Excellent review, detailed and honest, even fun to see. Agree with 99% of your statements, in my opinion this bike is beautiful to see as well. Yeah maybe lacks of "wow effect "but its design will look nice for many years IMHO. ✌️
I've just finished all episodes with hornet and really enjoyed it! The twisties looked so fun, I can only imagine how fun they are in real life. And the review is great, very professional. Awesome work!
Thanks for the review, especially the dashboard part. This was a though decision when I was struggling to choose between hornet and the CBR. I'm a super geek for this kind of technology. Now, when I saw that navigation is really bad, I don't regret a single thing! Thank you!
I would go for CB650R, but mostly because it is the most gorgeous naked bike in my opinion. My wet dream, not joking. But otherwise it mostly depends on whether you prefer a twin or 4-cylinder engine. Hornet behaves overall sportier, is waay lighter and more aggressive, while the CB650R engine is smooth, not so jumpy and turns the bike into a spaceship only past 8k revs or so. I had the CBR and totally loved that engine.
The CB750 - I rode both, and I found the 750 to be easyer to ride and more rafined. The 650 is sportier if that's what you're into, but the 750 has more low end torque (a lot more) and has a slightly better riding position for a rider of my height and weight. The 650 pulls harder over 5k rpm, and sounds better (subjective). The 750 pulls quite well at 3k, but falls off a bit at 7.5k, while the 650 keeps going all the way to redline. The gearbox on the 750 feels a bit more rafined - the 650 is a bit jerky especially when shifting at mid to high RPM. Maybe it was the test bike... Anyway, for a city bike / streetfighter, I'd go with the 750 - but - they could have named the 750 "Nighthawk" and the 650 "Hornet". That would have avoided all this controversy.
Excellent detailed review Julien, very thorough and well produced! Top job, well done.👏
Thank you so much Paul, glad you enjoyed it!! :)
Great review. I took one out for a test ride and ordered one in black when i returned to the dealer. Absolutely love it 🏍
Now that's what I call a proper impulse purchase!! Congrats on the good decision sir!

This is, hands down, the best review I've seen on the Hornet and I've watched a lot.
Good work Julien, subscribed.
Thank you very much my good sir, I appreciate your kind reaction and hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the content as well! :)

Thank you!
With a CBR you really have nothing to regret my friend!😍🔥
enjoyed the review. thanks for posting.
Thanks for your support, happy to hear that it’s useful! :)
Hornet 750 vs Cb650R? Which one would you choose?
I would go for CB650R, but mostly because it is the most gorgeous naked bike in my opinion. My wet dream, not joking. But otherwise it mostly depends on whether you prefer a twin or 4-cylinder engine. Hornet behaves overall sportier, is waay lighter and more aggressive, while the CB650R engine is smooth, not so jumpy and turns the bike into a spaceship only past 8k revs or so. I had the CBR and totally loved that engine.
Also, did you like the review?

Brilliant comprehensive, fun, and honest, interesting review by the narrator, ably assisted by his seductively attractive assistant 👍
Just bought a 2024 CB500F (Hornet) in Thailand. Could have bought the 750 because of the same weight.
Very good review, well done.
thank you very much Mister, happy to hear that you enjoyed it! hope you hit that like button too :)
a very good video. very well explained. thanks for your effort. 👍
happy you found it useful my friend! :)
Are you sure about the navigation not showing instructions? I've seen other videos showing instructions like 'turn left in X meters'
Apparently it was updated in the meantime, not yet available at the time of my test.
Sadly its priced to be very expensive in Finland, around 2000 Eur more than MT07.
All the naming controversy could have been avoided by naming the CB650 "Hornet" and the CB750 "Nighthawk".
