Honda Australia has announced its 2026 lineup, adding the new sport tourer 'CB1000GT' and expanding its range of E-Clutch (electronically controlled clutch)-equipped models. This high-performance tourer, built on the CB1000 Hornet, is being launched early in the Australian market.
It's the CB1000GT! Looking at the spec sheet, it's a sport tourer based on the CB1000 Hornet, and the expansion of E-Clutch is exciting too. Compared to conventional tourers, this is a greedy design that adds comfort on top of naked-bike agility. This is the part I can't get enough of, a single bike you can enjoy on both long hauls and winding roads.

Wonder when this'll reach Japan — with Australia getting it first, it's hard to predict domestic launch timing.
What actually distinguishes a sport tourer from an adventure bike as a category?
Sport tourers are characterized by an on-road focus and long-distance comfort, without expecting off-road capability.
Reusing the Hornet platform looks efficient from a development standpoint, and it seems likely to expand into other regions too.
Launching the sport tourer early in Australia is a fitting choice given how deeply rooted the long-distance riding culture is there.
Expanding E-Clutch to more models really shows the tech steadily rolling out across the whole lineup.
Launching the CB1000GT — just being a tourer inheriting the CB1000 Hornet's guts already makes the spec sheet interesting.
