honda cb1000gt 2026

The newly launched 2026 Honda CB1000GT enters the sport-touring segment as a compelling blend of superbike performance and long-distance comfort, built upon the foundation of the CB1000 Hornet platform. At its heart is a retuned 1,000cc inline-four engine, derived from the CBR1000RR Fireblade, delivering a smooth yet potent output of nearly 148 horsepower. What sets the GT apart is its wealth of standard touring-focused technology and equipment, including Showa EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) semi-active suspension, a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for lean-sensitive rider aids like Cornering ABS, and Throttle-by-Wire control with multiple riding modes. Further enhancing its GT credentials are a high-specification package featuring standard detachable hard panniers, a quickshifter, heated grips, cruise control, and a five-position adjustable windscreen, all making it a highly attractive and aggressively priced contender for riders seeking a single motorcycle capable of both thrilling backroad blasts and effortless cross-continent travel.
