Honda has kept the CB1000 Hornet SP simple for India: one variant, one colour, fully loaded. There's no base trim to tempt you into skipping the quickshifter or getting lesser brakes. You buy the CB1000 Hornet SP STD and you get everything - Brembo calipers, Öhlins monoshock, Showa SFF-BP forks, 5-inch TFT with RoadSync, bi-directional quickshifter, traction control, ABS, and Honda's Riding Mode system with Rain, Standard, Sport, and User modes.

**CB1000 Hornet SP STD**
- Ex-showroom (Delhi): Rs 13,29,329
- Colour: Matte Black Metallic
- Engine: 999cc inline-four, 157.17 PS, 107 Nm
- Key equipment: Brembo 4-piston front brakes, Öhlins rear shock, Showa SFF-BP forks, bi-directional quickshifter, 5-inch TFT

On-road prices vary significantly by state due to different RTO slabs:
- Delhi: ~Rs 15.00 lakh
- Chennai: ~Rs 15.40 lakh
- Kolkata: ~Rs 15.27 lakh
- Bangalore: ~Rs 16.20 lakh
- Mumbai: ~Rs 16.47 lakh
- Hyderabad: ~Rs 16.42 lakh
- Pune: ~Rs 16.60 lakh

The Rs 13.29 lakh ex-showroom price represents a significant hike from the Rs 12.36 lakh launch price in mid-2025, but it still undercuts the Triumph Street Triple RS (Rs 13.22 lakh) and sits close to the Kawasaki Z900 (Rs 12.79 lakh) - a bike with notably less power and less premium suspension.

## Variants
| Variant | Ex-showroom Price |
|---------|------------------|
| SP | ₹ 13,29,329 |

With only one variant on offer, the buying decision is straightforward. The question isn't which variant to pick but whether the on-road price in your city fits your budget. States like Pune and Mumbai attract higher road tax slabs that push on-road prices above Rs 16 lakh. If you're on the fence about registering in a border town to save on RTO, factor in the limited service network - you want your nearest BigWing Topline dealer to be convenient, not just your registration address. Honda does offer BigWing Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for peace of mind on service costs.
