Honda has launched the CB 1000 Hornet in Brazil in two versions at Festival Interlagos 2026. The standard model is priced at R$68,800, while the SP version with Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes costs R$79,750. The engine is derived from the CBR 1000RR Fireblade and produces 147hp.
Taking 147hp derived from the Fireblade and dropping it into a naked bike is exactly the kind of thing that gets me. Charging nearly R$10,000 more for the SP's Öhlins and Brembo hardware reads like a pricing strategy built to properly capture SP-grade demand this time around. A standard quick-shifter gets my pulse up too.

147hp sounds like total overkill for someone new like me.
The Fireblade engine in a naked bike — that's just irresistible.
The R$10,000 SP premium seems fair once you factor in Öhlins and Brembo.
Fair or not, I still think the standard version is plenty for most riders.
147hp in a naked bike makes me wonder how it's positioned against the CB1000RR.
Selling it under the Hornet name, they've probably made peace with where it sits in the lineup.
