Honda CB750 Hornet – Break Free From the Hive
Lightweight, powerful and built for sharp, sporty performance, the Honda CB750 Hornet delivers an exciting ride through city streets and winding back roads. Its aggressive streetfighter styling, responsive parallel-twin engine and advanced rider technology combine to create a middleweight naked motorcycle with serious attitude.
The liquid-cooled 755cc parallel-twin engine produces an impressive 67.5kW of power and 75Nm of torque. Strong low-down response and hard-hitting mid-range acceleration give the Hornet an energetic character, while its lightweight chassis keeps the handling fast, precise and easy to control.
The CB750 Hornet is available with either a traditional six-speed manual transmission or Honda E-Clutch.
Available With Honda E-Clutch
Honda E-Clutch keeps the involvement of a manual six-speed gearbox while automatically operating the clutch for you. Simply use the gear lever to pull away, shift up or down and come to a stop—without needing to touch the clutch lever and without the risk of stalling.
If you prefer full manual control, you can use the clutch lever at any time or switch the E-Clutch system off through the TFT display. Combined with throttle-by-wire, E-Clutch delivers fast, smooth and intuitive gear changes while helping maintain stability under hard acceleration and deceleration.
Customisable Riding Modes
Three preset riding modes allow you to quickly change the Hornet’s character:
- Sport: Maximum performance with reduced electronic intervention
- Standard: Balanced settings for everyday riding
- Rain: A softer power response for wet or slippery conditions
Two customisable User modes allow you to adjust engine power, engine braking, Honda Selectable Torque Control and Wheelie Control to suit your riding style.
Lightweight and Agile Handling
The Hornet’s compact steel diamond frame weighs just 16.6kg and has been engineered to provide an excellent balance of strength, feedback and agility.
A low 795mm seat height, naturally upright riding position and kerb weight of just 192kg for the manual model help make the CB750 Hornet easy to manage. The E-Clutch version weighs 196kg while retaining the same agile character.
Premium 41mm Showa Separate Function Fork Big Piston upside-down forks provide accurate steering and excellent control over changing road surfaces. At the rear, a Pro-Link shock with five-stage preload adjustment allows the suspension to be adapted for different loads.
Confident Braking Performance
Twin 296mm front brake discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers deliver strong stopping power with progressive feel. A single 240mm rear disc and ABS provide additional confidence during everyday and spirited riding.
Aggressive Streetfighter Styling
The CB750 Hornet’s sharp bodywork and minimal design give it an unmistakable streetfighter presence. Its fuel tank takes inspiration from the shape of a hornet’s wing, while striking twin LED projector headlights create a modern and distinctive front end.
A customisable full-colour 5-inch TFT display provides clear access to riding information and settings. Additional features include a USB-C charging port, self-cancelling indicators, daytime running lights and an Emergency Stop Signal.
