Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB1000 Hornet SP 2025

The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is more than just a new bike - it's a statement. Honda proves that they can still do it. They have created a bike that impresses in every respect: engine, suspension, brakes, price-performance ratio. You sit on it and immediately know how to ride this thing. There are no puzzles, no nasty surprises. Just pure, honest performance at a price that makes the competition look old. This isn't just a good bike - it's a game changer. Honda is back, and how they are back.

Unbeatable price-performance ratio

top shock of the highest specification

high-quality Brembo Stylema brakes

cultivated four-cylinder with good running behaviour

excellent workmanship and Honda reliability

simple, intuitive handling

comfortable ergonomics for lengthy rides

Engine somewhat sluggish under 6,000 rpm

conservative ABS control without IMU limits braking performance

difficult load change at low engine speeds

longer gear ratio in first gear

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

Powerful, high-torque engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

extensive electronics

affordable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy
