Honda’s new Fireblade-powered sports tourer arrives in Australian dealerships in December. Pricing and full specifications for the new 2026 Honda CB1000GT have been released, with the bike set to arrive in Australian dealerships from December priced from $23,999 Ride Away.

Powered by a Fireblade-derived 1000cc inline four-cylinder engine, the CB1000GT has been developed specifically for sports touring, with revised engine tuning aimed at delivering smooth and accessible performance while retaining the character and performance expected from Honda’s litre-class four-cylinder platform.

The CB1000GT combines its engine with SHOWA Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (EERA) suspension, Cornering ABS and premium braking components. The motorcycle has a claimed kerb weight of 229kg excluding the panniers, with Honda targeting a balance between long-distance comfort and agile handling. Touring equipment is extensive, with detachable panniers fitted as standard, along with cruise control, heated grips, hand guards, a centre-stand and a five-position adjustable windscreen. A five-inch TFT display provides Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, navigation integration and USB-C charging.

“With premium touring features included as standard, the 2026 CB1000GT offers exceptional capability and value straight from the showroom,” said Chris Schultz, General Manager – Powersports and Products at Honda Australia.

“Bringing together the performance of Honda’s renowned litre-class four-cylinder platform with the comfort, technology and practicality riders expect from a modern sports tourer.”

The CB1000GT will be available in Grand Prix Red and is backed by Honda Australia’s six-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty conditions.

BikeReview has already sampled the CB1000GT

We’ve already had the opportunity to put some early kilometres on the new CB1000GT, with BikeReview taking the Honda for a quick test to get an initial impression of its performance, handling and sports-touring credentials. Our early ride showed the CB1000GT has plenty going for it, combining the character of Honda’s inline-four engine with a comfortable riding position, impressive semi-active suspension and genuine long-distance touring capability. We’ll be putting considerably more kilometres on the CB1000GT for a full BikeReview test, but our initial impressions are certainly positive.

Honda will also offer a range of Genuine Accessories for the CB1000GT, including LED fog lights, a weather-resistant pannier case set, a 50-litre top box with backrest and a 3-litre tank bag. The 50-litre top box is capable of carrying up to two helmets and has a maximum load capacity of 6kg, while the 3-litre tank bag includes a clear smartphone pocket and rain cover.

With its combination of Fireblade-derived performance, semi-active suspension, integrated luggage and extensive standard touring equipment, the CB1000GT enters the Australian market as a sports tourer aimed at riders who want long-distance capability without giving away the performance and character of a litre-class four-cylinder motorcycle.
