Honda CB1000GT 2026

Honda's attempt to derive a sporty touring bike from a Hornet has been a success for the Japanese. With a high level of comfort and impressive standard equipment, the new GT also scores highly in terms of sportiness. The 229kg is hardly noticeable when rider or stationary, giving a very lively impression. The look is also impressive thanks to the successful lines and skilful design and colour scheme. However, the most convincing aspect is probably the price-performance ratio. At €17,490 in Austria and €14,429 in Germany, Honda has really dropped the ball on the price. If you also consider the extensive standard equipment (electronic suspension, cruise control, heated grips, keyless go, case system,...), the Japanese have even cut the braces. However, anyone who wants to put the GT in their garage will need a little patience: the first vehicles are not expected to be delivered before the second quarter. But there is one small consolation in this respect: anticipation is the greatest joy!

High ride comfort Generous standard equipment

Price/performance ratio

Wide range of accessories

No automatic shift function when shifting up and throttle closed

Power at low revs could be more

Suspension a little bumpy on sharp edges

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike to a touring bike with a 19-inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessible thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter suspension travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Superbly responsive, now even more torquey engine

Bassier sound than before

Semi-active suspension as standard

Finely controllable brakes

19-inch front wheel and wider tyres raise cornering performance to a new level

Lower seat height makes the mighty Adventure Sports more accessible

Good wind protection

Tough off-road terrain now more difficult to master

riders over 1.85 m get loud turbulence on the helmet even in the highest windshield position

5 kg more on the ribs than before
