All-new 2026 Honda CB1000GT headed for Australia
Honda's new litre-class sports tourer is on its way to Australia, with expressions of interest now openHonda Australia has opened Expressions of Interest for the new 2026 Honda CB1000GT ahead of the sports tourer's local arrival later this year.
The Japanese brand says Australian pricing, final specifications and accessory details will be confirmed closer to the model's launch.
First revealed at the EICMA motorcycle show in late 2025, the CB1000GT is a new sports touring model based around a 1000cc inline four-cylinder engine derived from the CBR1000RR Fireblade.
Honda claims the engine produces 110kW and 102Nm, with revised tuning aimed at delivering smoother power delivery for touring duties rather than outright sports performance.

The CB1000GT will be equipped with Honda's Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA) suspension, Cornering ABS and throttle-by-wire, while the claimed kerb weight is 229kg, excluding the standard panniers.
Touring equipment fitted as standard includes detachable panniers, cruise control, heated grips, hand guards, a centre stand and a five-position adjustable windscreen. A five-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, navigation functionality and a USB-C charging port also features.
Honda Australia General Manager of Powersports and Products Chris Schultz said the new model is intended to bridge the gap between sports bike performance and long-distance touring.
"The 2026 CB1000GT combines the performance and character that riders love from Honda's 1000cc sports motorcycles with the comfort, technology and practicality needed for sports touring," Schultz said.
The CB1000GT will initially be offered in Grand Prix Red for the Australian market.
Honda has opened Expressions of Interest through its dealer network and website for customers interested in securing one of the first Australian-delivered motorcycles. Australian pricing and the full model specification are expected to be announced closer to launch.
