Today I am going to share some Best Honda New Motorbikes in United States. Good afternoon dear readers, another quick update from Ika here in Milan where we are back in the main Auditorium where we were earlier on for Honda’s main new model press conference.
And we have got a little bit of time on the stage with basically pretty much all of Honda’s new 2025 models.
Honda GB350S
The one that I’ve selected to talk to you about first is the GB 350s, because it’s another big news story from Honda.
They’ve had quite a lot of big news stories this year. The big news is that this bike is finally making it out of the Asian continent and it is coming to Europe and the UK.
Which is good, because there was a lot of noise made when this thing was released, and people were saying, “Why isn’t it coming to the UK? Why isn’t it coming to Europe? Why is it staying as an Asian market-only bike?” But it’s not anymore it is coming.
GB350S Specification
It is a 20 horsepower bike, it’s got 21 lb-ft of peak torque, air-cooled, single overhead cam engine, two-valve, single-cylinder. Mechanically, it’s about as simple as motorcycling gets, which I think is something that appeals to a lot of people.
Motorcycles are getting ever more complicated and electronically focused, and this is a bike that harks back to an era where none of that mattered and none of it even existed.
Pricing and Target Market
It is also priced to sell this thing is going to be landing in UK dealerships at £3,949. It’s going to be going toe-to-toe with bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and some of the other retro stuff in that lightweight A2 sector.
But it is very, very competitive a long-stroke engine, so it’s going to have this nice sort of soulful feel that Honda are talking about.
NOTE:- It’s important to note this bike is not a Thai-built bike. This is made in Honda’s own proper factories back in Japan. This is a bike that we have really been looking forward to getting in the UK and personally can’t wait to get myself on one to see how it goes.
GB350S Riding Feel
So, not massively powerful, not massively techy, but it should be enjoyable to ride. It is 178 kg is the quoted curb weight for this one, so it is definitely not what you would call a porker.
But really, it is a bike that is meant to look nice and be enjoyable to ride and be accessible to a lot of people which is why bikes in this middleweight and lightweight A2 sector really do thrive.
As Royal Enfield and Triumph with the Speed 400 are showing at the moment by selling lots and lots of motorcycles.
Honda NC750X 2025
Moving on from the GB 350s, we have come to probably not what you would call the most exciting motorcycle that is at EICMA.
But it is probably one of the most loved by people who own them. It is of course Honda’s NC 750X, which this year has got a big upgrade to the front end.
Front-End Upgrade and Braking System
You’ve got dual Nissin brake discs at the front with two-piston calipers. It was a single disc setup so they’re both slightly smaller discs, but should give much better brake feel and more braking power.
Tech Features
You’ve also got revised styling so it’s been smartened up, which is a very nice touch. You’ve got a new TFT screen.
And you’ve got a new actual windscreen as well which should provide a little bit better weather protection than it did before.
Engine Performance
Suspension-wise, we’ve got 41 mm Showa dual bending valve forks. We have got a Pro-Link monoshock with preload adjustability.
The engine is still the same easygoing and nice to get along with 58 bhp and 50 lb-ft, which is also available as a manual or as a DCT bike (which is the one that you can see me standing behind here).
Like I said, it’s not the most sparkling bike, but in terms of practicality in a bike that you can just get on every day and ride and use as a proper workhorse the NC750 is revered as that by pretty much everybody who has ever owned one or ridden one.
Hornet TH000 SP
Now we’re going to be going to the next bike, which is probably one of the more exciting bikes in the Honda lineup for 2025. So from the NC 750X, we come to this which is the Hornet TH000 SP.
What’s New in the SP Model?
We already know about the Hornet TH000. We kind of had an inkling that the SP was going to be coming from some type of documents that got published.
But this is it in the flesh, and we can finally tell you exactly how it is different from the stock bike. This is £9,999. The standard Hornet 1000 is £8,999.
Upgraded Chassis and Suspension
Over and above the standard bike, this gets an upgraded chassis. So you get the same Showa fully adjustable front forks, but you get an Ohlin’s TTX rear shock absorber which is obviously a much more higher-spec item than you get on the stock bike.
Color Scheme and Visuals
It is available in this color scheme, which I am really very happy about because I think it looks absolutely brilliant. Matte ballistic black with the sexy gold wheels which is absolutely fantastic.
Engine Specs
Powering this thing we’ve got a 155 bhp engine, which is taken from one of the older generation Fire blades and has been fettled and tweaked and played with to make it a bit more in the realm of what you would want from a super naked such as this.
But this looks like a properly good bike. It’s not too track-focused like a lot of other super naked are. It’s more in a road-focused naked machine.

Honda’s Electric Concepts
Aside from these bikes that we’ve looked at, we’ve also got some electric offerings as well including:
- An Urban EV
- A concept which is a bit like a sort of urban city plus concept for EV
- A fun bike concept from Honda as well
And there is also the V3 Concept which has got an electrically powered compressor sort of like an electrically powered turbo mounted on top of the V3 engine.
Conclusion:
There’s a lot of interesting stuff, and if you want to find out more about the V3 then there’s many article are available on Google you can check and read.
