Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2024

Hardly anyone needs more bike than the CB750 Hornet, priced at just 8890 euros (in Austria) or 8780 euros (in Germany), for universal all-round use between city transport, day trip substitute and after-work fun rocket. Thanks to its "easy going" character, a broad grin under the helmet is virtually unavoidable on the Hornet. Like a real hornet in the wild, the Honda Hornet turns out to be surprisingly sociable and useful in everyday life. However, if it is pushed into a corner, it knows how to use its sting skilfully in close combat.

Powerful, high-torque engine good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

comprehensive electronics

favourable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swingarm not particularly sexy

Kawasaki Z 800 2017

Overall, the Z800 delivered a sensational performance. Considering the fact that nothing was changed or optimised on the vehicle apart from the Remus rear silencer, a super final result.

Eye-catching, chunky look

confident acceleration

relaxed geometry

powerful brakes

Limited freedom of movement for the legs.
