Ah Luke my dear fellow you're only helping proving how good the Hornet is. I've owned a Hornet since Jun 2006 and have covered over 60'000 miles riding them (spread over 3 Hornets) including a trip to Nurburgring. I've owned many other bikes and they just were not as good fun in the twisties, or as practical. But yes, other bikes have come and gone so touche on that point but I have had Hornet for a few years now and I always go back. my first Hornet a 2004 model was awesome. I had 3 accidents and she kept going, clocking up over 35'000 miles. I sold her to a freind recently and it is now riding around Poland and he loves it. I had a 2007 hire version while my Hornet was being repaired. Not keen on the look but it felt just like my Hornet albeit a little tighter and newer. I then bought a 2006 version in April this year which I still have. So far I've done 14'000 miles on it.

Mate of mine races one in the Steel Frame 600 class & he likes it more than his CBR600. He is pretty quick on it as well leaving quite a few people behind him.

Hornet - I'm gonna get one soon. I love the things and I just get on so well with them. I had the use of my brother's hornet for a while and loved it - great fun to ride. I rode it again back to back with my Z1000 a few weeks ago and it convinced me that I had to have a hornet because I got off it grinning and the Zed doesn't do that for me.

I'm always keeping the revs above 5-6k, and hitting the rev limiter after it runs out of puff when I crack open the throttle. If the power you want is 3 gears below where you are, it sounds like you are doing the opposite to me and trying to ride the IL4 like a twin? |

lol, when I saw you had posted I thought you might say that. I know it miay sound wimpy but to be honest one thing it has made me realise is that I don't particularily want a naked bike (although Lily says it suits me!!!!!!!).

currently own a 98 hornet and an sv1k.
traded a cbr600f for it and never looked back, they are an absolute scream! for some reason it always makes me act like an absolute hooligan. |
