A naked bike is a motorcycle without a full or half fairing: upright riding position, visible engine, handy chassis. Honda has been building this class for decades – from the beginner-friendly naked motorcycle in the A restricted category through roadster and street bike to the streetfighter with 1,000 cc. Machines from 471 to 1,000 cc are ready near Zurich: the naked bike with 649 cc, the naked bikes and streetfighters with 471, 755 and 1,000 cc and the street scrambler with 471 cc – new and used, with accessories, custom work and service.
The current Honda naked bike range: every naked motorcycle with output, displacement and list price ex works.

A naked bike is a motorcycle without a full or half fairing – hence the name «naked». The naked motorcycle offers an upright riding position, a visible engine and a chassis built for agility. The term naked bike took hold in Europe in the mid-1990s and today the class is one of the most popular of all.
Honda has been one of the leading manufacturers in the naked bike segment for decades. The models stand for reliable engineering, sporty design and a riding feel that appeals to beginners and experienced naked bike riders alike. From the agile machine in the A restricted category to the powerful high-performance roadster, Honda has the right naked motorcycle for every riding style.
A naked bike does without the full fairing of a supersport machine and gives you a more upright, more comfortable seating position. The naked motorcycle is more nimble, more practical every day and still delivers a sporty ride – equally at home in town and on country roads.

| Model | Displacement | Output | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda CB500 Hornet | 471 cc | 35 kW | A / A restricted |
| Honda CL500 | 471 cc | around 47 hp | A / A restricted |
| Honda CB650R | 649 cc | around 95 hp | A (also available as A restricted) |
| Honda CB750 Hornet | 755 cc | 67.5 kW | A |
| Honda CB1000F | 1,000 cc | 91 kW | A |
| Honda CB1000 Hornet | 1,000 cc | 111.6 kW | A |
The CB500 Hornet, the CB750 Hornet and the CB650R are also available with E-Clutch, and the CB1000 Hornet in SP trim as well. Current prices are shown with every machine in the list on this page – they are non-binding, price changes possible at any time.
A naked bike does without the full fairing of a supersport machine and gives you a more upright, more comfortable seating position. The naked motorcycle is more nimble, more practical every day and still delivers a sporty ride – equally at home in town and on country roads. The faired models are shown on the page CBR supersport.
Neo Sports Café is Honda's design language for the naked bikes: round LED headlight, compact tail, visible frame and engine, combined with modern materials. The CB650R and the CB1000R carry that signature most clearly. The classic offshoot of it is shown under cafe racer.
That depends on the class. The 471 cc models are the lightest of the range, the 1,000 cc models the heaviest. The exact weight of each machine is given in the data sheet with the vehicle – tell us your height and we will put the right machine in front of you.
In our stock those are the 471 cc models: the CB500 Hornet and the CL500. Both are light and narrow and therefore easy to handle for smaller riders too. One class below them are the 125 cc models.
Several of them: the CB500 Hornet and the CL500 are in the A restricted category straight from the factory – known as A2 in the EU. The CB650R and the CB750 Hornet are available as restricted versions. Once you move up to category A unrestricted they can be converted to full power; all the models in this class are shown under 35 kW motorbike.
The same as any motorcycle: helmet, jacket and trousers with protectors, gloves, sturdy boots. Because the wind hits you unchecked on a naked bike, a windproof jacket is especially worthwhile. We stock the gear in house – see motorcycle clothing.
At Motorrad Zürich AG you will find a wide choice of Honda naked bikes – from the beginner-friendly naked motorcycle in the A restricted category to the powerful high-performance roadster. Our team is glad to advise you and help you find the right naked motorcycle for your needs.
Currently in stock are the CB650R, the CB750 Hornet, the CB1000 Hornet and SP, the CB500 Hornet, the CB1000F and the CL500. The predecessor models CB1000R and CB500F are described further down – today they are mainly a subject as used bikes.
The CB650R is a genuine highlight of the naked motorcycle middleweight class and combines sporty performance with Honda's distinctive Neo Sports Café design. The inline four-cylinder engine is particularly notable – a layout rarely found in this class any more, and one that gives this naked bike an unusually smooth, rev-happy character.
With around 95 hp from 649 cc the CB650R has more than enough power for spirited country-road riding. At the same time the naked motorcycle stays pleasantly controllable and practical with a seat height of about 810 mm. The high-grade Showa upside-down fork delivers precise handling and a sporty feel.
The CB650R appeals above all to naked bike riders looking for an emotional machine with a characterful engine. Its modern design, high build quality and strong performance make it one of the most attractive options in the middleweight segment. It is also available in a version for the A restricted category, which makes it particularly interesting for many riders.
Everything about this model – equipment, E-Clutch, custom work and accessories – is on the model page Honda CB650R.


With the CB750 Hornet Honda has created a naked bike that combines power, modern design and innovative technology to perfection. The 755 cc parallel twin delivers around 91 hp and gives an impressive power-to-weight ratio that comes into its own on twisty roads.
The Hornet was laid out consistently for agility and riding fun. Its low weight and compact geometry let you flick it through corners with ease. At the same time this naked motorcycle offers modern rider aids such as several riding modes, traction control and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
This naked motorcycle is aimed above all at riders looking for a modern naked bike with a sporty character. The CB750 Hornet offers an excellent combination of power, technology and everyday usability and is currently one of the most exciting machines in its class.
The whole range with all its versions is shown on the page Honda Hornet.
The CB1000 Hornet is the flagship of the Hornet range: 1,000 cc of displacement and 111.6 kW of power, ridden on the unrestricted category A licence. The SP version goes one better on suspension and brakes. Both versions are here with us in Volketswil ZH.
As a four-cylinder streetfighter it is the counterpart to the faired supersport machine: same power class, but an upright riding position and a clear view of engine and frame. All equipment details, colours and prices are on the page Hornet CB750, CB1000 and CB500.
The CB500 Hornet produces 35 kW from 471 cc – exactly the limit of the A restricted category, with no restrictor needed. It is the successor to the CB500F and carries the Hornet design of its bigger sisters.
It is also available with E-Clutch: pulling away and shifting then work without a clutch lever – a noticeable relief in town traffic. Details of the range are on the page Honda Hornet.
The CB1000F is a naked motorcycle with 1,000 cc and 91 kW. We carry it as a new machine, currently from CHF 11,849 – non-binding, price changes possible at any time. Which versions and colours are ready right now is shown by the vehicle list on this page; the stock changes constantly.
It is aimed at riders who want the power of the big class but do without the fairing of a supersport machine. Further details of the model are on the page CB1000F and Hornet.
The CL500 brings a breath of fresh air to the naked bike category and combines classic scrambler looks with modern Honda engineering. Its 471 cc parallel twin delivers around 47 hp and is tuned perfectly for a relaxed, versatile riding style.
The high-mounted exhaust, the upright riding position and the strong character of the design are typical of a scrambler. That makes the CL500 look particularly individual and sets it clearly apart from classic naked bikes. At the same time it stays easy to ride and is excellent for town traffic, weekend trips and the occasional detour onto unsurfaced tracks.
For naked motorcycle riders who value style, comfort and versatility in particular, the CL500 is an especially attractive choice. It combines lifestyle character with Honda's proven reliability. You will find the matching accessories further down under CL500 accessories, and related models under custom bike and scrambler.


Around 1,000 cc, an inline four and Neo Sports Café design: this naked bike was the flagship of the range for a long time. It is no longer built new – technical data, versions and prices are on the page CB1000R and Hornet. As a used naked motorcycle it remains a subject: ask us for a second-hand machine, we keep an eye out for you.
Around 48 hp from 471 cc, low weight and balanced ergonomics: for a long time this was the entry-level naked bike par excellence. The model built new today is its successor – all the details are on the page CB500F and Hornet. We are glad to look for a used one for you; further beginner models are shown under beginner motorcycle.

The ones in demand with us are the CB650R, the CB750 Hornet, the CB1000 Hornet, the CB500 Hornet and the CL500. Every one of them convinces as a naked motorcycle with reliable engineering, sporty design and excellent handling.
Yes, there are naked bikes made specifically for newcomers. As a naked motorcycle with 35 kW the CB500 Hornet is ideal for beginners and riders in the A restricted category – light and easy to handle. The CB650R is available as a restricted version too. More on this under beginner motorcycle.
The most powerful naked bike in the current range is the CB1000 Hornet with 111.6 kW, and in SP trim with even higher-grade suspension. Its predecessor, the CB1000R, combined superbike engineering with an exclusive roadster design and around 150 hp from its inline four.
For town use the CB500 Hornet, the CL500 or the CB750 Hornet are the naked bikes to pick. All of them are light, agile and practical – with low consumption and easy handling in traffic.
The naked bike CB650R has a 649 cc inline four with around 95 hp, a Showa upside-down fork and a seat height of about 810 mm. It is also available in a version for the A restricted category.
755 cc parallel twin, 67.5 kW or around 91 hp, low weight, riding modes, traction control and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
An inline four of just under 1,000 cc with around 150 hp, Neo Sports Café design, high-grade suspension and extensive electronics. We do not carry it as a new machine at the moment; its role in the range has been taken over by the CB1000 Hornet.
The CL500 is a street scrambler: 471 cc parallel twin with around 47 hp, high-mounted exhaust, upright riding position. That sets it clearly apart from the classic naked bikes and makes it right for town, weekend trips and the occasional detour onto unsurfaced tracks.
That changes with the model year. In our stock the CB750 Hornet and the CB650R are represented most strongly – how many are ready right now is shown by the vehicle list on this page.
We carry the naked bikes new and second hand. On top of that come demonstrator models: machines from our own operation, ridden, serviced and documented – often with the factory warranty still running and at a lower price than a new machine.
Which naked motorcycles are ready right now is shown by the vehicle list on this page. Every machine has its own detail view with pictures, mileage, equipment and price. All prices are non-binding, price changes possible at any time.

Honda's street motorcycle models give you pure riding pleasure – direct, powerful and with an unmistakable character for every road. Honda street bikes such as the Hornet and the CB range are known worldwide for quality, excellent handling and good value for money.
Street bike, street motorcycle, roadster, streetfighter and naked bike all mean the same machine in everyday use: an unfaired motorcycle for the road. The terms simply put the emphasis in different places – and that is exactly why you will find every model on this page.

| Term | What it means | Models with us |
|---|---|---|
| Naked bike | motorcycle without a full or half fairing, upright riding position | the whole CB range |
| Naked motorcycle | the same thing said the long way round | CB500 Hornet to CB1000 Hornet |
| Roadster | emphasises the road focus and comfort on country roads | CB650R, CB1000F |
| Streetfighter | emphasises the power and aggressive looks of the big class | CB1000 Hornet, CB1000R |
| Street bike | umbrella term for road-oriented machines | every model on this page |
| Street scrambler | naked bike with a high-mounted exhaust and off-road styling cues | CL500 |
Motorcycles of other classes are shown under adventure, touring and motor scooter.
Both are unfaired. «Streetfighter» is the colloquial name for the powerful, aggressively styled version – with us that is the CB1000 Hornet. Technically the streetfighter is a naked bike of the big class.
A roadster is a naked motorcycle that is at home on the road: upright, handy, without a fairing – laid out for country roads and everyday riding rather than for the racetrack.
The upright riding position is more comfortable and gives a better view, the machine feels handier, and repairs cost less because there are no expensive fairing panels to break. What you give up is wind protection – a screen from the accessory range helps.
The E-Clutch takes over the clutch work: pulling away, shifting and stopping all work without the clutch lever, but the lever is still there and can be used by hand at any time. In town traffic and in tight hairpins that takes a noticeable load off your left hand.
In our stock are the CB500 Hornet E-Clutch, the CB750 Hornet E-Clutch and the CB650R E-Clutch. Which versions are available right now is shown by the vehicle list on this page.
On top of that the current models carry the usual electronics: several riding modes, traction control and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity. If you would rather not shift at all, the automatic models are shown under automatic motorcycle.
The CB500 Hornet, the CB750 Hornet and the CB650R come in an E-Clutch version. All three are in our stock.
The most comprehensively equipped is the CB1000 Hornet SP. But the CB750 Hornet also offers riding modes, traction control and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
Yes. The clutch lever is still there and works as usual – you decide when you need it. The best thing is to try it out on a test ride.
Town and commuting: this is where the light models play to their strengths – the CB500 Hornet, the CL500 and the CB750 Hornet are agile, easy to place and economical. With E-Clutch, stop-and-go traffic gets more relaxed again.
Country roads: the core territory of the naked bike. The CB650R with its inline four and the CB750 Hornet are built for it; if you want more power you take the CB1000 Hornet or the CB1000F.
Touring: with a screen, luggage and heated grips from the accessory range a naked bike turns into a usable touring machine. If you regularly ride long distances, also take a look at the tourers and the adventure motorcycles.
Getting started: for the first seasons the CB500 Hornet and the CL500 are the obvious choice – both in the A restricted category. If you want to start smaller still, the right models are under 125 cc motorcycle.
With a screen, a luggage solution and heated grips from the accessory range, certainly. Without wind protection the motorway gets tiring over time – for regular long distances a tourer or an adventure model is the better choice.
What matters is not gender but seat height and weight. Light and narrow are the CB500 Hornet and the CL500; for the CL500 there are also different seats. Further models and riders' reports under motorbikes for women.
Measured by power and equipment that is the CB750 Hornet: 755 cc, 67.5 kW, modern electronics – and in our stock it starts well below the 1,000 cc class. Current prices are in the vehicle list, non-binding and with price changes possible at any time.
| Model | Engine | Typical use | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| CB500 Hornet | 471 cc parallel twin, 35 kW | getting started, town, commuting | A restricted with no restrictor |
| CL500 | 471 cc parallel twin, around 47 hp | town, lifestyle, light gravel roads | A restricted |
| CB650R | 649 cc inline four, around 95 hp | country roads, sporty riding | A, also available as A restricted |
| CB750 Hornet | 755 cc parallel twin, 67.5 kW | all-rounder for everyday use and corners | A |
| CB1000F | 1,000 cc, 91 kW | roadster with power in reserve | A |
| CB1000 Hornet | 1,000 cc, 111.6 kW | streetfighter, maximum power | A |
In short: if you are starting out, take the CB500 Hornet or the CL500. If you want the four-cylinder sound, take the CB650R. If you are looking for an all-rounder, take the CB750 Hornet. If you want power, take the CB1000F or the CB1000 Hornet.
The direct comparison with the faired models is under CBR supersport, the one with the classically styled machines under cafe racer and custom bike.
Same displacement class, different character: the CB500 Hornet is the sporty naked bike, the CL500 the street scrambler with a high-mounted exhaust and a more relaxed set-up. Both can be ridden in the A restricted category.
The CB650R has the inline four – rev-happy and with that characteristic sound. The CB750 Hornet relies on the parallel twin with more pull at less weight. The best thing is to ride both.
Yes – we put the machines side by side for you. Let us know in advance and they will be ready at your appointment.
The CBR models are the faired sisters: more wind protection and a sportier riding position, but less overview in town traffic. All the models under CBR supersport.
