Recently rode one of these (loaner), and have to say ... nice easy bike to ride, and on twisty A/B roads is an absolute joy ... however if you intend using it on a motorway then prepare to either fork out for a decent screen or to to grow Mike Tyson-like neck muscles, because the wind will batter the living sh*t outta you

A review in this months "Bike" magazine confirms this

Bloody bargain at that price mind you ... enjoy!

I quite like the sound of the stubby exhaust on them

It's like sitting on a 600 cc BMX bike in terms of protection! Welcome to the naked club

That's a fantastic price... And at 900 miles old it's still probably in better nick than a new Bandit or SV I really wish I could get on with Hornets, they're just fantastic bikes.
