Back when I started riding, a 750 was considered a big, powerful and fast bike and it was to be treated with respect, especially in the wet. These days a 750 is a mid sized bike which I have noticed many people call small, light and flickable and almost a learner bike. How times have changed. I still think a 750 would have all the power most people could ever need or use, and they have become so user friendly that you hardly even notice how fast they are, or am I wrong?. Thanks for the review, some interesting observations.

I cross shopped this and the CB650R. I ended up going for the CB650R just because I think it has more passion in it's design and it was a bit cheaper too in NZ too ($14,995 incl ORC vs $16,000+ORC both NZD). I know it's an older platform but it just looks so good, has that sweet inline 4 and just feels like the engineers put more love/passion into the design whereas the CB750 just feels like it was strictly built to a budget. I hope I don't grow to regret my decision but I've done 1,900km on my CB650R so far and I have loved every km of it so far. In just over an hour, when I finish work, I will go for a ride out to Makarora at the Northern end of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand. 5pm can't come soon enough!

Cracking review. Seen the Grey colour Hornet at the local dealer, and as you say, the quality is on point, value is excellent.
Your insights are right on. I ride in the wet a lot here on the west coast of Canada, and I use Rain-X on my mirrors - it does a great job of getting most of the water to just slide off, and improve rear vision on wet days. Just a quick swipe before you ride, and it works quite well.

Great review as always. There's a lot to like about this bike, especially the price and performance. The exhaust sounds a bit clattery at some mid-revs but a good sound overall. It looks to be the exact same headlight as found on the 500X/F and upcoming Transalp. Cruise control would have been nice... I wish it were standard on most bikes with ride-by-wire. Glad to see riding season is getting warmer there -- I managed to get a few unusual February rides here in Canada but back to snow for at least another two weeks. Ride safe as always

I can see a space developing in my garage for either of these models. I hope to be test riding both models when they arrive in my part of Central Europe. The pricing here is also competitive, although higher than the UK which is normal.

That was on a motorway at higher speeds as well.

Great review. I am troubled by the trend toward parallel twins among Japanese bikes. We all want 4s or 3s 😅
very good to see your watchers are asking the right questions ;;; any bike can be smooth at 55 mph , and doing 200 mph is mostly irrelevant ,,,, so the jerky in town stuff IS what affects most riders , the more power - the more tense the motor can be , thats why cruisers have an easier time around town than even a lightweight tuned bike ,, so its good that this bike has a fair bit of power , but with the 'modes ' it can suit the conditions , it is a good job that you take the time to show bikers what the bike is like in real conditions ;;;

Great review TMF and bought a hornet recently. Many other reviews noted a "snatchy throttle" and it is there but only from complete throttle close to open - need to be careful at roundabouts or you could take off in an unexpected direction!! No issues as you say at low speed constant throttle. In user mode set engine braking to minimum and power on 2 but has made no difference. Hoping Honda bring out a software update for this bike or sadly it will not be a "keeper" for me!!!
I bought a 2024 Transalp with the same engine and it fuels perfectly. It’s also very fast. It has center stand mounts too. The ‘clippy’ thing is a fuse remover.

Eg a 790 Duke is only smooth in 2nd, a gs1200 as long as your smooth on throttle can run in 4th gear. Was very interesting how the hornet fairs in this test and think others many also find this test very useful when your testing bikes.

Can't wait to get it but theres a wait on quick shifters. Got mine in white. Only things I don't like as you mentioned is no hugger or anywhere to screw in bobbins for a paddock stand sadly. Otherwise even the looks are growing on me.
Brilliant review really like this bike that exhaust would have to go 👍
Thx for the nice reviews. I think once you recognize the shape of a real hornet in the bike, it starts to look beautiful. Even the mirrors remind the insect s eyes. First time I saw the bike, I did not really like it. But than I saw the “wasp” and I connected to it. 🐝

Thanks for a great review (both of them). Going through your Pros and Cons, the real shame for me is the lack of proper mudguards and resulting 'crud' that gets thrown everywhere. Given the number of wet days we get here in the UK (esp in Cheshire) that's a lot of cleaning. Otherwise, a great bike and going on my short list.

Thanks for the info!
Amazed by your work, as always! Well done! I have one question though. I used to have a Street Triple R (like the one you had) which was a really amazing bike, will it be noticeably worse this one for everyday commuting plus occasional fun rides?

The old Street Triple is superior in every way (except electronics!)
Great review TMF👍. Maybe the aftermarket will come out with chain adjusters with integrated bobbins. Not smitten with the looks but overall the quality and function I would expect from Honda.

No problem 👍
Great update on the bike,I'm hoping to book a demo ride on one next month..It's a pity about the short front mudguard & poor wet weather protection from the back wheel(same issue with my Street Triple),but that can be solved with a Fender extender & rear hugger. I'm sure the aftermarket suppliers are already looking at selling Honda Hornet accesories. Regarding the centre stand,do Honda sell one as an extra?

I absolutely agree with you . But i too own a Street triple 675 ( 2015 model ) , and its MUCH better than the Hornet . ( not so much dirt high and on sides on the radiator , and on the rear light as well ) i had the optionnal rear wheel fender , that is now standard on newer models . And i dont think a front fender extender will fit the Hornet , because standard one is extremely short , and there is not so much space from the radiator .
The “clippy thing” is a fuse puller. Good review.
