Honda Motorcycles 2026: EICMA 2025 Reveals Exciting New Line-Up

Honda has unveiled an exciting new range of motorcycles for 2026 at EICMA 2025 in Milan. From the all-new CB1000GT sport-tourer to the debut of the full-sized electric WN7, plus the expanded E-Clutch system, Honda is catering to riders of all levels and styles. Here’s what UK riders need to know about the 2026 Honda line-up.

CB1000GT: The Ultimate Sport-Touring Machine

The CB1000GT perfectly balances high-performance thrills with touring comfort. Using an engine derived from the CB1000 Hornet (and Fireblade lineage), it offers a powerful, high-revving ride while remaining comfortable for long distances.

Top Features:

• Electronically adjustable suspension (Showa EERA) for smooth, stable handling.

• Advanced tech: throttle-by-wire, six-axis IMU cornering ABS, quickshifter, heated grips, cruise control, and Honda RoadSync connectivity.

• Touring essentials: centre stand, aerodynamic bodywork, and integrated panniers.

Whether carving twisty roads or cruising on motorways, the CB1000GT is a standout option for UK riders in 2026.

WN7: Honda’s First Full-Sized Electric Motorcycle

The WN7 marks Honda’s first full-sized electric motorcycle, delivering zero-emission riding without compromising style or functionality.

Key Specs and Features:

• Battery & Motor: 9.3 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with an 18 kW motor, providing approximately 140 km of range.

• A2 Licence Friendly: Accessible for a wide range of riders in Europe and the UK.

• Fast Charging: Compatible with CCS2 charging infrastructure (20% → 80% in roughly 30 minutes) and home charging.

• Advanced Technology: Multiple riding modes, Walking Speed mode, Regenerative Deceleration Selector, Selectable Speed Limit Assist, cornering ABS, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).

• Sleek Design: Futuristic, slim profile with Honda’s new logo and frameless chassis styling.

The WN7 is perfect for riders looking to explore electric mobility on a full-sized machine, not just a commuter scooter.

E-Clutch System Expands Across Honda Models

Honda’s E-Clutch, allowing clutchless gear changes while retaining manual control, is now available on five more 2026 models: XL750 Transalp, CB750 Hornet, NX500, CBR500R, and CB500 Hornet.

Why Riders Will Love It:

• Shift gears without using the clutch lever, or use it manually if preferred.

• Automatic throttle blipping on downshifts for smoother transitions, especially useful off-road.

• First-time availability on A2-licence-friendly models, making it ideal for newer riders.

This expansion makes Honda’s E-Clutch more accessible and versatile than ever.

Other Exciting Updates

• SH125i Scooter: Bold refresh with sharper styling, 5-inch TFT display, inspired by the SH350i.

• CB1000F: European debut with retro-inspired naked styling and Fireblade-derived performance.

• New Colours and Apparel: Updated finishes on NC750X, Gold Wing, and other models, plus a 2026 riding gear collection.

• Fun Collaboration: Two custom bikes wrapped with the Sanrio character ‘Kuromi’, appealing to younger and alternative riders.
