Honda has unveiled the CB1000 GT at EICMA 2025, held in Milan. The CB1000 GT is a new sport tourer from the Japanese manufacturer based on the Honda CB1000 Hornet.
The CB1000 GT Tourer is powered by a 1000cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine, borrowed from the CB1000 Hornet, tuned to deliver a smoother throttle response and enhanced mid-range torque, making it perfect for long-distance cruising. The changes include a revised fuel injection and wire by throttle.
The changes resulted in slightly decreased peak power figures of 149.7hp at 11,000rpm and 102 N · m at 8,750rpm, compared to Hornet’s 157 horsepower at 11,000 rpm and 107 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm.
The chassis is a steel diamond frame reinforced by a redesigned subframe to support increased luggage carrying capacity without compromising agility. Suspended from the frame is Honda’s Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA), with suspension travel of 130mm at the front and 144mm at the rear, with the ability to automatically change the damping based on the speed and other factors recorded on the 6-axis AMU.
The CB1000 GT comes equipped with cruise control, heated grips, knuckle guards, quick shifter, and dual 310mm front discs with Nissin four-piston radial callipers and a 240mm rear disc, with cornering ABS as standard.
The motorcycle features a five-inch full-colour TFT display that supports Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity for navigation and communication. Additionally, the CB1000 GT offers the riders four different riding modes — Standard, Sport, Rain, and Tour—plus a customizable User mode.
Slated for early 2026 launch, the CB1000 GT Tourer is aimed at riders seeking a sportier alternative to traditional touring motorcycles. Designed to offer a combination of the thrilling performance of a naked sports bike with sophisticated touring comfort and advanced technology.
