Honda Launch New Honda CB750 Hornet
POSTED: 04/10/2022
A versatile trend setter
Described as the perfect all-round naked motorbike, men and women, novices and racers, all jumped on the Hornet as soon as it launched. It could be mastered very quickly with no previous biking experience. At the other end of the scale, the marque kicked off its own one-make race series, the Honda Hornet Cup, in 1999.

HISTORY OF THE HORNET
1998
Honda launched a brand new biking trend with the Hornet’s cutting-edge naked streetfighter looks, crisp responsive handling and a powerful inline-4 engine capable of thrilling acceleration – all at a tempting price.
2003
Relaunched with an updated look and features based on rider feedback, the Hornet stuck close to its bloodline but with a more aggressive angled design, stiffer suspension, a bigger tank for range, and cleaner emissions.
2007
The advanced new Hornet was completely redesigned by Honda’s Italian team, with a sharpened naked style and a serious engine upgrade, while retaining its sporty but easy to ride character.
2011
Once again revised with a brilliant new headlight and LCD displays, the Hornet’s evolutionary advancement always stayed true to the Hornet values of accessibility and innovation spiced up with excitement and fun.
Rebirth of a legend
High-performance, flexible and fun, the Honda Hornet launched in Europe in 1998 and raced straight to the front of the sports naked field. The undisputed pioneer in its class, the Hornet’s popularity was fuelled by the rise of the internet where sports minded Hornet enthusiasts formed loyal communities known as the Swarm. Now the Hornet buzzes back...

Shake Up The Hive
Forget the expected. It’s time for a new generation to shake things up. Start with a brand-new engine producing incredible, class-leading power. Dial in a lightweight chassis honed for sports, tightly wrapped in head-turning streetfighter style and the new CB750 Hornet takes flight. Nothing else comes close.
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.
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 as well as Honda Smartphone Voice Control system (HSVCs) for connectivity.
Pure Naked Aggression
Shaped from scratch by the ambitious young designers in our Rome R&D facility, with technical input from our Japanese development engineers, the CB750 Hornet’s sharp minimalism brings hardcore attitude to the street. The fuel tank, inspired by the outline of a Hornet’s wing, commands attention while the metallic red frame and anodised front forks – available with 2 paint options – pop with vibrant aggression. And, of course, a special matte yellow colour pays homage to our own Hornet history with a modern twist. LED lighting is the premium finishing touch.
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.

Terms & Conditions
Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
