Why The Honda CB750 Hornet Is 2023's BEST BARGAIN! 

650r is better in every aspect and it is the spiritual successor to the 90s CB600 Hornet….

@@KapitanPisoar1 But the new hornet's power to weight ratio and the price... i think this would be a succeful change in Honda's lineup. Sad to see in-line 4 disappearing though

@@rhapsodyofice8184 honda will keep making which bikes sells. Best at this price point. With much better torque I believe the hornet will sell.

@@KapitanPisoar1 have you tried both? No, you have not. Shut up.

@@zefautino Why the anger?

What a ugly ugly bike

For just 500 more you can get trident or mt07. One much more better looking and one probably more fun

the r&d of honda became lazy ....just one 2cylinder engine and they try to make us bite giving money to marketing and media...if u know what i mean,,,,shame on honda

@@nomanaslamkhan5000 this is better than both of them

@@nomanaslamkhan5000 did u even read up on the specs and the components?

imo the Trident is the best looking in the category, this bike is the 2nd best looking. They blended the shapes together nicely, and there are some smart and subtle color accents on this Honda. It looks modern, but mature, and doesn't look like a bike styled for teenagers like the Yamahas. Everybody hated the headlight on the Harley Pan America. Now everybody loves it. Go figure

@@dirkdiggler5164 The Trident would be my dream bike if it didn't have the shitty slow throttle response.

@@Mike-uk2oq The emissions and noise regs have gotten to the point that many new bikes just plainly don't run properly.

@@dirkdiggler5164 Nah they deliberately did that to appeal to "beginner riders". Well I am a beginner rider, and I don't want a bike that thinks I'm an idiot, I want direct throttle response.

@@Mike-uk2oq Possibly. But I've heard of very many new motorcycles that reviewers say have "fueling" issues. Even on this vid, Bob said this Honda's throttle is "choppy". I don't seem to remember reading any reviews of 1980s or 1990s motorcycles where fueling or throttle was ever a problem.

It will, but use riders aid. Performance is comparable with the GSXR-750R of my youth..

I also started on CB300R but want to go CB650R next

wait for hornet 1000

I like everythIng except the dash and headlight. It would be more hornet if it had one of those psyclops eyes like the mt09.

Transalp is perfect for us brooooooo. Transalp under 10 Lakh on road🤤 If honda price hornet well like it is abroad, it is nice too.

The z900 is a lot bulkier than I thought it would be. The mt-09 is a lot more compact. Z900 seems big even for a litre bike

@@chrishart8548 isnt z900 not a liter? The sugomi is the litre one

If the z900 had a lower tail section I would already own one.. I don’t understand why the tail is a) part of the frame and not bolted on. B) such a ridiculous angle...

by the looks of the engine side on, its looks seem derived from a bored out and slightly stroked CBR 600 block, so really its a super hornet ala Roadrash-escue 6/75 (verses RR's 7/11 (GSX-R 750/1100) - and since the old/original Hornet itself wasn't big.. BUT being a Twin, essentially half a Blackbird engine if it were to have been engine designed by HRC, ...but more likely, engineeringly, just half an oversised VFR merged with NVT/XRV in the lines of the modern small to mid size parallel twin, hopefully utilising aspects of Honda's higher performing CBR's (inc' CBR 600, 900, 954, 1000, & CB500, CBR-F) - yeah sorry that's a broad spread of influences to be distilled within a design.. but ...Honda/HRC/Mugen.

I didn’t get to ride the cb750 but got to sit on and push it around a bit but the weight is all at the top so confirmed my choice of z650rs being better for my needs

Haha I want more motorcycle comparisons based on price. The 8s is the same price as an MT-09...... People shop with a budget, I want to see those.

The other comparison is the GSX S750. Quick and handles well. Not much tech and looks a bit old... Cheaper where I live.

Couldn’t agree more regarding the headlight. I can’t live with it , hopefully they’ll address the issue.

Yep. This thing's a part-bin bike already. Idk why Honda doesn't recycle that CB650R headlight which looks way better than this CB500F headlight

Part of me thinks the reason it’s basically a Cb500f is to eliminate some of the variables that can go wrong with a new motorcycle... sort of keep the fail points to a minimum... and obviously the 8s is 9600 usd..... not good.

@@stubbingtonmarigold3032 Made in Japan vs Thailand. Hard to make it cheap for Suzuki. Honda is cheating by using much cheaper labor.

@@nestserau You do know the Hornet is made in Japan, right?

🙏🙃

For pricing, mine cost me 10600 euros with the sports package.. we're truely screwed as allways in the netherlands.

Is it coming to the US? I don’t see it on Honda websites. Would love to try one.

@@Allie_Rose heared nothing about the US specifically unfortunatly

@@Allie_Rose It will be announced later for US as always.

Agree. That’s why I went with a 2023 gsx s1000. Don’t want gimmicks and useless tech. Just a solid reliable motor and something fun to ride.

Sharpie

Las Vegas Christmas lights!

The gsxs750, z900

did you have any problem?

Thanks for the support Boris! Looking forward to riding the GSX too!

Speed twin 1200 has 100hp and a 160. Lovely bike.

I will keep my 03 900 as well!

Fuel mileage is claimed at about 25km/l

Yeah make sure there aren’t any problems with the engine in a known chassis and then build a GT, CBR and CL with this engine.

Thanks FW! Glad you're enjoying the bike and good to hear some winter riding feedback. We've got another video coming up soon on this channel, and I also just published a vlog here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z_iAYgls-9w.html

Already watch it 🙂 and left the same comment. Thanks for the great vids, you are the best, well you and Neavsey lol

And, move the foot pegs for more long-distance room. Yeah, all over that!

It’s called Transalp 😉

Great minds think alike😅

That's a good idea 👀

i dont think so cb would have weaker lowend he can be misleading be fact cb have more top end other words diffrenc between lowend vs topend can be biger in cb but lowend maybe not wors than mt we must wait for true test or comparision with dyno and roll on last gear race etc 😁👌🏻 beside it can have difffrent gearing so depend how you look at this can givve diffrent verdict gear vs gear or rpm vs rpm at the same velocity give diffrent results if gearing is diffrent 👍🏻 feg if on last gear mt at 100 km/h spin 5 k rpm and cb 4 k rpm (4 k rpm in cb would not have place on 99% thats just egzample 👌🏻) than even if engine at the same rpm in cb generate more power =better lowend at the same rpm than still mt can win such initial roll from 100 up to some specified velocity cos it use completely diffrent engine rpm where it have more power 😁👌🏻 i think cb would have not worse lowend than mt in terms rpm to power level feg 2 vs 2 k rpm 3 vs 3 4 vs 4 5 vs 5 k rpm 👌🏻 but will see when true test came out like motorradmwoth all telemetry turn on and dyno 😎ok 6 is actually overgear cos 100 is at 4 k rpm now im found some test 👌🏻

OH! 4. There is no full black version, sure the red frame and forks are nice, but it's abit too much imo. If there is no cbr coming and the 500's don't get a 270° crank I'd upgrade to this from my 500.

Aftermarket should have it covered hopefully

1. You can add a mud guard if you wish, but evidently the shock isn't going to suffer. 2. Do you buy a bike to show off or to ride it? if 160 rides better why on EARTH would you want a 180 lmao 3. Guess aftermaket will have to cover you there.

Could still probably fit a 180 on the wheel anyway. I know some have fitted a 180 on a nc750 with no issues. And a rear hugger is what you're thinking of. And don't most bikes come with an awful stock exhaust?

@@Surpriseify I ride a 500 with a 160, there is a reason I want a 180. And yes it's only for looks here

Me either! Definitely think the engine will go well in that style of bike

It will be, but the mt-07 might have better suspension by the time this gets here ( you know they import a single one until every single last 650r has been sold in North America)

@@stubbingtonmarigold3032 I'm sticking with honda

Bar end mirrors are awful

At that point get neon under glow, a fog machine and a jacket with a plethora of tassels.

@@stubbingtonmarigold3032 dont gotta roast a mans like that :p

If you actually end up getting one and modding the headlight I'd love to see that.

It's seems you like to make friends with the towing companies. And pay more for something that will leave you stranded.

Reliability is obviously important and I agree that Honda’s are generally bulletproof. I’ll definitely test ride a Hornet next year.

Be careful with the 660, aprilias other bikes really don’t have problems but the 660 has been plagued with them. I always see them in for problems at the dealer I visit.

A CL750 ... hell yeah

You realize a couple things right ? 1) it’s got as many shared parts as it can to keep it cheap. 2) the advantage on having the same parts is limiting unknown failure points 3) they are going to discover weak points before they make a CL/CBR

Won't be any 4 cylinder bikes soon

@Overlander 123 Wasp vs. Hornet

So far, it looks like the Suzi has more attitude

@@ElCoco1984 bells & whistles count for this 'ole returning rider.

@@ElCoco1984 Too bad the suspension on the MT07 is atrocious.

So the Honda .. cause the 8s is the same price as an MT-09....

@@ElCoco1984 They haven't even announced the price

💙 you'll get there bro we believe in ya:p

There are no Honda’s in showrooms where I am.. and actually there are no civics either.

If you were after a CRF 300... At one time, the dealer got 5, less than 1 week later, all gone. No new batch for months.

Not only was 750 big , 90 hp was a serious number.... but you didn’t want to get your bell-bottom jeans stuck in the chain.

@@stubbingtonmarigold3032 I always wore 501's and Army surplus combat boots with my Bell Star,, lol

Transalp 750.

@@slakk5093 Thanks - i did have a look after and realised that they already had this bike with the Hornet 750 twin, but no price yet
