New Honda CB1000GT Sport Tourer Makes Global Debut at EICMA 2025

Honda presented the CB1000GT at the EICMA 2025 show held in Milan, Italy, from November 4 to 9. The motorcycle is positioned as a sport-touring model that combines the power of a naked sportbike with the comfort and carrying ability of a touring motorcycle.

The Honda CB1000GT is powered by a 1000cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline four-cylinder engine derived from the CB1000 Hornet. It gets fuel injection settings and a throttle-by-wire system. The setup is designed to deliver smooth throttle response and reduced rider fatigue, especially during long-distance rides.

The Honda CB1000GT uses a modified version of the CB1000 Hornet’s steel diamond frame with a newly developed seat rail. It also comes equipped with Honda’s Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA) suspension system - it automatically adjusts damping based on data from the six-axis IMU, engine control unit and wheel speeds to suit varying road and riding conditions.

In terms of design, the CB1000GT features an integrated front cowl and shroud design with an adjustable windscreen offering five height settings and 81mm of total adjustment.

The motorcycle gets multiple electronic features such as four preset riding modes: Standard, Sport, Rain and Tour - along with a customizable User mode. It also comes with a quick shifter.

Honda RoadSync connectivity is standard, allowing riders to connect their smartphones via Bluetooth for navigation, calls and other functions.

Honda will offer a range of official accessories for the CB1000GT, including panniers, top boxes, larger windscreens and comfort seats. The motorcycle is expected to be available in Europe, Japan and select markets across Asia and Oceania.
