American Honda has revealed the NT1100 Police, a new on-road motorcycle model developed exclusively for U.S. law-enforcement agencies. This model can be ordered exclusively through the Powersports Fleet/Government Purchase Program.

Based on the NT1100—the popular sport-touring model currently offered to European customers—the NT1100 Police is powered by the parallel-twin engine from the Africa Twin and comes with many of the same comfort-, convenience- and safety-focused features from the consumer-focused version of the NT1100. Features include a protective fairing, an adjustable windscreen, a plush seat, LED lighting and electronic rider aids. It is also outfitted with special components designed for police work and it can be further customized with additional parts available through approved vendors.

“Motor officers understand the benefits that two-wheel vehicles can offer over automobiles and we’re pleased to provide a brand-new option for their fleets,” says Colin Miller, manager of Public Relations at American Honda. “One of the main advantages of a police motorcycle is maneuverability, and the NT1100 Police is unmatched in that area. It also boasts Honda’s legendary reliability and value—attributes that were proven with law enforcement agencies in the past, with the police version of the ST1300. Thanks to its lightweight, nimble handling and exceptional value, the NT1100 Police promises to be a popular choice among U.S. motorcycle units.”

Employing the frame and twin-cylinder engine of the CRF1100L Africa Twin as a base, the NT1100 Police delivers a characterful, engaging performance. Notable for its lowest-in-class curb weight, exceptional maneuverability and attractive price, this new police motorcycle also boasts features and technology that broaden its appeal. It comes standard with a host of special features developed specifically for law-enforcement agencies, including pannier bags, a wiring harness that enables easy customization, an engine guard, a rear bumper, a document box and a seat cowl. Additional components are available through approved vendors, to help individual agencies meet their own particular requirements.
