Re: new honda hornet

It's not available until April. This may sound like sacrilege (to other Hornet riders  ), but there's really not a lot of difference between that and the current one. A few minor engine internals have been changed to make the engine a bit more "peppy"  and those front forks, whilst looking nice, won't make that much difference. The bike was "sorted" before they started tinkering with it.I think that both the 600 and the 900 will be changed next year so save your money. If you really must have one then fair enough as they're good bikes, but with the used bike market as it is, try getting a low mileage '04 ex-demonstrator. |
