Thanks for the video, very much appreciated! I have now ordered my NT1100 DCT ES to be delivered in spring 2025! I’m planning a trip along the Baltic from Hamburg to Tallinn, then ferry to Finnland, head north to Kirkenes in Norway and go along the Norwegian coastline to Bergen, across the mountains to Oslo and eventually back to Hamburg. All in this is going to be approximately 15.000 km and I plan to be gone for about 3 months. I will be reporting on my experiences, but I am pretty sure, that I have got the best possible bike for the trip!
Maybe we will see around next to Stettin or Swinemünde where I live ;) I own a tiger 900 gt pro and consider if not to change it to the nt1100:) Best regards from Poland and I wish you wonderful journey

@ it is not going to be new at the Point, when I start the trip, it will be delivered in May and by the time I am leaving for the trip, I will have done about 2.500 km already …
I have the 2023 , I have toured Spain , Portugal , France and it has been brilliant. The DCT takes a bit of getting used to . I will look forward testing the new NT and see if it’s worth the upgrade Great video Kate 👍🏍️
Another objective review, good stuff Kate.. Your energetic enthusiasm sets you apart it really does.. Spoke to you at Motorcycle Live last Sat ..the two of us from Preston... Just a little tip.....try not to mix up the words Voyager and voyeur..... Trust me on this one..... Look forward to the Hornet review... Respect lass, your brill..👍
You and Itchy Boots are the best motorcycle channels. I love your "Englishisms" it's so not Canadian. Good technical stuff from an experienced rider. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Thanks and congrats for filming during action and passing your on-road experiences. Many other journalists just stood beside the bike and read the script.
Cracking vid 👌🏻 Came very close to buying the previous version in 2023 but went with a Ninja 1000SX instead. The upgrades that Honda have made to the 2025 version make this a serious contender for anyone looking to tour. The new pannier set up looks both functional and user friendly.
Fab review kate. The bike is superb.. I'm really liking the idea of a bit more comfort as i get older ... its definitely one thatll stand the test of time. Looks like its got everything the good rider would need. Fantastic riding shown too👍
Had a real long look at this at the Bike show this week and am very impressed. Interestingly, the guy on the stand said that anyone with the original jerky DCT system can take it to their Honda dealer for a free software update which will (hopefully) iron out the issue. Sticking with my Tracer 9GT for now though! Keep the content coming Kate, still up there with the most objective on YT.
Thank you so much for this initial review. This is the first I've heard of the new IMU module that works with the DCT. I understand exactly what you meant by the DCT changing gears in a corner. It's one of the things I haven't liked on my '22 Goldwing but I've gotten used to it and have learned to anticipate it. The IMU sounds like it's solved this problem, if I ever get the chance I'll try it out someday.
Great review Kate…as you know I had one of these when they first came out. I liked it but after we met I changed it for the 1250 GS. Looks like it’s much improved on the one I had and good value for money it seems. Cheers
Nice review, the weather and roads looked great. I do like the sound of some of the updates and I am pleased it hasn’t changed price much. I have had mine for nearly two years and use it for 100 mile round trip commute which I do all year round and it is perfect for that. I have the DCT version and think it is great.
Good review, really nice motorcycle, enjoyable to watch! I hope they bring it to the USA. I haven’t seen your work before, although I realize now that you have been around for a while. In any case this is very well done. We need to encourage women in motorcycling, fwiw please keep going!
Well done Honda for adding the longer front mudguard. This simple improvement is so essential in the UK and is sure to be welcomed by owners who like to look after their machine.
Great review Kate. Thanks. I have the previous model NT1100. The addition of the cornering IMU, the electronic suspension and the new colours add to the bikes appeal.
Great review, Kate. Always appreciate the real-world perspective! Marriage is different from dating. Honda, now that this great bike is perfected, it's time for its US debut! Give Kate a long-termer and have her check out the States! We've a few great roads, and even more buyers :)
Superb review Kate, as usual, open minded and honest. Ex Crosstourer DCT owner here, gutted that Honda never kept that bike upto date. When the NT came out it just looked so bland, new subtle updates and better colours have really improved its looks. Its now a bike id consider. Keep up the great work.
Great video, Kate. Love to watch you going through those nice long sweepers. Those speedometers were in KPH, as opposed to MPH, correct? I saw 100+ on yours. Those guys in front of you, looked like they were on The Isle of Man.
Great video as always, Kate. If storage and maneuverability was not an issue, I'd have one of these in a heartbeat. Test rode one last year and absolutely loved it. Sadly any bike I buy has to live under a soft cover in the front garden, which means manhandling it down a step from the street and then into position on slabs on the gravel, so I think it's weight is its only con for me in regards to my particular needs/capabilities. I think currently the XL750 Transalp is the one I shall go for next year instead (or at least that is the current favourite of all that I've test ridden).
Honda please give Kate a long term test bike. I'm really interested in your products but need someone i trust to review it!! I'm sick of watching videos quoting power figures rather than actual usability!?
Great review Kate... I have ridden an NC with DCT (my old Merc has an old school flappy box auto) ....I tend to prefer traditional manual box machines for when pressing on.... BUT I can see the benefits of DCT...more so for touring on unfamiliar roads. IMU intergration with gear changing the DCT quite appealng. The HP seems ample on those roads ....I doubt I would have desire bravado or handlng skills to press on much faster..... I note IMU on this but not on the 1000 Hornet.....shame. ....Nicely done - Thanks 👍🏍
I have the ‘23 manual version. It might not have sports bike power, but it’s got surprisingly good performance if you’re not afraid to ride it like you stole it. Coming from a ST 765RS I was worried that it might be a bit boring, but it’s very capable and plenty quick enough if you’re not wanting to go to jail. I want to test ride the DCT version, and if it’s as good as it appears I’ll be upgrading towards the end of ‘25.
Nice bike. I would definitely go with a manual because, well, let’s face it, we have to keep the dream alive..! 😊 As I do most of my suspension maintenance myself, the electronic suspension just makes things way too complicated for me. I am really interested in the bike and seriously thinking of getting one. I have started to do some moto camping with my CBR1000RR by having a Givi top box installed to a custom bracket where the pillion seat would normally be. Nothing touched the paint. No scratches. 😊 It’s the ultimate sport tourer performance wise but 47 litres is the minimum you should have for camping. I just keep dreaming about the freedom I’d have if I could pack 123 litres. 😮 I will be keeping my CBR1000RR just to prove I’m still young. 😂 I am worried about the handling of the NT compared to the CBR which I’ve been riding for 20 years now. As for the plug in Apple CarPlay, I was a little disappointed it needed to be wired but then again, it keeps the phone charged on those long rides anyway. Keep up the good work, thank you.
Perhaps you should have told those Valentino Rossi lookalikes in front of you that they were out testing a touring bike and not at Silverstone on a race bike. As for the bike, it's a Honda so you can't go wrong.
Very good review, thanks for that, all 30 minutes of it. MCN did an awful review, under 10 minutes, the tester clearly not interested in the bike or hungover, LOL.
No, just 3 variants. I thought Manual with ES would be a welcomed addition but 2/3rds of NT1100 sales since 21 have been DCT - so that may have had some influence in that decision by them.
With the size of the luggage it will make a fantastic touring bike. Can't think of another brand that comes close with DCT, electronic suspension etc for the price. Will be interested to see what the Voyager pack costs when they announce it. Definitely a contender for my next bike. Great review, covered all the things we need to know......
Thanks for the pro review! I have purchased rather the manual version (in 2024) with a quickshifter. For me, DCT has worked weird 😅 Probably Honda has solved the strange functioning of the DCT with IMU.
Hi, now we have a few bikes with automatic transmission, GS, Tracer and Honda. Can you try to compare the automatic transmission on those bikes? I have a NT1100 DCT 22’ happy with the bike , but not on slow u-turns
If you use a short USB-A-plug, there is a cover. Otherwise you can plug in a Bluetooth-dongle and connect your phone over bluetooth. It’s a little tricky, but solves the problem!
Great video and it adds a lot more to think about. I was looking at the Honda NC700 adventure bike but i would only use it on the roads. These sports tourers really give you something to think about. Have you Rode the NC750 yet?
I heard one of these bikes at the show last week. It was on the gearbox demo stage and I was shocked to see what the epic noise was coming from. The NT used to be a right boring bike!
Do you know if I will be able to purchase this motorcycle here in the Philippines? If so, I’m definitely going to buy one for myself………my first motorcycle at that! Great video and thanks so much for sharing. 🥃
colour is very nice, wish they did the Africa twin in that. I have had occasion to use the cornering abs on AT, the imu is involved I guess. It is very impressive.
my old man had the older dct model, that gearbox was lethal if you were trying to do a turn in the road, The result was a broken foot, Hopefully the imu fixes that issue in the new version.
How's the power on the new bike? I looked at this one, though an older model, and looked at the Africa Twin, and since the AT had more oomph I chose that one, though one that had a Puig tall screen, side baffles, fork tunnel baffle, etc etc.
I have a bit of experience on an older (manual) NT1100. What I disliked the most is the throttle: apparently Honda’s idea of different throttle response in different riding modes comes down to increasing/decreasing the resistance to throttle movement, and I found anything but the lowest resistance to be quite annoying to ride. Looking at the TFT screen in your review, this still seems to be the case. Other than that it’s a nice bike to ride - but you basically have to use User modes and luckily you can 🙂
Manual, Blue, not interested in electronic suspension. Just increases the price and the risk of one of the components breaking. Not a big issue for some but my next purchase will be with me for around 15 years.
I would have had serious division between my 24 Africa Twin DCT Adventure Sport vs that NT 1100 had the 1100 been sold in the states. I think Honda did not want the 1100 stealing sales from the Africa Twin in the USA.
i really like the bike(brand , DTC , comfortability etc..), but i dont know if its the proper one for me . Still 30 years old . It feels like i should go for something for sportier.... Its gonna be my first 'big' bike
I have the NT from 2023. Yes, connecting the smartphone via cable, sucks. There are wireless adapters on the market, why doesn't Honda adapt a system like that? I confess that I still haven't memorized half of the 17 buttons on the handlebars, which is a problem at night. If they were backlit...
Thanks for the video, very much appreciated! I have now ordered my NT1100 DCT ES to be delivered in spring 2025! I’m planning a trip along the Baltic from Hamburg to Tallinn, then ferry to Finnland, head north to Kirkenes in Norway and go along the Norwegian coastline to Bergen, across the mountains to Oslo and eventually back to Hamburg.

Camping?
@@Greggspies Partly yes, in Norway most campgrounds offer cabins with bunk-beds and a little more comfort as an alternative and b&b or Airbnb both are options. I plan to go from place to place and stay for one or two nights, if I feel that there is more to be discovered.
@@hennerkuhne6462 no… a new bike is never the best bike for a trip.
You’d want a bike you’ve known
@ it is not going to be new at the Point, when I start the trip, it will be delivered in May and by the time I am leaving for the trip, I will have done about 2.500 km already …
Good that you were invited to the launch. Nice to see a more representative launch event. Another good video. Thanks
Hopefully, there on merit and not as a box tick 🙏
It might start as a tick box, that won't last long. Your reviews are balanced, relevant and entertaining. Keep up the great work 👍
The best value for money in the market right now, especially the base model. Honda will be one of the few that will survive the Chinese.
Absolutely agree. With the prices of their latest bikes Honda are definitely positioning themselves to fend off the Chinese onslaught.
great value I think!
We need tariffs on Chinese goods. They undercutting and not fair competition. Eu doing it
I never buy Chinese no matter how cheap.
@@cmmgray No we don't, what we need is mainstream brands to stop charge exorbitante prices on motorcycles and be more competitive.
I have the 2023 , I have toured Spain , Portugal , France and it has been brilliant. The DCT takes a bit of getting used to . I will look forward testing the new NT and see if it’s worth the upgrade
Great video Kate 👍🏍️
Kate, outstanding as always! Totally enjoy watching your rides and reviews, you’re honest and professional.
Another objective review, good stuff Kate..
Your energetic enthusiasm sets you apart it really does..
Spoke to you at Motorcycle Live last Sat ..the two of us from Preston...
Just a little tip.....try not to mix up the words Voyager and voyeur.....
Trust me on this one.....
Look forward to the Hornet review...

Another great video Kate, it was great chatting with you and Mike on the Honda stand today at the NEC. Keep up the good work!
Such a fun launch Kate, thanks for the shout out, not often I get on the berries these days!
Pleasure to ride with you as always!!!
Great review. Have the manual with quick shifter and love it. Never going to be the quickest but really comfortable and great for long tours. 🙂

22’ Goldwing has a 6 axis IMU so you already have it!!! You may need to re-initialize your transmission and update the ECU!
@@veiledallegory Nuh uh! Really?! I'll have to look into it. Thanks!!!
Have a 50 litre top box on a Honda Transalp 750, never used one prior , but they are brilliant for convenience .

Same, same 🤣🤣 someone needs to know haha
Hello. Beautiful first contact. Awesome. Question for you... From the existing 3 colours, which one do you like the most? Thanks
How would you describe the noise level at speed? Will helmet comms work?
Oh easily. I even listened to some music on the ride back to the hotel, no issues.
Good video Kate what roads were you on
Great review. Plugging in USB can be a water ingress point unless you use something like silicon putty 💜
If you use a short USB-A-plug, there is a cover. Otherwise you can plug in a Bluetooth-dongle and connect your phone over bluetooth. It’s a little tricky, but solves the problem!

Ohhhh nice! I guess that is my next stop. Thank you mate i appreciate that. @@UsernameKate
How was the wind noise? Some reviews have said that the previous model was outstanding, whereas this wasn't top level anymore...
I heard one of these bikes at the show last week. It was on the gearbox demo stage and I was shocked to see what the epic noise was coming from. The NT used to be a right boring bike!
It surprised me too!!
Why some of the tech not on x-adv? electronic suspension, cornering abs etc.
Do you know if I will be able to purchase this motorcycle here in the Philippines? If so, I’m definitely going to buy one for myself………my first motorcycle at that!
Great video and thanks so much for sharing.

Love your reviews can you do one on a Kawasaki 1400 GTR I know it’s old bike now but would love to see what you think about it.
I have had two of those, brilliant bike.
If I can get my hands on one, I'd love to!
Good high-speed cable under the fairing till the seat, under the seat USB wireless dongle and the problem with Android Auto is solved.
They need to bring this to the US. So disappointed they won’t. I’d buy one today.
They are 😊 forecasted may 2025 😊

I haven't unfortunately 🥲 sorry!
Not available in the US?
It will be :)

May 2025
@ where do you get this information?
This bike surprised me , no heated seats?
Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo. Puis-je te demander ta taille et ton ressenti sur la hauteur de selle ?
Lovely roads them!!
Comparing Honda DCT and BMW ASA, which one is better?
How's the power on the new bike? I looked at this one, though an older model, and looked at the Africa Twin, and since the AT had more oomph I chose that one, though one that had a Puig tall screen, side baffles, fork tunnel baffle, etc etc.
I always thought on paper they were a bit underpowered but it wasn't lacking on this launch for me (in tour mode)
pride comes before a fall
?
I'm not very good at English, but I find this English easy to understand. Is this the pronunciation of England's upper class, RP?
This is a northern accent 😊 most don't understand me but I'm glad you can!!!
I'm old school and want a clutch, do you know what the sales difference between dct and traditional clutch bikes are? ... Just curious
I think it's 66% DCT but I'll fact check myself shortly
Thanks Kate
Since 2021, 2/3rds of NTs sold have been DCT :)

Manual, Blue, not interested in electronic suspension. Just increases the price and the risk of one of the components breaking. Not a big issue for some but my next purchase will be with me for around 15 years.
Good shout!
I would like the manual gearbox with es.

i really like the bike(brand , DTC , comfortability etc..), but i dont know if its the proper one for me . Still 30 years old . It feels like i should go for something for sportier.... Its gonna be my first 'big' bike
I have the NT from 2023. Yes, connecting the smartphone via cable, sucks. There are wireless adapters on the market, why doesn't Honda adapt a system like that? I confess that I still haven't memorized half of the 17 buttons on the handlebars, which is a problem at night. If they were backlit...
my blue one is here this month dct es
Niceeeeee
Wish I could get one in the US!!
Coming to you in 2025 :)
@ really? Awesome!! Haven’t seen anything official on yet. But hope so!
That's what Honda told us in the presentation :)

Ok 👏🎉👍🌹
Honda answer / response to Kawasaki versys 1100 se GT 2026.
Great looking bike. This type of bike needs to be belt or shaft drive.

Kate could review doggie pooper scoopers and I'd listen to every word.
I want the voyeur pack
Comes with binoculars 🤣

Nice bike, but I’d definitely go with a manual transmission
