Honda CB750 Hornet 2025

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

Yamaha MT-09 2018

Yamaha MT-09 2018

Riding fast is possible, but exhausting. The high handlebars are counterproductive on the race track and require a lot of physical effort. The MT-09 can't keep up with the Street Triple R, even with WP suspension.

Powerful engine with plenty of torque

Fine control of traction control

No blipper function

High handlebars give little feedback

Rough throttle response

Early-regulating ABS
