    Come and get it cheap folks!!!

    Here's the skinny, I would like to sell the Hornet.

    It's been a great bike, but I have my eye on something I reckon is cooler.

    The only pics I have of the bike are me doin silly shit on it, but it's hardly a secret that i do wheelies, and on this critter I dont use the clutch to get it up.

    Given the mileage on the ol' girl, the condition is not bad, a few stone chips, and a couple scratches on the tank sum up it's faults. Never been dropped, and always been reliable.

    I did a write up about the performance when I first got it, and the gist goes like this...Surprisingly good at everything, heaps of fun, cheap to run, and the bars and headlights make this one stand out in a crowd.


    Some extras are...
    Oggy knobs
    Buell headlights (coms with standard one)
    Renthal bars (again, standard ones too)


    I will put a wof and reg on it for the new owner as well.

    Cheers, hope so cos I've just said yes to the new toy


    I'll take this time to mention that the pipes have had surgery, and it sounds great too.

    I would like to be able to keep it, but four bikes of mine, and two of Vickis' is just greedy.

    Does that also mean you dont use the head race/wheel bearings and forks seals when putting it back down too??!!!!!

    Definately not, but I can say with some confidence that someone who does lots of decent wheelies, does not often "crash" the front down.

    Having said that, were a perspective buyer to be worried the stearing head wont last long, I will replace the bearings and races before the deal is done.

    Only messing, its only hard landings that knacker the bearings. They're either good or fooked, whether the bikes done wheelies or not. Didnt mean to put people off, bikes are meant to be wheelied, its no worse than hitting a pothole on these bumpy things they call road in this lovely country!!!

    Remember when I was stuck in a cage turning onto the motorway, saw you and several others waiting at the lights. Keep looking expecting a wheelie. Sure enough

    Impressive one too, got me wanting a hornet. Got no money, unless you're keen on trading it for a derelict, worthless VFR400?

    It's usually foregone that the front wheel comes up if there are other bikes present, I tend to show off a bit.

    It would likely just sit there and not be used man, why do that when some other indevidual can have it for a good price and enjoy it daily?

    ps, the new toy is aimed at the same market as your agricultural machinery, but is slightly better equipped to deal with a Mair onbaord

    You look like you could teach a girl a thing or too. I am looking for a change in bike but that may be more than I could handle.
    Game on.

    Wouldn't be too much to handle at all, just a bit more poke is all.

    Happy to give wheelie lessons too, but I take no responsibility for what you do with the info.
