The Honda CB1000 Hornet 2025 is a beast unleashed, a motorcycle designed for riders craving speed, precision, and an aggressive streetfighter look. With its powerful engine derived from the CBR1000RR Fireblade, a sophisticated throttle-by-wire system, and fully adjustable suspension, the 2025 Hornet marks the return of one of Honda's most iconic naked bikes.
The Hornet name carries a legacy of speed, fun, and affordability, stretching back to the late 1990s. First with the CB600F Hornet and later the CB900F Hornet, these bikes earned their place as fan favorites. With the 2023 CB750 Hornet already dominating the European market, Honda has taken the excitement to a new level with the CB1000 Hornet.
Packing the Fireblade’s four-cylinder engine and cutting-edge tech, the 2025 CB1000 Hornet delivers a thrilling ride both on city streets and winding country roads. Available in stunning colors like Grand Prix Red, Mat Iridium Gray Metallic, and Pearl Glare White, it is a machine designed to impress in every sense.
The CB1000 Hornet’s heart is a 1000cc, DOHC, four-cylinder engine pulled directly from the CBR1000RR Fireblade. It delivers an impressive 111.6kW of power at 11,000rpm and 104Nm of torque at 9,000rpm, ensuring top-end thrills and smooth low-to-mid range performance for city commutes. With a six-speed gearbox featuring assist and slipper clutch, the Hornet offers seamless acceleration and smooth downshifts.
A rider can choose between three pre-set riding modes—Rain, Standard, and Sport—or customize their own with two additional user-defined options. The five-inch TFT display offers intuitive control and connects seamlessly with Honda RoadSync for smartphone integration.
Aggressive styling, twin LED headlights, and a new twin-spar steel frame define the Hornet’s pure streetfighter aesthetic, while its compact and lightweight design makes it an agile, exciting bike to ride.
At the heart of the CB1000 Hornet is the Fireblade’s 1000cc engine, tuned for road riding. It produces 111.6kW and 104Nm of torque, providing ample power for a variety of riding conditions. Revised gear ratios enhance acceleration, and the assist/slipper clutch ensures smooth gear shifts and control during hard braking.
The engine’s fuel efficiency is rated at 16.9km/L, and the bike’s fuel tank holds 17L, giving the Hornet excellent range for both daily commutes and longer rides.
The CB1000 Hornet's Throttle By Wire (TBW) system offers full control over engine power and braking. Three pre-set modes (Rain, Standard, Sport) and two user-customizable modes adjust power, engine braking, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) to the rider’s preferences. Wheelie Control is integrated into the HSTC system, adding an extra layer of safety.
The Hornet’s new steel twin-spar frame is designed for high torsional rigidity, improving handling and agility. The 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa Pro-Link rear shock provide fully adjustable suspension, ensuring a comfortable yet responsive ride.
The radial-mount four-piston front brake calipers and 310mm floating discs offer powerful braking, while the bike's 120/70-ZR17 front and 180/55-ZR17 rear tyres provide excellent grip on the road.
The Honda CB1000 Hornet’s aggressive styling is accentuated by its twin LED headlights and stripped-back design. The muscular fuel tank and sharp rear end create a striking streetfighter look, while the blacked-out frame, engine, wheels, and swingarm add to its menacing appeal.
The five-inch full-color TFT display allows easy navigation through riding modes and connects to Honda RoadSync, enabling smartphone connectivity for calls, music, and turn-by-turn navigation via a Bluetooth headset.
For added safety, the indicators feature Honda’s Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system, which flashes the hazard lights during hard braking.
