I've had my white one 2 months and done about 650 miles on it and loved every one. As you say an amazing machine. I agree about the quickhifter and only use it when pushing on(most of the time) Find it hard to fault except for the slightly bland looks which you forget about as soon as you start riding. Took mine for a 4 hr blast a couple of weeks a go and overtook every bike I saw no matter what it was. Its so easy to ride fast. Best £7000 I've spent. Its a second bike for me but now the 1st bike I grab the keys for when I go for a ride. Try one if you haven't but be warned you'll want to buy one when you do.
I like the way it looks
So many negative comments about the look but I love it.
Great stuff. I haven’t always seen bikes in the same light as you but agree 100% with you on this Hornet. 👍🏻
i have the 500 Hornet as a commuter, seriously thinking the 750 might replace my XSR900 and one bike for all
Love the laughter and shreeks of joy, seems like quite a fun bike, great sound too. Glad you included turning traction control off in your video. Shows what the bike is really like! I hear a lot of people saying some middle weight bikes lack power but in my opinion its more of a testament as to how good traction control has got. I ended up buying a Ducati Supersport which some think is under powered, turn off all the electronics and its a different bike. Cant go much faster after the wheel comes up anyway!
Great video! Your laughter and woops said it all! I had a test ride on this bike. Same spec i think, but white. I don't know why ppl are saying it's ugly! My wife and i love its looks. I was buzzing for days after the ride. Awesome bike, great handling, and is so going to be bought by me very soon.
Great review! Enjoyed seeing true unbiased enthusiasm.
Such a satisfying video🤩🤩🤩
Great review,, thank you. Mine is awaiting collection. Sports pack, however now thinking I should invest in the exhaust option? Cheers.
If you are going to commute or use it year round, then a rear hugger and a proper front mudguard would improve things massively.
Yes agree on the hugger it’s a must unfortunately I have had 2 from Pyramid but both were out of shape, problem with their mould.
Try get a cb650r if you haven’t had one yet, very different bikes would love your opinion
Great vid buddy, I think middle weight bikes are so much fun. 1000's just want to hurt you lol.
Next time you go down that road to Barton le clay, go to the pudding shop. Great coffee and cake 👍🏼👌🏼
I Bought one in yellow, love that bike. It’s my first bike, so for now it has plenty of power for me😂 it’s a really fun bike and it does pull harder than the mt07.
90 hp power is enough for every one and of course this new engine punishes the poor old mt07 all day! Ride safe man!
@@billk9799
Thanks buddy
The laughing/giggling/screaming when you did the accelerations haha that was mint
Yes it was an entertaining insight 😁😃👍
Hi mate, great video, I’m tempted by one but you put in the thumbnail ‘this is why it’s so cheap’ so why is it so cheap? What’s the catch?
You don’t say in the video???
I like it so much I bought one, got the sports pack and SC project can. It’s absolutely fantastic, brilliant engine, very light and great handling. Got the black one and I like the looks. Great review...
The black looks amazing. Rode it, can check it on my channel. Have fun mate.
...nice review...
I prefer this over the new Suzuki, had many Honda’s over the years. I like how it looks too.
I test road one today with tge sport pack abd Sc project pipe lije a bloody V8 hemi ❤❤
Norton way Honda are great Dealer
Very good Customer Service .
But Even they cant get me a Hornet
Till September 2023..
Thats how popular this Bike is
Nice looking bike. Old skool chrome headlight is all its missing or something to incorporate the frame colour 😊
I like it. It looks good
All who have been getting the SC project are going to be kicking themselves when they discover the Leo VInce LV Race exhaust that is soon to be released!
I test rode this and I loved it. Was manually blipping down shifts and chucking it into corners way faster than I usually would - this bike really encourages this sort of riding. The back wheel would even start to slide a bit. Then out of the corner rev it fully out. It was amazing tbh. Noticed the rear shock was a little bouncy. But, nothing as bad as what people are making it out to be. Unfortunately for me, 6ft 1'', I did find it a little cramped. My bum was hurting after less than 30 mins (although I had just ridden the GSX-8S just before, so take that with a pinch of salt) and was constantly pressed up against the passenger seat. At traffic lights I found I sometimes stood with the bike between my legs like a bicycle because it was so ridiculously short. I would say the steering and agility is what really stood out for me. Felt a lot like my Giant road bicycle. Second what stood out was the engine. Has a tonne of character and revs up really quick delivering really good power for the road. I am really tempted to buy even though I don't fit well - that should tell you something. Well done Honda. But please, what on earth were you thinking with that styling. Give us a sport bike version quickly please, at least you know how to design those. Also, please don't make it so cramped.
How’d you find it compared to the 8S?
The 8S had a lot more midrange torque but doesn't last all the way to the top. It was more of a muscle bike than a corner carver. The torque was the only thing that was addictive about that bike. It wasn't particularly agile, think Suzuki SV650 - neutral handling, not particularly fast steering. Still, the suspension was better than the Honda. It wasn't cramped either, I had space. Engine note wasn't as nice as the Honda. That's one thing that really made me like the Honda actually. I didn't particularly like the way the 8S sounds. It also vibrated a bit. TBH, I would look at the Aprilia Tuono or RS600 at that price range, and if u can stretch, maybe even a triumph street triple. @@florme6494
@@Omar-kw5ui wow, what a reply. Thank you. Seems like the 8S is somewhat boring in comparison. Speed (tall power band), sound and nimbleness being the main factors.
Hey im 6ft 1 too. Im currently in the process of getting my mod 2 and looking for my first big bike after.
I'm learning on the mt 07 and its pretty comfortable, would you say the hornet is similar in ride height etc with it? Also i ride a cb125f and it feels fine then again it is a small bike XD.
Cool vid😎🇨🇦
It's amazing how many people drive/ride through red lights now-a-days, you have to wait for the green!
How would you compare this in terms of fun in the twisties with your old street triple?
Great video! I ordered mine in April and it was due in July. Now due in August. The wait hurts!
I wish mine was August I've been told October to November at the earliest for my black one 😢
@@collins735 Daaamn! I hope you at least get some OK weather rides in before it's frosty! 👍🙏
I'll probably get it in time for it to sit in the garage and tease me all winter 🥶😭🤣
@@collins735 Order the heated grips and brave the chill! 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Did you get it?
Whats your inside leg? Good video!
Well someone was having fun 😂😂😂 although id swerve it mate as for me a bike definitely has to look good as well as ride good and that Hornet is a munta 🐷 but i hear bro 👊🏻
We can't get the yellow option in OZ 🤔
Hi have you riden the new Suzuki to compare it. A lot of people in reviews prefer the Suzuki and it handles better and they say this Hornet moves around a lot in corners and suspension is not great. 👍
I had a test ride on one with sports pack and it was brilliant. I think you've tipped me over the edge. May be heading down to make a deposit. Quickshifter I think is the biggest must on that bike. £200~ megaupgrade
When I first saw the hornet I didn't think it looked nice either. After a few minutes, I think it looks quite nice
Can you take the new 2023 Street Triple RS for a test ride please
I was thinking about getting the 2024 model mt10 or maybe the tracer 9gt plus. That is, until I saw this 😊
nice performer , but i do not want the quickshitifter thingy ;;;
Is it me or does it almost idle a little bit like a ducati because of the gurgly pops
I think the reason why this bike isn’t sold that well, is because of its generic looks. I’m not saying it’s ugly (far from that), however, it lacks character compared to the MT-07 or the Duke but especially the trident, I think a larger rear tire and a more aggressive headlight would’ve really underlined the Hornet’s hooligan heritage (the HHH, as I call it).
When you get on that bike it really sounds like it’s gasping for air specially in a high RPMs
I like the looks of the Hornet, apart from the headlight. I really don't like these insect like headlights bikes have these days, I'd put a round headlight on it and, for me personally, that would be great.
or an Oval-type Headlight like those on the Ducati Monsters, similar to a BMW 1200R. But at least they didn't copy Yamaha, the headlight used on their bikes is Awful.
Even though it's pretty much the same headlight as the CB500, it does fit the name, because it looks like a hornet's head. But I can see why people aren't too crazy about the insect headlights. The new MT07 looks awful.
Yeah, the CB750 TWIN is fugly. You would like the CB600F-5/6 Hornet.
Thanks for the review; you’re obviously very keen. Very good bike, good value, lots of tech’ (for the mullah), playful handling and good stoppers. But….I rode my mate’s Hornet last week and whilst I agree with your praise of it, I didn’t like the need to constantly churn the box to get the revs. I was expecting more torque lower down and because it hasn’t got an abundance of it there, it felt tiresome to ride over distance. Everything else pretty damn good, though, except the looks - distinctly average.
Obviously you rode a different bike, it’s got very decent torque everywhere in the rev range. It is quick to rev, but it is quite happy to potter around in 4th at 25 mph and still have plenty of ompth when called for.
Erm, no….it was deffo a new Hornet in dark grey with black frame (actually not a bad looker in this colour), but I stand by what I say. The playful (quick) steering is exciting but can also make it feel unplanted. I’m not criticising the Hornet, it’s a cracking scoot for the money, but imho, I’d like to see the power lower down.
@@nigelfisher3756 i somewhat disagree 🫤 I don’t think its lacking nothing in torque low down. OK, granted it isn’t a Harley but then it doesn’t run out of steam too quickly either.
Can the quickshifter be installed later on? Or does it have to be ordered with the bike?
It can be installed later on
It’s more interesting than gsx8s, this thing got more torque even with same cc.
O dear only a 160 rear. My cbx1000 came with a 130…..
I like that bike but i am 197 cm tall. You think i can fit in that thing?
A few questions...
Is the tank steel or is there a plastic cover over the actual tank?
Is the frame steel?
Where is the bike assembled?
Is the horn button over the turn signal switch?
The tank is steel
Made in Thailand.
you had a blast on that, wow! ugly girl and pornstar had me laughing out loud, very good analogy..... it is too cramped for me which I put down to my 34in inside leg - weirdly my old CB500F wasnt cramped, so it's probably just a few mm in it - good review !
would rather my old 07 CB 919 hornet couldn't twist throttle much on take off would wheel stand ........does the new 750 hornet.....go that well?
Well it's way lighter and has about 10hp less so.. probably?
Those 9ers do have insane torque though
Soundtechnisch finde ich den Ixil RC besser (Hab den auch an meiner Hornet dran)
You can't ask someone to watch the video in the video you want them to watch 😄
Lovely bike!!! Do you think it is beginner friendly!? I am 52 years old, 183cm high with 110kg and like this Honda for A2! Regards from Serbia 🇷🇸✌️
It's a brilliant bike, easy to ride, handles well but goes like stink when you want it to. 42 years of riding pretty much every day on all bikes from fs1es to harleys & everything in between from the 1950s to present day state of the art beasts & I have to say this bike is one of the nicest I have ever ridden.
shocking how many times you let go of the handle bars.
waiting for retro version
Lovely bike !. I take it the one youre riding is run in I hope, seeing as you seem to be redlining it a lot ...
Well I guess it definitely is run in now?
@@BikesofRye LOL . Pretty sure a Hornet will be my next bike !.
It's a presser. Many other people have abused it before this guy got his hands on it
I can't look at that 160 rear...
I thought the slip on was £900?
powerful ?
It just looks like Honda are playing catch-up with the MT-07.
The first comment I saw was praising the looks. Thats the thing I dislike most. Naff
🏍👍👍
Bike only has a 160 rear tire. Should have a 180 on rear. That 95 hp is going to destroy those tires.
The exhaust is still in the way of the wheel. And the sound to me is still sad. I can only imagine how much worse it was from standard. If the exhaust was tucked under the bike and the headlights done better it would've had a chance from me. The real pornstar here is the CB650R.
For a £600 slip-on surely it looks good but sounds awful not because of the slip-on itself but because of the engine characteristics and because the original cat converter is still on the bike, no matter what exhaust you put on a motorcycle, if the cat is still present, the sound will suffer big time.
Tested it back to back with the gsx 8s and went for the 8s a much better bike , the hornet is revy it vibrates thought tge pegs, bars, and tank to enjoy the power you have to rev all the time and the plastics are cheap poor fit and finish, 8s is better in all areas worth 700 pounds thats the differance if you fit a quick shifter, allso the hornet is due to go up 300pounds according to honda in bridgend
I’m sure it’s a banger but it won’t be a new engine as such, it’ll be a bored and/or stroked 4 cylinder engine of previous Honda creation.
Loads cheaper to produce than a v twin as well as one set of heads/cams etc.
No disrespect as most manufacturers are doing the same thing
Sounds amazing, looks awesome, crazy engine. Shame about the moped style rear tyre... I don't think I trust it.
A bike producing this much power does not need a 180 section rear tyre, unsprung weight is very inportant, large rear tyres and front discs are just showroom bling,
I love and Respect Honda a lot but the Headlight is a thing only a Mother (ore the „Designer“) could love….
that pornstar example lool agree with you
It looks cheap with that ugly headlight, that being said I definitely will buy one of it comes to the states
it has a crap triple clamp... just look at its transalp's bros one...
also "neo honda" wrong position horn/indicator button.
So then... Why is it so cheap? I found no explanation?
Cos it rides amazingly but too ugly to buy 😂.
£600 for the SC? Try £900
I don’t think it’s an ugly bike
If you put that 750 engine in the 2022 cb 500f chassis, you would have a great motorcycle. They need to improve the looks of this bike. It’s mossing something, or it’s that ugly ass exhaust
Well did you like it?😁😂
Wish I was young enough to share your obvious enthusiasm. :-) Personally I would feel happier if you kept your hands on the bars especially when you are making a public video, and a little more care in covering the speedo when riding enthusiastically would prudent when viewed by others.
Ok grandpa
the 2018 ktm duke 790 better in every way
Not for everyone.
Just stupid constantly taking both hands off the bike. If you want to be taken seriously I think you need to address that.
The fuel tank is too small
Power, engine breaking, traction control modes. Paying for stuff experienced motorcyclists don't need, because we control all that stuff with the throttle.
I dont like the sound
I would kill myself on that, better just get a ninja 400.
Delivery times are absolute aids
I'm sure it's a great bike but it looks hideous.
Medieval laws, nonstop rain you want a bike for what?😂😂
slow
I no longer want a Honda!!!!
I feel betrayed by honda for40 years honda has teased us, then not come thru.
I have ridden hondas for 50 years now l wll buy only Yamaha.
Awful sound, hornet should be 4 cylinder.
Sounds wayyyyy better than an inline 4 in person.
@@DavidSmith-hn5gglol. 2 cylinder will never be better than inline 4 in sound
@@classicdufferin8739 that’s what I thought until I rode the Hornet, totally changed my mind. Love that low grumble compared to the buzzing in-line 4.
Slip on wont do it justice. Listen to the mt07's with a full exhaust, its a great sound
I mean… this bike was created to be an MT-07 killer (for each more cylinder it’d have to cost 700£ more, so take that into consideration), so a P2 engine was an obvious choice by Honda. However, if you really strive for the trad Hornet vibe, then get the cb650r: it’s a more sportier choice in terms of suspension, ergonomic and firmness, while it also has your beloved inline 4. Imho, it also looks better.
Ugly, the gsx8s is infinitely better looking and bikes are supposed to look good
Taking both your hands off the handlebars is driving without due care and attention. Don't film yourself doing it
Wow, that was a horribly sexist comment, pal. You know the one I mean.
You white knight simp king.
🧐
if your that butt hurt about a laughable jokey comment, go outside and touch grass
Jeez, get a life….what do you do when you’re not having fun?
I guess your preference is the other sex
