2024 Honda CB1000 Hornet Naked Is An All-New Addition

Powered by the 17 year model CBR1000RR Fireblade’s formidable engine, and designed as a potent cocktail of strong in-line 4 engine performance and ultra-sharp handling, the CB1000 Hornet delivers maximum riding fun from busy city block to twisting back road.

Designed in Japan, its transformative looks are driven by two words: AGGRESSIVE and PURE. Led by the piercing gaze of super-compact dual LED projector headlights, the Hornet-signature fuel tank – with wings folded forward – is broad shouldered up front but tapers radically to the rear, mirrored by the minimal seat unit that underlines the traditional narrow-waisted Hornet look. The new frame is also used as a design feature, but subtly blacked out – like the tubular trellis-style rear subframe.

The CB1000 Hornet’s huge performance potential, high-quality specification, compact dimensions and refreshing new style make it a hard bike to ignore, especially for those riders with a mid-capacity naked bike looking for their next step up the ladder.

Honda has unveiled a brand new motorcycle for 2024 - the CB1000 Hornet. This naked motorcycle, with a detuned version of the 2017 Fireblade motor, will replace the CB1000R which was once available for sale in the Indian market as well.

Honda’s been offering the CB1000R based on old-generation CBR1000RR tech for many years, but for 2024 there’s a new approach and style in the form of the CB1000 Hornet.

Adopting the “Hornet” title to conform with the CB750 Hornet and the newly launched CB500 Hornet, the upcoming CB1000 Hornet also takes on their approach, dropping the old CB1000R’s exotic, semi-retro style and single-sided swingarm in favor of a more straightforward roadster look and tech.
