Derived from the Africa Twin, MCN have published their first impressions of the new Honda NT1100 Those Spanish roads look lovely. Review here https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-revi...da/nt1100/2022/ the new price from £12k makes it a competitor for the Kawasaki Z1000SX Ninja, the new Suzuki GSX-S1000GT or the Yamaha FJ09/Tracer 900. Coming with luggage as standard is nice. Having ridden a Africa Twin, I can't say I will be tempted by this bike, unless I am told by a cardiologist to take life at a more gentle pace. Any sensible person with £12k to spend would seek out a used R1250RS in preference to a new one of these. Spam goes here |

Interesting and probably pleasant enough. Of that list I think the Suzuki grabs my attention. |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #2 Yes. It is the only bike I would bother test riding. I owned a Tracer and did not like the Kawasaki. I guess another competitor is the F900XR but I rode one a few weeks ago and was underwhelmed. Spam goes here |

Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #5 you may be right but buyers tend to look at a price point and the new NT1100 will be given the once over by those looking at 12k bikes which include the two you mention. I doubt they will look for long as the lure of 4 cylinders (or 3 if they include the Yamaha) and more horsepower will take the win. for me, it is too heavy to be a contender. As I get older there will be a time when I look for a bike with a softer power delivery but I would also want a lot less weight, sub 200kg for sure. The MT07 will fit the bill probably. Even the MT07 Tracer is under 200kg. I think the buyers of the NT1100 will most likely be those already with Hondas. As you say, those who have been CBF1000 or Africa Twin buyers. I don't think Honda is going to lure too many from other makes.
