The Honda CB750 Hornet returns for the 2026 model year with significant upgrades, most notably the integration of Honda's revolutionary E-Clutch technology. This industry-first system allows riders to shift gears, start, and stop without using the clutch lever, while still maintaining the option for full manual control at any time. At its heart lies the 755cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft, delivering a characterful V-twin-like pulse and sound. Producing 91.8 hp and 75 Nm of torque, this powerplant ensures the Hornet remains a leader in the middleweight class regarding power-to-weight ratio.
For 2026, the engine has been refined for Euro 5+ compliance without sacrificing performance. Visually, the bike receives a sharper LED projector headlight and a new under-cowl that enhances its aggressive streetfighter silhouette. The chassis features high-quality 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks and a Pro-Link rear monoshock, providing agile and confidence-inspiring handling. The cockpit is equipped with an updated 5-inch full-color TFT display featuring Honda RoadSync for seamless smartphone connectivity. Riders can choose between Sport, Standard, Rain, and customizable User modes to adjust power delivery, engine braking, and traction control. Weighing in at just 190 kg (196 kg for the E-Clutch version), the 2026 Hornet continues to offer a perfect balance of daily usability and exhilarating performance.
