The Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) has a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height and a 1420 mm wheelbase. For an average 175 cm rider that works out to about 1° of forward lean with the knees bent to about 82°, and that rider can get both feet flat on the ground.

The Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) in the real world

The CB750 Hornet is Honda’s middleweight naked, and it splits the difference between an easy roadster and a sharp streetfighter. You sit upright behind a wide, fairly tall handlebar that puts almost no weight on your wrists, but the pegs sit a little higher and more rearward than a pure commuter, giving a light sporty tuck to the legs without cramping them. The seat is 795 mm — moderate for the class — and slim, so the reach to the ground is friendly and the bike feels light and flickable underneath you. It’s an all-day posture that still encourages you to push on when the road opens up.

For most riders this is an easy bike to fit. The 795 mm seat and narrow midsection mean a confident stop for a wide range of heights, and the upright bar keeps commuting relaxed. It’s worth noting the CB750 Hornet is full-power — the LAMS-legal member of the Hornet family in Australia is the smaller CB500 Hornet, which shares the family’s upright feel at a learner-legal output. Taller riders occasionally want a touch more legroom from the sportish peg position on long trips, but the seat height itself is rarely the issue here.

Who the CB750 Hornet fits

Moderate 795 mm seat with a slim midsection — a confident ground reach for most riders.
Upright wide bar with minimal wrist load, but slightly higher, rear-set pegs give a light sporty leg tuck.
Full-power only; the LAMS route into the family feel is the smaller CB500 Hornet.
Taller riders may want more legroom on long rides; the sportish peg position tightens the knee bend a little before the seat height matters.

Common fit & comfort changes

Comfort seat — A reshaped seat adds foam for longer rides; some are cut narrower at the nose to sharpen an already-easy ground reach.
Peg lowering kit — Lower peg brackets open the knee bend for taller riders on long trips, at a small cost in cornering clearance.
Bar risers — Risers pull the wide bar up and back for taller riders who want to sit even more upright, with no change to the relaxed torso angle.

Most of these can be previewed on your own body with the “Adjust the fit” sliders in the simulator above.

Compare the CB750 Hornet head-to-head

Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) — frequently asked

How tall is the Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) seat?

The Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) has a seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches).

Can a 175 cm rider flat-foot the Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+)?

On its 795 mm seat, a 175 cm rider (about 80 cm inseam) can typically get both feet flat on the ground on the Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+). Taller or shorter riders differ — use the simulator to check your own ground reach.

What is the riding position of the Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+)?

For an average 175 cm rider, the Honda CB750 Hornet (2023+) riding position (also called the seating position) works out to about 1° of forward lean with a 82° knee bend. See the riding-position diagram to judge the posture for your own body size.

Is the Honda CB750 Hornet comfortable for taller riders?

It’s comfortable for most heights, with an upright bar and a slim seat, but the pegs sit slightly higher and further back than a pure commuter, so very tall riders can find the knee bend a touch tight on long rides. The torso stays relaxed and upright regardless. A peg lowering kit is the usual fix if you want more legroom.

Can learners ride the CB750 Hornet in Australia?

No — the CB750 Hornet is full-power and not LAMS-approved. The learner-legal member of the family is the smaller CB500 Hornet, which shares the same upright, wide-bar riding position at a restricted output. It makes a natural stepping stone up to the 750 once you’re off your restrictions.

How we measure — and how accurate it is

Seat height & wheelbase come straight from the manufacturer’s published specs, verified across the maker’s site, media reviews and spec databases.
Handlebar & footpeg positions aren’t published by any manufacturer. Where a true side-profile photo exists, we mark five reference points on it (front & rear axle, seat, grip, peg) and convert pixels to millimetres using the known wheelbase as the scale. Where it doesn’t, we research the grip and peg heights and estimate the horizontal reach from class-typical geometry.
Every result is cross-checked against how reviewers describe the bike’s posture (upright / sporty / committed), and each bike page carries a data-confidence badge so you can see how solid its numbers are.
The drawing is a clean schematic — one shared template per bike type (naked, sport, cruiser, adventure, touring, dirt), anchored to each bike’s real seat, grip and peg coordinates — so you compare riding positions, not paint jobs.
Your figure is a stick model built from your height and inseam using standard body-proportion ratios, then posed by inverse kinematics — hips on the seat, hands on the bars, feet on the pegs — with the same posture solver for every bike.

Bottom line: seat height & wheelbase are hard data; handlebar/footpeg geometry and ground reach are calibrated estimates (see each bike’s data-confidence badge). Always sit on the real bike before you buy.
