Honda CB1000 Hornet SP vs Kawasaki Z900SE vs Triumph Street Triple 765RS | Group Test

So I guess the MT-09 since it’s omission is obvious

claimed 58.9mpg vs tested 39mpg is BS... However, with my bike, I can easily bet at 46mpg as well as 64mpg - just depending on the style of riding

Couldn't get a 2024/25 MT09 in the mix? Good video, tho.

All lovely bikes but for me the Hornet just has the best look, saves some cost and I am a fan of in-line 4. Especially when its a fireblade, great review.

UK prices are not same abroad. Its way more than that. About 35% More.

How does middle guy get his chinstrap fastened? 😂

Where the MT10?

crazy mt09 was not here

Have ridden the kawasaki and are going to test ride the triumph next week. Not interested in the honda due to the lack of colour options. It's the most boring looking one

Those are really weird results for z900. The consuption one is the most weird. Maybe the bike is injection blocked as its not over 1000km? My MT 03 happened the same. 14km/l úntil 1000km maintence shop. Later after, went UP to 20km/l consuption

The triumph has a front end even a mother can’t love.

I have an ‘18 765R and absolutely love it. It will never leave my garage except to become a show piece in the house when I can lo longer ride.

Amazing comparisons. Thank you. Wishyou would have included the mt09

Why not the F900R? It has plenty torque, where it counts, excellent brakes and same price bracket....

looks like the kawi TC and rear sus isnt as refined... bummer.

I had a 765RS last year and upgraded to a speed. The 765RS is a beautiful thing, did the NC500 and 100 laps of brands and it did both beautifully. However, whoever designed the dash needs to be removed and replaced by someone who actually rides the bike 😂 it’s atrocious.

My 2016 Aprilla Tuono 1100 blows them all in the weeds. And for 8K or less you can never go wrong. Good luck running with a hyper in the pack. Have a great day.

Picked up my 2024 street triple R last week waiting for nice weather.

I'd probably go for the Harley Davidson. :)

Out of interest, which jeans are you all wearing?

I owned a 2013 Honda CB 1000R and i fully customized it to be a street fighter, Bar End mirrors, Nitron Shock, aftermarket exhaust, etc. I absolutely loved that bike! However, here in California, i don’t think we will see the Hornet 😢. I guess the Triumph for the win!

... and all three of them are Fugly !.

I sat on the Honda. My foot was resting on the exhaust 😂. Stupid design. Hate it.

All UK reviewers are Triumph biased. It doesn’t matter what the bike is. I’ve seen it over and over for years. Great machines though.

Compare mt09 to CB1000 sp

excellent

the Hornet price is great, but I'm waiting for next years up-spec model with an e-clutch, IMU, and e-turbo V3

I have a Mt09 sp, incredible bike. Test ride one before you buy one of those 3.

I can't understand why people are prepared to spend around £20k for a motorbike when you can get something reasonable for 10 to 13k new or nearly new. There are always discounts if are prepared to wait a while or buy off season which i always do!😁👍

Thanks for your share👍👍👍

J’ai la street triple, même modèle même couleur et c’est un régal tous les jours.
J’ai essayé pendant une heure chacune les deux autres. J’ai préféré la Z900SE à la Hornet. Bien plus douce, sophistiquée et moderne. Mais je ne remplacerais pas ma triumph par l’une des deux. Je l’aime trop. ❤😊

Can you balance the music down to not be excessively louder than the talking, headphone warning

I can’t wait to buy a striple in the next couple weeks. Will be an older model. But Ive owned gsxrs ninjas and a fireblade. I don’t need that top speed anymore. Just beauty and a great corner carver. Probably end up with a 2012-2014. If anyone’s got any tips on which model and year is best please let me know

The Triumph chassis and engine is insanely good. It's just a fun for wanking about and shortshifting, eminently more flickable. And when you want to put your head down and really go, there's just no comparison.

Mt09

I would go with the Kawasaki Z900SE with a flash.

i own a 765rs. 2021. had a 2018 aswell. perfect bike for me but god i hate the new tft layout

Even the standard Hornet. Oh the bang for the buck. Hands down, the HONDA! And I guess the reason why is we don't get it in the States.

Just read the 3 way shootout from the French mag Moto Journal in which they put the standard 1000 Hornet against the base Kawi Z900 [which is cheaper in France than the Honda] and the Suzuki GSX-S1000. First off there are no bad bikes here. They all have there pro's and con's but the Kawasaki overall came top closely followed by the Hornet and in last place was the Suzuki. In comparison they did not like the Suzuki's brakes [too wooden] and suspension set up. They loved the Honda's agility and overall handling and they loved the Kawi's mid range, fit and finish and it's more sophisticated electronics package. The Suzuki is also considerably more pricey in France.

None. Get an MT-09.

I'm very surprised the XSR900 wasn't included in this comparison.

The hornet looks cheap.

Triumph dashes, stop me buying Triumph bikes…
Love the product…great engine…. dash seems to have been designed by a kid….

I have a '22 z900 and I find actually that my heel doesnt often touch the exhaust but rather its bumping into the right passenger footpeg mount which is wild to me, if somebody actually had their foot there that could be an issue. It only happens on my right foot too, left is fine. I have pretty average shoe size

Stop saying it cost $9,999…it’s $10k you sound stupid 👈🏼

This channel’s Hibernation over
😂😂😂

Big difference in build and finishing. Honda paint will look tatty very quickly.

Kawasaki Z900SE is, without a doubt, the best in this group.
