Honda has officially launched the CB750 Hornet in India, and it’s already making waves in the premium middleweight motorcycle segment. Priced at Rs. 8.59 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hornet brings a solid mix of sharp design, robust performance, and cutting-edge tech. Bookings are now open at BigWing dealerships, with deliveries expected to begin from June 2025.
So, is this the streetfighter you’ve been waiting for? Let’s take a closer look.
Design
The CB750 Hornet doesn’t just ride — it stings. With sharp, aggressive bodywork, the design screams streetfighter from every angle. The muscular tank shrouds, sleek LED headlamp, and minimalist rear end all come together to give the bike a striking presence on the road.
It’s available in two stylish shades:
- Matte Pearl Glare White
- Matte Ballistic Black Metallic
Both colours offer a premium feel, enhancing its edgy look and appeal.
Engine
At the heart of the CB750 Hornet lies a 755cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. This powerplant churns out a solid 90.52 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm. It uses a 270-degree crank, giving it a distinct, throaty sound and a strong mid-range punch — ideal for both city sprints and weekend highway blasts.
The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and also features an assist and slipper clutch, making gear shifts smoother and preventing wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
Suspension
Honda has kitted the Hornet with premium Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) upside-down forks at the front. At the rear, there’s a linked monoshock setup for consistent damping and ride comfort.
This suspension setup is designed to strike a balance between everyday usability and spirited corner carving. Whether you’re gliding over city potholes or leaning hard into twisties, the Hornet’s got your back.
Brakes
Stopping power comes from twin 296mm discs up front and a 240mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is standard, providing you with confidence and control in both wet and dry conditions.
