ALPHARETTA, Ga. — American Honda has introduced a new motorcycle specifically designed for law enforcement agencies in the United States, according to a news release.

The NT1100 Police is based on the popular NT1100 sport-touring model currently sold in Europe and is tailored to meet the needs of U.S. motorcycle units, according to the release. It will be available through Honda’s Powersports Fleet/Government Purchase Program, with orders starting in May.



The NT1100 Police incorporates comfort and safety features from the civilian NT1100, including an adjustable windscreen, LED lighting and electronic rider aids. Additionally, the model is equipped with law enforcement-specific components, such as pannier bags, a wiring harness for customization, an engine guard, a rear bumper, a document box and a seat cowl. Agencies can further customize the bike with additional accessories from approved vendors, according to the release.

“Motorcycle units understand the advantages two-wheel vehicles offer over automobiles,” said Colin Miller, Manager of Public Relations at American Honda. “The NT1100 Police combines Honda’s legendary reliability and value with exceptional maneuverability, making it a compelling choice for law enforcement agencies. Building on the success of the police version of the ST1300, this new model is designed to deliver unmatched performance for motor officers.”
