It’s almost twice as powerful as the brand’s current 750-class parallel twin, and that’s exciting.

92hp out of 755cc twin is good- and not typical Honda.
w/ 55 lb/ft...in a nice compact lightweight bike... sounds fun.
Can't wait to see a dyno chart. Shame the bike will probably be ugly.

Looks just like a mini Africa Twin lump.
2024 GB750 incoming. Bet on it.

You can imagine they will drop the screw and locknut valve clearance adjustment to make this a higher revving more powerful engine over the outgoing 750. I think most owners would happily swap that technology change for those extra horses.

The proposed "Hornet" lump is tall. The NC750X would probably lose its frunk if adopted, and possibly its stellar fuel economy.

It will. Blackend engines and motorbikes are ugly. Never saw a good looking watercooled engine in
a motorbike.

Many radiators are ugly on bikes, but Triumph does a pretty good job with the long rectangular one that follow the downtubes. Barely noticeable from my '17 Street Twin that I had prior to the EX.
