Honda CB 750 Hornet – 755 cc, 67.5 kW

CB 750 Hornet – 755 cc, 67.5 kW. The most requested model of the family: strong enough for open roads, compact enough for town. E-Clutch is offered here too.

Which models and colours are in stock right now is shown in the list further down – it changes constantly.

Honda CB1000GT – the tourer built on the Hornet

Same four-cylinder, different job

The CB1000GT is not a naked bike but a sporty tourer based on the CB 1000 Hornet. Anyone looking at the CB1000GT compares it with the CB 1000 Hornet almost every time – which is why it sits here rather than on a page of its own.

The engine is essentially the same: the liquid-cooled 1,000 cc inline four that originally came from the 2017 Fireblade. In the CB1000GT it makes 110 kW (150 hp) at 11,000 rpm and 102 Nm at 8,750 rpm, tuned for a little more push in the midrange.

Difference between CB 1000 Hornet and CB1000GT

The figures marked – are listed on the data sheet of each machine in the list on this page. We stock the CB1000GT as a new bike; what is available right now is shown in the vehicle list further down. We are happy to reserve one for a test ride.

We stock the genuine Honda accessory range for the CB 500, CB 750 and CB 1000 Hornet and fit it too. The most requested parts one by one.

Every Hornet accessory with a photo, part number and price is shown in the Honda Hornet accessory brochure as a PDF (11 pages). We order the parts and fit them in our motorcycle workshop; labour is not included in the price of the parts.

Honda Hornet screen and touring windshield

Wind protection for the motorway

A naked bike without a screen gets tiring over distance. A screen takes pressure off chest and helmet without spoiling the line of the Hornet.

The right height depends on your build – too tall buffets the air. We try it on the machine before you buy.

All prices non-binding and subject to change at any time · fitting not included.

Honda Hornet pannier mounts and luggage rack

Turning a naked bike into an everyday machine

With pannier mounts and a luggage rack the Hornet becomes a commuter. A tank bag and tail pack from the genuine range go with them.

We fit the racks properly and check the permitted payload.

All prices non-binding and subject to change at any time · fitting not included.

Honda Hornet crash pads and engine protection

Protection when it goes over

On an unfaired machine a tip-over while stationary quickly hits the tank and engine cover. Crash pads limit the damage to a scratch.

They are quickly fitted and cost a fraction of what tank damage runs to.

All prices non-binding and subject to change at any time · fitting not included.

Honda Hornet quickshifter and heated grips

Comfort and riding pleasure

The quickshifter allows gear changes without the clutch. On the E-Clutch versions that makes a particularly relaxed combination.

Heated grips extend the season by weeks. We wire them permanently into the electrics.

All prices non-binding and subject to change at any time · fitting not included.

Honda Hornet exhaust

Sound with type approval

A different exhaust system changes sound and weight. We only fit systems with valid Swiss type approval.

Anything else costs the registration at the next check. We handle the paperwork.

Workshop and servicing

Honda Dream Dealer in Volketswil

As a Honda Dream Dealer we service every Hornet model with genuine parts and Honda diagnostics – chain, brakes, tyres, roadworthiness preparation and winter storage. We look after the E-Clutch models in full.

Custom work does not affect registration or warranty as long as the parts are approved. That is exactly what we watch when selecting them – and we document the work.

Honda CB 600 F Hornet – servicing, parts and upkeep

The classic 600 Hornet in the workshop

The CB 600 F Hornet has carried the Hornet name for many years, and a great number are still on the road – often with high mileage and in good order. These are exactly the bikes we like to see in the workshop.

We take care of the servicing, source spare and wear parts and prepare the machine for its roadworthiness test. Tell us the year, the mileage and what is due, and we order the parts in advance.

And if the upkeep ever turns into the wish for a change – the current CB 750 Hornet is the direct successor in spirit to the CB 600 F: same idea, more power, modern electronics.

Honda CB 900 F Hornet – servicing, parts and upkeep

The big classic Hornet

The CB 900 F Hornet is solidly built, easy to work on and worth the effort. We look after what comes up over the years: brakes and lines, chain and sprockets, fork and shock, carburettor or injection, electrics and battery.

If you ride a CB 900 F and are looking for a workshop that takes it seriously instead of waving it away, get in touch. As a Honda Dream Dealer we also reach parts that have become difficult to find elsewhere.

Classic Honda Hornet: CB 600 F and CB 900 F

These are machines we are glad to have in the workshop

The Hornet did not start with the current range. The CB 600 F Hornet and the CB 900 F Hornet have carried the name for many years, and a great number are still on the road – often with high mileage and in good order.

These are exactly the bikes we like to see in the workshop. They are solidly built, straightforward to maintain and worth the effort. We handle the servicing, source replacement and wear parts, prepare the machine for its roadworthiness test and deal with what accumulates over the years: brakes and lines, chain and sprockets, forks and shock, carburettor or injection, electrics and battery.

If you ride a CB 600 F or CB 900 F and are looking for a workshop that takes it seriously rather than waving it away, get in touch. Give us the year, the mileage and what is due, and we can order the parts in advance.

And if that upkeep eventually turns into the wish for something newer – the current CB 750 Hornet is the direct successor in spirit to the CB 600 F: the same idea, more power, modern electronics.

Hornet or another Honda model?

The alternatives from our range that come up most

Hornet or CB 650 R? The CB 650 R runs an inline four and revs higher; the CB 750 Hornet is a twin with stronger drive from low down. Both are naked bikes of the same class – this is a question of character, not performance.

Hornet or an adventure bike? If you carry a lot of luggage and ride long stages, a faired machine serves you better. If your riding is mainly everyday journeys and back roads, take the Hornet.

Hornet or a Gold Wing? Two entirely different motorbikes: the Gold Wing as a full tourer for long journeys two-up, the Hornet as a light, unfaired everyday machine.

Hornet or a PCX scooter? For pure city journeys the scooter is more practical. As soon as open roads and corners come into it, the Hornet is the right vehicle.

The best way to decide is here in person: our models stand side by side in Volketswil and we go through the differences with you. What else is in stock is shown in the list on this page.
