Honda unleashes its most potent Hornet yet, a motorcycle packing huge performance potential. The CB1000 Hornet loads with a four-cylinder CBR1000RR Fireblade engine, Throttle By Wire control, three riding modes with pre-set combinations of settings for Power, Engine Braking, HSTC and Wheelie Control, plus two customisable options. With gear ratios designed for optimal acceleration, the six-speed gearbox also features an assist/slipper clutch. 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks are matched by a Showa rear shock and Pro-Link; four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work with 310mm floating discs. Twin LED projector headlights define the pure naked aggression of a streetfighter’s style. And for straightforward on-screen navigation – and more – the five-inch colour TFT instrument display connects the rider to their smartphone via Honda RoadSync.
