Where's that Hornet flying off to?
1998
From the nest, it was born
Honda launched a brand new biking trend, with cutting-edge performance and a streetfighting aggressive look. Crisp in response with a powerful inline-4 engine capable of the most thrilling sensations. All for a very tempting price.
2003
Moulded perfection
The model was relaunched in 2003 with an updated look. Honda also added features the riders were asking for and an even more aggressive riding stance. On top of that, Honda implemented stiffer suspension, a bigger tank and of course cleaner emissions for the new millennium.
2007
Add a little "Bella"
The advanced new Hornet was completely remodelled by Honda's Italian team. Incorporating sharper hornet like aesthetics and a showstopping engine upgrade. With all changes made, Honda was aiming to maintain that sporty but easy-to-ride character and feel.
2011
Watch out for that sting
The Honda Hornet has been revised again, this time adding a fantastic new headlight and LCD display system. Maintaining the flavour of this famous model proved crucial for Honda so they were sure to keep the aspects buzzing through.
...
Can you hear that?
From the initial concept art to the open road, the Hornet name is a legend of its time. Matching the wants and demands of riders since 1998 with the perfect combination of technology, performance and design. The new Hornet is under wraps, but this iconic revival will pay tribute to the unmatched quality that won the bike countless fans from 1998 to 2013.

If we cannot resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, you may refer your dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service is free to use.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
