Thank you Lofty Biker for a very entertaining review!!

At last someone with a positive attitude to DCT . I fancy this model but every bike reviewer is negative about it and says go for the manual

[@davidwatts2046]

Excellent once again! Informative, precise and honest, good man. I think it's about 4 weeks now until I get mine and I CAN'T WAIT!

Just bought one the same NT1100 DCT blade at Stratford on Avon I will get it in May , your right it’s all about compromisers , I looked at so many from the Ninja 1000 to the triumphs and even a bmw , but there’s something I like about this bike it’s got character it might not have the curb appeal etc and it’s perfect for me and the mrs for touring. Great video loved it

I don’t own a NT1100 (I ride a Kawasaki GTR 1400) but I love watching reviews of other types & models. I like your no nonsense & honest reviews Lofty I would definitely consider one once my GTR gets too heavy for me. Ride safe

[@patentlord6396]

thanks. the experience from a tall person is priceless. I wish the bike had a shaft drive - the chain adjustment and lubrication is such a hassle (and all the grease dirt all over the bike)

[@geoff6942]

Good point about the fluctuating throttle lofty. I have no experience of the NT1100; I had the Forza 750, which was also fly by wire.

Great follow up video. I test rode the NT1100 at Damerells and knew nothing of the throttle issues on forums, but really noticed it on test ride, compared to my trusty DCT NT. It really put me off the bike. The sales guy was thoroughly nice but said no one else had told him about this, and he even test rode the bike to check it! (he said he couldn’t notice it). Great to see it documented so clearly in your review. I wanted to like the bike and was disappointed- my riding style must have really highlighted the slow speed lurchyness !

Love the Honda NT so far only had it a few days and just got the Android Auto up and running. Great channel keep up the good work.

I had a 23 Africa Twin, and the throttle was terrible on it. The twistgrip was loose side to side on the bars and the bike was anything but smooth. I approached the dealer and they were very unhelpful. I fitted a plastic washer between the bar end and the twistgrip, and it transformed the bike. Just gave the twistgrip a little bit of friction, but not enough resistance to stop the throttle from returning by itself. Amazing the difference a plastic washer made.

Great video Lofty Biker with a lot of useful info for me, especially just before decision to buy this Honda NT1100! Many thanks!

[@Martinhogman1959]

Echoing my thoughts lofty

[@saladrides]

Good and Honest Review Lofty!

[@martinwilkinson2344]

Thought about this to replace my NT700. Didn't really fit what I actually use the bike for, so moved on and got a Tracer 7. One plus point was the distinct lack of gizmos and buttons!

[@donniedickerson8077]

Im reviewing and shopping now , these are the two Bikes I'm stuck between,

[@grayman999]

Had my NT 1100 manual since last Autumn it’s better then the DCT Africa Twin 2018 model as a road bike but I like both bikes in equal measure DCT is excellent but personally I prefer Manual a fair review based on my personal experience

[@philliplum3845]

Great video mate. Ta Raa from a biking brummie 🤣

[@marcus577]

You did a test ride on the Forza 750dct and I bought it. Now I've traded in the motorcycle for the NT1100 DCT. I'm taking delivery on the 1st June 24. Íts just going to niggle me after all the years on brakes on both hands. I have to balance the rear brake with my foot.

[@timoakley277]

Watching the end bit about the cruise control reminds me that the speedo overeads quite a bit. Against my gps an indicated 70 is actually about 65.

[@ralfpeters8349]

I am riding also the NT 1100 model 2022 act and I agree with most of your points. I also love the bike and I am enjoying every ride. I do like your videos and wondering where you come from in the UK. I am from Germany near Düsseldorf area. Have you also added additional such a s front and rear fenders or something else? Best regards from a friend in Germany.
