CB1000 Hornet

CB1000 HORNET

Our Hornet family is complete, and the boss of the hive is here packing a sting in its tail.

CB1000 HORNET

The new CB1000 Hornet packs a tarmac-shredding four-cylinder engine with class-leading punch. Throttle By Wire ensures precise control, supported by adjustable Showa 41mm SFF-BP forks and a Pro-Link rear shock. Sharp twin LED projectors give it aggressive streetfighter style, while a 5-inch full-colour TFT with Honda RoadSync adds modern connectivity.

Packing a Punch.
Its 999cc DOHC engine delivers 112kW at 11,000rpm and 104Nm at 9,000rpm, tuned for smooth yet explosive low- to mid-range power. A revised compression ratio, new die-cast pistons and short gearbox ratios create instant acceleration and corner-destroying performance.

All-round Agility.
The steel twin-spar frame uses mass-forward geometry and 70% more torsional rigidity for sharp, agile handling. Showa suspension front and rear keeps control tight, with Nissin radial four-piston calipers on 310mm discs providing serious stopping force. Wide handlebars and an engaged riding position complete the streetfighter feel.

Never Miss a Beat.
TBW puts full performance at your command, with a 5-inch TFT offering easy access to riding modes: Rain, Standard, Sport, plus two User modes with adjustable Power, Engine Brake and HSTC with Wheelie Control. Honda RoadSync provides turn-by-turn navigation and smartphone integration.
