The Honda CB750 Hornet will receive a major visual update for 2027, with four new colour options giving the middleweight naked bike a fresh appearance. However, there are no mechanical changes to the motorcycle for the new model year.
The update follows Honda introducing its E-Clutch technology to the CB750 Hornet for 2026. The system allows riders to shift gears using the foot-operated shift pedal without having to operate the clutch lever, making pulling away, stopping and changing gears simpler.
Since its introduction in 2023, the CB750 Hornet has become one of Honda’s best-selling full-sized motorcycles. The company sold more than 10,000 examples in 2025 alone, highlighting the model’s popularity.
For 2027, buyers will be able to choose from four new colour combinations: Gunmetal Black Metallic and Ballistic Black Metallic, Mat Beta Silver Metallic and Iridium Gray Metallic, Glint Wave Blue and Mat Ballistic Black Metallic, and Grand Prix Red and Gunmetal Black Metallic.
All four colour options will be available on both versions of the CB750 Hornet, meaning customers can choose between the conventional clutch-operated model and the E-Clutch-equipped variant without being restricted to specific colours.
Underneath the updated styling, the Hornet continues with its 755cc parallel-twin engine, producing 90.5bhp at 9,500rpm and 74.6Nm of torque at 7,250rpm. The motorcycle also retains its comprehensive electronic rider-aid package, including Rain, Standard and Sport riding modes, along with two User modes.
The electronics package also includes three-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Wheelie Control, with three levels of adjustment for engine power and engine braking.
The chassis remains unchanged as well, with 41mm Showa Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks at the front. At the rear, the shock works through the steel swingarm using Honda’s Pro-Link system and provides 150mm of travel. Braking duties continue to be handled by a radial-mounted four-piston Nissin caliper and 296mm floating twin discs at the front, while the rear uses a single-piston caliper with a 240mm disc.
