I saw one sexy arsed (and it was the rear that made it) Hornet today.

All in black, racing rear seat crowl, street fighter front

yummy.

And then it left the lights.

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... Pardon?! Is that motorbike or moped under that glorious looking beast

and that was with an after market exhaust.

Hornet? Bit of a misnomer if you ask me.

misnomer? not really... when I get the cbr at a certain revs it does sound like a hornets nest... was thinking that on the m20 last night actually...
I think its angry with me for not letting it go faster....

the thing just wants to fly...

may not sound as good as the sv with the can on but Im starting to appreciate the fact it starts when covered with ice...

and Im starting to enjoy the acceleration it has....

now wheres me can of hammerite? off to finish phase III of the respray....

have you taken it to the redline yet lyn ? the noise soon changes, as does the speed (rapidly)

I've no doubt of it's speed, this chap was flying, which is why I was surprised I heard little!

Looked lovely though

yeah... it doesnt so much accelerate as just launch down the road

find mine kicks in around 6-7k revs, but really really goes like something off a shovel when I hit around 9-10 on the counter...

this is a 15 yr old cbr so may not be the same as the newer ones but it still bloody does a brand new sv650s... as I found out on the rideout on saturday

good good - thats what i like to hear

mines a 3 year old CBR. not sure what it will be like in 15 years you know.

its a honda... itll still be running and performing as it is now probably

I only know 2 guys who've killed CBRs... and they generally kill most bikes they have... otherwise pretty indestrubtible engines...

For a 15 year old bike Im impressed with it.... my SVs suffering from the mileage and its only 4 yrs old.... but the honda just keeps on going....

Just trying to slow down on it now... keep noticing Im over a ton on the motorway...its so easy to speed on it....
