I Tried the 2026 Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch at 5'0" I Really Wanted to Love It

I had the bike for two hours and pretending I'm suddenly a motorcycle journalist would be taking the p**s a little bit 😂 What I CAN tell you is exactly what the 2026 Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch felt like for me at 5'0" (153cm), with a 26-inch inseam, small hands and not exactly decades of big-bike experience behind me. This was actually a pretty big deal for me. Since passing my full licence, my Kawasaki Z650 is the only big bike I've ridden. I bought that without a test ride because it was familiar, I'd trained on one and, if I'm being truthful, it felt like the safe option. Now I want to stop choosing bikes based on fear. So, is the Hornet too tall? Too wide? Too much? Did the E-Clutch actually help a short-arse in traffic, and did I fall in love with it? If you're a shorter rider, I'd love to know what you've ridden that completely surprised you. And if you've got a bike you reckon I should try next, stick it in the comments, I'm making a list. If you enjoy watching two slightly strange people muddle their way around Britain on motorcycles, subscribing genuinely helps us out and means a lot.
