Honda hornet 250?!

[greyhour]

Well as the title states, let's talk about the Honda hornet 250! Is it too old to buy nowadays especially since it's a 4cyl? Good or bad as a commuter both on and off the highway? Long distances on it? General opinions about it?

Perfectly fine starter bike.

A Well maintained and looked after one has plenty of Pep for a 250, a nice smooth 4 cylinder feel.
Great commuter, handles Motorway riding without issue (although in top gear, uphill and a portly rider on it, the throttle response can be a little sloppy)
With a good set of Rubber on it and some suspension mods, can even be quite fun throwing it round corners.
