The CB1000 Hornet SP delivers the smooth power delivery and high-pitched wail we love from inline-Fours. (Photography & videography by Align Media) The 2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP arrives in the U.S. with big-boy performance and premium touches. It’s powered by a re-tuned 998c inline-Four from the CBR1000RR and offers five ride modes, a slip/assist clutch, and a quickshifter. It comes with a fully adjustable Showa fork and fully adjustable Öhlins rear shock, dual Brembo Stylema front calipers, ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity. We took this streetfighter for a spin through California’s Gold Country and enjoyed its smooth and fast character, premium components, and predictable handling. Its combination of street-going comfort and high-tech performance makes it particularly appealing to seasoned riders.
