Love the looks of this bike, mine is arriving on the 10th March. I don’t know why but everyone I talk to thought I would go for a retro looking bike, maybe because I’m 70 but they are all going down the retro route and I fancied something different from that. Plus I’m not old enough yet to stop being a hooligan 😂

I test rode the Hornet for two hours last Monday and was really impressed, I was considering one as my commuter but it's so much more than that, the best compliment I can pay it is that IMO it's like an MT-07 that handles, with better finish and laden with electronics, it's not quite up to the finish of the Trident but overall a great value bike.

Good review, thanks. Honda are aiming to knock Yamaha’s MT-07 from its perch; I’d say they’ve succeeded with aplomb. Can’t say I’m a fan of the generic, oh-so-safe Honda corporate blandness (if only it were Italian!) and those ‘red’ downtubes don’t do it for me. If I were to buy one, and I wouldn’t, it would be the dark grey/black frame option. Also the rear shock isn’t up to the chassis quality but that could be rectified without too much cost after some time owning it. It’s just those looks; they half kill the bike before the key is turned.

@@redangrevival Hornet sure is good value.If I had a bike already I'd wait for the Honda Gb 750 modern retro next year.

I like it much more then the GSX8 but when I think about it, I would prefere the CB650R over this, cost is close and you get a 4 cylinder bike. Btw is it on purpose you appear unkempt ?

Mt07 its a more fun bike, i tested and i found some times that all buyers have to keep in mind 1- electronic throttle, I feel laaging of response thats no happen whit tje mt07 you accellerate and its going up 2- rear shock are weak like cheaper trash 3- the bike doenst have stunt hability its a little harder to put some wheelies and dont do power wheelies :( 4- the engine have a shot block that makes the bike more power at the top end and slower acceleration at low rpm :( mt07 its better and lower and medium rev but no too great at higher rpm. All user going to spend more time to 3 to 6 rpm that its normal 5- its the cb500 Chasis whit the same wheel honda can put cb650r wheel whit 180 tire but no the want to save money on construcction 6- innecesary technology mt07 you star and go, whit the cb750 you need to program the driver modes and you lose time doing that. 7- they too all cb500 platform whit aa new engine and thats it. Not a new bike I think when I rode that i goong to feel more power in the beginning of the revs but MT 07 Its better bike in sensations and the fun factor You can stunt whe mt07 put some wheelies have fun customazation more easy Easy to repair And indestructuble engine that last for years And more response If honda makes a differente bike than cb500, long block whit more torque ar 6 or 5 rpm peak Better suspension And big tire Honda win But for me its difficuyl to smile ridding that bike And sensations its better that price

Fair enough we all have different likes and wants from our motorcycles! I still definitely prefer the Hornet over the MT-07, just feels more premium to me and I actually fin the engine some what more exciting than the CP2. Plenty of low down torque and exciting to rev out. Suspensions either bike is not top quality. 160 rear section helps the bike feel so nimble and agile. Also better price as well! Each to their own 😁

I just can’t excited for another ptwin bike especially with the bland front end they have stuck on this one. O.G hornet had 4 cylinders and 100+ hp. On the other hand, Honda has done a good job one upping Yamaha here who is looking uncompetitive in the current market : r7 getting shamed by zx4, r3 being out bored by ninja 400 and now the mt07 has been displaced in its own segment. Yammy needs to up their game

I tend to agree with you, but this new engine is really good. It is quite surprising how exciting it can be. Likes to rev a bit 👍 Definitely the most exciting P Twin I have ever ridden. Yup think Yamaha will be a bit worried here! Hopefully it will encourage them to make an even better bike 😁
