For a time, it seemed like Honda was teasing American consumers by announcing the NT1100’s arrival in the U.S. strictly as a police motorcycle. This sport tourer had already made a significant impact in Europe, where Honda had sold over 12,000 units since its 2023 debut, and it even received a styling update for the 2025 model year. Although the wait was longer than expected, American Honda has now confirmed that the NT1100 is officially coming to the U.S., with a starting price of $11,899.
For 2025, the NT1100 will come standard with the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) version of the 1,084cc parallel-twin engine derived from the Africa Twin. This model is equipped with a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which enables lean-sensitive ABS, traction control, and an anti-wheelie function.
The suspension system consists of a 43mm Showa cartridge-type inverted fork up front and a Showa rear shock, both offering 5.9 inches of travel and adjustable preload. Braking is handled by dual four-piston radial-mount calipers for the front wheel, while a single-piston caliper is used for the rear.
The 2025 Honda NT1100 DCT is set to arrive in U.S. dealerships in May, available in Pearl Hawkeye Blue.
