The Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch 2026 is built for riders who want middleweight punch, sharp streetfighter attitude and everyday usability in one seriously exciting package. It has the kind of bold, stripped-back presence that makes an instant impression before the engine is even fired up. Honda’s design centres on agility, dynamism and lightweight feel, with a compact, aggressive silhouette and a fuel tank inspired by the outline of a hornet’s wing.

At the heart of the bike is Honda’s 755cc liquid-cooled SOHC 8-valve parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crank, producing 67.5 kW at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm at 7,250 rpm. Honda describes the CB750 Hornet as delivering class-leading power through a lightweight chassis, and the engine backs that up with strong mid-range drive, fast-revving character and a distinctive pulse through the rev range. It is the kind of motor that feels lively in town, urgent on open roads and properly entertaining when you start pushing on.

What really sets this version apart is Honda E-Clutch. On the 2026 CB750 Hornet, Honda’s E-Clutch works with Throttle By Wire for smoother, more intuitive shifting and extra stability, especially when pulling away, cornering or riding over rougher surfaces. You still get the involvement of a 6-speed manual gearbox, but the system can manage clutch operation for you, making starts, stops and gear changes easier and more seamless. You can also use the clutch lever normally whenever you want, or switch the system off through the TFT display.

Honda has also given the CB750 Hornet a strong technology package to match its performance. The 5-inch full-colour TFT meter is easy to read and operate through the left-hand switchgear, and Honda RoadSync adds smartphone connectivity for navigation, music and more. Throttle By Wire opens up Sport, Standard, Rain and User riding modes, with the ability to tune Honda Selectable Torque Control, Wheelie Control, Engine Power and Engine Braking to suit the rider and the road ahead. LED lighting, self-cancelling indicators and a USB-C socket all add to the bike’s everyday appeal.

On the chassis side, the CB750 Hornet E-Clutch keeps things light, compact and confidence-inspiring. A steel diamond frame, 41 mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks and a Pro-Link rear shock help deliver fast steering, clear feedback and impressive comfort over rougher roads. Honda lists a 795 mm seat height, 196 kg kerb weight and 15.2-litre fuel tank, which all combine to make the bike approachable for daily riding while still feeling serious enough for spirited weekend runs. Radial-mount four-piston front calipers and twin 296 mm front discs underline the bike’s sporty intentions.

There is substance behind the style too. The dual LED headlight gives the front end a distinctive signature, while the minimalist bodywork keeps the overall look clean, sharp and purposeful. Honda also notes the use of post-consumer recycled plastics on parts including the rear fender, headlight cover, shroud and pivot cover, adding a more forward-thinking touch to the ownership story. For riders looking at licence flexibility, Honda also states that a 35 kW A2 licence option is available through an ECU rewrite by authorised Honda dealers.

Why choose the Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch 2026: it gives you the attitude and performance of a true modern streetfighter, but with the added smoothness and convenience of Honda E-Clutch for easier everyday riding. If you want a bike that looks sharp, feels lively and brings real-world usability to every journey, this Hornet makes a very strong case.
