14 Best New Honda Motorcycles For 2023! Motorcycle Live

[@alexyang3638]

For me the Hornet, ever since launch, has been more cheap looking.. CB650's styling is basically a work of art

[@kankit230]

So many people agree to this , of they had to they could have just made hornet with cb650 styling and people would have loved that

[@panospanos5425]

absolutely correct....i keep on saying for a while now that especially honda is making fun of us with cheap marketing tricks....one 2cylinder for 20 bikes...

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@kankit230 But then It would even not look like the older hornets. At least now you could say it's a modern interpretation. With the Neo-Cafe styling it wouldn't be. Also what are they gonna do with two neo-cafe 95hp bikes?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@panospanos5425 As long as they have a 270° which my cb500f doesn't I won't complain. I'd also take a 300-500cc inline4, but they only exist in Asia.

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@kankit230 supposedly there will eventually be a neo retro version of it. Rumors they will call it the hawk 750

[@SlingKing2015]

It would be cool if Honda kept the CB650 in parallel for a while at least. It's so different from the new 750 Hornet. Great job as always.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

​@@jimnagel5611 I want a small 4cyl haha.

[@toofastnobrakes]

I wish they would have just bored and stoked it out to 750

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@toofastnobrakes what difference would that have made?

[@toofastnobrakes]

@@Daniel-dj7fh well if they kept it a longer stroke in line for like the current 650, it would make more horsepower than a twin. And it would still make pretty good low and mid range power. And also probably run a lot smoother. Not to mention it would actually make a hornet considering the classic was an I4 as well

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@toofastnobrakes Wasn't there a reason why they cancelled the cbr600rr, bad emissions?

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

Anything that resembles the original trail 70 is gold for me. Love that Honda has revisited this style in multiple forms. 👍🇨🇦🤪

[@Heavywall70]

I still love that CB1000. Honda is doing an awful lot right at the moment. As always, great content mate.

[@binaryblog]

Im glad CB650r is still available 😍

[@Mr.sterling]

From ghana 🇬🇭 watching with love @motobob great job

[@phoenix3580]

And here I am, waiting for Honda Hawk to get launched. I wonder many years until I can get my hands on it in New Zealand.

[@posteroonie]

I wish the 5-speed manual-clutch transmission was available on the Dax and Trail 125. The Cub is OK with just the automatic clutch. Good job Honda for such a great mini-moto selection!

[@GIGABACHI]

ALL those tiny motorcycles with their tiny engines need all the gears they can get. Closer spaced gears ratios help get the most out of the already scarce HP & TQ made by a 125cc, 2 valves, air-cooled Mono. Or you can space'em apart to get a lower 1st for "technical, slow pace stuff" and a taller 5th or 6th to keep NVH levels, fuel consumption and engine wear down on empty long backroads. +1 on the Honda great mini-moto selection comment ! They have covered almost every class there's to it while doing a great job at it ! 👌🙂👍

[@bonnie-voyage1005]

Another excellently presented video. So much better than any other KZbinr that I’ve seen presenting from the bike shows this year. 😊

[@rohimaaktar3523]

Eca q po'ot

[@Firestorm637]

In the 70’s, I grew up with the mini trail and trail 70. Bullet proof.

[@hbor77]

Nice update. I do miss the nice models, Honda used to make in the 600 till 1000 cc segment 🥲. Luckily they have the CB models 👍🏻. Will stick to my VFR 1200 for the coming years…

[@abyalex235]

The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade is a beast.

[@Dickotine]

Thanks for letting us know about the specs on the Fireblade and if they are making a RR-R SP and what it's specs are 👀

[@christosswc]

Love your energy man. I'll stick to my 125 for the time being for each and everyone of these babes is a case of "want" but ultimately "don't need"😉 In fact I had my sights on the Dax since I grew up during the era but could not wait for it to be my first bike since it wasn't due yet and so went for the XSR 125.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I agree that you really only need 15hp, but having ~30hp (offered by the 300cc bikes) will give you the option to go on the highway, and not have any issues on it.

[@christosswc]

@@Daniel-dj7fh As you go up in cc you gain something and you lose something else. For me the biggest lure is what you said, 300cc because single cylinder engines mean you maintain the low weight of the bike, low maintenance costs, fuel consumption etc, the same advantages of the 125cc just toned down in exchange for a healthy increase in performance. Personally I do not need highway perfromance, only ride around town so I'm cool but I agree with your point. A high capaity single cylinder is the biggest temptation for me though as I said it's not really necessary to me so I'm holding on strong.

[@Charlie-fc1mh]

I haven't even been on a bike in 45 years and now I'm wanting a liter bike. I don't even see myself riding over 200 miles away from my house. My first bike was like the Dax, not sure what they called it back in the 70s. Now I'm pushing 66 and I'm ready to ride again. It's probably going to be an africa twin 1100 or maybe the kawi 1000sx. I think the twin would be a more comfortable ride, especially for me, because of my height 6'1". I also weigh around 276 lbs. I've sat on a 2023 ninja 1000sx and it seems like it was fairly comfy. Definitely not as upright as the twin. 2023 ninja 1000sx out the door (15,030). Africa Twin 1100 ES out the door (20,000).

[@uhtred7860]

7:34 You can almost here that Africa Twin going "NOOOOOOOO!"😆

[@reyflowers6011]

Will it be available in canada?

[@ThermicLight]

Hope Honda doesn't take forever in releasing the 750 in a CBR version. 😦

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I'm waiting for this as well Or, even better they pop a 270° crank in the 500, then I can trade my cb500f for a cbr.

[@Firestorm637]

Honda makes many affordable bikes. I like the 1100 with the bags and bat wing fairing. Touring bikes from Harley are becoming too expensive for what you get. I like Hondas contemporary styling

[@queenslander954]

Good vid Bob , but the pace is a little hectic going from bike to bike & moving on while trying to take in the previous bike , 2-3 secs for each is not enough .. cruising through a bike show should be cruising nor hurrying.

[@wade998]

Nice! What are you using for a camera?

[@bobz1736]

Nice one Bob ! Love the Dax, but Rebel and CL exhaust systems look terrible ☹️

[@williamrae9954]

Easily changed... you can do a full system change on a Rebel 1100 for under £200 or a CL500 with a custom built mid-section for not a lot more, if you know anything about bikes...the stuffs available before the bikes are!

[@Dean-does-Stuff-81]

Bar none, the best motor bike vlogger any where on the internet....

[@ishanmisra7472]

cb 650 black looked gorgeous

[@ThermicLight]

Will never understand the all black appeal. Personally I think its so boring. But worst of all it's hard enough being seen on the road when riding. Let alone going for a colour that helps you blend against the concrete.

[@gordonwallin2368]

My first bike was a Honda, in 1967, now I've a Z1000. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@dizzicz]

How many months/days of year you can ride?

No but here's my rundown from the factory kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWbooN_gJmCj8U

[@leanit5756]

What's with the street tires on the Dax?

[@sonicmoj1]

Any of these DCTs?

[@robertcumming9390]

I was hoping the hornet would be a little more retro. I do like it tho. When you doing the podcast again? Really enjoy it walking the dog 🐶

[@forestmotoadventures]

I love the looks of my ‘21 black and gold (rims) Afric@ Twin AS ES DCT 😊

[@kloppskalli]

[@deborahchesser7375]

They need to remake the CBX, oh what a sound, my dream bike and with prices now? Always will be I guess.

[@cj548]

Dang, if that hazard sticker on the Dax ain't crooked

[@TheHayabusa09]

Hey MotoBob! What's the rumour surrounding the 2023 Kawasaki ZX15R?? Have you heard anything??

[@John900C]

Thank you so much for saying "colour options" and not "colour ways"😆

[@DaBinChe]

I see the new 750 twin taking over the 500 twin models so we'll have the Rebel750 etc. The TransAlp should of have tubeless spoke wheels.

[@two-up]

Hello great material very nice ride ;)

[@youngblood2]

No cruisers and/or touring bikes?

[@me2ontube]

I wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more of the fireblade - after all, that's what I came to see

[@uhtred7860]

Same, i thought the graphics on it looked alright, except the roll of film stuck to it🤣🤣

[@lesliehedges8252]

Just bring back the blackbird please. Best looking bike ever.

[@gizzync1525]

I'll take the 4 cyl versions of the hornet thanks

[@Firestorm637]

Nice choices Honda!

[@toofastnobrakes]

I know they will probably use the new 750 twin for it. But I wish Honda would just bore and stroke out the current cbr650r motor for the new cbr750r when it arrives

[@andyhorn2509]

No NT1100?

[@BigNailHead]

Nothing for the CB500X?

[@motobob]

No change I believe

[@adampierce9403]

I wish that 1100T had a manual option instead of forcing DCT

[@GoGoPower.Ranger]

They should make a big size grom.

[@JoLXP]

I'll be surprised if the Hornet doesn't sell more than the direct competitors.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

nothing there to get me writing to santa in a hurry ! sorry bob ,

[@boomotosailu]

honda africa twin 2023 my favourite bike I love this bike ❤

[@artoriaslee]

did you know that motobob is my favorite mototuber? idk just wanted to let you know that

[@Charlie-fc1mh]

IDK, I've been wanting an africa twin 1100 for a while now. Now I'm looking at the 2023 ninja 1000sx. I'm just thinking the kawi 1000sx will be more suitable for riding on the pavement. Also, when you twist the throttle on the sx, it'll probably make your butt pucker more than the africa twin. It's not a question of if, it's just when I'll get something. I just want to be sure before I spend the money.

[@monstermash479]

africa twin is probably way more comfortable though, and with a decent set of street tires itll do just fine on the pavement

I would love to engine swap the hornet engine to the body of the 650

[@robbo3106]

I hope they make a CBR 750rr for 2024 to keep my V4 Tuono company

[@TheArchitectJC]

ya the hornet is not a replacement for the CB650R. it may be competitive in performance and price but not is style. Anyone wanting a bike like the 650 will not be happy with a hornet, myself included.

[@02238584551614]

A Cb750r styled exactly like the 650 will hopefully be a future option espically in the black edition. I think it would sell well as the hornet's look are not making much of an impression.

[@alesterpadua7884]

Are they going to discontinue CB500F, CBR500R and CB500X?

[@williamrae9954]

Doubt that...they sell to many...sales of the CL500 will be massive,just wait!

[@alesterpadua7884]

@@williamrae9954 The only thing I didn't like about the CL500 is the same with the Husqvarva bikes which is tall seat height but with a low ground clearance. XSR series and other brands didn't have this issue. Even their KTM counterparts didn't have this issue. They are meant for looks and not meant to be a go-anywhere all-around bike

[@nhancao4790]

Lmao they all have just been updated

[@Firestorm637]

Hondas are the Toyotas of motorcycles. They transport you from point A to B without too much drama. They are not European type bikes with a little more flair but your not paying for that flair with a Honda.
