Honda motorcycles
Three Honda models on the books, from the CB750 Hornet at €7,990 to the CB1000 Hornet SP at €13,990, scored between 57.8 and 67.0 out of 100. Scores are computed within each bike's own class, so the small bikes are ranked against their own rivals rather than against their bigger siblings; the Honda that does best in its class is the CB750 Hornet at 67.0. The CB750 Hornet is the lightest at 190 kg wet and the cheapest at €7,990; the CB1000 Hornet SP is the longest between oil services at 12,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €200 per 10,000 km on the CB1000 Hornet SP to €260 on the CB750 Hornet, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the CB1000 Hornet SP with 157 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the order below is arithmetic rather than brand loyalty. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole range in one place.
