Laser CB600F Hornet 98-02

Honda CB 600 F6 hornet

Advantages: handling,riding position,fun to drive,reliability,good look, nice sound, very universal
Disadvantages: small fuel tank , can be thirsty, seat not for long runs

I have bought my CB 600 F6 Hornet brand new in 2006 . Since then only indicator lens cracked without any reason ,but it was replaced within warranty. I have done just a bit over 10000 miles on it and it still drives like brand new. If You are looking for universal bike i think hornet is just the bike.I use it mostly in the city where it shows it's potential all the time. It's responsive but easy to control, brakes are good ,handling is a dream, driving position is relaxing but the seat is not good for trips longer than two hours.Personally i recommend new custom one if You've got longer distances in mind. Oh and i have fitted my hornet with a givi windscreen which i think is must have - it looks good and and makes faster rides much more comfortable. Fuel economy is not the best but it's not too bad,all depends on riding style. ...

Review of Honda Hornet

Honda Hornet 250-The Original Hornet

Advantages: Cheap to insure, pretty nippy, rarity value
Disadvantages: Rare! Parts hard to find, costly if you find them!

What can I say? The 250cc Honda Hornet was the first of the Hornet range although nobody seems to know it! Many have never heard of it, or say "Sorry, 250? Never knew they made one." when you tell them as it's a Japanese domestic model, and never imported to the UK officially. It was demand for these 250 models that made Honda think there was a market in the rest of the World for these funky streetfighter bikes with their fat tyres (even on the 250 it's a 180x55/17 back tyre)and they decided to produce the 600cc version, and then the 900cc one, but they're different stories! The thing that appealed to me most was that the insurance was so much cheaper than for the 600cc version, and the bikes are virtually identical apart from the engine. Many parts are shared by the two bikes but it's the ones that aren't shared that are hard to ...

Review of Honda Hornet

HONDA HORNET

Advantages: fast bike which drives good in all conditions
Disadvantages: cant think of any

My family is a real bike family my dad bought a Honda hornet for my mom at first my mom was a bit sceptic for a bike with sooo many bhp but after a while she handled the bike just fine, and had no problems controlling the 100 bhp. This bike is perfect for both men and women, if you're not quite sure if you want to buy a super bike or just a bike for small trips then this is a perfect bike for you, because it combines both types. With its nearly 100 bhp, this will get the adrenalin running, for sure. The Honda Hornet is not heavy either so it's really fast from 0 - 60. I would say this is a good bike for beginners because is nice to sit on and there is never any problems with it. It's also good for the ladies because the seat is not so high above the ground. However if you want to go fast you need lots of revolutions, what I did was ...
