The 1000 cc four-cylinder produces 91 kW and delivers 103 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 230 km/h. According to Honda, the engine's rhythm is reminiscent of motorcycles from the 1980s.

Throttle by Wire enables three riding modes and two custom settings for power, torque control and engine braking. Also on board are a 6-axis IMU and ABS with cornering function.

Controls, connectivity and Smart Key

You operate the 5-inch colour TFT display via the left handlebar controls. Honda RoadSync pairs your smartphone via Bluetooth for calls, music, weather and navigation, controlled via the handlebar switches and voice prompts.

With the Honda SMART Key you unlock, start and lock the motorcycle without a key in the lock. This is practical in everyday use, for example during short stops on the road.
