Honda CB750 Hornet receives all-new colour line-up for 2027

Honda’s CB750 Hornet will look considerably different in 2027 after receiving a major colour refresh, although the middleweight naked remains unchanged mechanically.

This latest update comes off the back of Honda giving the CB750 Hornet its acclaimed E-Clutch technology for 2026, which allows riders to change gear by simply using the shift pedal.

This removes the need to use the clutch lever as is the traditional way of operating any motorcycle, which in-turn makes pulling away, stopping and changing gears simpler.

The CB750 Hornet was first introduced in 2023, and since then, it has become one of the Japanese company’s best-selling full-sized motorcycles. Honda sold over 10,000 units of the CB750 Hornet in 2025 alone.

Additionally, it has become one of the top three best-selling nakeds in Europe in the past two years, according to Honda.

In terms of the new colours for 2027, customers will now have the choice of four different options. 

These include Gunmetal Black Metallic and Ballistic Black Metallic, Mat Beta Silver Metallic and Iridium Gray Metallic, Glint Wave Blue and Mat Ballistic Black Metallic, and finally, Grand Prix Red and Gunmetal Black Metallic. 

All four colourways are available on the standard clutch-operated CB750 Hornet, as well as the E-Clutch variant. 

With the bike mechanically unchanged heading into 2027, it will continue to make use of its 755cc parallel twin that produces 90.5 bhp at 9,500rpm and 55 Ib-ft of torque at 7,250rpm.

The updated Hornet also features a comprehensive suite of electronic rider aids, including three riding modes; Rain, Standard and Sport, plus two User modes, three-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and Wheelie Control with three-level Engine Power and Engine Braking adjustability.

Suspension is handled via Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BPTM) USD forks, while the rear shock operates through the bike’s steel swingarm via Pro-Link, which offers 150mm of travel.

Stopping power is provided by a radial mounted four-piston Nissin brake caliper, which is mated to a 296mm floating double disc. At the rear is a single piston caliper and 240mm single disc.
