2027 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP Matte Black Metallic

Ready to rumble

Inline four engine

The powerful 1000cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda Superbikes, based on our CBR1000RR, but specially tuned for more midrange horsepower and torque for the street rider. 

Open riding position

Opening up the rider triangle lets you sit up a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point than hardcore sportbikes. Plus, most riders will find it a bit more comfortable, too. 

Quick shifter

The six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter means you can upshift without the clutch under full power. 

Five-inch TFT instrument display

Check out the instruments on this awesome machine. You get a big, bright, five-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display that gives you a choice of six display settings along with Honda RoadSync. 

Features may include:

• Inline four engine
  The powerful 1000cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda Superbikes, and based on our CBR1000RR, but specially tuned for more midrange horsepower and torque for the street rider.

• Four-into-one exhaust
  The exhaust system can make a critical difference in power, and this classic four-into-one design boosts low- and midrange torque and power. And wait until you hear how awesome it sounds!

• Quick shifter
  Equipping the six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter means you can upshift without the clutch under full power.

• Huge rear tire
  To get all that engine power to the road, the CB1000 Hornet SP comes with a massive 180/55-17 rear tire.

• Powerful brakes
  Large dual radial-mount four-piston Brembo front calipers bite 310mm floating rotors, while the rear caliper squeezes a 240mm rear rotor, the combination providing massive stopping power.

• Premium Brembo master cylinder
  For even better front-brake performance and feel, the CB1000 Hornet SP uses a premium Brembo radial front master cylinder.

• Anti-lock brakes
  Front and rear ABS are standard, which keeps braking even more under control, especially in adverse conditions.

• Special gearing
  We fit the close-ratio six-speed transmission with gearing designed to emphasize the bike’s awesome acceleration. Crack the throttle and you’ll feel it instantly.

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
  A great system that combines its old-school raw horsepower with a modern power delivery. HSTC keeps the bike hooked up and the power flowing under a wide variety of surface conditions.

• Throttle-by-wire and five ride modes
  Using our throttle–by-wire system, we’ve given this bike five riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain and two rider-programmable User modes). The User modes let you choose between three parameters, and then save the settings.

• All-LED lighting package
  When it comes to lighting, an all-LED setup offers lighter, brighter, and longer-lasting illumination throughout its entire package.

  Up front, a 41mm Showa SFF-BP inverted fork gives you true premium sportbike handling. And at the rear the story is even better, with a specially selected remote-reservoir Öhlins TTX36 shock.
