Honda caused a stir last year EICMA after dropping a teaser of a brand-new mid-size motorcycle in Milan.

Although Honda stopped short of giving much away other than a CGI silhouette, Japanese publication Autoby has published what it believes is the finished look of the upcoming Honda CB 750 S (Hornet).

While it might be just another render, considering that Autoby has a reputation of ‘predicting’ the right design, the CB 750 S might turn out exactly as the rendered image.

The mid-size motorcycle will debut as CB 750 S and will continue Honda’s CB600F Hornet but will showcase the exact design blueprint as the Hornet 250cc currently sold in India.

The CB 750 S is expected to feature Honda’s typical naked bike design similar to the Neo Sports Cafe CB650 R but will adopt a sharper front headlight compared to the 650 circular headlamps.

However, the CB 750 S is expected to feature a new build-up engine as previously reported and not taken straight from the NC750 series.

The engine is rumoured to be the same platform set to be used on Honda’s upcoming Transalp, a potential challenger to Aprilia’s Tuareg 660 and Yamaha’s Tenere 700.

On that note, there is also a high possibility that the new engine could also translate into the development of a fully-faired CBR750 in the future to rival the Yamaha YZF-R7.
