Hornet-1000-SP
Welcome to Honda Bigwing Nashik Central—your gateway to power, technology, and refined aggression on two wheels. Introducing the all-new Honda Hornet 1000 SP: the flagship naked superbike that brings Honda’s racing DNA, contemporary engineering, and rider-centric features together for an unmatched motorcycling experience.
Engine & Performance:
The heart of the Hornet 1000 SP is a robust, Euro 5+ compliant 999cc, inline-four DOHC engine, borrowed and tuned from the legendary Fireblade platform. It delivers 157hp at 11,000rpm and an impressive 107Nm of torque at 9,000rpm, mated to a smooth six-speed gearbox with bi-directional quickshifter for instant and seamless gear changes.
- Bore x Stroke: 76 x 55.1mm
- Compression Ratio: 11.7:1
- Throttle-by-Wire: For crisp throttle response and ride-by-wire precision
- Slipper Clutch: Reduces rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifting
- Top Speed: 230km/h, competing with the likes of Kawasaki Z900, Suzuki Katana, and Ducati Monster SP
The engine offers refined torque throughout the rev range, with exhilarating acceleration and a screaming inline-four soundtrack that excites at every twist of the throttle.
Chassis, Frame, and Ergonomics:
Meticulously engineered for balance and agility, the Hornet 1000 SP’s steel twin-spar frame achieves 70% higher torsional rigidity over its predecessor, translating to sharp handling and high-speed stability. The weight distribution (50.9/49.1%) ensures composure in curves and nimbleness in traffic. Ergonomics are tailored for Indian riders: upright seating, a tapered handlebar, sporty yet comfortable sport-touring seat height (809mm), and optimized footpeg position. The compact dry weight (curb): 212kg allows easy city maneuvering and open road prowess.
Suspension and Brakes:
- Front Suspension: 41mm SHOWA SFF-BP™ inverted forks, fully adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression
- Rear Suspension: Öhlins™ TTX36 Pro-Link monoshock, also fully adjustable, for added comfort and track-ready setup
- Brakes: Twin 310mm floating discs with radially mounted Brembo Stylema® 4-piston calipers at the front; single 240mm disc with Nissin caliper at the rear, for exceptional stopping power and progressive brake feel.
Tyres and Wheels:
- Tyres: Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22, 120/70-17 (front), 180/55-17 (rear), tubeless for reliability and sports grip
- Wheels: Five-spoke cast aluminum lightweight rims
- Fuel Tank: 17L, suitable for long rides
Electronics & Rider Aids:
Honda packs the Hornet 1000 SP with advanced electronics for safety and customization:
- 5-Inch Color TFT Display: Optical-bonded, sunlight readable, with Bluetooth smartphone integration supporting navigation, music, and calls via Honda RoadSync
- Five Riding Modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, and two custom User Modes, letting you tune power delivery, engine braking, and traction control to your needs
- Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC): Traction and wheelie control with four adjustability settings (including fully off for track days)
- Quickshifter (bi-directional): Standard on the SP, supporting clutchless up- and down-shifts
- ABS: Dual-channel system for safe, reliable deceleration
- Full LED Lighting: Signature twin LED projectors in front, sharp LED tail, turn signals with emergency stop function
- Smart Features: Pass switch, service/warning indicators, digital trip meters, distance-to-empty gauge, and more
Design & Comfort:
Aggressive and purposeful, the Hornet 1000 SP’s muscular tank, bare-knuckle trellis rear subframe, and blacked-out components communicate streetfighter intent. The sharply-styled LED headlamp expresses a "predator’s gaze," while the split seat and sculpted tail section reference both practicality and sportiness.
The seat’s contoured profile and 809mm height suit most Indian riders, and the narrow mid-section makes for easy feet-down stops. The arrangement enables an upright but forward-leaning posture, ideal for city cruising and spirited highway rides.
racticality & Everyday Use:
Despite its superbike credentials, the Hornet 1000 SP shines as a daily companion thanks to:
- Throttle-by-Wire and Honda RoadSync: Provide smooth, manageable power in traffic and instant responsiveness when open roads beckon
- HET Low Rolling Resistance Tyre (Rear): Increases fuel efficiency without sacrificing grip
- Maintenance-Free Battery: Offers peace of mind and lower running costs
- Kerb Weight & Fuel Economy: At 212kg fully fueled, and real-world consumption under 6L/100km, the Hornet balances thrills with practicality.
Competition & Value:
At ₹12.36 lakh ex-showroom, the Hornet 1000 SP undercuts European competition like the Ducati Monster SP and Suzuki Katana, while delivering more features and performance than Japanese rivals like the Kawasaki Z900 and Triumph Street Triple RS. Exclusive sales through Honda Bigwing’s Topline network guarantee premium buying and ownership experience.
Safety:
With five riding modes, advanced HSTC, premium suspension, and state-of-the-art brakes, the Hornet 1000 SP offers controlled aggression—safer for skilled riders and more forgiving for intermediates aiming to grow into litre-class performance.
