Honda has unveiled the new Honda NT1100, a sport-touring model based on the Honda Africa Twin. The Honda NT1100 has been designed for comfort, with the technology and performance of modern adventure bikes, but with a bias towards spending time on tarmac adventures. The NT1100 is based on the Honda Africa Twin, so based on the same parallel-twin engine, and shares the same steel frame and aluminium subframe from the Africa Twin, but with changed suspension and bodywork. The NT1100 has 17-inch wheels front and rear, unlike the Africa Twin, and suspension travel has been reduced to 150 mm.

The new NT1100 is powered by the 1,084 cc, parallel-twin engine of the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin, with new intakes and exhausts, which give it a meatier mid-range power, with a minor drop in peak torque. The engine of the Honda NT1100 makes 100.5 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 6,250 rpm. Also shared with the Africa Twin is the electronics suite, with lean sensitive traction control, cornering ABS and wheelie control. There are also three riding modes, Tour, Urban and Rain, as well as two additional user customisable modes.

The 6.5-inch TFT screen gets both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for navigation, music and calls.
