Reportedly, emissions data already published in Germany indicates there will be two models, designated NT1100A and NT1100D, likely representing a traditional manual transmission model as well as a DCT version. That same German report indicates the engine is in the same mild state of tune as the Africa Twin … barely making more than 100 horsepower.
We are displaying several screenshots from the promotional video (which is at the bottom of this article). Notably, you can see that a clutch lever is missing from the top photo, indicating a DCT transmission.
The video also reveals generous passenger accommodations, including a backrest integrated into a rear top box. The stepped seat places the passenger significantly higher than the rider. You can also see a dual-screen instrument display in one of the profile screen-grabs.
Remember, this is Honda Europe promoting the October 21 reveal event, not Honda U.S. Nevertheless, we expect this model will be made available in the U.S., with announcement for the U.S. market occurring a bit later. Stay tuned.
