Honda has unveiled the sport tourer "CB1000GT" for Europe, with immediate availability in the UK and Europe. Producing 148 horsepower, it builds on the naked Hornet with longer-travel suspension, a taller windscreen, hand guards, a center stand, and a thicker seat. With a roughly 20.8-liter fuel tank, it weighs about 229kg and is priced at £11,999 in the UK.

Pushing the CB1000 Hornet's heart up to 148hp and building it into a tourer — I love this kind of differentiated engineering. From the same naked-bike skeleton, they add a screen, center stand, and longer suspension travel — reworking it into something else entirely for its purpose. Honda's range of tricks, shaping this much character out of a shared platform, gives me plenty to compare against the old model.

Handguards and a thicker seat coming standard from the start is a thoughtful design touch.

£11,999 is more than the CB1000F, so is the equipment difference what accounts for the price gap?

A 20.8L tank at 229kg curb weight is on the lighter side for this class, isn't it?

Honda's always given the 'GT' badge a highway-cruising-king kind of finish, historically.

Against the Hornet's naked-bike positioning, this one goes firmly for touring — nice clear segmentation.

148hp plus a center stand on a tourer is a welcome spec for anyone loading it up with luggage.
