2023 Honda CB 750 Hornet Overview
Honda CB 750 Hornet is a naked bike motorcycle, displacing 755cc. Power comes from a Twin, four-stroke engine running Overhead Cams (OHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.0:1. On the performance side, it delivers 90 hp @ 9500rpm of peak power and 75Nm @ 7250rpm of torque. On the road, the 2023 CB 750 Hornet tips the scales at 190 kg, carries a 15.2-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 795 mm and spans a 1420 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 11.1 kg lighter than the average naked bike in our database. The full 2023 Honda CB 750 Hornet spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2023 CB 750 Hornet - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 90 hp @ 9500rpm and 75Nm @ 7250rpm of torque on tap, the CB 750 Hornet is no slouch for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
CB 750 Hornet's Liquid-cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.
Fuelling & injector care
The PGM-FI electronic injection on the CB 750 Hornet needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from 2 x 296 mm discs, 4 piston Nissin radial calipers - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The CB 750 Hornet's suspension runs 41 mm Showa SFF-BPTMTM USD at the front. The rear uses Monoshock damper, Pro-Link swingarm,. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The CB 750 Hornet uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Steel diamond, the CB 750 Hornet's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
CB 750 Hornet - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2023 Honda CB 750 Hornet with its 755cc naked bike, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 3 years old, this naked bike is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy CB 750 Hornet should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the CB 750 Hornet's 755cc twin, four-stroke like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). The sump holds 2.70 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With an 11.0:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the CB 750 Hornet needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
