If straight-line speed is your priority, the CB1000 Hornet takes the lead. With 39 HP more than the Monster +, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Monster + has a clear advantage. Weighing in 36kg less than the CB1000 Hornet, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the hornet-cb1000 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
