Budget middleweight kicks. Honda CB750 Hornet ridden | MCN Review

I’ve owned this bike now for 3 weeks. The worst issue is the fueling and jerky throttle. It’s terrible

Greatest regret to buy a monster sp now ngl

Did these guys ever revieuw the 2000/2006 models? I want their opinion on it

It’s so nice, to hear a honest review!
I owned it for 3 months now, and I completely agree with you.
2 worst things is
1 the on/off throttle in roundabouts. I still have a hard time getting used to that.
2 the crashy suspension, can send some nasty kicks up to your back wenn riding over something.

The “ sensitive “ steering I’m used to now and I like it. It’s easy to flick around and side to side. I think it’s a personal thing, and in my opinion not a negative.

The “planted” feeling of the bike, hmm I don’t know. Maybe it’s because it’s so steering sensitive, that you don’t get that planted feeling.
I’m a total noob and new to motorcycles, so I don’t want to argue with a veteran and a guy, who rides motorcycles for a living 😂
Again great honest review 👌🏻👌🏻

When might we see a Middleweight Shootout including the Honda CB750 Hornet, Suzuki GSX-8S, and the Yamaha MT007?

BAJAJ, TVS, HERO, ROYAL ENFIELD, KINETIC are the best motor bikes in the entire world.

Honda are making some good bikes.

The fuel tank is too small

I wish they would stop making motorcycles look like something out of a transformer movie 😢

Hmmm .. looks like a MT-07 clone ..and only 8 years after the Yamaha came out , Honda studied the market for that long .. ‘
And said ‘Yes .. Let’s do it , let’s do a MT-07 copy’

What dynamically better bikes are there? The Kawasaki Z900 RS??

I love these shots

So this needs an ECU flash as all the new bikes.....

CB 750 Hornet is awesome bike. Price/Power/Weight/Quality

Now, after riding this bike for a couple of hours. I would have to disagree with your comments. I thought it was a great handling, super well fuelled machine. Better that it has any right to be in all honesty. But what do I know? 😂

What model bike would be a good replacement the front forks?

Like it. Styling not a problem as I'm getting on so don't want an aggressive looking bike. Had an 04 hornet, which having ridden sports bikes for the last 15 years would go amiss as I'm starting to get kn abit. How about a test ride through Central London. Delivery ride. Ta.

best analysis ive heard, up to now. 👍

great review sir

Styling looks cheap 😢

Like it. Had a hornet 04. Go well with my gsxr as I'm in my 50s now. Suspension might need looking at down the line. Looks OK to me.

Test rode one. Throttle is better than my mt09, my tracer 700, and my wife's mt07. Yes, when you first get on it, the steering feels almost too quick, but you soon realise it just changes direction really quickly ...ordered one immediately after the test ride.

Please put 2023 Honda CL500 Scrambler on your review list, and will it be available in USA?Thanks.

I think if KTM could sort out the realibility issues with the Duke then the returning 790 is probably the best middleweight naked out there. The Honda Hornet falls short only on looks. wish they could make it look a little bit more beefy in the buttocks.

deff small bike for u. yur tall. yall wanted elec throttle- thats what u get with it: jerky. like a driveshaft bike. sounds pretty good with the 270 crank, any other advantages to that opposed to a 180?

Ive heard people criticise MCN , in my opinion they do the best reviews and they do understand that not everyone are track aces.
Great review.

Every other reviewer has had great things to say about this bike. However your review is the most negative

What if they take the Africa Twin's engine, make it revvier, slap it on a naked bike and call it a CB1100 Hornet. Would be some sort of poor man Superduke I reckon

This engine could power a new vfr 750. Imagine a large fuel tank 6 gallons plus cruise control with supple suspension and comfortable ergonomics.

I bought a hornet new in 1999 for £4500 ,just sold it to a friend last year because he really wanted it , I remember I went to trade it in for a Honda blackbird in 2002 and the dealer offered me £3500 , which I agreed , a week later I phoned him up and said I didn’t want to trade it ( he said you can’t want more money for it , I said no I just can’t sell , just give me the blackbird anyway , which was also a great bike , £7000 in todays money it’s a bargain I’d say 🏍🏍👍👍

what kinda shoes is he wearing

My first bike was a brand new y2k hornet, i think I paid £4400.
In my mind the name doesn’t belong on a twin pot. The CB650 would be more deserving of the name.
I agree, it just looks bland to me.

Solid review. Thanks Michael. I know its down on numbers but I'm keen to see how the new Suzuki stacks up. It looks a little more premium going off photos. But ultimately how they all ride is the most important factor.

Sounds like the Kawasaki H2 owners club are having a meet up just out of shot.

Good value for money. Shame it looks nothing like the concept sketches. Something like the upcoming cfmoto 800nk will probably be a better bike and priced the same.

Alot of bike for the money however it is bland but a round headlight would make a difference

Nice commercial, cant wait for real reviews :)

I'm sorry but that's one of the ugliest tail ends i've ever seen. It's just too long for this bike.

Would have Honda died if they offered it in red and black? Like I don't know... EVERY HONDA EVER?

ULTRA! ☀️🤠 GOD I WANT HONDA HORNET! 🏍️

Nice review. Finally a decent mid weight Honda!! Yay!. I rode a 500 for years. Soft suspension but you knew where the bike was. The CB650 was revy and did not feel as well build as my CBR500R. Underdamped suspension that felt cheap and gear box not as crisp. The CB750 sound like a great middle weight bike and great value. Cool. May be suspenders could be improved.

It looks like an SF Grom and i love it. Forget how you clowns feel im getting this when it comes to the US

So it is a great time for a Middleweight shootout !!

Great review .The bike looks to have very little ground clearance. also it could do with a bash plate but I don't see how that can be mounted. The engine sounds and performs well. I think the Transalp is arguably the more all-round bike.

A couple things I find disappointing, (more eye candy than how it may perform) The exhaust looks like it belongs on a 350 rather than a cb750 and the swing arm looks cheap, like it came straight off the NC750

Why do you call it budget? That's saying that even if you really like the bike you should be looking at something more expensive. Are we really at that stage now where we have to aspire to own the most expensive bike for it to be the 'best'? Even if a 'cheaper' bike is something we prefer?

Great review. I've got a 1998 Hornet 600 which I love to death, and I was VERY sceptical of Honda reviving the Hornet as a parallel twin but it sounds like it's actually alright.
Though I won't get one myself, it's great to see Honda offering a good bike which will get people interested in the brand again.

They shouldn’t call it hornet.

Painted front shock should be more common

it looks similar to the cb500f
