Looks Like the US Will See These Cool New Hondas After All, But There's a Catch

Back at the beginning of January, we first learned that Canada would be getting three new Honda motorcycles that had previously been introduced in other international markets. Although the US has gotten the XL750 Transalp, so far we have yet to see its platform-sharing sibling, the CB750 Hornet. 

The CB750, sans Hornet moniker, is one of the trio of new bikes officially announced for a 2025 Canadian market release, as is the CB1000SP (also known as the big Hornet in other markets; and no, we're not getting a non-SP version), as well as a non-police-specific version of the NT1100 (which shares an engine with the current Africa Twin).

Now, thanks to some top-drawer US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration VIN Decoder sleuthing by our colleague Dennis Chung at Motorcycle.com, we have good reason to believe that all three of these bikes will, in fact, be making it to the US market in the coming months. At the time of writing on February 20, 2025, though, I have to note that there have yet to be any official announcements.
