The Best New & Updated Honda Motorcycles For 2025!

[@motobob]

A reminder that Motorcycle Live is on until the 24th, so if you fancy having a look at the bikes yourself I'd recommend getting down there! :)

[@kloppskalli]

isn't the new Hornet headlight the same as in the Transalp?

[@gtrguy17]

Agreed. Another thing about Honda is not releasing bikes in the USA.

[@vinterskog]

The NC750X not getting cruise control while the similar-ish X-ADV getting it as standard is a deal-breaker for me to upgrade my older NC. Too bad, Honda.

[@kalaharimine]

You should thank your older NC for making you a better rider, and saving on purchase cost and future dealer expenses.

[@MyKharli]

my 2012 nc700 will clearly last forever .

[@vinterskog]

@@kalaharimine I do, but I was hoping for a more comfortable long-distance experience with a cruise control. Even my Rebel 1100, which is more "fun-oriented" than comfort, has one.

[@Geshmaal]

Seriously! Make it a £300 option and everyone who buys an NC will add it. Honda would have the cheapest bike from a reputable brand on the market with cruise control so they'll guarantee a sale to practically-minded riders over say a Tracer 7 or Versys 650. They're throwing away potential sales at this point.

[@vinterskog]

@@Geshmaal Couldn't agree more. Currently considering a Tracer 7, especially if it gets the AMT treatment.

[@Vegesaurus7]

Those new headlights are such a big improvement. I like them. As a Honda fan so glad to see.

[@Groagun]

Finally, thank you! A video that goes through the entire lineup. Hope you do this with all the other name plates. Well done

[@motobob]

We've got 10 of these on the way for each of the major stands at the show 👍

[@Geshmaal]

Big fan of the new GB350 and CL500, Honda is missing a trick by not having a classic style bike with the 750 engine. Give me my GB750 or CL750!

[@alanriozzi421]

Rebel 750 please

[@waveman1500]

Yes, I want a CL750!

[@femijohn7038]

Great that you're here. Now I'm won't miss out any great news at Motorcycle Live. Thanks Bob for all that you do.

[@crimpyjugs5680]

Good to chat to you at the Triumph stand yesterday, i appreciate you taking the time to talk when you’re busy filming. Get yourself down to Nathan’s, you’ll have a great day. See you out and about over the Medips, ride safe!

[@motobob]

Good to meet you both too! Appreciate you saying hello 👍

[@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw]

CL500, the foot peg was an issue when you pushed the sucker around. It was always in the way of the trailing foot when you had to push.

[@iansmith237]

I know it's sacrilege but I absolutely love the design of the fun concept. That and their V3 have gotten me very excited for what they're going to be putting out in the next few years. And obviously they deserve all the applause for the CB1000 Hornet. I imagine I'll see far more of those on the streets than Streetfighters or beemers.

[@Spy_Pigeon_2]

V3 was cool in a two stroke

[@pandorasboxduluth]

Its criminal that Honda isnt bringing the GB350 to the United States. What a beautiful modern retro bike!

[@byhsu6140]

I concur. Beautiful!!!.

[@kevincarver4759]

nobody gonna buy that

[@jesterm7597]

Possibly the best value for money bike at the entire show

[@joeln6861]

It probably would sell relatively well in the US- comparable to the Triumph speed 400 and Royal Enfield 350/450 bikes as well as the new Kawasaki 230, and I think it looks better than all of those except the Triumph.

[@dem1456]

This my dream first bike. Really hope they would bring it to North America

[@NvrGoATM]

so glad they gave the NC750X some more color options!

[@markf5437]

GB350 makes a lot of sense, great vid as usual

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

I'm pissed they are not releasing the NT1100 to the US market and what's going on with the Goldwing?

[@michaelskinner896]

Honda is so out of touch with the American market. The tiny little crumbs they throw our way is a slap in the face knowing what they have in their "rest of the world" line-up. Oh, and the colorways we get too - just pathetic. I also noticed that Bob didn't mention the GW.

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

@@michaelskinner896 He did mention that the NT1100 will come to the US in May. I would rather have that then the goldwing. The goldwing is just to big of a bike for what I need. The NT1100 would be perfect. Honda just offers the US their bigger bikes which aren't super popular.

[@easyrider4x]

I didn't hear his comment about the e NT1100 coming to the USA in May.

[@michaelskinner896]

@@easyrider4x Yeah, I didn't either. I'm not sure where BlackBirdieGolf got this information.

[@craigcooper8810]

love the new headlights on the transalp im a 2023 TA owner thanks bob!!

[@motobob]

👍👍👍

[@max30888]

It was beyond expectations.. Where's the GB 750 retro , tubeless transalp with cruise control, A bobber rebel1100, 1100 scrambler, An 1800 cc muscle cruiser with an American Harley Davidson soul , A cb400 retro ? Basically it's the same bikes from the previous years ..

[@ChristopherErickson-o8c]

Transalp headlight update is sweet!

[@Cedar77]

The 3 cylinder is the most interesting one overall. Imagining a naked bike, would be wonderful.

[@AnthosKlox]

Yeah, something like a Triumph eater...

[@Cedar77]

@AnthosKlox You mean triple? If so, yea! Only with the style of a Japanese bike. :)

[@rleerm]

I do not fancy these manga / autobots style headlights on modern Japanese bikes. At all. I prefer round headlights, wide double lights with limited glass area, or square (retro 😊!) headlights. There are so many bikes to choose from these days that headlight design can be a deal breaker for me.

[@rkr6237]

Me too. Can the retro twin headlight setup be easily fitted in place of the existing lights? Hope so

[@nomdeploom5707]

Call me old school but I just cannot take to these pointy naked headlights. That said, the new iterations do look better than the previous versions.

[@chrisodriscoll3077]

I'm with you on that. I have a feeling a lot of Honda's current range is going to look very , very dated in the not so distant future.

[@franklang3211]

Hiya. I was at Motorcycle live today. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I even go to say hi to your very good self. I'm debating whether or not to get a second bike as an addition to my T100. If I do then it's going to be between the Royal Enfield Guerilla and the Triumph Speed 400. I've test ridden the Speed 400 but not, as yet, the Guerilla. That's on my to do list. Thanks Motobob and keep the content coming. I love your Channel 😊

[@CaptainFeathersword]

You are very lucky in the UK to have access to so many models. In Canada we still cannot buy the 750 Hornet.

[@easyrider4x]

Nor the NT1100DCT.

[@IggyWildcat]

And when we do finally get them, they'll only be offered in black or grey. 😅

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

lots awesome bikes for sure! headlight looks cool. any word on 50th anniversary wing ????

[@TwinPotMan]

Thanks MotoBob, another great line-up review. Honda's getting better all the time but I still don't get the Rebel styling; where the tank meets the frame looks unfinished!

[@dcijams]

(1:48) the last bike I sprayed was a 1979 CB 750K, I didn't like the red color and changed it to Metalica plumb (and sure enough) the movie purple rain came out, and it was the same color.

[@peterwilliams1004]

Don't knock sharing parts. It makes new spares cheaper and second hand parts more readily available.

[@sarnbradshaw7382]

Liking that Rebel 1100

[@motobob]

Same! Looks great in orange - hopefully get one to test next year 👍

[@JD-time-to-go]

Wish they would bring that 750 Adventure scooter to the US. Great video MOTOBOB 👍

[@GIGABACHI]

BIG MONEY MaxiscooterS don't sell well in the USA.

[@NicTheRip]

Saw you yesterday! Was doing some shooting for another content creator but you and your camera man had a nice setup man The triumph stand was rammed!! Good luck for the rest of the event

[@valhallamoto]

Hornet front went from looking like the cb500f to any of the Kawasaki Z bikes. Watch them refresh again in 2 years

[@GIGABACHI]

LMAO, I thought the same ! Kawasaki lights on Hondas. 😆

[@raymondlyle663]

It was great meeting you on the Honda stand yesterday thank you for taking the time to chat to my wife and I. All the best 👍🏻

[@motobob]

Great to meet you too! Thanks for saying hello 👍

[@alexiliescu3328]

So no tubeless and cruise control for the Transalp in 2025... It would have been perfect.

[@JustAnumbr]

Aftermarket cruise control is $300 usd. Tubeless would add $$$. Happy with mine not having either of those. I could have paid 4k more for a KTM or BMW.

[@Choicesoftarun]

Honda is becoming boring

[@malcolmpatton9314]

New headlights great improvement 350 single been on sale here in oz for while but never seen one one road

[@coreys8070]

The gb350 has been for sale in Australia for a year and made in Japan. The cb350 is basically the same bike but made in India for the Indian market

[@petewatson9866]

I love the NC 750 in that Khaki green, I have always wanted to try the X-AVD but it has no ground clearance compared with a real adv bike

[@SudeepC1973]

Completely agree. It’s very nice to see unique look from the front.

[@matthatter93]

I wish the NT1100 came to the US

[@sunrisejak2709]

Rumor is the NT1100 might be coming to USA in 2025. 🤞I have one in SE Asia and it's one of my all time favorite bikes.

[@KennethEllsworth-wj5dw]

It is coming to the US but only being offered to law enforcement (for now) Honda is just teasing us before it's offered to us lowly civilians

[@RainnMakerr]

On the new TransAlp,Mini twin round headlight would have looked very good and full of character. Honda is making good bikes, and just need to up their games on the looks and character of the bike. Two twin legacy round Dakar style lights would look amazing and more like a baby Africa twin. Same goes for the hornet, the lights look like any other naked these days.

[@nikhilpadhiar2273]

MASSIVE improvement ont he Hornet 750 headlight!! Enought to tempt me to actually buy one now!

[@chrisd4228]

Already put my order in for the new Rebel 1100T. I did a test ride on the 2024 and really liked that but with these changes it is even better for me.

[@marcusgeorge1825]

There is a reason for the delay on the GB350. As in Australia we got them straight away. Then Honda placed a stop on them as they were issued with a recall (almost 12 months in delays post the initial launch). It sells ok for learners wanting a more retro and/or less power than you can actually ride when on a restricted license.

[@NBMBC40]

Good to see you today Bob Tuesday 19th by the CF Moto stand, boys from Bristol.

[@markdixon4912]

Was there no gold wing?Hoping they would have released the 2025 gold wing , 50 year anniversary

[@aromaticsnail]

That V3 platform concept would fit like a glove in a new VTX cruiser...

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

That v3 sounds really exciting on a cafe style road bike. I would even like to build one. Otherwise, i might ride the 1000 Hornet SP.

[@carlosandleon]

Cafe racers are sooo 2015

[@williamrae9954]

When a scooter is £2200 more than a Fireblade motor'd Hornet,Honda needs to review wheir pricing?

[@volt8684]

They need to check their prices for everything the chinese are zooming up

[@shivamarya5225]

The scooter is like 2 times bigger tho

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

The Hornet looks horrible. Great video bro!

[@drozdforce8853]

u gonna be droppin that jaw seeing me ripping the road with it lol

[@jimporter]

Those 500s have blown it for Honda! They show that Honda does have some bright coloured paint available in their warehouse. Just a shame they don’t use them on more bikes.

[@larrys.3992]

Rebel 1100 is pretty sweet! This comment coming from a HD rider. Hay, nobody’s perfect!

[@roviwoteap2375]

Thought the GB350 looked really nice at the show - solid, rugged build. 👍

[@motobob]

High on the list of 2025 bikes to review for sure! Just wish it had a tiny bit more pep, but should still be pleasant enough

[@roviwoteap2375]

@@motobob Good to meet you yesterday on your he Royal Enfield stand. I really liked the looks of the RE Guerrilla.

[@urbanstrencan]

Love the CB750 new front looks, but now we need updates to CB1000R Neo Sports Cafe❤❤❤ Great video keep it up

[@motobob]

Thanks mate! Agree hope they keep the CB1000R, but wonder how many they'll sell with the 1000 Hornet at £8,999?!

[@eternalliving7453]

I love the new headlights on both of the 750's

[@antonoat]

A V3 very interesting, got to wonder what that would sound like! Great update/ review, I also like that you included the specs on the screen, have a sub from me. Cheers!

[@JohnFolpp]

Great commentary and presentation Appreciate it.

[@forrestspencer7846]

750 transalp is on my list. Definitely will be looking for one in at the dealerships.

[@muzzab32]

I brought a 2023 Hornet 750, a wee fairing helps the looks, I don't think the new headlight is much of an improvement. But, I enjoy riding, not really looking at bikes and the Hornet 750 is great fun to ride. I was expecting to see an "R" fully faired version to go aginst the Suzui GSX-8R and the Yamaha R7 though.

[@martinslater381]

Honda, Electric and budget, oh dear, well they made some good bikes along the way, fond memories and farewell

[@aromaticsnail]

Any idea if the GB350S is the model rumored not along ago that mentioned the new JDM CB400 would come to Europe?

[@IanSixbikes-by6ei]

The Transalp headlamp is definitely a welcome change and one that differentiates it from it's lesser brethren in the Honda range , can't say I'm a fan of the grey paint option as it looks like undercoat , as for the CB1000, the SP looks great and has to be the best value for money large capacity naked on the market today.

[@bigred8438]

The great thing about the GB350 is the massive stroke at 90mm with a bore of only 60mm so that should produce decent torque for such a small bike not relying much on high revs to get the job done. Would consider the 750 tourer with DCT, but like the idea of NT1100. Just can't afford it.

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

What no Gold Wings in the UK?

[@petersparrowhawk8092]

Wye o Wye have Honda not added the DCT to the XL750, its a very good system. So I am looking at the MT-09GT as soon as I can.

[@Milen4u]

The main changes with the Euro 5+ are in the exhaust system (the catalytic convertors) and not so much in the engine.

[@frankmaiorano710]

Great info - I’m excited about the new 1100 DCT T upgrades. As an owner of a 2024 - a few things on my wishlist are coming true. HONDA - IF YOU’RE LISTENING - my dream would be an 1100 DCT T with all the highest end specs and options - but revolutionizing the moto world of mid-touting- yet on a smaller bike than a Goldwing, or Indian or Harley bagger. Why not have an optional top trunk - or a real sport touring version - maybe bump the engine to 1300 to compete with a BMW RT - add a true TFT with Nav and yes - a radio with Sirius and Bluetooth - there’s room in a revised batwing. It can be done and we’d have a low seat height, electronic wind screen, much lighter than a Goldwing, but many of its benefits - it’d be awesome! Think Goldwing but much smaller, lower, lighter, but most of the same accessories for touring. Honda?! Bob?

[@Chenzoman]

Thank you MotoBob, love your vids.

[@shmac96]

how is a scooter with the same moter as the NC750X almost 12k? I dont get it. Someone please help me understand. The GB looks like a fun little bike. Glad they upgraded those headlights on the new 750s.

[@TonyTesoriero]

What no Goldwing?

[@iandtexarkana4549]

Have you heard anything about the Honda VTX 1800?

[@tommybruce1000]

I had a 2021 Super Duke GT. I've had a lot of ridiculously fast bikes but I've never been on a bike that scared me as much as that bike! When you give it full throttle it felt like the bike was going to throw you off that's how hard it pulled. Unfortunately it started having electrical problems and it wouldn't start on the regular. I took it back to the dealer several times for the same issue. After they fixed it the last time I sold the bike. I absolutely love look of the 2025 but after the experience I had with the last one I can't bring myself to buy another one. So I went and got Triumph. I've had alot good experiences with their bikes.

[@rogerkay8603]

Loving my CB500 Hornet commuter, seriously thinking now to chop both it and my XSR900 in and use one bike for all

[@ronaldthibodeau6340]

I've been barking up the tree for a V3 for a LONG time! Seems like the perfect ICE M/C motor to me.

[@rubo1964]

After all the hype no GB750 bummer.Was waiting for it....

[@chrisodriscoll3077]

Out of everything I've seen the only thing to jump out for me was the retro CB350. Not just because I'm a fan of retro bikes but also because they reminded me of what beautiful bikes honda used to make and sadly don't anymore. It seems they disappeared down a rabbit whole of sharp angles and straight lines a few years back .

[@vnsk]

Does the 2025 Transalp come with tubeless tyres... The only thing that put me off buying one...

[@richardcerritelli9657]

Bob I have a question for you seems like I can't get any information anywhere will they ever offer a Superbike as an automatic like a Hayabusa something that's high-powered that's gas powered all the automatics now kind of boring for me and I definitely want an automatic no clutch something like at least Mt 10

[@AyaWetts]

I wish several of these were available in the USA

[@chicagoui9299]

Moto Bob. Is Yamaha really dropping the wr700f sm for 2025?

[@AnthosKlox]

I wonder why Honda is not doing a Hornet 1100? A twin cylinder naked is more appealing to me than a slightly underpowered 4 inline cylinder 1000cc naked bike. I think there's heaps of choice, cross plane MT-10, or a SuperDuke or even the BMW R1250R makes more sense.

[@Markevans63]

Nice can, tail tidy and that Hornet 1000sp will look the Mutts 👌

[@Jonte_W]

I go for the Transalp if the tire is tubeless. Sorry for my eng.

[@codenamedefault]

Can you show off the Yamaha lineup? I'm personally interested in the new MT07!

[@grabulho]

I's like to see that V3 in a sport bike!

[@johnrovere2286]

I believe it is very difficult to get to the airfilter in the honda transalp, which was one of the major reasons I didn't buy one....

[@Dushyant933]

Would love to see you at IBW 2025 (Indian Bike Week) in India.

[@seth_goodwin]

Imagine a GB750RS.

[@cascarification]

Eso estoy esperando un cb750 o un cl750. Tambien espero un yamaha xsr700 nueva. Alguna de esas 3 probablemente sea mi proxima moto.

[@danielthatcher5345]

Yep!

[@Kurtistrange]

Be amazing the Hornet is a great bike but can't get past the way it looks.

[@krollpeter]

... and please with key, classic dual gauge dashboard, and a simple ABS. No cruise control, lane assist, or fart detector.

[@seth_goodwin]

@ I mean, I’ll take cruise control. Never being able to give my right wrist a break is uncomfortable. As a city bike, sure, why have it? But I don’t live in such a place.

[@dIsAstErTR]

Imagine paying 11k for XADV when NT1100 is 12k.

[@GJS-live]

Yup. And even the NC750 is close cost-wise once specced up. Think I’ll buy a year old 2025 model in 2026 :)

[@GJS-live]

NT1100 that is.

[@TheZanshen]

I’ll stick with my v4 1200x crosstourer dct. A superb machine with minimal electronics to go wrong but enough to keep you safe ie ABS & traction control.

[@andrews5093]

Love the NC750X...just wonder why Honda isn't selling this in Canada

[@kevinirle2931]

good video. Going to write to Honda Australia and beg them to let us have the NC750 DCT......they might listen😀

[@hakankillberg6043]

Any news for the 2025 cbr650r, any upgrades? Its the best looking bike out there

[@Texasgolf]

Will the 2025 Transalp have 90hp in the US

[@corychartier7961]

So do you not have Gold wings in Europe?

These are new and updated bikes for 2025 - no updates to the Wing this year I'm afraid...

[@dulcimerjunkie8516]

Where is the new Shadow lineup? What is Honda holding out for?

[@CaffeineThrottle]

You didn't cover any CBR RR's. I saw a couple as the camera panned at beginning of video.🤔

[@PeterRides247]

The X-Adv isn't in Canada where I am.... but God damn if I don't think it's awesome. I love my Harley, but scooters just make me smile, and capable scooters doubly so

[@johnernst8718]

If I was to buy an electric bike, it would be for commuting only. I would want it cheap, like an ever-grown bicycle, with luggage, so I can bring everything I would in a car. Such as: I need my gym clothes, my laptop and papers,, my lunch and water bottle, or to get "some" groceries. Also, when my kids start to get older, they can take school supplies, gym clothes and sports equipment. It needs a good way to lock it up and store the helmet. Fast and nimble but not necessarily for the highway, but not be a scooter either.

[@artstar5994]

Love the 350 and the price! To The States!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Rebel 1100.... I can only imagine what happens to those 16-18 inch cantilevered rider pegs in a crash, or if a hunk of road debris shot up between your foot and the engine case (like if you had to serve around something and you didn't clear it very much). Would rip those things right off. Such an odd design to attach the rider's pegs from a frame point so far backward.

[@808islandlife_HI]

any idea why Honda doesn't sell the CB750 in the US?

[@TheBlueDogMan]

Folks here in the United States think 750s are too small. It’s not that’s what they think.

[@ever-eddy8541]

.........at the front of the NT1100 just below the screen the NT looks like the NVT logo (Norton Villiers Triumph)!

[@mohammedislam8992]

Completely agree regarding the Hornet and its headlights. The Hornet was released looking dated immediately. MT looks aggressive, this update makes the bike look more aggressive and should do well.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Z900 update... what do you think of it's "eyes"?

[@mohammedislam8992]

@ looks aggressive from the side. But they are all starting to look the same with their single unit design. Think Ducati and even Triumph do a good job with their lights

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Reminds me of the 2014 Z1000, a squinty eyed small headlight nacelle.
