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
