These are my first thoughts on a test ride with the new Honda Hornet 750, mainly to see how the quick shifter works with this engine. I have also previously tested the Honda XL 750 Transalp which I really liked but had no quick shifter fitted, the Suzuki GSX-8s and the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE which I mention some comparisons to.

I think it’s far more exciting to ride than the Suzuki GS8. The Hornet engine is a peach and it has such quick handling. The Suzuki has its own good points but for me, the performance of the Hornet steals the honours

At last someone who prefers the Honda to the Suzuki. I would call the looks inoffensive,I personally like the look of the bike + I am a short arse so the low seat is a bonus,& for money it's a done deal.

I took one out for a test ride and ordered one straight away. Love the flickability of it. A pyramid hugger sorts the muck from the back wheel. Nice review

Nice review mate, I bought a hornet 2 weeks ago, and have already 650kms. I was so impressed when I test rode it I didn't bother trying out the 8s! I have ordered a slip on exhaust from Ali Express to give it even more attitude. This is bike number 27 for me and I can tell you it is possibly the best so far, it's a great bike and very hard to fault at all. It's so easy to ride and it's great fun!

Thanks. Glad you’re enjoying the bike. I was a lot more impressed than I thought I would be. It’s nothing especially groundbreaking or different to look at but when you ride it, it just really rewards you. Such great fun. That exhaust will sound great too I’m sure 👍

I bought the Transalp because the Hornet is not available in the USA. It fits me perfectly. Love that engine.

Nice video :) I was wondering how tall you are exactly and what the comfort is like for taller people, I am around 1,90 meter myself and looking at getting one of these :)

I’m exactly 1,9m, but im still pretty comfortable on my hornet. The stock seat is the only thing that isn’t comfortable if you ride more then 150 km a day.

What are your feelings on the riding position as a tall rider? I’m 6’2 and I’m seriously considering buying this but the possibility of feeling too cramped scares me :/

Hi. I was surprised that the Hornet was actually pretty comfortable (I did only have an hour test ride though). I was so much more impressed with it than I thought I would be. Regarding the riding position, when I came to a stop my legs were quite bent and I wished the seat height was higher and also I think I (also around 6ft 2) probably looked like the bike was too small for me from other peoples point of view but, bottom line, I loved riding it and when moving, I didn’t feel it was too cramped. Definitely go for a test ride if you can.

How tall are you? I’m 6’2 and think it might be on the edge? I found the triumph trident to be the most comfortable mid sized bike so far, and the CB650R quite cramped- wouldn’t like to be on it for a couple of hours!

Oh really? Is the Hornet coming to the US? What a shame, I was really impressed with it. I think you have the Transalp now, which is very good but not the same thing. Hopefully it will be available soon because it’s lots of fun for not too much money.

A frustrating watch looking at a petrol tank for nearly 20 minutes, a pity as the tall biker was quite informative.

Humour me for a moment (and no I have yet to ride a motorcycle with a quickshifter...🫣), What's the deal on having / installing said setup on your bike? Are we now in the business of shaving off one-tenths of seconds from 🚥 to 🚥🤨? Whatever happened to ✋🏾- 👁️ - 🦶🏾 coordination? #JustAsking 🧙🏽‍♂️
