Japan’s Honda has revealed new details about the new Hornet motorcycle project, featuring an aggressive design, sporting ambitions and a cool powerplant. The design of the bike is Fuyuki Hosokawa, who also had a hand in the creation of the latest CBR1000RR-RFireblade.
The motorcycle received a completely new two-cylinder 8-valve Unicam engine with a capacity of 755 cc and an output of 67.5 kW at 9500 rpm. Torque – 75 Nm. The engine is capable of producing full-fledged traction even in the mid-range rpm range.
In addition, fans will appreciate the specially tuned model exhaust. Luxurious sound is provided by the uneven firing order of the fuel due to the displacement of the crankshaft pins by 270°. Overall, the bike turned out to be indecently fast and loud. However, what is required of him. True, the technical characteristics of the conceptual Hornet have not yet been disclosed. But very soon we will know.
“We wanted the engine to have very high torque and pulse in the low to mid range. The goal was to meet our expectations of the bike with the lightest and most agile handling possible. We knew we had to develop a completely new, short-stroke, two-cylinder engine with a 270° crankshaft. This ensures not only top speed but also torque, ideal for both urban driving and cornering on highways,” said Fuyuki Hosokawa, 23YM Honda Test Project Manager.
