Honda CB1000GT 2026

Honda’s attempt to develop a sporty touring model based on the Hornet has been a great success for the Japanese manufacturer. With a high level of comfort and an impressive range of standard features, the new GT also scores highly in terms of sportiness. You hardly notice the 229kg weight, either whilst riding or when stationary, giving it a very lively feel. Its appearance is also impressive, thanks to its sleek lines, skilful design and colour scheme. But what is likely to win people over most is the value for money. Priced at €17,490 in Austria and €14,429 in Germany, Honda has really slashed the price. When you also take into account the extensive standard equipment (electronic suspension, cruise control, heated grips, Keyless Go, case system, etc.), the Japanese manufacturer has really gone the extra mile. However, anyone keen to add the GT to their garage will need a little more patience: the first vehicles aren’t expected to be delivered until the second quarter at the earliest. There is one small consolation, though: anticipation is half the fun!
Honda CB1000F 2026

What can I say? I’d had high expectations, because the CB1000F looks fantastic and is built on the excellent Hornet platform. At the same time, I was worried that Honda might have tamed the engine too much, set up the suspension to be too comfortable, or that the whole retro theme would ultimately be nothing more than a nice bit of window dressing. None of that happened. The 122 Horsepower unit is spot on, because this engine delivers powerful thrust at low and mid-range revs. The suspension combines comfort with the firmness you need when sending it harder. The S22 sticks to the tarmac, the brakes work superbly and the sound is a dream. Add to that the riding position, which makes you feel as though you can practically see Freddie Spencer and the great AMA battles right in front of you. The bike is quite simply world-class. AMA Superbike racing has arrived in the 2020s. Congratulations, Honda! Brilliant.
