If straight-line speed is your priority, the F 900 R takes the lead. With 15 HP more than the CB750 Hornet, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the CB750 Hornet has a clear advantage. Weighing in 18kg less than the F 900 R, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the CB750 Hornet. Its seat height is 40mm lower than the F 900 R, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the f900r if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the hornet-cb750 if you want the alternative brand character.
