2026 Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch First Look: Fast Facts

If you have last year’s Honda CB750 Hornet, hold onto it. It is instantly a collector’s item. It has been replaced after just a single model year in the United States with the 2026 Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch. With that, the standard-clutch CB750 Hornet joins the 1974 CL200 scrambler, the 1978 CB400A automatic-transmission standard, and the 1982 XL500R dual-sport bike as one-and-done models. With that settled, let’s see what’s different about the new CB750 Hornet E-Clutch.
