Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2025

The Honda CB750 Hornet 2025 shows that targeted technical revisions can achieve more than major visual changes. The new suspension setup significantly lifts the model, while the proven two-cylinder engine continues to impress with its riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use. If you are looking for a versatile, stable and affordable naked bike, the Hornet is a well-engineered overall package with only a few weaknesses.

Stable, revised suspension with very good riding performance

Powerful and cultivated two-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

Good ergonomics and confidence-inspiring riding position

Extensive standard equipment including TFT display, riding modes, traction control

Low fuel consumption and easy to maintain

A2 throttle adjustable

Typical Honda reliability and solid workmanship

Simple processing details (e.g. swing arm) partly visibly due to the price

Honda CBR650R 2023

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.

Resilient four-cylinder

comfortable seating position

improved chassis for 2021

cool look

easy to operate.

Engine sluggish below 8,000 revolutions

LC display now looks old-fashioned
