I used to have the 600cc version of this in the same colour and loved it, regret selling that bike.

IRISHROVER me too got a zx6r but miss my blue hornet which is why I'm here

Fab review, thank you for sharing it. What set the Hornet apart from the competition was the looks. Utterly drop dead gorgeous. I have not owned a bike for some time (I have a full bike licence), One of these looks really tempting...

I have the same bike with me..Wht a masterpiece it is...I feel very proud when I rev it upto 18k while new lawnmowers such as CBR 250 or ninja screems itz ruthless single or twin sound! And this is the naked version of 90's Honda CBR 250 R (Hurricane)!

great video

Had the same bike, sad that new 250-300 are single cyl. These little screamers are fun to drive,very lightweight and agile. Sad that I had to sell it.

Thinking of getting this on my A2, what do you reckon? Cheers

I watched your vid bro, and i miss my hornet 250

Yes, the hornet 250 is an A2 legal bike

How has the reliability been on the bike? I'm looking at 1999 model with 34,000kms. You reckon it's too old for a first bike?

I have hornet 250 1997 and it's great as a first bike cuz the frame of this bike is same as any bigger engine naked motor just engine is small as example 600hornet is using same frame as 250,so that would give you a feel how to control bigger bikes, but don't forget it's much lighter than 600 so keep that in mind, the only thing I would suggest is to get brakes on both sides on front wheel disc. Factory ones have only one on front right side, but there's enough space to get another one in other side. Reason I'm saying this is because I had incident with that bike, thanks god I'm okay and bike is fixed now, but that would be my recommendation.

very nice, looking into getting one for myself. I have a ybr 125 but need the extra acceleration this bike would give

I'm 18 (also in ireland), thinking about getting an A2 license and picking up this bike, how much do you think insurance will be for this as a first bike? And is there much of a difference between learner permit insurance and full license?

@MotoDragon

I'd say about 800-1000 euro, they will fuck you over in the first year and then it goes down so much in the second you. Mine was 800 and went down to 298

I paid 1250 for first time insurance in Dublin, Liberty insurance

I want to know some points about VTR 250 and hornet 250 even they're from the same brand. These motorcycles are almost the same on the frame and machine capacity. So I would like to know which one is the best to commute and save petroleum much more than one? For the sound, I feel hornet is the best like a race bike and VTR is a little noise. For the hornet pipe, could it burn the back sitter? I always take arid with a person behind me.

Hornet 250 is not great for 2 people because of factory seat, but if you change that, might be comfy enough, be aware it's not great for motorway, mainly city. Other than that it looks great, sounds great and it's not so picky on fuel if you keep them revs low cuz it has 6 gears, but with that sound it's hard to keep low Rev tho 😂

And no, it won't burn passanger as it have pegs on the frame made for passenger which are folding. No probs with that, just seat is pretty slippy and everytime you break you get pressure from behind

Do you know what model of this bike is the best year made in , if you get me. I'm deciding on buying either a 2003 model,53km. if not for an extra 500 for a 2008, with 27km. But I'm thinking which model is better?. If you can help. Thanks

I always think it would make sense to have a smaller bike for commuting, the only thing is, when I sit on them, they feel to small. Well I am 6'2/6'3. How you think the Hornet frame would fit ? Nice video and thanks for sharing.
