Honda CB750 Hornet — Overview
At Rs 9.20 lakh ex-showroom, the Honda CB750 Hornet is India's most accessible 750cc naked street fighter - and it punches well above that price tag. Launched in May 2025 through Honda BigWing Topline dealerships, it brings a 755cc parallel-twin engine making 90.5 bhp and 75 Nm, a 5-inch colour TFT with Honda RoadSync, four riding modes, HSTC traction control, and Showa SFF-BP inverted forks - a feature list that rivals costing ₹2-3 lakh more struggle to match.
The design originated from Honda's R&D studio in Rome, and it shows. Sharp, aggressive lines give it a presence on the road that the price does not suggest. But the story is really told once you're moving. Owners who rode it from Kochi to Bangalore report not a single performance complaint over 900 km. Highway mileage of 28-31 kmpl is remarkable for a 755cc twin. In Mumbai traffic, the 191 kg kerb weight disappears quickly - the handling is light, precise, and genuinely confidence-inspiring.
The mid-range torque delivery is the highlight. You don't need to rev it hard to enjoy it, which makes it as comfortable filtering through Bengaluru traffic as it is on NH44 at triple-digit speeds. The four riding modes and slipper clutch polish the experience further.
The caveats are real: on-road costs in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore cross ₹11 lakh, and Honda's BigWing network - though expanding - remains thin in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. But for metro buyers near a dealership, this is arguably the sharpest value in the Indian middleweight naked segment right now.

What We Like
- Smooth, punchy 755cc parallel-twin with strong mid-range - refined and tractable in city riding, genuinely exciting when you open it up on the highway
- Real-world highway mileage of 28-31 kmpl is impressive for a 750cc twin, giving it a practical range of 400+ km on a full tank
- Feature set punches above its price: Honda RoadSync TFT, 4 riding modes, HSTC traction control, wheelie control and assist & slipper clutch all standard
- Surprisingly nimble for 191 kg - sharp, confidence-inspiring handling suits both city commuting and mountain switchbacks
What Could Be Better
- BigWing dealership network is still thin outside metros - tier-2 and tier-3 city buyers face real challenges with service access and parts availability
- On-road price crosses ₹11 lakh in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore, which is a significant premium over some capable rivals
- Pillion accommodation is an afterthought - the grab handle is awkward and ground clearance drops noticeably with a passenger on speed bumps
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Honda CB750 Hornet?
The Honda CB750 Hornet is the best-value 750cc naked available in India today. It's a polished, feature-rich machine with a genuinely exciting engine, real touring capability and a price that undercuts most of its competition. The limited BigWing network is a legitimate concern for anyone outside a metro, but if you have a dealership nearby, this is a hard bike to argue against.
