If straight-line speed is your priority, the Monster V2 takes the lead. With 20 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 Monster V2 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 15kg less than the CB750 Hornet, 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 20mm lower than the Monster V2, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the monster offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
