Two new-for-2025 Honda Hornet models, the CB750 Hornet (left) and CB1000 Hornet SP (right), inject new energy into the streetfighter segment. (Photos by Align Media) Most people fear hornets, but they are surprisingly shy and only become aggressive when they have to be. This is also true for two new-for-2025 Honda Hornet motorcycles. After creating buzz in Europe since 2023, the long-awaited CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP have finally landed in the U.S., ready to inject fresh energy into the streetfighter category. Both offer aggressive styling, modern tech, and finely tuned performance that targets everyone from new to veteran riders. The 2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP (left) is available in Matte Metallic Black and the CB750 Hornet (right) is available in Matte Pearl White (shown) and Matte Metallic Black. Honda invited us to test both Hornets during a two-day press ride across nearly 400 miles of California’s scenic Sierra Nevada foothills and historic Gold Country. From twisty canyons to roller-coaster roads and sun-drenched highways, we got friendly with these two sharp additions to Honda’s lineup. Day 1: Honda CB750 Hornet We like the splash of red on the Matte Pearl White color option on the CB750 Hornet. We kicked off from downtown Sacramento, riding northeast into the Sierra Nevada foothills toward Auburn State Recreation Area, looping back via Placerville. This 200-mile route gave us a chance to put the CB750 Hornet through its paces, and it delivered. The CB750’s 755cc Unicam parallel-Twin is shared with the XL750 Transalp, and it’s an absolute treat. It’s smooth down low but really comes alive in the mid to upper rev range. The 270-degree crank gives it a throaty, engaging feel, and for a stock exhaust, the sound is surprisingly deep and growly. I love the tune of the exhaust; it impressed me more and more throughout the ride. The CB750 Hornet’s 755cc parallel-Twin is shared with the Transalp. In the U.S., it makes 83 hp at 8,500 rpm. What really sets the CB750 apart is its handling. With a 422-lb curb weight and a stiff steel-diamond frame, it feels flickable and light on its feet. The Michelin Road 6 tires with a 160/70 rear help the bike dive into corners confidently and carve through canyon roads. The Showa suspension, a nonadjustable Separate Function Fork-Big Piston and preload-adjustable, remote-reservoir Pro-Link shock with 5.1 inches of travel front and rear, punches above its weight. It handled whatever I threw at it! From soaking up bumps and keeping things planted during spirited riding to bringing the front wheel up on command, it took it all in stride. The CB750 Hornet is a light, flickable bike. Comfort and usability were clearly top of mind when designing the CB750. At 5-foot-6, I found the 31.3-inch seat height approachable, and the upright ergos, wide handlebar, and slightly rear-set pegs provide a natural, in-control position. There are multiple ride modes to choose from: Standard, Sport, Rain, and customizable User 1 and User 2. User modes allow the rider to set preferences for throttle response, engine braking, and traction control, adding to the bike’s versatility. The 5-inch TFT display is crisp and easy to read, and Honda’s RoadSync integration adds smartphone functionality like navigation, calls, and music. Menus and settings are controlled via a four-way backlit switch on the left grip. All lighting is LED, there’s a USB-C port under the seat, and turnsignals are self-canceling. Honda Selectable Torque Control (aka traction control) with integrated wheelie control has three levels or it can be turned off. The CB750 Hornet is the definition of a “sleeper.” It might not scream superbike, but it delivers thrills in abundance, especially on twisty roads. It’s more composed and less twitchy than rivals like the Yamaha MT-07, yet it still has that raw 2-cylinder charm. The electronics are helpful without being overbearing, and the ergonomics make it accessible for a wide range of riders. The handling is sharp, the powerband is exciting but manageable, and the whole package feels light, intuitive, and fun. Keeping up with the other riders on the CB1000 was no issue while riding the CB750, and I couldn’t hold back my grin while chasing them down! The CB750 Hornet in Matte Metallic Black. GEAR UP Helmet: Arai Corsair-X Jacket: Alpinestars Stella Airbag Vest: Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Gloves: Sedici Chicane 2 Women’s Glove Pants: Alpinestars Daisy V3 Jeans Boots: Sedici Tourisma WP Women’s For commuting, backroad bombing, or anything in between, the CB750 Hornet is a confident, charismatic middleweight that delivers versatile performance for a reasonable price. It’s a perfect entry-level or upgrade machine for newer riders, but it won’t leave seasoned riders bored. Day 2: Honda CB1000 Hornet SP The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP replaces the CB1000R Black Edition. The second day brought a shift in character and machinery. Riding through California’s Gold Country on a 190-mile loop, I stepped up to the CB1000 Hornet SP. This bike brings big-boy performance with premium touches, and you feel it the moment you twist the throttle. Powered by a re-tuned 998cc inline-Four from the 2017 CBR1000RR, the CB1000 Hornet SP is smooth, fast, and full of character. It’s paired with a throttle-by-wire system with rider modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, User 1, and User 2) and a 6-speed transmission with a slip/assist clutch. The SP is also equipped with a quickshifter with auto-blip capabilities, and the quickshifter’s sensitivity can be adjusted to respond to a softer to harder press of the shifter. Compared to the CB750 Hornet, the CB1000 Hornet SP is a big step up in terms of power, performance, and refinement. Despite being derived from a superbike engine, the CB1000 Hornet SP felt entirely controllable. The power never seemed too much and certainly not too little. The linear power delivery was so smooth that I didn’t realize how fast I was going until I looked down at the speedo…and saw a high number! While heavier than the CB750, the CB1000 didn’t feel like a lumbering brute. Its Bridgestone Battleax S22 tires with a 180/70 rear delivered excellent grip and agility. It took more muscle than the CB750 to flick it into tight turns, but it responded predictably and with poise. The fully adjustable 41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork and fully adjustable Öhlins TTX36 rear shock are a big upgrade, keeping the ride composed even when pushing hard on less than perfect pavement. The CB1000 thoroughly surprised me with how comfortable it felt at differing speeds and riding environments. It handled excellently in the twisties, comfortably on the highway, and easy in city commuting. The Showa SFF-BP is fully adjustable, and the front calipers are primo Brembo Stylemas. Braking was equally impressive, thanks to Brembo Stylema front calipers squeezing 310mm discs, serious hardware with real bite. The rubber brake lines did not seem to limit the performance of the brakes, and the ABS was not intrusive. The only hiccup for me was the Honda Selectable Torque Control (aka traction control), which felt a bit too eager for my taste. Wheelie control is also integrated into HSTC, but luckily, it’s easy to turn off so I could test how light I could make the front end. The 5-inchTFT display has three themes: a bar-style tach (shown), a circle-style tach, or a simple theme with just numbers. Both Hornets feature Honda’s RoadSync Bluetooth system. Like the CB750, the CB1000 has a 5-inch TFT display with three display modes and Honda’s new RoadSync system, which pairs to a smartphone via Bluetooth. It also has a four-way backlit menu controller on the left grip, LED lighting, self-canceling turnsignals, and a USB-C port under the seat. The CB1000 Hornet SP is the grown-up sibling. It’s not as immediately playful as the CB750, but it brings a level of refinement, speed, and tech that places it firmly among other naked bikes such as the Yamaha MT-10. Despite its power and size, it’s surprisingly approachable. The engine is predictable and tractable, the electronics make it customizable, and the chassis feels solid at both high and low speeds. The Öhlins shock gives it an edge in ride quality, and the Brembo brakes provide plenty of stopping power. And let’s not forget that classic inline-Four sound and performance, a staple among sportbike enthusiasts. The CB1000 Hornet SP delivers the smooth power delivery and high-pitched wail we love from inline-Fours. The SP is a bike that feels right at home on a Sunday backroad sprint, on long stretches of freeway, and even in the close quarters of city riding. For experienced riders who want sportbike thrills without committing to clip-ons and race ergonomics, the CB1000 Hornet SP hits the sweet spot. Honda Hornet Final Thoughts Honda has given us two very different expressions of the streetfighter with the 2025 Hornet lineup, and both sting in their own way. The CB750 Hornet is the scrappy boxer that’s lightweight, flickable, and loaded with charm. It’s easy to ride but rewards confidence, and its parallel-Twin delivers just the right amount of punch for real-world fun. It’s ideal for newer riders or anyone who wants a bike that’s as playful as it is practical. The CB1000 Hornet SP is the polished heavyweight that’s powerful, refined, and high-tech. It brings in serious performance chops from the Fireblade family but is packaged for the street. For seasoned riders who want liter-bike power without sacrificing comfort, this one’s a knockout. Perhaps the most attractive factor to consider is the price of these enticing machines, with the CB750 Hornet priced at $7,999 and the CB1000 Hornet SP at $10,999. These are competitive prices when considering other naked bikes in their respective classes.

Following a horrific terrorist attack on a group of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators earlier this month, GOP lawmakers advanced a bill in the House aimed at clearly denouncing the violent act of apparent antisemitism. Although a few dozen House Democrats voted with their Republican counterparts to ensure the bill’s passage, the majority of them rejected it. The “no” votes from so many legislators drew swift backlash from the GOP side of the aisle. According to the New York Post: The resolution, introduced by Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Colo.), cleared the lower chamber 280-113, with 75 Democrats joining Republicans to pass the measure. Democrats fumed over language in the resolution expressing “gratitude to law enforcement, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.” The National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP’s campaign arm, charged that Democrats voting against the bill “sided with terrorists over police officers and flat-out refused to condemn antisemitism.” House Democrats sided with terrorists over police officers and flat-out refused to condemn antisemitism. Democrats have become the pro-terrorist, anti-cop, antisemitic caucus. And they’re proud of it. https://t.co/dR5lNL8oH7 — NRCC (@NRCC) June 9, 2025 Here are the names of the 113 House Democrats who just voted AGAINST @RepGabeEvans’ resolution denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/jBOZXcRjBF — RJC (@RJC) June 9, 2025 Last night, 113 of my Democrat colleagues voted *against* a resolution condemning the antisemitic attack in Boulder. Let that sink in. Why would anyone refuse to denounce this hatred? pic.twitter.com/qaDIg35t37 — Rep. Ralph Norman (@RepRalphNorman) June 10, 2025 Fox News also reported on the recent vote: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized Evans’ resolution in comments to reporters on Monday. “Who is this guy? He’s not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort,” Jeffries said. “Antisemitism is a scourge on America. It shouldn’t be weaponized politically.” Jeffries also called Evans “a joke.” Evans responded on X, “I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, & now as a Congressman. This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat’s Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions.” Here’s a clip of Jeffries’ remarks following the vote:

Although he aligns with his own party’s leftist stance on most issues, Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been a fly in the ointment when it comes to immigration. After the Big Apple was inundated by illegal immigrants under the Biden administration, Adams began voicing concerns that conservatives had expressed for years. Now that Los Angeles is under siege by leftist rioters opposed to the Trump administration’s much tougher immigration policies, Adams is making it clear that he won’t stand for such lawlessness in his city. Putting up a united front with local law enforcement, the mayor led a press conference on the topic this week. According to the Daily Caller: “The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable and would not be tolerated if attempted in our city,” Adams said during a press conference Monday alongside NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Adams and Tisch appeared as a united front as the mayor encouraged would-be protesters to “choose peace and compassion over anger and retaliation.” “I want to assure all New Yorkers that we have the best police department in the world. Men and women who are prepared to handle any issues that may arise, especially when we are faced with deep division in our society,” Adams said. Meanwhile on the opposite coast, Democratic leaders are either ambivalent on the lawlessness or they’re actively encouraging protesters to become even more destructive: A Waymo self-driving cab got vandalized during the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles on Friday. Mayor Karen Bass has unfortunately been promoting this lawlessness in LA by refusing to work with ICE and even pledging to defend the illegals. Shame on Bass.pic.twitter.com/97uv8NkzWK — Paul A.

In April, people were angry with Hernandez because she wouldn’t do anything about the homeless encampment in her district.

DEMOCRATS FUNDED THE LA RIOTS: I appeared on Newsmax to explain how Gov.

WATCH: pic.twitter.com/EhdyOI0Yps — Carl DeMaio (@carldemaio) June 9, 2025 Adams’ effort to get out in front of possible riots in New York comes as similar demonstrations are breaking out across the U.S. According to Newsweek: Protests against actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement erupted in several cities across the United States on Monday after clashes between protesters and authorities intensified in Los Angeles over the weekend. Demonstrators gathered in major cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Tampa, San Francisco against ICE raids and in solidarity with the protesters in Los Angeles. Why It Matters The protests have highlighted ongoing divisions over U.S. immigration policy and its impact on communities across the country. Protests against ICE erupted in Los Angeles on Friday, as federal authorities arrested immigrants in several locations throughout the city. Tensions escalated Sunday as thousands took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard. Trump and other administration officials have seized on the images of burning cars, graffiti and Mexican flags to bolster their cause, while California sued the Trump administration over the deployment of National Guard troops. Here’s some additional coverage of Adams’ latest remarks:  

As Joe Biden continued to demonstrate an apparent rapid rate of cognitive decline during his term in the White House, speculation swirled that his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, was either ignoring the signs or sweeping under the rug. But those aren’t the only allegations being made against the former White House doctor. In a recent statement, the man who previously held the same position made some shocking claims about O’Connor’s behavior while on the job. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) served as the physician during President Donald Trump’s first term as well as during Barack Obama’s time in office. According to the Daily Caller: Jackson said that during his time as Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), he was responsible for signing O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. During the interview, he said he thought about getting rid of O’Connor for a “variety of reasons” before accusing Biden’s doctor of inappropriate sexual behavior. “One was because of some very inappropriate behavior on his part,” Jackson stated. Jackson said O’Connor would take other people’s phones and put them down his pants near his groin as a prank, as well as make sexually inappropriate comments that upset female coworkers. Jackson did not provide specific places or dates where the conduct allegedly occurred. He also did not identify the women who were allegedly subjected to the behavior. “I didn’t get rid of him because I knew it would be an exercise in futility,” Jackson explained. “Because if I had gotten rid of him, it was made very clear to me that I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama telling me, ‘What are you doing? Joe Biden’s upset. You need to hire this guy back or you need to stop this. You can’t get rid of this guy.’” He added, “It was something we had to deal with.” “Sexually inappropriate comments and little things, like he used to think it was very funny,” Jackson explained. “This is like something you would see a 12-year-old boy do, but one of the things he would do — and I’ve seen him do it several times — is he would meet people for the first time, and he would ask them for their phone. And they would give him their phone, and he would stick their phone in his pants in the area where his groin’s at, then give them their phone back. And he thought that was absolutely hilarious. And most people were just astonished — they were just kind of like, what’s going on here?” Jackson’s bombshell allegations came as O’Connor continued to face public pressure regarding his behavior during the Biden years: What did Kamala know?What did Kevin O’Connor know?What did Ron Klain know?What did Jeff Zients know?What did Biden’s Cabinet know? THEY ALL put political power over country & left a mentally incapacitated POTUS in office.

This is a either a case… — toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) May 19, 2025 Of course, the latest allegations were far from the first complaints Jackson has made about the former White House doctor. As Mint reported in May: Jackson went further, suggesting that O’Connor was too close to the Biden family to be objective in his role as physician. “I’ve known him for a long time; he’s part of the Biden family,” Jackson said. “He would do or say anything to cover up and protect that family, regardless of what it meant professionally for him.” He also implicated First Lady Jill Biden, suggesting she played a role in concealing the president’s condition. “This could not have been covered up without him — and Jill Biden — in particular,” Jackson stated. Here’s what Jackson had to say about O’Connor during an interview last month: Dr. Kevin O’Connor worked for me when I was the Director of the White House Medical Unit. He was Vice President Biden’s doctor then and was borderline competent at the time. The only reason I didn’t get rid of him was because he was untouchable and protected by the Biden… pic.twitter.com/HOEHMQed6b — Ronny Jackson (@RonnyJacksonTX) May 22, 2025
