Honda CB1000GT 2026

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!

High level of driving comfort

Generous standard equipment

Value for money

Extensive range of accessories

No automatic gear-shifting function when upshifting and with the throttle closed

Power at low revs could be better

The suspension feels a bit stiff over sharp kerbs

Triumph Tiger Sport 800 2025

The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 presents itself as a versatile sport touring motorcycle that offers a successful blend of sportiness and suitability for everyday use. Particularly noteworthy are the new 798 cubic centimetre three-cylinder engine with its linear power delivery and yet still plenty of character, as well as the well-tuned Showa suspension, which offers both comfort and stability. The features with quickshifter, cruise control, cornering ABS and traction control as standard also emphasise the bike's modern aspirations. The ergonomics are accessible to many riders thanks to the low seat height and narrow design, while the fuel consumption and range are impressive. However, the wind protection shows weaknesses, especially for taller riders. However, this hardly detracts from the overall impression, especially when the price of the Tiger Sport 800 is taken into account. No other new crossover bike offers this kind of value for money.
