Stuff the Hornets... the NEW R1s are absolutely GORGEOUS... *drools*

.... sex on wheels ...
... angels with rubber wings...

I want one... :lol:

We nearly agree :P

I would have bought a new MkII Fazer (the one with the fairing like the 1000) but didn't because:

1. They weren't availabe brand new by the time that I bought my bike
2. They dissolved into a pile of rust at the first sign of rain/salt.

The new Fazer is a pile of poo compared to the old one.

12.

Why? Thinking of defecting? :lol:

Im being made out to be the villain here! :(
Thats it, the only thing to do is to go onto the Hornets Nest and start
lots of threads about how much better the SV is than the Hornet.
...........bait set! :wink:

Nah, i was just curious, i've only had the SV just over a month! I like the look of the hornet, especially the 2005 one but its another 2 groups higher up in the insurance. Having 0 years bike no claims and parking it on a street in clapham means that stings a bit! Er, no pun intended :lol:

However, i didnt say that the Fazer was better than the SV.. did I? :wink:

Grrrrrrrr :P no not at all, and bearing in mind i dont even have a bike atm its hard for me to talk, but when i do ill get a hornet prob a 900 unless i get a huge influx of cash then ill get a Speed Triple or a TnT :)

Not by me :D

It's a good, healthy debate and I know that I'll get stick from time to time just for being here :lol:

Nah - they're more interested in Foccer-baiting and, like me, know that the SV is a good bike. Not the best, mind........ :P

And they'll only remind you about things like build-quality and front cylinders mis-firing in the wet :wink:



Bottom line is that there's very little to choose between any of the 600/650 budget bikes (with the exception of the Bandit) and which is actually the best will vary with the person offering their opinion.

3 groups higher than the unfaired! after all, it does not have a fairing! :wink:

...and then there's the new R1.... \:D/
