With plenty of power, wrapped in an edgy design, the CB750 Hornet is the ultimate representation of the streetfighter concept. It matches exciting and engaging performance to nimble and agile handling, making every ride engaging and fulfilling. The 755cc parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers that top end rush, but also the sporty low-down torque, ideal for riding in urban environments and powering out of corners on the open road.
The 755cc parallel twin-cylinder engine packs a great deal of Honda’s engineering prowess into a small space. Delivering 67.5kW @ 9,500rpm peak power and 75Nm @ 7,250rpm torque, it’s designed for every rider to exploit to the maximum, with exhilarating power output, but also provides accessible low to mid-range usability. The 270° crank and uneven firing order create a characterful, twin-cylinder pulse feeling.
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.
Award Winning Design
Developed based on the concept of a “high-performance middleweight sports model that enables a brisk ride on both winding roads and city streets,” the CB750 Hornet realizes a high-level balancing of “an impressive dynamism of the 755 cm3 engine,” “sporty yet stable ride,” “easy handling in urban areas,” and “full range of advanced features.”
New 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.
Assist/Slipper Clutch
An assist/slipper clutch eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up under rapid downshifts.
Class Leading Power To Weight
There’s a buzz about the CB750 Hornet. And the talk is all about power to weight ratio. An all-new, 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. 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.
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.
TFT Digital Display
The 5-inch full colour high-visibility screen offers four types of speed/rpm display – analogue or bar, according to rider preference – as well as fuel gauge/ consumption, riding mode selection/ engine parameters, gear selected and customisable shift-up point on the tachometer. Management is via the screen and switchgear on the left handlebar.
Ultimate Control and Connectivity
You're fully in charge of the CB750 Hornet’s stunning engine. Throttle By Wire (TBW) precision equals 3 default riding modes: Sport, Standard and Rain, as well as a customisable User mode to fine-tune (through 3 levels) Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Wheelie Control. You can also individually adjust Engine Power and Engine Braking. It’s easy too – the 5-inch full colour TFT display offers a beautiful, intuitive interface.
