Seven-fifty twins are just a magical displacement class, and always have been. A perfect balance between size, performance, weight and maneuverability. And now one of the best 750s the world has ever seen has come to America: the Honda CB750 Hornet, a bike that just about owns the category in Europe. Once it’s on the street here, you’re going to see what all the buzz is about.
Features may include:
The new engine’s parallel-twin design helps deliver a narrow profile for superior cornering, and delivers a power-to-weight ratio that’s one of the best in the class.
The big, bright, five-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display gives you a choice of six display settings with all the information you’ll need while riding, and also interfaces with Honda RoadSync, letting you link your phone with your bike.
Opening up the rider triangle lets you sit up a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point than hardcore sportbikes. Plus, most riders will find it a bit more comfortable, too.
The six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter means you can upshift without the clutch under full power.
