Nice to see a manufacturer go on the more affordable side of things

[williamfischer]

Oh my gosh Honda is going to sell tons of these bikes. Take a bow Honda you’ve made an amazing bike at a phenomenal price.

[Banditmanuk]

Now that's a great price. Hope all the other manufactures take note and start offering something we can actually afford. Well done Honda

[rockafella]

Price is absolutely craaaazzzy. Genuinely can't believe they've priced it so low. It's gonna fly out the showrooms.

[nickb]

When I bought the “regular” Tuono V4 1100 for like $16, 500 in 2022, I thought it was one of the best deals for a higher end motorcycle. Especially in smiles per dollar. This however, is an outrageous deal. Well done Honda, I hope to see a lot of these out in the wild.

[JohnAdamsofBraintree]

I prefer the Neo design. I think the designer of that bike hit it just right.

[jpsamuels]

100% looks like Honda nailed it. Almost bought a Hornet750 23 earlier this year, but I found a 2nd hand Speed twin with low mileage for the same price and went with the Twin. With this 1000cc it's a no brainer. Really love the look of the bike and THE PRICE.❤❤❤

[cyphertheory]

well done Honda, I am genuinely impressed by the SP, and a great price

[IanSixbikes-byei]

Hats off to Honda, what an awesome bike and excellent value for money, the design reminds me of my old 2004 Z1000, which I loved. I will definitely be heading down to my nearest Honda dealer in the new year to book a test ride.

[verlinswarey]

I LOVED that old neo retro CB 1000! Never had one but I always wanted one. It was the only naked bike that I ever had any interest in buying. This new design looks like all the others now! But I’m glad that a lot of people here in the comments seem to like it!
And I’m always amazed by how many people quibble over a couple thousand dollars. A bike is a complete “heart” purchase for me. I wouldn’t consider NOT buying the bike I wanted just because there was another motorcycle that was a little cheaper! We’re not talking about buying ketchup here!

[shivamarya]

This is amazing for people who were looking at middle weight but always wanted a liter bike

[colindeans]

I'll throw in a bit of reality here. The price of new bikes has increased over recent years to the extent now where £20k isn't unusual. PCP has made the unaffordable, affordable allowing manufacturers to keep putting up prices. Of late, some large, notable motorcycle dealerships have gone down the drain, presumably, in part due to a lack of sales. Greed has come home to roost and it seems that Honda have realised and are now producing a good bike at a fair price. Hopefully, their standards are maintained. On a cheery note, the black and gold SP looks great.

[DarkOperationman]

For me, I still prefer the Neo Sport Cafe over the Hornet. Even though it got a lot more power, I still can't use all the ponies performance anywhere. And like I said many times. The Neo Sport Cafe are the first round headlight bike that makes me fall in love with it.

[adamk]

This looks like an absolute game changer, like he said. That Hp/Torque, and the styling. Wow

[lightxgrenade]

Seems like they're directly aiming at people considering an MT-09 or MT-10. I hope they bring these over to the US sometime soon and at the a similarly competitive price. The MT lineup is popular over here so these would definitely grab people's attention.

[Foodgeek]

I wanna try that, but it's gonna be hard to beat the MT09 SP, I think 😁

[inked-]

Well done Honda. In a time where value for money is non-existent, they have stepped up and delivered.

[goldenshark]

I have a Ducati streetfighter v2 which I love, that’s why this new Hornet is good looking to me but wow Honda incredible job on this machine and what a great price point!

[Milan-ywrm]

Thanks mate, you are always first on YT with the news. Great content 💪

[davidtait]

At 57 I thought my in line 4 days were over, … looks like I’d better think again. Not usually a Honda fan, but that looks the biz 👍
