2026 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP Matte Black Metallic

Feel the power

Talk about the right bike for the way we ride today: The CB1000 Hornet SP offers incredible old-school performance combined with modern features and refinement. And in addition to its powerful engine, where the SP really leaves the competition behind is when it comes to price. Nothing else on two wheels—or maybe four—gives you as much bang for the buck. Add with its awesome streetfighter look you can see why it’s proven one of the most popular open-class streetbikes in recent history.

Features May Include:

Inline four engine

• The powerful 1000cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda Superbikes, and based on our CBR1000RR, but specially tuned for more midrange horsepower and torque for the street rider.

Four-into-one exhaust

• The exhaust system can make a critical difference in power, and this classic four-into-one design boosts low- and midrange torque and power. And wait until you hear how awesome it sounds!

Slipper/assist clutch

• This innovative design hooks up tight to get all of the power to the ground, yet still offers a light pull at the clutch lever. Plus, it helps mitigate rear wheel hop under deceleration.

Quick shifter

• Equipping the six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter means you can upshift without the clutch under full power.

Huge rear tire

• To get all that engine power to the road, the CB1000 Hornet SP comes with a massive 180/55-17 rear tire.

Powerful brakes

• Large dual radial-mount four-piston Brembo front calipers bite 310mm floating rotors, while the rear caliper squeezes a 240mm rear rotor, the combination providing massive stopping power.

Premium Brembo master cylinder

• For even better front-brake performance and feel, the CB1000 Hornet SP uses a premium Brembo radial front master cylinder.

Anti-lock brakes

• Front and rear ABS are standard, which keeps braking even more under control, especially in adverse conditions.

Special gearing

• We fit the close-ratio six-speed transmission with gearing designed to emphasize the bike’s awesome acceleration. Crack the throttle and you’ll feel it instantly.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

• A great system that combines its old-school raw horsepower with a modern power delivery. HSTC keeps the bike hooked up and the power flowing under a wide variety of surface conditions.

Throttle-by-wire and five ride modes

• Using our throttle–by-wire system, we’ve given this bike five riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain and two rider-programmable User modes). The User modes let you choose between three parameters, and then save the settings.

All-LED lighting package

• When it comes to lighting, an all-LED setup offers lighter, brighter, and longer-lasting illumination throughout its entire package.

Understated style

• Tough, no-nonsense streetfighter style and a black-on-black color palette sends a subtle message that this is a premium machine.

Wide choice of accessories

• Make your CB1000 Hornet SP even more yours with a wide range of Honda accessories. Check them out and see how you can make an awesome bike even better.

Open riding position

• Opening up the rider triangle lets you sit up a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point than hardcore sportbikes. Plus, most riders will find it a bit more comfortable, too.

Lean, light, strong

• Weighing a mere 465 pounds, full of gas and ready to ride, this bike earns its welterweight champion status. A lean open-class inline-four, devoid of excess, you get maximum performance, agility, and sheer enjoyment.

Top-tier suspension

• Up front, a 41mm Showa SFF-BP inverted fork gives you true premium sportbike handling. And at the rear the story is even better, with a specially selected remote-reservoir Öhlins TTX36 shock.

Five-inch TFT instrument display

• Check out the instruments on this awesome machine. You get a big, bright, five-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display that gives you a choice of six display settings with all the information you’ll need while riding.

Honda RoadSync

• Our Honda RoadSync app comes as standard equipment. With it you can also display music, phone navigation functions on the five-inch instrument screen.
