Do not question why the new Honda Hornet is so cheap question but why the competition are so expensive. The British public have been mugged off for far too long. I thank Honda for manufacturing a quality bike at a realistic price.

I went to the local Honda dealership yesterday and they had 2 Hornets, the black and red, and the white and red, and both were marked as sold. When I first saw the pictures online, I thought that it looked horrible but once I saw it live, I thought it really is a fine looking machine actually. Still prefer the CB650R look over iy though, it's what I actually ended up ordering. Thanks for the review Dan! 🖖

I was thinking of buying a Hornet as my commuter so took one for a demo ride and was really impressed, it's so much more than a commuter, IMO it was like an MT-07 that handles and is laden with electronic goodies, it's not quite up to the Trident's finish but still very good, undoubtedly the bargain of the century.

So disappointed that Honda didn't apply their neo retro styling to this bike, it just looks so dull and generic. Fantastic engine, great price, good tech and meh looks

the front headlight and the swingarm are the main problems I suppose.

The engine is a "Unicam" engine, presumably a single overhead cam operating both intake and exhaust valves. Not quite the same as a typical DOHC setup. I'm really liking this "more than a 650cc, less than a 850cc" class of twins, which also offer "more than a 650" in terms of the bones, with USD forks and radial brakes and a better chassis that can deal with a higher pace. And the prices are spot on.

Great video, bro...👍🏻

how is vibration at the handle bars, seat and foot pegs? I currently own 2019 ninja 650 which I love but I hate the vibrations that makes my hands go numb maybe I’ll upgrade to Hornet in couple years when people will start selling these bikes used

I upgraded from CB500F to CB750 Hornet a month ago and I'm really happy with it. What this bike offer is very good for the price, when you buy it, definitely get a quickshifter installed, it will make you love the bike more :D

This bike would be amazing it they just styled it after the Grom and called it Grom750. Cruise control would be nice too, I don’t understand bikes that have throttle by wire and no cruise control (my bike included).

There’s also a good bit of shared styling with the 2018 MT-07, and the 270° crank definitely won’t hurt sales. Not sure how the rest of the package compares, but with those numbers and a slightly lower MSRP than the MT-07, I’d be shocked if Honda doesn’t catch a decent share of would-be MT buyers.

The one thing you miss out on with the MT07 is electronics, it has absolutely none, which was perfectly fine for me as it was my first bike, but I wouldn't buy it again while this bike exists. Just my 2 cents. Keep in mind, you CAN adjust the engine braking on the Hornet which largely negates the throttle jerk, but you can't on the MT07 and its known for it.

I would mention the Aprilia Shiver 750 as a direct competitor to this bike, as they're designed pretty much identically, only the aprilia has a real V-twin engine in it instead of a crossplane parallel. The spread out pistons give the italian a bigger bore, more horsepower & torque (95bhp, 81Nm), but with less fuel efficiency and low end power - it needs to be revved a little before it wakes up due to the short stroke nature of the crank, but then it goes like a rocket.
