The CB1000GT is equipped with a number of advanced features, enabling the rider to enjoy a fun and comfortable riding experience in a wide range of situations, from sporty riding to long-distance touring with a partner. Such features include a set of riding modes the rider can choose from in accordance with their preferred riding style in a wide range of riding situations and road surface conditions — from city streets to winding roads. In addition to the four preset modes — Standard, Sport, Rain, and Tour —, each of which combines optimal engine output characteristics and front and rear suspension damping force characteristics for each situation, the rider can set their own favorite settings as User mode.

Another standard equipment of the CB1000GT is the quick shifter, which eliminates the need for left-hand clutch operation except when starting or stopping. This function helps reduce rider fatigue during both urban and long-distance riding.

The CB1000GT also features the original Honda RoadSync*2 as standard equipment, which enables the rider to use Bluetooth®*3 to link their smartphone to the bike and use hands-free functions for things such as phone calls and road navigation.
