2025 Honda CB750 Hornet Power and Design

Designed with the rider in mind, the CB750 Hornet boasts a bold, minimalist aesthetic with a streetfighter attitude. The signature fuel tank, echoing a hornet's wing, not only looks striking but also contributes to the bike's sleek profile. The upright riding position, combined with slightly rear-set footpegs and wide handlebars, provides an intuitive and comfortable feel for riders of various sizes, further enhanced by a low 31.3-inch seat height. The clear five-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync integration ensures easy access to navigation, calls, and music via simple handlebar controls. The dual LED headlight illuminates the road ahead and adds to the bike's aggressive stance. This design strikes a balance between thrilling style and everyday practicality.

Prepare for a thrilling ride! The CB750 Hornet is powered by a responsive 755cc parallel-twin engine, engineered to deliver exhilarating high-rpm performance alongside smooth, everyday usability. Its 8-valve Unicam head, derived from Honda's CRF450R, contributes to a compact and lightweight design that offers impressive peak power without intimidation. The 270° crankshaft provides a distinctive exhaust note and lively character, while Vortex airflow ducts ensure crisp throttle response. With a punchy low-to-midrange, thanks to its 11.0:1 compression, 46mm throttle bodies, and optimized valve timing, this engine excels in various riding scenarios. Premium features, such as Ni-SiC cylinder coating and an integrated water pump, enhance both performance and efficiency. The assist/slipper clutch and standard quickshifter with adjustable sensitivity further elevate the riding experience, offering lighter lever action and seamless gear changes. The Hornet's engine is your partner for both urban adventures and spirited backroad carving.

Tailor your ride with the CB750 Hornet's intuitive electronics suite. This system seamlessly adapts to any riding style or condition, featuring throttle-by-wire control and versatile ride modes. Choose from three preset modes: RAIN, STANDARD, and SPORT, each expertly calibrated to optimize Engine Power (EP), Engine Braking (EB), and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with Wheelie Control. SPORT mode unleashes maximum performance (EP3/EB1/HSTC1), while STANDARD offers a balanced setup (EP2/EB2/HSTC2). For confident riding in slippery conditions, RAIN mode provides gentle power delivery (EP1), moderate engine braking (EB2), and maximum traction control (HSTC3). The customizable USER mode empowers riders to fine-tune each parameter to their exact preferences and save those settings. Effortless adjustments are made via the TFT display and a convenient handlebar switch, putting complete control at your fingertips.   

The CB750 Hornet's streetfighter spirit is underpinned by a carefully designed chassis focused on lightweight agility. Lighter than the CB650R's, the steel diamond frame utilizes optimized tubing and pivot placement for a strong and responsive feel. The geometry is specifically designed for quick and precise handling. High-quality components, such as the Showa 41mm SFF-BP inverted fork and Pro-Link rear suspension with preload adjustability, ensure excellent road holding and comfort. Braking performance is top-notch with dual petal-style front discs and Nissin radial-mount calipers. The lightweight Y-spoke wheels enhance the bike's sporty aesthetics and contribute to its agile handling. This combination of design and premium components creates a chassis that excels in both performance and everyday usability.
