HONDA HORNET 500: VALE QUANTO CUSTA? PRA QUEM FAZ SENTIDO?

In this video, I share my first impressions of riding the 2026 Honda Hornet 500, the successor to the CB 500F in the Brazilian market. In the video, I discuss issues such as price and why the bike isn't as popular as it deserves due to its quality. I also discuss what to consider if you're considering a purchase. The 2026 Honda CB 500 Hornet marks the return of the iconic name to the manufacturer's lineup. The Hornet 500 will be positioned as the "entry-level Hornet," with the Hornet 750 (scheduled for release by the end of 2025) and Hornet 1000 (scheduled for release in 2026) coming up next. The naked motorcycle combines agility, performance, and urban style in a design that prioritizes a balance between sportiness and everyday usability. The model features a look inspired by the streetfighter DNA of the larger Hornet, a 5-inch TFT dashboard, a new LED headlights, and safety features like HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control). In addition to the updated design, the chassis has received adjustments to the Showa SFF-BP front suspension and the Pro-Link rear suspension, maintaining the concept of a versatile motorcycle for city, highway, and sport riding. See the model's specifications below, including colors, warranty, and price excluding shipping.
