It’s October 4, 2022—and if you’ve been holding your breath waiting for the 2023 Honda CB750 Hornet to finally break cover, the wait is over. To kick off Intermot 2022 in Cologne, Germany, Honda Motor Europe finally let the hive out of the jar. It is a concept no more, and will roll into showrooms in the coming months.
After having previously piqued our interest with arresting design sketches from Honda’s Rome-based R & D department—not to mention specs of an excitingly sporty new 755cc parallel twin engine design—the full package is here at last. Is it everything we hoped for? The 2023 Honda CB750 Hornet is an all-new design, aimed at enticing the next riding generation who are ready for a naked, middleweight streetfighter with an attitude.
