CB1000 Hornet – 25YM

The 23YM CB750 Hornet bought the evocative Hornet name back to Europe. And its combination of taut streetfighter silhouette, exhilarating power and razor-sharp agility has justifiably earnt much admiration and impressive sales, making it the best-selling naked bike in Europe in 2023.  Now, for 25YM, come the headline acts of the modern Hornet family: the new CB1000 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP*.

Model Overview

Stripped back style drips with pure aggression, led by the concentrated stare of twin LED headlights. The new twin-spar frame is also used as a design feature, and the subtly blacked out 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa rear shock deliver adjustable, high-quality suspension control. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs while CBR1000RR-R-inspired cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres.
