The Honda CB750 Hornet has finally landed in the U.S. for 2025 after two years in Europe. It’s powered by a 755cc Unicam parallel-Twin shared with the XL750 Transalp and includes a 270-degree crank and five ride modes. Other features include Showa suspension, Nissin brakes, a stiff steel-diamond frame, upright ergos, and a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
We head to California’s scenic Sierra Nevada foothills to test this bike from twisty canyons to highways. This middleweight Hornet impressed us with its versatile performance, capable of everything from commuting to backroad bombing at a reasonable MSRP of $8K.
