Why do so many people obsess about the looks? I suspect those who actually ride a lot are much more interested in the performance, handling, reliability etc.

01:00 I just rebuild a 2005 Hornet 600 and upgraded everything from tyres, over brakes, to suspension. It is still an amazing ride, especially with my shorter transmission ratio. The screaming over 10k revs is just pure joy.
That being said, next year I will switch over to the new Hornet 750. The engine is just insane, as is the nimbleness. With upgraded suspension and better tyres, this will be alot of fun for quite a long time.

I don’t think it looks any worse than say, a Yamaha MT, a KTM or a new Gxs8. I think they could of made it look better but it isn’t bad

That was a thorough review going through all the Hornet’s functions, you also took the time setting up multiple camera shots. Nice! Your production value is on point too. Most appreciated. From all accounts the quick shifter is butter smooth. Unfortunately it looked like that particular bike was not equipped with it though. Would’ve liked to have your take on it. Anyway I do agree with you, it is most probably the best bike for the money out right now. Your channel is doing great Rye keep up the good work👏

I remember finding this channel a few years ago when I was interested in the street triple... You have certainly grown since then. I subscribed back then and kept watching. Cool to see you again all the subs and to see the direction the channel headed.

I gave it a go ; easy to ride through town, then when you hit open countryside, stick it in Sport Mode and be a hooligan. Looks are a bit sensible, but performance is not. A great bike, which bought a massive grin to my face. Your review is far more professional than mine, as I spent a lot of the ride laughing like a mad man 😂

[TreboriRobertHZ]

Nice close-up view (no wide angle lens, like so many of the other reviewers). Highly appreciated.

[vinaypaul]

I have ordered one.. when I tested it, I liked the smoothness of the ride and generally felt in control..

[paulfowler]

Its not only good for the money its good full stop. I have a white one on order and can't wait to get it in time for the summer. Nice review

Despite losing the hornet name, my first bike was a 2018 CB650F and I've found it to be an utter riot. I usually ride a GSXR1000 these days, but I still love taking my CB650F out and thrashing it. It's the weakest 4 cylinder bike you'll find, but that is the charm for me. I'm sure the new hornet is great, but I'm in no rush to do anything with my CB650F. I don't use the rider modes on my 2007 GSXR1000, so I certainly don't need electronic aids on a 750. It certainly holds a place in the market, it's a great option for some people. I love that Honda have done it, but it's not for me. Gimme that ZX4RR

Great review, you brought out some great points that I feel have been missed by other mainstream journalist launch reviews. At first I was underwhelmed by the styling, particularly disliking the colour accent around the headlight cowl. The black bikes look far better in this respect, then they make it worse by painting the forks and frame red. Not just any red, a really horrible glittery shade of red. For that reason I think the grey bikes are the best of the bunch, no red forks and frame, no colour accent on the head light cowl just dull instead of hideous. The headline bhp figure is a league above its natural competitor the MT07, as is the exceptionally low price. It is astoundingly great value for money without the dreadful inadequate boingy suspension or snatchy throttle mapping that blighted the Yamaha at launch, and for several years after. However, comparison to the KTM 890 Duke or even better the re-release of the KTM 790 Duke would be the closer rival. Somehow, the general biking public seem to miss the fact that KTM have had a killer light weight sports bike for several years which looks like a brother from a different mother. Dynamically the KTM is likely to wipe the floor with the Honda, that’s chassis, engine & brakes plus the option to add a whole raft of electronic aids (at extra cost) that are not even available on the Honda accessory listing. KTM as a brand just hasn’t quite broken into the collective biking consciousness yet in the way that Honda has, but in reality I suspect if it were possible to blind test the Hornet back to back with a 790 Duke, the Duke would be the unequivocal winner every time. Now there’s an idea for a test, perhaps you would like to run such a comparison as mainstream channels are never going to it for fear of upsetting Honda.

Gee, best review of the Hornet I have seen. Good information, specifically about the suspension and handling through corners which concerns me. The CB 650s are under damped in my view. However the best bit is that you really gave the bike a great run through some genuine English B roads, not just some pristine French mountains and it came through. You pushed it. I have been asking other reviewers about the suspension and holding B road corners but you answered all the questions. I am now hanging out for your review of the GSX 8S and honest comparison. I am a fan of the GSX S750. Way better bike than its spec sheet. So the GSX 8S should be serious competition for the Hornet. Both arrive in my country July ish. Thanks again.

Paid the equivilant of 6822GBP for mine!!! Bargain bike of the year! Super keen for its arrival!

Keep doing what you're doing. I hope your channel is growing as your content is genuinely really worth watching.
It seems the template for all the most successful motorbike YouTube channels features a balanced combination of :
Bike projects/garage stuff
New/used Bike reviews
Bike vlogs
Bike tour vids
You're hitting on many of those, and your passion and motivation for bikes really shines through.
It's worth saying that people tend to come back to channels that feature sincere people (many don't) and you always come across really well.
Build yourself an evolving diverse library of content, your channel will boom 👍🏼
I don't know your name but honestly I'm a huge fan of what you're doing. Carry on!!

[backpacker]

Yes it takes the cake in its class and more.
Honda is on to something here 😊😊😊
Welcome Hornet. What a return. What a return. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[ianleaver]

Got the exact same colour and for me personally I love the look of this bike.

[Smpex]

I had a cbr500r and absolutely loved it, was my first bike. I'll definitely be considering this if/when the 750r version is released.

[Bikersnod]

Great review; thoroughly entertaining! I completely agree on the looks front; Honda played it safe which is a shame.

Keep up the good work; looking forward to the next episode of the Blackbird build!

[nickrider]

I would have this over the old Hornet, don't mind the looks, I like fun bikes and give me decent torque any day. A 600 inline 4 modern hornet would be gutless with all the emissions regs. Good review 👍

[stevenhoward]

Cracking video and tbh I really like the bike and I don't think it looks to bad and absolute bargain at 7k, thinking with one or two mods and a nice slip on and you'd have a cracking bike for less than 8k, really enjoyed the video but still waiting to what's happening with the black bird 😮
