2023 Honda Hornet 750 in-depth walk round - Cheap thrills or just cheap?! 🐝
Рет қаралды 27,909
Жыл бұрынHey Everyone,
This is just a walk round vlog whilst I give my broken fingers a little bit of healing time before I get on this bike properly and give it a good hooning!
This video is for people that want to know lots about the bike, what it looks like for someone my weight and height to sit on it, what the accessories and packs are like.
Riding footage will come!
Thanks for your patience :)

I wish I had watched this before taking one out for a ride review the other day. The dash set up you have there, makes everything much clearer. Being an old school fuddy duddy, I didn’t use the quick shifter, but recognise how much fun could be had with that 😇. I just rode the Hornet like I used to ride my original Hornet back in the day, it made me feel young again 😂. As for the visual quality, we can spend a fortune on equipment, then try and find a perfect place to do a walk around/photo, but with so many people about, and constantly changing light conditions, it is extremely difficult to get the perfect footage or shot every time. Great walk round, chat, content and information, thank you.

Honda did the right thing with the engine, even though I think they should have named the CB650 as hornet and find some new catchy name for the CB750, just so the people would stop complaining and buy whatever bike they feel like buying. 270 Twins are the best for the road hands down.

Had mine for 3 weeks now and so far it is cracking. Went from a duke to this and personally prefer the Honda. I have said before it looks much better in the flesh than photos or videos and the sound from the exhaust has a great note. Rides smoothly with plenty of poke and it does exactly what you want it to do, put a grin above your chin. Happy days

270 degree P-TWIN for the win! Sounds great in the various videos I've seen! Everything is throttle-by-wire now...so I hate when manufacturers don't add cruise control by default on the low and mid-range bikes. It's just a bit of code in the ECU, so at least make it an option! Not sure when this bike will make it to the North American market, but it's one I'd consider as a 2nd bike!
