- New colour options refresh the look of Honda’s popular parallel-twin naked
- Still available either with standard manual gearbox, or the option of Honda E-Clutch transmission, which offers shifts that are faster and smoother than a quickshifter
Fresh off the back of being centre stage at the 2026 Hondacustoms.com competition, Honda’s popular naked the CB750 Hornet receives an all-new colour line-up for 27YM.
Since its introduction in 2023, the CB750 Hornet has struck the sweet spot with European customers who have ensured it remains one of the most popular bikes in Honda’s comprehensive line-up. With over 10,000 units sold in 2025 alone, it remains one of Honda’s best-selling full-sized motorcycles, and one of the top three best-selling Nakeds in Europe for the past two years.
That winning formula remains mechanically unchanged for 27YM, with the Hornet built around the same torquey, hard-hitting 755cc parallel twin-cylinder powerplant paired with either a manual gearbox or Honda’s acclaimed E-clutch technology, which was made available as an option for 2026 year model.
One of Honda’s innovative DreamTech technologies, Honda E-Clutch allows riders to change gear simply by using the shift pedal, without the need to use the clutch lever, making starting, stopping and changing gear easier and less tiring, while retaining the feeling of mechanical involvement in the ride.
More importantly, the system is fast and fun, providing next level riding enjoyment, as it enables quicker and smoother gear changes than a quickshifter. The fact that the CB750 Hornet – like the XL750 Transalp – uses Honda E-Clutch in conjunction with Throttle By Wire (TBW) allows even smoother bike behaviour on downshifts thanks to blipping of the throttle to match rev’s for the slickest of gear changes.
The CB750 Hornet’s minimalism is led by the low-set, centrally mounted dual LED projector headlight, behind which sits a five-inch full colour TFT monitor. The sharp front fairing and stylised tank work in unison with the crisply defined tail to give the CB750 Hornet a style that is distinct from its larger and smaller siblings, and very much an identity all of its own.
The 2027 Honda CB750 Hornet and CB750 Hornet E-Clutch will be available in;
- *NEW* Gunmetal Black Metallic & Ballistic Black Metallic
- *NEW* Mat Beta Silver Metallic & Iridium Gray Metallic
- *NEW* Glint Wave Blue & Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
