This is indeed a great bike for the price and purpose. Not perfect but all serious and experienced reviewers are giving two thumbs up to this bike. Funny thing, there is a comment here complaining about the lack of shaft drive and the fact that it has a chain! Must be a young rider, new to biking, with no idea about what we used to ride decades ago. Probably a troller. Ah, if I had this bike 40+ years ago...... Btw, there are countless people travelling across the globe on bikes with chains as I write this comment. I never heard anyone complaining about it or having to cancel their adventures because of it. Thanks for video!
I just bought one. To be honest as an older biker like yourself I rode 40 years with bikes as my main transport. I loved the beemers shaft drives in winter with all the salt on the roads and working 14 hour shifts for weeks it was an absolute boon not to have to faff around with chains. Modern chains though seem to be ok, BMW are doing an endurance chain? Anyways ride safe ...
Hi 👋 I've got a manual with quick shifter, 12,500 miles in 13 months and enjoyed all of it. Take 20 minutes to see how buttons work, put it in Tour when you go for it, (full power). Urban is still OK for general use because Tour mode can be a bit snatchy at slow speeds like switch back turns.
Keep up the good work.
After buying my NT 1100 IN SEPTEMBER took an evening tinkering with the bike to learn how to use the controls its very intuitive
I traded in my 2019 AT for one six months ago and, 9000 miles in, it definitely devours the miles in comfort and can be brisk if you use the gears. I have loved it. I bought the DCT so do need to manual change gears a bit but it works a treat with a pillion and luggage. Been over all the passes in the Lake District effortlessly. Its a keeper. Also as an IAM observer this is a great bike for taking people out on lessons
Have had the NT1100 for a while now and love it. Amazing bike, especially for the price.
Though you do need a pHD to learn the switch gear!
Not a sports tourer, just a tourer - which suits me just fine.
Thankfully a review on a 6 speed manual bike. Not everyone wants a DCT transmission. At 74 I still like to row my own gears. Nice review, but sadly here in the States Honda doesn’t offer the bike for sale. The Africa Twin has been for sale for several years, so the engine has passed our emissions standards. Not everyone wants a Goldwing and this seems a perfect substitute.
That thing is a beast! It's literally double the weight of my little 125, so probably a bit out of my comfort zone to be honest, but I really like this thing! It's a beaut IMO! I really like the clean look of it- with minimal gubbins on display. Bit of an old man's bike though really.
I agree I think they have nailed the styling given its a big old tourer. It has a lot of road presence
That bike is definitely for long distance. Not terribly exciting but would consider owning it though if I was the type who did a lot of miles. Good straight forward review.
Genuinely would cross a continent on it with pure ease and wouldn't care if you forgot to lock the front door you'd happily ride straight back again
Another fantastic video keep going bro 👊🏼
Nice one 😎
I had a demo bike while my Africa Twin DCT got new tyres fitted you came to the same conclusion as i its a brilliant motorcycle 😊
Real nice video and what great information, it brimgs me back in the 80's when I got my shadow 750 and changed for a shadow 1100. Today, I have a NC750X DCT and a GL1800, so the size doesn't really matter. Thanks for this great review.
I have a gl1800 and this bike is a temporary bite from the insurance after my borough wrote my bike off. I don't really like it I much prefer my Goldwing.
@@elixier33 Well, our bike is always the best. I remember when I went for my first GL, I had my boulevard and it was the best until I rode back home with the 2001 GL1800 red illusion. Having a motorcycle with a bigger engine than a car is just WOW.
Good honest review. Is the Honda cmx1100t a better tourer than the nt1100 ?
Great review !! Subscribed. Most of my touring is on bumpy roads and I am finding the suspension on my Tracer 9 GT is a bit hard. What is the ride quality of the Honda like on bumpy roads ?
Thanks!! This is a lot more forgiving and wafts and floats along more so than gives you a sportier ride like your Tracer would do
I want to try the DCT version.
I tried it. A great bike overall, can check it among my videos.
Is Honda not selling this in North America to manufacture scarcity or they just can’t keep up with demand around the rest of the world? Sure, it’s a hubris-free pipe ‘n slippers bike, but that’s exactly what I’m looking for now. If I could get it, I’d be at the dealership today.
Swapped my Africa Twin for the NT1100 manual, loved me AT but this is a dream to ride.
It glides along beautifully
Any chance of trying the Suzuki GSX S1000GT ? Now that’s a sports tourer !
I think it's more of a sports bike with touring capabilities.
I'm ready for Honda to bring this to the United States
When you are young, you can turn even a Honda cub into a sports tourer.
Having ridden a new one, auto, with a faulty display that didn't work at all.
I can't say i was impressed with the gears or the off road foot pegs that dug into my calves.
Plent of other tourers around that give some thrills.
Quick shifter manual or dct?
What a nice video of the NT (No Torque) 1100 😄 Thank you Rye!
You're welcome 😁
does the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 also have 'no torque'?? That has an extra 100+ cc yet only makes 4 ftlb more than the NT .... 🤔🤷♂
Oh no... You're using the Urban mode, which limits the power...
I was riding in touring mode for most of my test ride 😇
Miss the days where your mode was in your wrist
More beautiful assistant!
would've been much better in Tour mode on that initial test as it gives full power
I was riding in tour mode for the most part
Great video. You got my like. Honda did a great job with introducing this bike. The key point is how comfortable it is. I rode it. Drop by to see my video about it. :)
p.s. Keep your assistant. She will bring you more views.
Its a good bike. What's boring exactly. Its got enough oomph for this 65 year old.
Engine's bigger than 184cc; 1084cc perhaps?
It’s a real shame they didn’t make the windscreen electric. Unbelievable Honda go back to the drawing board.
Yes I guess it's to try keep costs down but maybe could have been an option? I would guess an electronic screen will come standard on later gen
it looks like a great twin, I assumed it was a four banger, to bitch about it having no power at 3000 is not fair to the bike, I've had plenty of four cylinder bikes that sucked under 4000 rpm........Harlys and other over weight twin pigs do well down there, and they are a lot heavier....this aint a bagger bike....
Looks like an upsized NC750X!
It is 😄
That bike reminds me of the old saying i never went to bed with a ugly bird but i woke up with a few , sadly your sober and have no excuse with that bike 🙈
Too right, I've ridden one, its duller than a wet day in England.
This bike fails miserably in the market that it intends to compete. It has no shaft drive, which means continuously adjusting, cleaning and lubing the chain, plus the bike gets covered in crud which also has to get cleaned off! Its next to useless compaired to the old 710cc Deauville twin and not a patch on the Honda Pan European which also had an electric screen. This bike you have to stop every time you change from a motorway to b class roads or visa versa or every time a shower comes along to get off the bike and pull up or down the screen which cant be adjusted on the bike!!! Its next to useless. Both the BMW and the Triumph Tiger 1200cc's have no maintenance shaft drives and screens which are adjustable while you are on the bike. For long distances they kick this Honda's backside. Honda has lost it all by dropping the very things that made their long distance machines great. This bike is plain, ordinary. Any bike with a chain drive and panniers will do the same as this does.
This may be right, but the key point is the comfort and are features that is has as standard. :) Rode it. Can check it.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace nobody is comfortable crouching in the dirt adjusting, cleaning and lubricating a chain before you can ride the next 500 miles. You can't get to enjoy the features unless you have first got filthy with the damned chain which isn't the case with a shaft drive. Of course if you only use it for sunny Sunday shopping trips, that's another story.
@@spillarge I get it, but the reality is that most bike still have chains. :) I would also like to have shaft, just like you. :)
New to biking? It’s sold out. Donor engine does not have a shaft. So much bike for the money. Best of all? It’s not a bmw…
@@alrightdave6135 The BMW RT 1250 is a far better bike and so is the Honda ST1300
