The engine
The engine and performance of the CB1000 Hornet SP is powered by a four-cylinder unit derived from the CBR1000RR Fireblade. Thanks to changes to the exhaust system, the SP version's engine generates even more power - 157 hp, with maximum torque of 107 Nm. This slight increase in power over the standard Hornet makes the CB1000 Hornet SP stand out with even more dynamic performance, providing excitement both on the straights and in the corners.
The upgraded drivetrain is mated to a six-speed transmission equipped with a quickshifter, which allows smooth gear changes without the need for a clutch. This solution improves driving comfort, especially in dynamic road conditions.
Advanced suspension and brakes specifically for the SP version
A key feature of the SP version is the top-quality components used in the suspension and brakes. The front wheel is guided by a fully adjustable 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD fork, while at the rear you'll find a superb Öhlins TTX36 shock that works with the Pro-Link system. As a result, the suspension provides full control of the motorcycle, regardless of road conditions, offering precise adjustment of damping and rebound.
Brembo Stylema brakes, radial-mount calipers with 310mm-diameter floating discs, provide a top-notch braking system, ensuring confidence and efficiency even under hard braking.
Style and equipment
The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP not only provides excellent performance, but also features a modern and aggressive design. The motorcycle's distinctive shaped fuel tank and clear, minimalist lines emphasize its streetfighter character. The SP version is available in an exclusive Mat Ballistic Black Metallic color scheme, with rims in Desert Gold Metallic for a unique look.
The model also features a 5-inch TFT display that connects to iOS and Android via the Honda RoadSync app. With this technology, motorcyclists can manage navigation, phone calls and music playback without having to take their hands off the wheel.

The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is a motorcycle that takes the thrill of riding to a new level. With its advanced technical solutions, enhanced performance and exclusive design, the SP version is sure to attract the attention of the most demanding motorcycle enthusiasts.
