You don't sound overly impressed. It's the same engine as the Africa Twin, what does it feel like in comparison?

[ihatetechnomusic]

I got this one in manual with the quickshifter. The bike is very comfortable to ride, it's predictable and has just enough power to go 2up and with luggage. The electronics package is quite good for the price. Personally i love it!

[TheJmebe]

Have to admit being a bit of a Honda fanboy (owned around 20 bikes, of which 5 have been Honda - Honda still best build quality even against BMW etc.)...

Honda do market this as a tourer rather than a sports-tourer.

When an engine of similar capacity produces less power/torque than the competition, assuming it is well-built (Honda only do 'well' in my experience), is essentially just that the manufacturer has released it in a low-tune / state of stress. In the real-ownership-world that should translate into, good fuel economy, cheaper servicing and longevity.

Good review, I am taking a test ride next Saturday on 2024 NT 1100, so now I know what to look out for, cheers 👍Manxman 🇮🇲

[gazthebook]

Never ever thought of this bike as a sports tourer…….just a mile munching tourer thats all. I have the DCT version and love it. A lot of bike for the money. Yeah it won’t set the world alight but personally can’t see the point of having something with 150+ BHP on our roads.
Yeah I kinda sensed you were in a grumpy mood……get the bike again. It grows on you. Cheers

[VRFlightSimGuy]

When you stopped for fuel for a moment I thought you said "I've done 100 miles in 3 quarters of an hour", you're not kidding it must be deceptively fast haha. Great honest review, I think I'll stick with my beloved FJR. Take care.

[chrishall]

Took this for a test drive when it first came out. Wasn’t sold on the bike it but loved the engine. Took the Africa twin out and bought one. Much better bike with the same great engine. Regarding snatchieness I’ve found I set up the two user modes. One for faster speeds and one for city roads (less power and no engine breaking) which reduces the snatch.

[china-trip]

My best friend, OMG! So wonderful! I really love this! Thank you so much!

[grenphelps]

The front end reminds me of a Iveco van 🤣🤣

[reverendhoover]

Oooh I know those roads very well as I live in Kent. People say there's no decent roads in the South East but you've just disproved that. I still quite fancy the NT and will test a DCT one this year. Thanks for the review!

[SuperchargedLlama]

You said it in the first couple of minutes and I think it sums it up perfectly, it feels planted around roundabouts and stable when filtering. If anything is say it's like a massive scooter?

With the snatchy fuelling, I found when I put it in D rather than Sport, for constant mid speed, it was suitably refined. Noticeably different at least. And I've realised you're on the manual, the DCT kicks down like an auto car and I found that helped with the "I'm in the wrong sodding gear again".

[pjclark]

Re-make of the CBF1000, anyone else see the likeness, or is it just me. Keep telling it like it is and I will keep watching.

[siraff]

Thanks for being honest. There are a lot of bike "reviewers" who are just reading the press pack and singing its praises. CF Moto seemed to "sponsor" a few "reviews" a while back and it was just shocking how quickly these people will sell out.
Integrity is something to be admired and kept - especially as so many people seem to have forgotten what it is or why its important.
Top work.

[TheGorillaBiker]

I have a CBF1000 and was very interested when this bike was announced....africa twin engine, sports tourer, what could possibly go wrong!?
Then I saw it and watched a lot of the launch reviews, and while no one on the launch could slate it for obvious reasons everyone did say how the suspension was a bit crap etc, I was mad disappointed, a lot of what you said really drilled a lot of it home too. I also am not a fan of the looks at all, I think it just leaned too far towards the tourer for me rather than the sports, both in looks and performance.
Brilliant to see you on it tbh, we're similar sized and ride fairly the same too. Don't think it'll ever be a bike for me, not to say it's not a great bike for touring, I would have rathered to see a shaft drive on it if it's pure touring tho. Great vid Bruce :)

[terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

That rear preload you added will just change where the shock is in the stroke, it isn't going to stiffen up the rear. Given your size adding extra preload was probably a good idea though to get a bit more travel on the compression stroke and a bit of a sharper rake. You can "taste" a certain lack of enthusiasm! 😆. It's saving grace is the price as you say.

[christopherhorton]

Took one out at the MCN Festival. I was mostly impressed. I liked the engine, comfort and the fact that you had most of the touring extras that you would pay a grand for ordinarily. The throttle was a bit snatchy, but i got used to it, The TFT screen is very slow on start up and what's with having to press an ok button on the screen on start up? The screen adjustment is rubbish too. I thought the handling was ok, we were pressing on and I was keeping up with a CB1000R. I have a 950 Multistrada which is a great bike, but adding the extras the NT came with would add nearly £1500. Good effort Honda!

[michaellilley]

Good to hear an honest review on this bike, all the others I've seen must have been pure GUSH!!

[adrianjackson]

‘Dad Bike’ this may be but it’s perfect for me. I ride progressively but I’m by no means a speed freak. I have the manual with quick shifter and it’s comfortable, great mpg and for me the perfect ride.

[andyshaw]

Watch his review of the Suzuki GT and he changes his mind about this bike. Good on ya Tp1 keep it up 😊

[colinradford]

I was going to get one but opted for a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT. Glad I did now thanks to your review.
