Fun review. I do wish it were a shaft drive vs the chain. I went in a smaller direction with a 2022 NC750X. Do wish it had that screen. Oh well, always a trade off and what keeps us coming back for the next bike.
Nice work on the overall video. You created quite a nice piece to watch and pretty captured the intended purpose of the NT1100 and one that unsurprisingly follows Hondas design ethos. In my eyes a bit understated and "Vanilla". But it seems to have emerged as a nice offspring of the contributing "parents" of the AF and XADV. Cool. Cheers,
I`ve been a loyal German Fan of your Channel for years. We`re all getting a bit long in the tooth Due to our age, but that`s exactly what sparked my interest in this Video of yours. Thank you for this very good Review. I`ve now ordered one, but then unfortunately a less off-road for me personally in Future 😂
@@GPz84 I totally agree with you. Belts and pulleys have proven themselves well. Have a friend with a 2008 FLHX with original rear belt, approaching 200,000 km.
Nicely done ThankYou 👍 Yes it is a bit cold this month , it is good to see you becoming friends with the DCT gearbox i think the foot-pegs placement are copied directly from the Africa Twin and are also meant for standing and the only way to reach the ground are to keep one foot in front and the other behind the foot pegs 🦶
Always great to watch reviews from exotic places like the tropical island of Scotland. Glad you had more fun with the NT than Rocketman did. Probably had something to do with the availability of some decent single malt.
You’re right, coffee cup holder is the most important accessory! Here’s me thinking : adaptive radar, shaft drive, electric windscreen, electronic suspension et al…
Excellent review! Very informative and had me laughing from the start. Looking forward to the NT1100 coming to the States. I ride a 2003 Goldwing *(which I adore) but, as I get older a bike as heavy as my Wing gets less appealing. I think the NT will be a good alternative.
Just waiting for this to come to the us was going to get a rebel 1100 dct for my first bike but the price for the nt is just a little bit more and all I ever hear about it is how easy it is to ride and how comfortable it is.
I couldn’t get on with my AT DCT. Too tall and heavy for me. Now this looks like a much better bike for those who spend all their time on the road. If I didn’t have a deposit down on a GS or I would give it a go 🙂
Refreshingly swift review, and it definitely looks an interesting bike. Not surprised you racked up a few miles, it looks lovely to ride. May I ask how tall you are, I’m a shortarse so seat height is important.😀.
With respect, knowing someone's height will be of no help to you. A 7ft tall man with a 28 inch inseam won't be flat footing that bike. Inseam length and spine length are what you need respectively for flat-foot data and for wind shield data. Yet 98% of bike reviewers on here simply give their height. Good luck. Joe
I was hoping for something more like an Africa twin with 17" wheels bit like a multistrada. This thing is huge. And I think the engine let's this down, a 1100 triple would be better with 125hp. Or a v3 if we're dreaming.
Why Honda couldn’t provide a similar adjustable screen on the standard Africa Twin is bewildering, as is the lack of a 12v socket. As for feeling planted on 17” rims, the AT is also well planted despite being on 21” hoops. The suspension and rubber is well dialled from the factory on both bikes. It will be interesting to see how the NT sells given the existence of the NC750 and the AT. I do wonder what other alternatives a prospective NT1100 buyer would cross shop with. I trust you finished your cuppa this time round and missed the swear jar.
I ordered the nt1100 next week. I was considering a kawasaki versys 1000 and a ducati multistrada v2. In the end the screen and the engine convinced me of the NT. I considered the DCT too, but i was not 100% dure whether it was something I like, so i bought the normal one plus quickshifter.
If I was going to put a grand on the base price I'd skip the DCT and would prefer the ES. Works brilliant on my Africa Twin and for a touring bike would be very handy. Next generation add, Honda?
It's a nice bike but unless you're doing two up pillion how can you justify the price against the NC750X which has the same engine as the ADVX scooter you quoted but is cheaper
Great stuff, shaft drive would have really been great on this bike, who wants to mess around with a chain oiler on a long tour? Also the colours on offer are very bland, do one in Vfr red with gold or silver wheels Honda.
@@redbull4fly797 Not exactly. I only take my tank bag while travelling with my luggage. In other situations I does not use it at all. So I have since two years the same remark like Motoeuro.
Great review though Honda is way too late. I sold my ST1100 Pan European and XL600V Transalp and moved to KTM. I fully believe the NT is capable and comfortable but also boring and (imho) ugly. But hey, this is just me. Everyone should just buy what they want and go out and have fun !
Belt drive would have been nice! Virtually maintenance-free compard to chain and sprockets, and without the complexity, added weight, and added cost of a shaft drive. Since this bike is aimed at the touring/sport touring crowd, Honda dropped the ball in this regard, IMHO.
Agree! At least it comes with a centre stand so it's easy to lube the chain. This may be the ideal bike for me, combining the things I liked about my Versys 1000 with what I like about my too heavy but very comfortable Voyager 1700 tourer.
Really interesting bike, it's been a marmite bike I think. A lot of people are really trashing it thanks for your thoughts, take care and ride safe 😊🖖🏼
Typical Honda. At that price point they could have afforded to put a shaft on and still remained highly competitive. I am sure it would have broadened their potential market. Blood bike groups being one.
Final day to register comments on possible closures of green lanes, BOATs etc. Check out this UA-cam video - very helpful. But we do need to get it done today: ua-cam.com/video/dU-mZ14P9rE/v-deo.html
If it wasn't for your sarky wit, and great videos, it would be like any other honda biased youtube channel, the cruise control is on the wrong side and the looks are duller than a dull thing....🤦♂️😅
😂 Grindr app when discussing the touchscreen display! 🤣👍
Well spotted Mike 🤣👍
Grindr comes preinstalled. Thankssss Honda!

Love the style in which you put together your videos. Thanks! Unfortunately we cannot get these on our side of the pond.
Fun review. I do wish it were a shaft drive vs the chain. I went in a smaller direction with a 2022 NC750X. Do wish it had that screen. Oh well, always a trade off and what keeps us coming back for the next bike.
Great review! Wasn't sure how I would feel about a video with no mud, but once again a sterling bit of work!! Keep 'em coming!!
Cheers Fergus, thansk for watching :D
Really enjoyed your review mate...down to earth no nonsense!
Köszönjük!

Always look forward to your videos...greetings from Costa Rica🇨🇷🇳🇱
Thanks for watching Bernard 👍 greetings from Scotland 🏴 😊
Very Nice and funny NT 1100 review and good to understand for a not native. Thank you for slow speaking sir.
It’s definitely a bike on my radar thank you great vid as always 👍🏍
Cheers Ian, worth a test ride for sure 👍
Totally beautiful, but I would not own a touring bike with a drive chain. My heart is still with my 2000 ST1100 for long distance rides.
Fair comment but a shaft on the 1100 would mean massive engineering changes, more cash! Take away the ‘extras’ it’s a £10k bike !
My 02 r1150rt. Same , no need for the update to dependance
@@Motoeuro Fair points.
IMO, belt drive would have been the best compromise. Chain drive alone would keep me from owning this bike.
@@GPz84 I totally agree with you. Belts and pulleys have proven themselves well. Have a friend with a 2008 FLHX with original rear belt, approaching 200,000 km.
I will stick with my NT700VA, for the shaft drive.
Nice work. Great edit. Thank you.
Cheers Joe :D
Nicely done ThankYou 👍
Yes it is a bit cold this month , it is good to see you becoming friends with the DCT gearbox
i think the foot-pegs placement are copied directly from the Africa Twin and are also meant for standing
and the only way to reach the ground are to keep one foot in front and the other behind the foot pegs 🦶
Thanks Svendus 👍
Excellent to see you make it to the bigtime marrer.
Ha ha! Big time? Why-eye! When Honda fly me to some sunnier place for test rides would be good! Cheers man :D
My favourite run to Carter Bar from North Tyneside via Otterburn cracking road .
Very informative video
Cheers Bob :D Yeah cracking road!
That app lineup in CarPlay, you have all the essentials covered for an enjoyable roadtrip! ;D
Oh yes..... ;D
Always great to watch reviews from exotic places like the tropical island of Scotland. Glad you had more fun with the NT than Rocketman did. Probably had something to do with the availability of some decent single malt.
No malts were harmed in the making…. 😀
I’ve just ridden one and decided to order partially thanks to your review. Great work 👍
Cheers Keith, it's a cracking bike! Enjoy :D all the best!
You’re right, coffee cup holder is the most important accessory! Here’s me thinking : adaptive radar, shaft drive, electric windscreen, electronic suspension et al…
Coffee cup holder? That’s a winner! 🤣 cheers!
Fair comments and much can be improve Honda ;)
Another gem from Captain Lugubrious 😀

It's a 100% road going Africa Twin - Easy, refined and has enough kick :D
I couldn’t get on with my AT DCT. Too tall and heavy for me. Now this looks like a much better bike for those who spend all their time on the road. If I didn’t have a deposit down on a GS or I would give it a go 🙂
Great concept but a face only its mother could love

Hey hey your back 👍
👍 Cheers Mucky!!!
His back?....
Nice bike, but why the chain drive? Honda should have engineered this bike with a shaft drive.
Exactly this. It would be a great Iron Butt Rally bike except for that chain.
Cost less
Ahh, the air is always "fresh" at Carter bar! 😂
I was looking for a new generation vfr800/1200 🥰
VFR900 please! 👍
Good review. This bike could be my next one after a fantastic VStrom 1000. What’s the name of the song?
If I was going to put a grand on the base price I'd skip the DCT and would prefer the ES. Works brilliant on my Africa Twin and for a touring bike would be very handy. Next generation add, Honda?
Fair point cheers Andrew
GRINDR on the Apple car play! :D
Come on Mate, give us a new video of 20 minutes of your voice, talk about anything! Looking forward to the next!
Without watching the video, the opening shot of you leaning against it
- tells me you want one.
I kind of do too, but it's way out of my budget.
Mine too! But thanks to a great team I at least got to play for a day 👍 thanks for watching
How loud are the turbulences in the different screen positions and compared to other bikes?
In lowest was fine, highest you’re covered! Middle a bit noisy. Pretty good overall depends on your height I guess 👍 worked for me, cheers!
@@Motoeuro Thanks a lot for your answer so far. May I ask you then how tall you are?
@@larifari4371 I’m 5 ft 11” 👍
@@Motoeuro Great, so I am covered too. THX
Thirty years ....and counting - New Honda XR650L 2022 ;-)
Lovely bike👍
Damn good lookin bike

Where does everyone live in Scotland? All you ever see is rolling green hills. Thanks :)
Covid lockdown....
Yes, you're damn right. But I still prefer my Africa. And about this phone, probably Honda is trying to suggest that you can stick it in your ...
Ha ha! Yup..... Velcro anyone?
Almost everybody has a tank bag attached on a touring bikes so it really isn't a big problem...
@@redbull4fly797 Not exactly. I only take my tank bag while travelling with my luggage. In other situations I does not use it at all. So I have since two years the same remark like Motoeuro.
hi, I also have a Honda NT1100 but I still can't get Android Auto, do you know why? Does the phone brand matter? Thank you
Hi, the NT will do both Android and iOS; It should operate fine - Please chat to your Honda dealer. Thank you.
Ni ok la untuk version trail 1100 gayezzzz,150 macam pocket bike pulak🤭🤭🤭
Great review though Honda is way too late. I sold my ST1100 Pan European and XL600V Transalp and moved to KTM. I fully believe the NT is capable and comfortable but also boring and (imho) ugly. But hey, this is just me. Everyone should just buy what they want and go out and have fun !
Honda are always late to any party! The NT is a good bike but I do hear you 👍 thanks for watching 😃
It's not just you, i have a NT700 now and i prefer that older look. Also boring but greater look, more balanced and agressive nose :-)
Good looking it is not. Subjective? Still...
I kinda like the looks, not for everyone but it’s a cracking bike! Cheers 👍

@@Motoeuro a can of nice paint will do wonders :p
Hi handsome
Great video. Please include a yoga pretrip stretch? Thanks
Looks and sounds boring. I don't want to stop and adjust the screen by hand. What century is this?
Exactly, it sounds like a V-twin and not smooth at all
Give us a brake
Typical Honda. At that price point they could have afforded to put a shaft on and still remained highly competitive. I am sure it would have broadened their potential market. Blood bike groups being one.

I hear ya! Still waiting.... apparently it'll be a 2024 bike with the new Hornet engine, yadda...yadda....
I never knew…..🙄

Well build? hmm, don't think so :) very plasticky everywhere.
It ‘feels’ good, the switchgear is nice and that seat is great 👍 worth checking out at your dealer if you’re interested 👍
