Honda CB CB 750 HORNET A-P

Description

Registered in March 2023 on a 23 plate and now with just 15,955 miles. Presented in Pearl Glare White.

The Honda Hornet 750 is extremely light, both when you bat it between your legs at a standstill and on the road. Developed by the same group of Honda engineers that put the 2017 Fireblade on a massive diet, they’ve kept the Hornet’s weight down to 190kg fully-fuelled, giving it the best power to weight ratio in class.

It barks and booms like a big V-twin, loves to rev and unlike the old Hornet’s four pot, has an even spread of power, which you can dip into any way you want. It’s as happy plodding through town as it is banging against the limiter and reminding you its class-leading 91bhp is actually rather a lot, especially on a bike this light.

It’s small, too and looks almost toy-like by comparison for a 750. It’s slim, has a low 795mm seat, naturally placed bars and feels every inch a friendly, easy to ride Honda. Smaller riders won’t have a problem getting their feet flat on the floor and it’s not too cramped in the peg department. But for the tall the seat doesn’t have enough front to back room, causing your lower back to touch the rear seat pad, hemming you in.

The Hornet’s lightness continues in the way it steers. Not only does it change direction with next to no effort, but the steering is almost too direct until you dial yourself into it. It’s like the forks are so steep the front wheel is underneath you, which it’s not of course, rather the Honda’s keenness to change direction is down to sporty geometry.
