Honda CB1000 Hornet SP: Latest News and Updates India
June 2025 - India Launch Honda launched the CB1000 Hornet SP in India alongside the CB750 Hornet, priced at Rs 12,35,900 (ex-showroom). Both bikes are sold exclusively through Honda BigWing Topline outlets. The CB1000 Hornet SP marked Honda's entry into the litre-class naked motorcycle segment in India, directly taking on the Kawasaki Z900 and Triumph Street Triple lineup.
Late 2025 - Voluntary Recall (Seat and Gear Pedal) Honda issued a voluntary recall for the CB1000 Hornet SP after identifying a potential issue where heat from the exhaust could soften the seat's painted surface, and separately, that the gear change pedal pivot bolt could loosen over time and fall off. BigWing Topline outlets rectified affected units free of charge. Honda's proactive recall management was well-received by owners.
Early 2026 - Second Voluntary Recall (Engine Oil Consumption) A second recall was announced for units manufactured between September 30, 2024 and August 22, 2025. The issue involved potential over-consumption of engine oil that could affect normal engine operation. Again, Honda offered free inspection and rectification at BigWing Topline dealerships.
2026 - Price Revision The ex-showroom price moved from the Rs 12,35,900 launch price to Rs 13,29,329 during the model year, a revision of approximately Rs 93,000. The bike otherwise remains unchanged mechanically.
