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.
You can use the clutch with one finger anyway, as it is VERY smooth and doesn't need any strength at all. First time I pulled the clutch, I had to take a look on the right side of the motor, to see if the cable is attached lol.
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.
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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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???
Tho I'm not a huge fan of the retro cafe racer look, the CB650R is one sexy bike. But it is way more a commuter cruiser IMO. People gave the Hornet shit for being a 2 cylinder engine, but that one is just so fun and agile, it feels more like what a Hornet should be in my opinion, than my 2005 Hornet. And my 05er has all the possible upgrades to suspension, brakes and even carb jets fitted to my exhaust and intake. I love my bike, but the new Hornet is IMO just fun on another level.
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!
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 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
Bought the CB500 Hornet 2024 as a second bike. My primary is a S1000RR. Some people prefer the 500 over the 750 for some reason. Anyway, recommended. I would say that the Suzuki 8S presents some serious completion for the 750 though....
Putting an SC Project on that bike is like putting a real diamond on one of those plastic rings you get from a vending machine. If the bike didn't look so cheap I would consider it but I'd rather spend more and get a bike that I actually like the look of e.g. a Duke 890, F900R, MT09 of if you are on a tight budget then the CB650R is still a great option that performs well and actually looks good.
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.
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?
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 👊🏻
Great video! Can you recommend a sport-touring bike for riders under 1.70m? ((1,67cm)) I currently ride a CBF 600 S (2009), which is low, comfortable, and perfect for touring.
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.

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. 👍
Hello I wanna ask you . I have cb500x and I am thinking to swap for hornet 750. You think it’s a good choice? My use its daily commute, daily trips with backroads and highway around 600 km and Once a year road trip balkan. And Europe . You think It’s suits me ?
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).
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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
The front end is awful. The headlight needed to be completely re designed . The engine sounds a bit weak. But clearly has plenty of juice. I don’t know. Looks like a bike that would be fun but a good second bike. Not an everyday.
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,
Sounds like a sewing machine at city speeds. Of course nothing compares to my Harley V-twin but even my Triumph America sounds better. Opening it up on the highway helps.
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

So many negative comments about the look but I love it.

Man I love how you can joyfully celebrate the way the bike lifts at the front during acceleration. I usually shout like an animal under my helmet too!
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.
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!

The one thing that this bike is missing is the character.
What does that mean?

Bike only has a 160 rear tire. Should have a 180 on rear. That 95 hp is going to destroy those tires.
