Honda CB 1000 R 2020

The 1-litre version of the Neo Sport Cafe Racer shows that it doesn't always have to be the golden mean. In all honesty, it has to be said that the largest of all the representatives also feels the most "grown-up". The electronic equipment of the 1000 in the + version leaves almost nothing to be desired and the handling is extremely rider-friendly for this class. Playfully easy cornering with a well-tuned chassis, snappy brakes and low weight seem to be the recipe for success in terms of smoothness. In terms of performance, the CB1000R+ unfortunately has to make concessions. With 145 hp, the Honda is not a brute rocket, but it is all the more controllable for it. And 145 hp with a full tank of 213 kg is more than enough for maximum riding pleasure on country roads!

Flawless responsiveness of the power unit

Honda-typical extremely rideable 1000

Good electronics package (ABS, traction control, riding modes..)

Smooth and precise gearbox

Excellent functioning quickshifter

Black/white LCD not quite up to date and not ideally readable in direct sunlight

tall pilots may have space problems with their knees at the tank

With its successful revisions and cheeky look, the new Hornet is very appealing without being too aggressive. Only the display looks a little out of place in the otherwise harmonious design and the rear silencer will be recognised from a distance even by the short-sighted among us, Euro5+ sends its regards. But thanks to the Honda accessories catalogue, these visual conspicuousnesses can also be remedied with an additional windscreen that better integrates the display and a slim SC-Project silencer. And at the fighting price of €11,990 or €13,990 for the SP, the new Hornisse will be a serious contender in the battle for buyers' favour, as it has hardly any rivals in terms of price/performance ratio.

Very favourable price

Good handling

Cultivated engine running

Pleasing appearance

Noticeable load change

TC control

No more single swing arm
