Sold mine many years ago to an airline pilot, I worked at a Honda dealership and parked my 599 out front for work when the young guy came in and said he wanted my bike. The shop owner wasn't happy but I asked him for a cashiers check. He came back the next day check in hand. I should have never sold that bike. Still nice to hear that familiar sound after all these years. My (now wife) and I are very lucky to be alive. Great machine. Now excuse me as I go cry.

I tell ya, I feel like these bad boys are a bit rare in the United States. I keep saying to myself that I’d like to keep mine for as long as I can. For a 17 year old bike, she runs fantastic and still looks beautiful. Hoping one day you can find yourself one again, or maybe a CB900F Hornet. Thanks for your comment!

I have a 2004 with 16,000 miles. Great light quick bike. Had an FJR 1300, now that was an awesome ride.

Good video. Lot of snow here and my Hornet are waiting in the garage, so only watching such videos are available yet. Thank you.

Bro you living in gta area... Amazing place! 👍🏻

Nice man! I was fortunate to get a Honda hornet 2006 garage kept with 7k miles.. been riding it for well over a year now and it’s at 12,600 miles never has it let me down and all the power and torque you need for the streets!

It is actually one of the most favourite naked bike to me. Keep going with that kind of videos. Inviting you to test my Honda.

Nice ride! I have the same bike. The only thing i found that was not so good was the front brake. Replacing the brake lines with braided independent lines provided a bit more power and a lot more control... Maybe you'd be interested, there are kits available for this.

That’s a good question, could always look up the VIN. Or it may have had a gauge conversion?

I own a 2002 model which I have neglected for more than 10 years. Going to have it serviced in a few weeks so that I can start riding again. Maybe I will buy something else in few years time, but for now I am looking forward on touring on my Hornet. Buying new gear is a necessity as I appear to have gotten too fat for my old clothes and helmet

I've just bought a Hornet as well. Took it out for a spin and it's awesome, however the wind blast is not that fun. I'm curious how does your windshield fair against wind? Does it offer some protection considering its so small?

@alandove3734

Congrats on your Hornet! Haha the wind can be killer sometimes. The windshield helps to an extent, but it doesn’t compare to fairing bikes. In fact the windshield was on it already when I bought mine.

Hello, this is a beautiful video! I had one question btw; I found this bike for in great condition with a very good price. Would you recommend this to a new rider? This would be my first real motorcycle if i buy it. I have experience with cars and small scooters only.

@alandove3734

Жыл бұрын

Hi there! This is my second bike. It is such a fun bike to ride, however, it is a 4-cylinder with 94 HP. I would recommend a 2-cylinder bike as a first motorcycle. I recommend a CBR500RR, a Ninja 650, or some other bike. I started out with a 2007 Ninja EX500. The Honda Hornet is not necessarily a beginners bike, but if you are up for the challenge go for it.

Where do you live? It is quite beautiful. :) Greetings from germany.
