Reviewed: Honda Hornet 500

[@ronlysons6750]

I've had mine for 5 weeks and about 500 miles I'm 80 mpg. Having said that, I do ride it like I drive my car. That's because I'm 70 years old.The cornering is brilliant, really grippy and the bike is very smooth.

Good, concise review and I agree with the conclusions. Had mine for about 6 months and done about 4K miles. I love it. For UK roads it's pretty much spot on.

Nice to hear a honest opinion about true MPG, and weight of these bikes to manhandled into your shed...

[@iantapsell4003]

Have owned mine since April and love it. The bike may never break any records or set the world alight but what it is, is a fantastic fun to ride motorcycle offering enough power and great handling. Styling is always subjective and for me, I like the looks overall.

Use like not love. Love is use for affection to living things or human

We’re still getting the CB500F for 2025 in North America. I like the newer headlight and the updated dash on the Hornet. Plus you guys always get a better colour selection than us. 😢 LOL

“Explosive” power in the midrange! Love the enthusiasm, at least 😇

For a 500.

What is the top speed?

It's a CB 500 but more ugly.

What’s the difference between a ‘ colour way’ and a Colour? Just marketing BS. Please don’t insult us by using it.

[@JamesMurphy-ry2mx]

I think colour way is an Americanism similar to straight away. I could be wrong! Slava Ukraine !🇺🇦

A real Hornet has four cylinders, simple as.......

[@robertbryson4576]

A real hornet is an insect actually but a real Honda is a four cyl….I’ll get my coat.
