2025 Honda CB750 launched in Malaysia – More aggressive styling, tweaked suspension, priced at RM49,999

KUALA LUMPUR: Boon Siew Honda has officially launched the 2025 Honda CB750 for the Malaysian market, giving its middleweight streetfighter a sharper attitude, updated suspension settings, and rider-focused features – all wrapped in a bold new look.

The CB750, known as the “Hornet” in other markets, is powered by a 755cc parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank. It pushes out 67.5 kW (around 90 hp) at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm.

Mated to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch, the engine offers strong low-end torque, smooth high-rev performance, and easier shifting during aggressive downshifts.

For 2025, Honda has made minor but important changes to the suspension for better agility and improved front-end feel. The bike uses Showa’s Separate Function Fork - Big Piston (SFF-BP) forks up front and a Pro-Link rear shock, aiming for a more responsive ride especially in tight city riding or weekend corner carving.

Visually, the CB750 has been given a more aggressive makeover. Up front is a new dual LED projector headlamp flanked by a sleeker cowl for improved night visibility and aerodynamics.

The tank design has been reshaped with inspiration from a hornet’s wings, while the compact tail and stubby nose round out the streetfighter stance. The new look is functional too, with a narrow tank and low seat height making it more accessible to a range of riders.

Braking is handled by dual radial-mounted four-piston callipers, while 120mm front and 160mm rear tyres provide a good balance of grip and manoeuvrability. Despite the performance-oriented setup, comfort hasn't been thrown out – this is still a versatile everyday machine.

Electronics remain a strong point for the CB750. Throttle-by-wire allows for three preset ride modes – Sport, Standard, and Rain – plus a user-configurable mode that lets riders tweak power delivery, engine braking, traction control, and wheelie control.

A five-inch TFT screen returns, now with optical bonding to improve readability in direct sunlight. The display also includes Honda RoadSync, allowing smartphone connectivity for navigation, calls, messages, and music via a handlebar-mounted 4-way switch.

While a Quickshifter isn’t standard, it is available as an accessory and can be installed at any Big Wing dealer.

Two colour options are on offer: Matte Pearl Glare White and Glint Wave Blue Metallic, with the bike priced at RM49,999 (excluding insurance, road tax, and registration). It also comes with a 2-year/20,000 km manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first.

Speaking at the launch, Boon Siew Honda’s CEO and Managing Director Mr. Kunitomo Asano said, “The CB750 has always stood out as a bold streetfighter design. For 2025, we’ve taken it a step further by enhanced design, sharper handling, and rider-focused technology to create a machine that feels as aggressive as it looks.”
