2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet Design Preview

Honda introduces the most powerful Hornet yet, a motorcycle with huge performance potential. The CB1000 Hornet is powered by the CBR1000RR Fireblade’s four-cylinder engine, Throttle By Wire control, three riding modes with pre-programmed combinations of Power, Engine Braking and HSTC with Wheelie Control settings, plus two customisable options. With gear ratios designed for optimum acceleration, the six-speed gearbox features an assist/slipper clutch. 41mm Showa SFF-BP inverted forks are complemented by a Showa rear shock and Pro-Link linkage system; radial-mount four-piston front brake calipers work with 310mm floating discs. The dual LED projector headlight reflects the pure aggression of streetfighter styling. And for easy navigation (and more) the 5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster connects the rider to their smartphone via Honda RoadSync.
