Honda CB1000 HornetvsYamaha MT-07

Our AI recommends

Honda CB1000 Hornet

88% Match
The Honda CB1000 Hornet dominates on paper with a 999cc inline-four making 155 bhp, a full electronics suite (TFT display, Bluetooth, navigation, riding modes, traction control), premium Showa/Öhlins suspension, and dual-channel ABS with a 4-piston front caliper. The Yamaha MT-07's listing only confirms a manual transmission and petrol fuel type, with no pricing or further specs disclosed, making a detailed comparison impossible and the Hornet the clear, well-documented choice.

Honda CB1000 Hornet pulls ahead overall

The Hornet's radar shows a fully fleshed-out, high-performing machine across every axis thanks to its rich spec sheet, while the MT-07's shape is flat and low simply because almost no data was provided to evaluate it against.

Inline-Four Muscle

A 999cc, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine pumps out 155 bhp at 11000 rpm and 107 Nm of torque, putting it well into superbike-adjacent performance territory.

Premium Suspension Hardware

41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP forks and a Pro-Link Öhlins remote-reservoir rear shock, both fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound, give serious chassis tuning capability.

Rider-Focused Electronics

Five riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain, User 1, User 2) plus traction control and torque control let the rider tailor power delivery to conditions.

A Trade-off

The MT-07 is confirmed to use a manual transmission, keeping control classic and rider-engaged.
