Honda naked bikes in Zurich – roadster, streetfighter, street bike and accessories

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.

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 145 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 145 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.

Yes. Alongside the new machines we carry used naked bikes and demonstrator models. The stock changes constantly – the list on this page is always current because it comes straight from our own inventory.

A machine from our own inventory that has been ridden for demonstration purposes. It is as good as new, has few kilometres and costs less than a new machine – on many of them the factory warranty is still running.

Yes, we take your current motorcycle in part exchange – other makes too. We appraise it and set the amount against the purchase price. Details under trade-in and purchase of all makes.

That depends on the age and mileage of the individual machine. On demonstrator models the factory warranty is often still running – we tell you for every machine what applies to it.

Yes. We go through the options with you at an appointment – see motorcycle financing and leasing. Work out your monthly instalment without obligation in the leasing calculator; check the leasing requirements first, then send your leasing request online.

The prices are shown with every machine in the list on this page – they come straight from our inventory and are therefore always current. They are non-binding, price changes possible at any time.

Screen, quickshifter, heated grips, luggage solutions, radiator guard, crash pads, aluminium parts and exhaust systems – depending on the model. The part numbers and prices are in the tables further up, everything else is in the brochures as a PDF.

Yes. We fit genuine accessories and advise on custom work. We tell you beforehand what has to be registered – and we handle the paperwork.

Not with genuine Honda accessories fitted properly. With third-party parts it depends on the part – we tell you beforehand what applies.

Yes – through seats or suspension work. For the CL500, for example, there is a taller seat from the factory. Come by and we will measure it with you sitting on the machine.

Yes. We service every Honda – no matter where it was bought.

Yes. Screen, panniers, heated grips and other accessories are fitted in advance so that the machine is finished when you collect it.

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.

Street bike or street motorcycle is the umbrella term for road-oriented machines – as opposed to off-road models such as motocross or enduro. Honda's street models are the CB range and the CL500.

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 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.

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.

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.

With a course on a closed circuit. On loose ground you learn balance, brake control and where to look faster than in traffic – and mistakes stay without consequences. The courses run through the MX-Academy.

From the taster course to the riding safety course. Off-road training helps naked motorcycle riders improve their technique, balance and brake control considerably. A good start is the motorcycle riding safety course.

No. The courses have motorcycles in every size ready – for beginners as well as competition machines. The protective gear is available on site too.

With the learner's permit. We describe the procedure in Zurich under motorcycle licence Switzerland.

Yes. We charge a contribution towards costs for it, which is set against the purchase price if you buy. Make an appointment and the machine you want will be ready.
