The new Hornet SP is a great and affordable motorcycle. It is fast, easy to ride, looks good and is reasonably equipped. We really liked the ease of use. It's a shame that Honda has dispensed with cornering ABS with so much power. Nevertheless, the Hornet is a real fun grenade that you don't really want to get off of. Driving performance, brakes, sound - everything at a high level, which, by the way, should be the same with the even cheaper standard Hornet. And then all this for less than 10,000 euros !!The test machine was provided to us by motofun . motofun is a large Honda dealer in Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg. Anyone who would like to test drive the new SP is welcome here. Or would you prefer the 750 Hornet? Or a Gold Wing or Africa Twin? Anyway, motofun has everything there, so it's worth a visit.
