The original 1998 CB600F Hornet grew to be a hugely popular bike in Europe, for many reasons. Its compact, naked form was great around town, and it had the engine power and handling ability to carve a section of corners with joyous enthusiasm. Different iterations of the Hornet took it in the direction of sports touring and – in the hands of Hornet Cup racers –an outright race bike, while a 2007 upgrade added extra RR-derived top-end power and much more aggressive style.
Every individual owner had a reason why their Hornet was so good, but two things remained constant throughout its life and development:
It was great fun to ride. And the fun came with an affordable price tag.
23YM was the perfect time for a new Hornet to land – a bike for the time and a whole new generation of riders. It had big tyre tracks to fill and serious competitors to contend with. None of which was lost on Honda’s development engineers.
This background drove the creation of something quite special - the CB750 Hornet, a bike which took inspiration and direction from its ancestor but brought the celebrated Hornet brand right back to the cutting edge. And packed it with a direct injection of excitement and pure-thrill adrenaline.
With minimalist streetfighter styling led by the latest generation of creative minds in Honda’s Rome R&D facility, it was developed to attract younger riders looking for a serious move up. In a nutshell, Honda armed the CB750 Hornet with a class-leading power-to-weight ratio.
And, to keep things simple, three words can be used to sum it up: Fast, agile, fun.
For 25YM, the trademark Hornet’s svelte, taut styling is amplified through a newly developed, powerful light unit. Giving it a look of its own within the three-bike Hornet family, the CB750’s dual LED dual projector headlight sits low and centered for a true streetfighter silhouette.
Revised suspension settings and a new five-inch TFT screen round out the changes, and bring the CB750 Hornet’s style and tech bang up to date.

Model Overview
The Hornet’s engine packs a great deal of Honda’s engineering prowess into a small space. Headline numbers: 755cc parallel twin-cylinder, 67.5kW peak power and 75Nm torque. With wet weight of 192kg it has a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 0.36kW per kg / 2.81kg per kW.
Compact, competition CRF-derived Unicam eight-valve cylinder heads employ downdraft air intakes and a Vortex Flow Duct to ensure optimal combustion. A 270° crank delivers feel and character; the primary drive doubles as balance shaft while an assist/slipper clutch manages a six-speed gearbox. Electronic rider aids thanks to Throttle By Wire (TBW) include three riding modes (plus USER mode), three-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Wheelie Control with three-level Engine Power and Engine Braking adjustment.
To maximise the engine’s potential, it’s housed in a steel diamond frame, which is extremely light weight thanks to optimisation of wall/pipe thickness and stiffness. For optimal agility and rider feedback, suspension is top quality: Showa 41mm SFF-BPTM USD forks and rear shock (with new settings for 25YM) operating through Pro-Link. Dual four-piston, radial-mount calipers stop hard while the tyres are sized to provide perfect levels of grip and agility – a 120-section front matched to 160 rear.
The rich specification list is headlined by an all-new look, built around a low-set, centrally mounted dual LED projector headlight, tautly wrapped in a revised cowl that oozes streetfighter style. The CB750 Hornet now owns a style that is distinct from its larger and smaller siblings, carving out an identity all of its own.
Also new is the five-inch TFT colour display which supplies vivid information delivery and management of all systems, as well as the connectivity of Honda RoadSync system for both Android and IOS devices. It’s operated, easily, by a four-way toggle switch on the left handlebar.
A range of Genuine Honda Accessories, including updated quickshifter, soft luggage, engine protectors and cosmetic enhancements are ready to go. New for 25YM are honeycomb pattern knee grip Tank Pads, Dark Smoke Instrument Visor, headlight stripe, stainless Radiator Grill and loud volume Alarm.
The 25YM CB750 Hornet will be available in the following colour combinations:
- **NEW** Mat Ballistic Black over Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
- **NEW** Digital Silver Metallic over Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
- **NEW** Glint Wave Blue Metallic over Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
- Mat Pearl Glare white over Cuprite Red Metallic
Accessories
A full range of Genuine Honda Accessories are available for the Hornet, ready for personalisation to an owner’s preference and use.
New for 25YM there is a Radiator Grill, Side Tank Pads and Headlight stripes that neatly complement the bike’s new front end. Other accessories have been updated to match the new colours and changes, such as Wheel Stripes, Fly Screen and Seat Cowl.
To make it easy for an owner there are three packs that group the accessories neatly together:
Style Pack
Practical and attractive parts to both protect and enhance your Hornet. The Aluminium Handlebar Holder and Grip Ends add style and protection, whilst the Rider Steps increases the premium feel. The two-tone PVC leather and red double stitched Rider Seat provide a sense of luxury, with a Headlight Stripe and Wheel Stripes – available in Black, Grey, White and Blue – for added personalisation with your new CB750 Hornet.
Sports Pack
A real performance upgrade: The adjustable Quickshifter allows instant, full-throttle upshifts and auto-blips through clutch less downshifts. And for added sports style the Seat Cowl – available in Red or Grey – is matched to a Meter Visor. The Tank Pad, Tank Side Pad and Skid Pad provide extra peace of mind when riding.
Comfort Pack
The Comfort Pack is a versatile collection designed to enhance rider comfort and convenience. This pack provides storage for essentials with a Rear Seat Bag and 3L Tank Bag, ensuring convenience during rides. The Heated Grips offer enhanced comfort in cold weather and the Protective Film reduces scratches on the new TFT meter.
Additional accessories include Side Bags. All accessories are available separately.
