Nice review on a bike I own even the same colour and love every ride. USB under rear seat as others have mentioned. Other than the slightly dull looks not much not to like. For under 7 grand its amazing. Could do with a hugger and a different end can which I've not bought yet but will. Agree it needs a fuel distance to empty display and I've got cramp on it a couple of times too and I'm only 5 foot 9!! Mine has the quick shifter and heated grips but not much else yet. Makes me smile every time I ride it. 🙂

Yeah great review im looking at getting one test ride one next month carry on biking feller.

Just got mine a few days ago. 400 miles up so far. Even at running in revs it's fast an fun. Wasn't running in the demo bike weeks ago so I know what it will be like afrer! Had a tracker 700 a while back, this better in every way, power, suspension, handling, ease of use, tech....loving it.

USB under rear seat

I have to agree Mr. Fish, some parts of the design of the bike looks thrown together.

Very entertaining review! Would like to see you review the Suzuki GSX-8S and compare? Sorry to hear about your small fish fingers!

usb c type is under the seat but i am yet to get a plug to go into it , the rubber housing on mine is tight and grips the plug, i am unable to push it into the socket am i doing something wrong ??? i llke the pearlescent white paint and also the red forks but would look much better if the frame was the same shade of red, have had over 200 miles before a refill, regularly over 70 mpg

Good final round up of the Hornet 750 Mr Fish.

Wish they would bring this bike to the USA

Cosmetics are ok, but should have a centre stand fitted for this bike. That would be perfect for me.

Nice honest final thoughts vid . 👍 Your first 2 hate/no likey points are spot on. USB charge point, an absolute must. And knowing your range is pretty damned important too. No point being a mile down the road from the nearest petrol station when a low fuel light comes on. If you now your range, then you know when to stop...

I would love to see Honda make a Rebel 750 with this engine. A decently powered middle weight / entry cruiser. 😊

The mrs would love that rear seat. The cb650r is much smaller. But the clutch leaver issue is the same! Too much travel for the hand. I just couldn’t buy it due to the front light assembly, it’s a shocker! Great review thanks!

Hello Sir would you change the mirrors or leave as is ?

I agree.. the front headlight is not great. I hope Honda make a 'R' version of this bike (ie sporty naked, like a Tuono 660). That would be really something,

The headlight is all aero so yeah it’s not a looker but the light is the reason is has such good wind deflecting at speed.

It is a wonderful machine... I am waiting for mine, in black. Ah, the design, the design... A theme where all the people are expertise and each one has a very solid and consistent opinion. The Red Dot Award has one, too!

Nice vid! Still waiting for mine, been told its august now :/ As others have said, the USB-C is under the seat, but easily missed as its inside a waterproof housing with a cap on the end 👍

The headlight is atrocious. It literally puts me off buying, looking at Triumph or SV650 instead, or even CB650R.

Do you ever encounter the odd tractor or two? Nah the red frame is very nice with the white or black,yellow paint jobs- very Italian. Cruise control would be nice though I suppose they’re trying to keep the price down. I don’t bother with USB outlets on my CB500F. No up/down shifters or ride modes either. I suppose it maybe nice to have but do you really need it?

I said exactly the same as you about the front end on another channel last night...including ''you can't see it when you are on the bike!' 🙂 Unfortunately, you can see iit when you get off and walk away..and look back..... It would be the Silver / Grey for me, that red frame / forks doesn't do it any favours whether it matches or not.The 'sandblasted' yellow looks horrible to my eyes. Suprised you didn't mention the short front mudguard that needs an extender or that it needs a rear hugger, I guess you'd have noticed if it had chucked it down with rain a few times! 🙂 Great review agree with every word.

Love

Great looking bike!! This version wasn't released here in the U.S. was it??

This is a Honda, the best, most reliable brand you can buy. You said this bike isn't "crazy quick", compared to what? To a super sport? No, it's not but it's a naked bike that is clocked, tried and tested from zero to 200 KM/H in 11, 5 seconds. The only naked motorcycle that beats this time in Honda's naked line up is the CB1000R, so being the second fastest naked motorcycle you can purchase from Honda and the third fastest in top speed, for a naked, you can say it's fast. Remember, Naked Bikes and Sports Bikes are different realities. This Hornet did 229 KM/H with me on it. It's already over the limit for a naked. If I still owned my Fireblade then I would say that 229 KM/H is slow for a super sport. I've been riding for more than 30 years and it seems to me that people today do not know how to evaluate motorcycles because there are so many types and styles to choose from and they mostly do not know what riding is about. Riding is NOT about mounting a cell phone on your handle bars that's what cars are for.

Not my kinda bike...But love your reviews and the way you communicate your thoughts...Hope your good and have a great weekend Mr Fish 🙂

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

Isn't there a USB socket underneath the pillion seat? - I thought there was one there. I find the red frame and forks pretty hideous, frankly. I didn't notice the variation in shade when I looked at the bike. I have one on order, Hell knows when it will arrive.....Grey and nice, decent, clean living black frame colour. The bike is a wonder. I'm trading it in for my CB650R, that you also reviewed and, I think, liked. But, the Hornet has power all over and, despite, it's vile, Italian (with cheapo economics a factor) looks, it's too good to ignore. I'd get a Street Triple R, but the insurance for me, living in Watford, is about 10x the price - figure that! I have full no claims too.

The bike does have a USB C socket. But its under the rear seat for some stupid reason.

You can spray and change the red color on its chassis easily the real annoying is it has no fuel gauge

Is there not a usb under the seat Mr F ?

I'm not a fan of the red frame and defintely not a fan of the red forks. The mismatch in colours just make it look cheap

Agree on the looks dude.. it’s a bit marmite.. I like a bike to look at as well as ride so it’s not one for me 😊 great vid

"" 2024 HONDA CB1000R HORNET COMING SOON!! ""

USB charger is under the seat

Good bike, but I prefer the Suzuki. More low-down shove.

Hate the red forks and frame Other than that....Seems awesome

I test rode this bike before I bought the 8s. 8s fit me better at 6ft tall otherwise the Honda was perfect at £6999.

No. 1 thing I hate about the Hornet is I live in the US and you can't buy it here.

tft is small

Honda doesn't have a fuel gauge? My 2007 CBR has a fuel gauge I'm actually shocked as I was looking at one of these uprights. You're also right about the looks, with the likes of the KTM 790/890 and Yamaha's with LED front lights, that looks like a dinosaur. I think the cosmetics are important too, you wouldn't wanna be seen with anything else ugly would you 😂

Mirrors are rubbish

3:41 - Hey Mr Fish OOOOOO ... it has no USB connection, what am I gonna do? I think I'll kill myself because what's the point of a motorcycle if you can't put your phone and your laptop computer on the handle bars I mean riding a motorcycle is all about being on the internet, texting and watching youtube, right?

Tell me a public road in your country that you can go with 230 km/hour 😂😂
