The CB1000's front end design is similar to the Ducati Streetfighter V4, with the headlight divided into two angular pods.

The SP variant comes with an Ohlins TTX36 monoshock and Brembo Stylema calipers.

It has a 5-inch TFT display and a suite of electronic rider aids.

Powering the biggest Hornet is a 2017-2020 Fireblade derived 999cc watercooled engine, which puts out 157hp at 11,000rpm and 107Nm of torque at 9,000rpm

With its large, 17-litre fuel tank brimmed, the Hornet weighs 211kg, which is less than the Kawasaki Z900.

At 809mm, the seat height isn't as tall as the European hypernakeds, but the 135mm ground clearance is a little worrying in our Indian context.
