While the Gold Wing Pop-Up Museum was going down, Honda was already announcing all-new models were going up on the website and coming to dealer showrooms as soon as April. Continuing its legacy of innovation and excellence in the two-wheel on-road powersports market, American Honda unveiled three new additions for the 2025 model year—the CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP naked bikes, and the NT1100 DCT sport-touring machine. Already popular in Europe, these three models offer a mix of performance and style that is sure to be a hit in the U.S. “The CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP have earned praise for their thrilling performance and head-turning design, while the NT1100 DCT adds a great option for exhilarating touring experiences,” hints Honda’s Manager of Experiential Marketing, Colin Miller.
“We know American customers have been eager to see these exciting new models in the U.S., and we’re pleased to finally be able to confirm their availability here,” he adds. “The CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP carry on the legacy of the legendary CB name in the U.S., and we’re confident that our customers will be captivated by their capabilities. In addition, as the most popular sport-touring bike in Europe, the NT1100 DCT will extend and expand the tradition of touring Honda offerings.”
The Hornet CB1000 should be reaching dealers as early as April, while the CB750 and NT1100 should be here in May. The same Honda announcement revealed updates to popular models including the Rebel 300 and 500 cruisers, as well as the CRF300L, and CRF300L Rally dual-sport machines. In addition, the returns of nine other on-road motorcycle models were also confirmed.

2025 CB1000 Hornet SP
When a motorcycle’s description includes characteristics like a CBR1000RR-derived engine, a nimble chassis, Öhlins shock and eye-popping styling, “value” isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Yet, that’s a very appropriate adjective for the CB1000 Hornet SP, which grows Honda’s powersports family with a machine that’s entirely worthy of the heritage that goes with the CB name—but that comes with an extremely attractive MSRP. Taking all that into account, the all-new naked bike Stings Harder Than Ever, and is sure to take the U.S. market by swarm.

2025 NT1100 DCT
The NT1100 is a straightforward sport-touring machine, with a full feature list and a sporty edge to its performance—the sort of bike that deals with the weekday commute efficiently and is also ready for an extended tour, fully loaded. Designed to appeal to those with a memory of similar Honda machines from the past, but also to attract a much younger rider, it employs the frame and parallel-twin engine of the Africa Twin as a base, ensuring characterful, engaging performance, and it packs in features and technology that broaden any motorcycle’s appeal.
