Honda Introduces the NT1100 Police Motorcycle for U.S. Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies across the United States have a new option for their motorcycle fleets. Honda has officially announced the NT1100 Police motorcycle, a model designed specifically for policework and tailored to meet the demands of motor officers. Set to be available in May 2025, this new addition to Honda’s lineup promises a blend of performance, maneuverability, and reliability that law enforcement agencies can count on.
Built for the Beat
Based on Honda's NT1100 sport-touring motorcycle—a hit in the European market—the NT1100 Police incorporates the same parallel-twin engine found in the CRF1100L Africa Twin. Known for its engaging performance and smooth handling, this engine offers a balance of power and efficiency. Combined with Honda's signature lightweight frame, the NT1100 Police is designed to excel in tight spaces and urban environments where maneuverability is key.
Features Tailored for Law Enforcement
What sets the NT1100 Police apart from its consumer counterpart is its law-enforcement-specific features. The model includes:
Pannier Bags: Providing ample storage for essential gear.
Wiring Harness: Simplifying the addition of custom police equipment like lights and sirens.
Engine Guard & Rear Bumper: Adding durability and protection.
Document Box: Offering secure, convenient storage for paperwork.
Seat Cowl: Enhancing rider comfort during long shifts.
Agencies can also further customize their motorcycles with additional components available through Honda's approved vendors, ensuring the bikes meet the unique needs of different jurisdictions.
Performance and Comfort Combined
In addition to its utility, the NT1100 Police boasts a range of comfort-focused features adapted from the consumer NT1100. A protective fairing, adjustable windscreen, LED lighting, and a plush seat ensure that officers remain comfortable during long hours on patrol. Electronic rider aids, such as advanced traction control and ride modes, further enhance safety and usability.
Proven Reliability
Honda has a storied history of providing reliable motorcycles for law enforcement, as demonstrated by the success of the police version of the ST1300. The NT1100 Police builds on that legacy, delivering the same reliability and value that agencies have come to expect from Honda.
Pricing and Availability
With a competitive MSRP of $14,499, the NT1100 Police offers a cost-effective solution for motorcycle units. Orders can be placed exclusively through Honda’s Powersports Fleet/Government Purchase Program, with units available starting in May 2025.
The Future of Police Motorcycles
As motor officers increasingly rely on motorcycles for their agility and accessibility, the Honda NT1100 Police provides a compelling new option. Its combination of cutting-edge technology, thoughtful design, and Honda’s legendary reliability makes it a strong contender for agencies seeking to upgrade their fleets.
