Ah A nice bike for sure...but is it better than a SV?

[didge]

ahh nice!!!

[jamieclayton9]

it is a completly diffrent sort of ride all together. more revy but more comfaortable cause i am sitting upright. apart from the bike looking nice it is always nice to know that it is ultra reliable. so far i am well happy. went threw a big puddle this morning and it never skiped a beat were the sv would cough and splutter. but in all am well happy. cheers. jamie

Nice bike! I found the Hornet a bit small after the SV - not that I would buy a H*nda anyway... :wink:

[instigator]

Superb bikes they are!!! :D

Superb bikes they are!!! :D

Well guys I have been trying to tell you!!! Jamie you have made a great choice!!! What sort of can is that on it BTW?

[jamieclayton9]

[jamieclayton9]

more pics now added :D 8) . also included is my old sv pics

Yours looks good with round mirrors, mine's got sort of square ones - not that keen on 'em. Also are the bars on your bike standard? They look a bit lower and wider than on my bike. Oh yeah, is finding the stand a complete PIA? I think it's too tucked away, at night I can't see the damn thing.

[Moo]

Nice pic's :lol:

So Jamie why was it you decided to trade down to the Hornet? Were you finding the Sv a little too much of a man's bike for you fella? :wink:
Come on your amongst friends you can tell us.(Dont be hitting us with that puddle baloney!) :lol:

[The Basket]

Maybe the Honda doesn't rust as much in Winter.

Missing the whole point if you ask me.

Arrrrgggghhhh!!!! My nuts have gone rusty!!!!!!

Ah the smooth beat of the v-twin removes all doubt.

Oh Yellow....no wonder he got rid of it then :lol:

[jamieclayton9]

its the first ever v twin i ever owned. the sv was a crckin little bike but you just know its time for a change when the bike starts becomeing unreliable, clonky, misfireing. the hondas i have had in the past have never given me any trouble at all. i do actually miss the sv to a point. but at the end of the day seeing it is my main method of transport i have got to know i can get evreywere without a glitch. if the bike was behaveing itself i would of kept it believe me. cant fault the hornet. has,not skiped a beat yet. always feels more steady on the cold mornings bacause of the 180section rear tyre and the 130section front. if i could of had both i would. cheers for the comments chaps. jamie

I opened that page and saw some nice pics of a curvy yellow sv650 but then saw the hornet :shock: looks a good colour ill give you that, but a hornet... :D hope ya have fun on it matey

Hey Jamie, just wonderin...

Which bike would you get as your first bike? The Hornet or the SV as you've had both? I live in the Peak district and probably do most riding around here on the twisty roads with the odd A road blast.
