Honda CB1000 Hornet: new flagship naked bike

Utlising the 2017 Fireblade’s engine, the new CB1000 Hornet makes ‘over 150hp and 100Nm of torque’. This engine is nestled in a new steel twin-spar frame suspended by a USD fork and monoshock, both courtesy of Showa. A 5-inch TFT dash is on offer and allows you to control the riding aids here, while three default riding modes and traction control are on offer here.

Honda CB650R, CBR650R: updated with E-Clutch tech

Both the Honda inline-four middleweights have been updated with a sharper design language and receive a new TFT dash for 2024. And these bikes are also the first in the line-up to feature Honda’s new E-Clutch technology.

The CB500 Hornet replaces the erstwhile CB500F while the NX500 will fill the shoes of the outgoing CB500X. Both are powered by the same 471cc parallel-twin engine that makes 47.5hp and 43Nm, and both bikes get the same 5-inch TFT dash now. Honda has also given the CB500 Hornet and NX500 traction control for 2024.

Honda CBR600RR: Legendary supersport back in Euro 5 guise!

Making a comeback after over six years in Europe, the CBR600RR is now back and Euro 5-compliant. Its liquid-cooled, 599cc, inline-four screams to just under 16,000rpm, and is rated for 120hp at a heady 14,250rpm and 63Nm of torque at 11,500rpm. The 600RR is now thoroughly modern and packs in a bevy of electronic rider aids borrowed straight from the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, including riding modes, cornering ABS and traction control, wheelie control and lift control. It also gets an electronic steering damper as standard.
