2025 Honda CB 1000 Hornet SP: Longer onboard POV riding impressions!

[@brett3758]

Love the fact that not only do you get to learn a lot about the different bikes you review but i get to go to parts of the world i'll never see in person, thankyou for the multi-level enjoyment.

[@UsernameKate]

[@classicraceruk1337]

Not long enough Kate, that was an amazing ride. I think you enjoyed that. That Honda looks great for £10k.

[@rlw85]

I enjoyed the film my baby nephew laughed and giggled all the way through then cried when it finished

[@UsernameKate]

not cried!! Noooo haha

[@mageprometheus]

Sunday morning with Kate. I want it every week! My old mate would finish every sentence with 'like'. Ay, let's go to the pub like. So amusing.

[@LundRebel]

Very nice ride. Enjoying the twisty. Thanks for letting us ride along, Kate..

[@onetwothree4042]

This is so enjoyable to watch! I look forward to get my license and go on road trips myself. You are a great inspiration for me as another woman that loves flying like an Angel. Thank you so much

[@charlesemerson6763]

Another bike you can never have no matter how much you want it. I haven't ridden a Honda sports bike since the CB1100F in the early eighties, 83 I think. A lovely red and white beastie that certainly delivered the goods. I think it was called a super bol'dor down here.

[@pauljoyce6535]

I really enjoyed that form of review, and also enjoyed the ride. Well done and thanks.

[@martinforrester8249]

That road was awesome Kate, reminded me of the Cat & Fiddle...but on a dry day ( in the summer, early morning). I've encouraged my mates in Aussieland to subscribe to your channel. Look forward to more rides with you.

[@BeijaminRebelo]

Hi Kate, I have been watching your videos for quite sometime, they are on point, specially Honda hornet, which I'm keen on buying

[@phillipchandler8862]

That was a good roundup of the bike. Of course that was in wonderful Spain with their great roads and weather. Will be interesting to find out how the machine handles the UK's wretched offerings. I reckon with the fully adjustable suspension it will be ok. Nice riding and entertaining video 👍

[@mickmills5404]

Ordered mine, due in April 👍

[@imag777]

Thanks for your reviews on this bike Kate, they helped me decide (also after a test ride yesterday) that it was my next bike. X

[@danieljurca2113]

"smooth as a silkworm's fart" LOL. Indeed. Great review

[@storegga]

Kate love these longer edits!!. I literally play it in the background headphones at work and just listen to the bike and reactions. FYI I've bought the SP model so your vids help with that extra conviction . I'm told May1st2025 delivery but I'll believe that when I see it !

[@ravenslament622]

Hi Kate thanks for posting something sunshiny on this cold grey day. On visiting a Silkworm farm I can confirm that there Bottom burps are indeed silent.

[@giovannidicarlo9047]

pure ride with talk, i like it a lot

[@brulaapgaapmeester8052]

A nice ride in wonderful Spain, on a new bike, and some goats at the very end, and we all know that goat vindaloo is delicious.

[@samuelecaprera4466]

Thanks, Kate. I'm upgrading my CB600 Hornet; I'm still deciding on the version, probably the SP, and respraying it red.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Riding in Portugal and Spain are on my want list. They seem like awesome places to ride. Fun seeing so much riding footage with great sceneries, an awesome bike which sounds pretty good already and you telling some stuff about the bike etc. The CB Neo Retro are not followed up/replaced by the Hornet for those who didn't know. The Hornet is it's own model. A hella good looking one if you ask me. I have no reason for a 1000 CC bike. Though this Hornet 1000 SP is making me doubt, it's that awesome to me for whatever reason. When I saw the video of the release I was like omg such an awesome bike. Have yet to ride the Hornet 750 as well, which I am really wanting to do. Maybe own one as well. I'll be hoarding a lot of bikes i've found out. I want to add multiple already, lol. Not that I need to, just for the want. 😂My Kawasaki Z750 gives me more then enough joy still. 😆

[@JohnLongdin]

What a fantastic machine for the money isn't it. Perfect roads to try it as well 😍

[@rickseyb2993]

Good riding Kate

[@liamato1]

Will chat with you about this bike in Gran Canaria, great video. 😁👍🏍️

[@gordonwallin2368]

Great fun, and as I can't ride here yet, bit of rain, -4C, I have you to ride a bike rather similar to my own (2003 Z1000 with Muzzy cans, and black.). It looks like a pretty cool deal, that Honda. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@Englishbikerdan]

I LOVE how when you say "walk round the bike" you do a little hand gesture of holding the camera! Kate you are SO wholesome!! ☺

[@AW8UK]

Owned a 600 Hornet & own a CB1000R. For many...prohibitive insurance on newer bikes, (in general), is more of a financial factor than attractive bike purchase &/or finance cost(s).....Bike theiving vermin obviously impact those insurance premiums. I still think abscence of IMU (standard or cost option ) is a significant omission. Thanks Kate👍🏍

[@adam-d3m5y]

great bike kate

[@terryomara9403]

Ive bought one cant weight first inline4 and its a honda i out to see how it competes with v4 which had a few years ago loved the v4 but it was to heavy as i get older it sounds like this hornet dont seem that great vid young lady 😀👍

[@Mancs1000r]

That is a mint bike for the price!

[@AdamForeman]

I see Toad taking the piss!

[@UsernameKate]

Always 🤣🤣🤣

[@ianhalliwell8604]

Really good bike at a fantastic price, what an effort by Honda. Great to see a mainstream manufacturer taking on the Chinese. BMW, Ducati, Triumph up your game or you could lose sales hand over fist, Honda are on a roll.

[@C0zyDunt]

Base model in Red ordered. Hope it doesn't have the lean forward to accelerate feature.

[@warhobbit7951]

I have the Honda CB 750 Hornet I wish I could try this and see the difference

[@stevieeplea5611]

Morning Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this later on love seeing you on 2 wheels wearing that swanky helmet and dark visor more vlogs with lily maybe a trackday soon ride safe lovely 🌹

[@ianhockington7289]

So Kate, Honda Hornet 1000 or Suzuki GSX-8R for your next bike after you sell your BMW GS and Suzuki GSX 750 Track bike🤔

[@SomewhereInside]

Backpack straps flapping in the wind , they can be annoying at speed pecking at your body in the wind ? Find wrapping them so no loose ends is better.👍

[@UsernameKate]

Honestly, I don't even notice them 😊

[@SomewhereInside]

@ 🤔

[@UsernameKate]

? If i did, and they annoyed me, I'd do something about it. But I couldn't care any less about them

[@SomewhereInside]

@@UsernameKate How odd🤓…they drive me crazy when they flap in the wind …like a jacket top collar pinging the helmet . But as you say if it doesn’t bother …why bother .👍

[@vask3863]

So, the premium model gets the ugliest colour? Does the older Neo sports Cafe model has an IMU?

[@samuelecaprera4466]

Absolutely right. I'm thinking to get the SP and respray it in red.

[@victorgonza4528]

Not coming to the US .

[@martinhughes9769]

If your into naked bikes, can't see any reason why you wouldn't buy one at this price, 👍

[@brendonchase9460]

❤

[@johnterry804]

Good video! But on those roads in the sun? It would have to be really shit ! Not to feel good? You need a longer test in the Uk 🇬🇧? I enjoyed Mike videos off road!!

[@deanfullford8820]

Still no Aussie price yet. Come on Honda, or are you hoping we will forget how cheap it is in the UK when you release it here with an inflated price???

[@56Spookdog]

👍👍

[@endaugadget6679]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@123miffed]

Shame you were behind Toad he was slow into twistys

[@michaelmckenna2882]

Painfully slow, didn't look confident at all, he was like a moving chicane

[@petewatson9866]

I can’t see Honda selling any base models, in 3 years when all the PCP contracts ends, there will be a glut of SP’S on the market and going for what? 😮

[@RobertDodge]

Obviously not having an IMU fitted added to the cost reduction

[@UsernameKate]

You say that but the suzuki gsxs1000 doesn't have one either 😊

[@JohnGoldie-s5r]

Tickled that you covered your eyes crocodile. Although I doubt if you would have been able to see anything anyway.

[@dazzerf8392]

We all like a tight one 😊😂

[@JuanRamonBarreraChinea]

Tu lo ke estas es buena al diablo la moto

[@gk73man51]

Firstly - roads to die for, profoundly jealous and I guess you’ll be posting a load of GC stuff soon to make me even more jelly 😬 secondly, how are the other manufacturers going to compete at this price point? If I was buying a new big bike I wouldn’t even sit on anything else, at that price point it only had to be decent, and it appears it’s actually rather good.

[@hakankillberg6043]

Lucky you. It may be cheap for you in the UK but here in Sweden its 60% more expensive. So for us its not cheap rather expensive. I just pass on this bike even if i want one its not worth the price and insurance cost on top of that 😢

[@michaelfraser5723]

The most technically advanced motor cycle manufacturer on the world could charge what it likes, but it doesn't. It is happy with fair profits instead. Harley Davidson, take note.

[@LegendRudy]

le doublage en français est juste une horreur c'est incompréhensible les "O" 150 fois par minute c'est horrible! heureusement que le paysage est sympa...

[@joseilsonferreira6388]

Nova 😂😂Honda Kawasaki z mil

[@vermin42]

🥱 How boring, good grief. Another fantastic video from @Usernamekate 😂 Come on, give us something out of the ordinary. Use your northern imagination 🤭 💋
