Vulcan Drifter Riders

New to the U.S. market for 2025, the Honda NT1100 DCT sport-tourer is based on the Africa Twin platform, is only available with Honda's Dual-Clutch Transmission in the U.S., and is powered by a 1,084cc parallel-Twin that makes 101 hp and 86.2 lb-ft of torque. It includes five riding modes, Selectable Torque Control, ABS, dual radial-mounted front brakes, and a 6.5-inch TFT display with Apple CarPlay.

We took the new NT1100 DCT on a spirited ride along canyon roads from Costa Mesa to Borrego Springs in California, testing the bike's features, handling, and performance. From the Dual-Clutch Transmission and high-revving engine to the Showa SFF-BP fork and adjustable windscreen, there's a lot to say about this sport-tourer. In this video review, Quinn Redeker shares his honest thoughts and impressions.
