipment

Really good wind and weather protection

Confident engine

Very suitable for long distances and comfortable

Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration

Suspension setup fits well with the character of the motorbike.

No IMU

limited suspension adjustment options, which reduces the machine's range of use

windshield adjustment requires a lot of effort

engine and DCT response in combination still take some getting used to and sometimes seem rough at first glance.

BMW R 1200 RT 2017

It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.

Luxuriously equipped

very well-functioning electronics

efficient windshield

pleasant handling

spacious pannier system.

Very difficult to manoeuvre at 300 kilos
