Keep in mind, the 2016 motorcycle models listed below are not the entire model lineup. Quite a few 2016 motorcycles have already been announced previously. This is just a select few models that Honda was waiting to release the information on. Below is an update showing any upgrades / changes for 2016 as well as their release dates for each motorcycle.


⇒ EDIT / UPDATE October 15, 2015: I wasn’t anticipating the rest of the 2016 CBR model lineup to release until November to line up with the EICMA show or at the earliest the Tokyo Motor Show at the end of October. Due to Honda not changing the 2016 CBR1000RR or 2016 CBR600RR, looks like they decided to go ahead and do the official model release. I’ve edited this post and included the 2016 CBR300R info as well as the 16′ 600RR & 1000RR etc. 

Today at the AIMExpo show in Orlando, Florida, Honda presented most of its 2016 CBR lineup, with the aggressively restyled CBR500R making its world debut. Almost 25 years after the introduction of the CBR900RR, Honda’s modern sport bikes continue to offer performance and reliability.

“Since their respective introductions, the fun, affordable CBR300R and CBR500R models have been very popular with a wide variety of customers,” said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications at American Honda. “For 2016, the CBR500R receives striking updates, and we’re happy to unveil it here at AIMExpo. Both of these machines draw from the successful racing DNA of the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR, which return for 2016 with new colors.”

⇒ EDIT / UPDATE October 22, 2015: New information added on the 2016 VFR1200X, 2016 CB500X and 2016 NC700X that will make their debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show that starts up on October 28.

⇒ EDIT / UPDATE October 28, 2015: The 2016 Honda NC700X & CB500X just made their official debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show with their list of changes and information below with pricing and release dates.

2016 Honda MSX 125 (GROM)

The extremely popular Honda MSX 125cc motorcycle makes its return for 2016 with a few changes and upgrades. Check out the link above for 2016 MSX changes, specs, pictures & videos as well as information on the Grom receiving changes for the USA versus European models etc.

2016 Honda NC700X

Already a hit with adventure riders, Honda’s NC700X provides fun, practicality and reliability in every facet of riding, and it gets new, aggressive styling for 2016. Housing a 670cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, the machine produces tons of torque and enough power to satisfy veteran riders, but it’s also good-natured enough for novices. The NC700X is offered in versions with a standard gearbox and a fully automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), the latter now with three different sport-mode settings. With deft handling, it’s adept at maneuvering through everything from city traffic to canyon roads, while the comfortable, upright seating position and a 5.8-gallon utility compartment—enlarged by .25 gallons for 2016 and big enough for a full-face helmet—make long-distance trips a pleasure. Other updates for the new model year include a revised windscreen and meter, as well as an LED taillight, a utility rail to simplify fitting a tank bag, a new pentagon-shaped muffler with an improved exhaust sound. Also new are the “L”-shaped air valves on the wheels for added clearance, and a smoother-functioning “wave”-style key.

2016 NC700X Colors: Silver Metallic

2016 NC700X Price / MSRP: TBD

2016 NC700X Release Date: April 2016

2016 Honda NC750X

Since its introduction the NC750X has enjoyed consistent popularity throughout Europe, making it a permanent fixture in the ranks of Europe’s top ten best selling motorcycles.

Reasons for its success are several: its ground-breaking, torque-laden twin-cylinder engine, which sips fuel while punching the bike forward in the low-to-mid rpm ranges, the relaxed, roomy riding position, wide handlebars and comfortable seat and riding position, the compliant, long-travel suspension and distinctive adventure styling all play their part.

The storage compartment (where the fuel tank would normally be) capable of holding a full-face helmet and Honda’s unique DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) that over a third of customers choose are further features that set the NC750X apart.

As a total package, the NC750X’s qualities combine to create a motorcycle which functions superbly. For all types of riding – commuting, touring and simply riding for pleasure – it is a motorcycle with compelling all-round appeal. For 2016, both form and function are enhanced still further, building on the NC750X’s innovative DNA and making it feel – and work – even better again.

2016 Honda NC750S

The NC750S is an exceptionally user-friendly motorcycle: easy to ride and easy on the pocket in terms of both initial purchase and running costs. It attracts riders of all ages including both experienced riders looking for a capable and economic motorcycle to tackle the city traffic, as well as new, younger riders stepping up from smaller machines looking equally for performance, economy, practicality and pleasure from their first ‘big’ motorcycle.

And that’s exactly what they get from the NC750S. Its parallel twin-cylinder engine packs the low-to-midrange with effortless torque; capacious storage space where the fuel tank normally sits and the option of Honda’s unique Dual Clutch Transmission set it apart from the crowd of mid-sized naked machines. When combined with a compact form, confidence-inspiring chassis and exceptional fuel economy, the result is a uniquely accessible and practical motorcycle.

Since the original launch in 2012 ­– as the NC700S – continuous development has seen Honda deliver more of what every rider liked about the machine, and the concept behind it. For this next step, form and function are enhanced in equal measure, making that first ‘big’ motorcycle experience even better.


2016 Honda CB500F

Featuring sculpted new bodywork for an aggressive look that highlights the motorcycle’s functional components, the CB500F is an even better choice for a midsize naked sport bike in 2016. LED lights are now standard front and rear, and the shortened muffler has an improved exhaust note. The fuel tank is now larger and has a hinged cap, while the fork gets externally adjustable spring preload. Rounding out the improvements to the 2016 Honda CB500F are an adjustable front brake lever, aluminum die-cast passenger foot pegs, transmission updates that result in improved shifting feel, and a “wave”-style ignition key.

2016 Honda CB500X

Honda’s smallest-displacement adventure-touring model is just as serious as its big siblings, as evidenced by the CB500X’s upright seating position and wide handlebar, plus a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin DOHC engine that’s versatile and fuel-efficient. With its all-round punchy performance, adventure styling, affordable price point and low running costs the twin-cylinder CB500X is a great place from which to begin a lifelong motorcycling journey. Its upright, roomy riding position, substantial tank range and long-travel suspension inject a genuine sense of adventure into every ride, and make it serve equally well through the weekly commute as on the weekend escape.

For 2016, the nimble machine benefits from sharper, tougher styling, plus a taller windscreen, LED lighting front and rear, and a stylish new muffler design. Other upgrades include externally adjustable fork preload, an adjustable front-brake lever, improved gear-change feel, a hinged fuel cap, a “wave”-style key and an improved shock setting. An array of Honda Genuine Accessories make it possible for customers to adapt the CB500X to suit their individual tastes.

2016 VFR1200X (CrossTourer)

Now the largest-displacement Honda adventure-touring model, the powerful yet smooth VFR1200X is brand-new for the U.S. market. Well suited to customers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort during long days of two-wheel exploration, often riding two-up, the VFR1200X is powered by a 1,237cc V4 engine and is available with a standard gearbox or Honda’s industry-exclusive six-speed, fully automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which has been refined and updated with additional modes; both versions feature Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), combined ABS brakes and shaft drive. The 19- and 17-inch wheels offer capable road-going performance, while the inverted 43mm fork and single-sided swingarm incorporate modern suspension technologies. Other features include a one-hand-adjustable windscreen, handguards and an accessory socket to charge smart phones. An extensive line of Honda Genuine Accessories is offered, including products for storage, rider comfort and customization.

2016 CBR500R

With all-new styling that offers a sharper, more aggressive look and improved airflow for increased rider comfort and better handling, plus refinements like LED headlights and taillights, the new CBR500R adds great curb appeal to legendary performance and reliability. Other updates include a new muffler design for improved mass centralization, lighter weight and an improved exhaust note, plus an adjustable front brake lever, smoother gear-change feel, a larger fuel tank with a hinged fuel cap and front suspension with adjustable preload. The CBR500R also now uses a wave ignition key for smoother function. The inline-twin 471cc engine offers accessible power output that smoothly revs up to redline, while emphasizing low- to midrange torque for real-world usability. Honda Genuine Accessories are also available for the new CBR500R, including a high windscreen, seat cowl, tank pad, 12v accessory socket and seat bag.

2016 Honda CBR650F

2016 CBR650F Review / Specs – Click Here

Sporting middleweights have always found starring roles within Honda’s range thanks to the poise and usability produced by their combination of low mass and strong engine performance. Whereas the trend recently has been toward ever-larger capacity mid-sized machines, Honda has decided on a different direction and will produce a true four-cylinder sporty middleweight that offers high style and specification, an involving easy-to-use riding experience and real value for money.

The new CBR650F is brand new from the wheels up. Based on the same platform as the naked streetfighter-styled CB650F, it’s been designed from inception by a young team of Honda engineers as a sports-oriented bike, usable and enjoyable in the real world by riders of all backgrounds and experience, in environments from busy urban streets to twisting back roads.

2016 Honda CB650F

2016 CB650F Review / Specs – Click Here

The four-cylinder CB range has a proud history dating back to 1969 and the ground-breaking CB750. Within that history, Honda’s middleweights have always found starring roles, thanks to the poise and usability produced by their combination of low mass and strong engine performance.

In recent years, the trend has been toward ever-larger capacity mid-sized machines. Honda has decided on a different direction, and for 2014 will produce a true four-cylinder middleweight that offers high style and specification, an easy-to-use all-round fun riding experience and real value for money.

The CB650F turns the page on the CB600F Hornet and, sharing no common parts, starts a fresh chapter. Brand new from the wheels up – conceived and developed by a young team of Honda engineers – the concept behind its performance is completely different. It’s been designed from the outset to put the rider fully in tune with the machine and offer arresting style, identity and attitude.

2016 Honda CB300F

Now entering its second model year, the CB300F has a deserved reputation as being fun, affordable and beginner-friendly, and for 2016 it’s available in a striking new Black color. This naked sport bike has the same liquid-cooled, 286cc counterbalanced single-cylinder engine as its CBR300R counterpart, but with a more upright riding position. Though extremely popular among customers who are new to motorcycling, the CB300F still packs a punch that even an experienced rider can appreciate. Because it is highly fuel-efficient, with fuel economy estimate of 71 miles per gallon*, customers should plan to spend more time on the road and less time at the pump.

To suit the requirements of any touring enthusiast, the Gold Wing will continue to be offered in four different build options (including the world’s first production-motorcycle airbag system), and for 2016, it’s available in three beautiful color options, two of which are new.

2016 Honda Fury 1300

2016 Honda Fury Review / Specs – Click Here

One of the boldest, most eye-catching cruisers on the market, the long, lean Fury gets even more aggressive for 2016, with the removal of the passenger seat and foot pegs enhancing what was already a custom look. With its stretched-out wheelbase and rumbling 1,312cc, 52 degree V-twin engine, the Fury certainly turns heads wherever it goes, but it also offers practical elements like Programmed Fuel Injection, shaft final drive, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes and—perhaps most importantly—Honda’s famous finish and reliability.

2016 Honda Stateline 1300
Back for 2016 with its radical, retro-progressive styling, the Stateline boasts stretched-out, chopped-dragster lines, along with deep-valance fenders, low-profile tires and cast five-spoke wheels. Technically, the Stateline is totally modern, with features like fuel injection, shaft final drive and disc brakes (there’s even optional ABS), but its aesthetics appeals to those with traditional tastes. The 1,312cc, 52 degree V-twin power plant offers plenty of torque and a throaty rumble, and the wide, deep-dish seat is only 26.7 inches high.

2016 Honda Shadow 750 Model Lineup: Shadow Aero / Shadow Phantom
For customers looking for a tough-but-refined middleweight cruiser, Honda’s popular Shadow line returns for 2016, with two distinct models offered: the Shadow Aero (also available in an ABS version) and the Shadow Phantom. Both are powered by a liquid-cooled 750cc V-twin engine and have wire-spoke wheels, front disc brake, chrome 2-into-2 mufflers and shaft final drive, but the aesthetics are quite different; true to its name, the bobber-inspired Phantom has blacked-out looks, while the Aero has classic cruiser styling, with large fenders and a traditionally shaped fuel tank. You may not have noticed but there is not a 2016 Honda Shadow Spirit or 750 RS any longer.

Tough but unintimidating, reliable and affordable, lightweight and maneuverable: all are adjectives that aptly describe the popular Rebel, Honda’s smallest-displacement cruiser model. Long a hit with customers who are new to riding and want a traditional look, the classically styled Rebel is powered by a 234cc single-cylinder engine and has a hydraulic disc front brake, semi-double-cradle frame and electric start, and the seat height is just 26.6 inches.

Thanks mainly to its incredible versatility and reliability, the XR650L is a regular favorite for adventure riders who feel completely at home on remote, technical singletrack but also want to be comfortable when linking those trails together on the highway. Powering through daunting off-road conditions is possible thanks to the smooth-running 644cc single-cylinder engine, which has dry-sump lubrication and push-button electric start. The frame is of a semi-double-cradle design, the air-adjustable 43mm Showa cartridge fork has adjustable compression damping, and the Pro-Link rear suspension has a Showa shock with adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping.
