Features
Fast Agile Fun
Designed around a new steel diamond frame the CB750 Hornet has a seat height of 795mm, so it’s a joy to manage. And, with a naturally upright riding position and 190kg kerb weight, it steers fast with precise control and feedback from 41mm Showa SFF-BP™ USD forks and Pro-Link rear shock. Carving a city block or set of corners its compact dimensions equal razor-sharp side-to-side agility while 4-piston, radial mount front calipers bite hard for high-performance stopping power.
Pure Streetfighter Style
Shaped from scratch by ambitious young designers in our Rome R&D facility, with technical input from Japanese development engineers, the CB750 Hornet’s sharp minimalism brings a hardcore attitude to the street. The fuel tank, inspired by the outline of a Hornet’s wing, commands attention. LED lighting provides the premium finishing touch, with a signature headlight leading the way.
Selectable Riding Modes
There are 3 default riding modes to choose from, plus two customisable USER modes: “SPORT” delivers maximum performance with minimum intervention. “STANDARD” is a well balanced setting for everyday riding. “RAIN” delivers the least aggressive power delivery for extra reassurance on wet or slippery surfaces. “USER” offers the ability to customise the settings to your liking and save for future use.
Steel Diamond Frame
The Hornet’s steel diamond frame is lightweight, at just 16.6kg. An advanced technological process has produced a hugely strong platform, with rigidity balanced to deliver feel and geometry set for agility – just what the engine needs to achieve impressive power to weight ratio.
Next level riding, now with E-Clutch
Unique to Honda, E-Clutch takes riding to the next level. Choose manual clutch control of the six-speed gearbox, or activate E-Clutch via the TFT screen and ignore the lever. That’s it. From pulling away to shifting and stopping, just use the gear lever – E-Clutch handles the rest, smoothly and instantly, like a pro. You can’t stall. Traffic’s easier. And if you want to use the clutch? Go right ahead.
Striking Dual LED Headlights
The dual projector headlights not only deliver exceptional light projection but also enhance aerodynamic efficiency, all while featuring a striking modern design.
Adjustable Rear Suspension
The rear shock absorber operates through the steel swingarm via Pro-Link. It features 5-stage preload adjustment with spring rate and damping settings optimised to match the forks.
Class Leading Power To Weight
There’s a buzz about the CB750 Hornet. And the talk is all about power to weight ratio. The parallel twin-cylinder engine armed with pumped-up vortex improves intake efficiency and super sport cylinder technology reduces friction whilst pumping out 67.5kW at peak with 75Nm torque, driving hard through the mid-range onto a thrilling rush around the rev counter. It feels and sounds great too, with rock-solid low-end pulse and thrilling exhaust note. An engine this potent packaged in such a lightweight chassis means there’s only one thing you have to do. Hold on and enjoy.
Premium Showa Suspension
Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) inverted forks heighten sports handling performance and heavy braking by dividing the functions – Big Piston pressure separation damper in one leg, spring mechanism in the other – maximising both reaction over changes in road surface and the overall ride quality.
Disc Brakes with ABS
Dual front 296mm discs and Nissin radial-mount, 4-piston calipers deliver impressive stopping power, with excellent progressive feel through the lever. A 240mm disc offers powerful braking in the rear.
Updated TFT Digital Display
Easily operated by 4-way toggle on the left handlebar, the highly visible, customisable 5 inch screen features a range of functions to help you customise the data you want to see.
Ultimate Control and Connectivity
Throttle By Wire (TBW) offers three default riding modes – Sport, Standard and Rain – plus User modes to fine-tune Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Wheelie Control, Engine Power and Engine Braking. Honda’s E-Clutch works seamlessly with these modes for smooth, effortless shifting. Everything is managed through the 5-inch full-colour TFT meter with intuitive interface. LED lighting doubles brightness for better visibility, while automatic indicator cancellation keeps the focus on the ride.
