POSTED: 11/04/2022
A legend is reborn...
The high-performance, agile and aggressive Honda Hornet was launched in Europe in 1998 and bolted straight to the top of the sports naked bike category. A pioneer of its class, popularity was fuelled by the rise of the internet where this Hornet took the limelight with sports-minded individuals worldwide.
A trendsetter of its class, the perfect all-round naked motorcycle became a favourite for men and women, novices and racers combined. Kicking off its own one-make race series in the Honda Hornet Cup in 1999.

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.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
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 most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders 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; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policy and regulatory complaints.
